Suggest Remedies For Constipation Despite Taking Laxatives
Hello, It s been 11 days since my last bm. I have been taking oral laxatives, twice daily, for 4 days, in conjunction with suppositories. There has been no relief. I have also had extreamly dry eyes, thinning of hair and un-quenchable thirst for the last 3 months. Are these things related or all individual issues?

Constipation is mostly due to bad dietary habits. It is better to control your constipation in a natural ways. You should include fiber in your diet. Constipation is unrelated to dry eye.
Advice
1. Syrup Duphalac 2 teaspoonful per oral at bed time if you have constipation
2. Albendazole 400 mg orally empty stomach in the morning – single dose only
3. Include fiber in your diet such as split peas, lentils, black beans, lima beans, baked beans, whole grains such as barley, bran flakes, oatmeal, and brown rice, vegetables and fruits such as papaya, raspberries, pears, and apples
4. Drink 4 – 5 liters of water daily
5. Avoid weight lifting
6. Avoid straining while defecating
7. Do not avoid going to toilet. Whenever you feel immediately go to toilet. Do not postpone it
8. Avoid tea and coffee as these contain tannins which cause constipation
Advice for dry eye
1. Tear plus eye drop – one drop in each eye four times daily
2. Hot fomentation with slight warm water three times daily
3. Keep your eyelid clean
I hope this information will help you. I will be happy if you ask another question
Thanks
