Suggest Remedy For Chronic Constipation, Nausea And Vomiting

i have severe costipation and it has been going on for four months. i went to the doctor a he gave me this medicine called miralax to help me make a bowel movement. i was on it for three weeks, and i wanted to stop so that i could try to make a bowel movemtn on my own. i got constipated again so i bought a store brand of miralax and i took it, i drank water and exercised and i am still constipated, i took some last night and early today and still have not been able to make a normal bowel movement. I have changed my diet to try to help it and it worked up until recently. it got to a point before i went to the doctor that i was puking and constantly nauseous and dropped 25 pounds. please tell me what i need to do, or what i have so i can fix this because it is making me miserable.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about the problems you are facing. The most important thing to avoid constipation is life style changes. I would advise you to increase water intake, take food which has a high amount of fibres like green leafy vegetables, use ispaghul husk 2 times a day, do regular exercise and walk. If symptoms do not improve, you can try laxatives like castor oil, lactulose, sodium picosulphate etc. however, any before taking any medications, do consult your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
