Hello,
To help with the symptoms you may need to take Movicol 2-3 sachets a day. This will make your stools softer and ease their transit in the bowel.
Meanwhile, you can take some probiotics to help restore the bacterial flora of your bowel.
Drink plenty of water and avoid junk food but take plenty of fruit and vegetable to help with your problem.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj, General & Family Physician
