Thank you for posting your query.
history of constipation.
advice:
-warm water intake
-"fresh oranges" and pear
- avoid COLD milk and yogurt and AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether
- drink strong coffee (once only) on empty stomach to aid in bowel movement
- include fiber rich food in your diet
- OTC lactulose drug maybe used also
- "metoclopramide" tablets (5 or 10mg) may aid gastric movements. you may take before a meal (once or twice daily). This medication for one to two months if benefits you in the first couple of weeks
hope the bowel movement would be normal.

in case you do not pass stool, then its better to meet your treating physician.
