Hi,
My advice:
- Stop any medication being used for
constipation for a week
- Thrice daily, take two teaspoons (or one big spoon) of isphagula husk with 200 to 300 ml of water
- Increase warm water (at least 8 glass/day) intake
- Do not drink water during and after meals
- Eat small meals (rich in fiber)
- Eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear"
- Avoid
cold milk and avoid junk food (NO burger, pizza-even if its veg) altogether
- Mix a few drops of "lemon juice" in warm water. Drink on empty stomach, early in the morning to aid in bowel movement
- Avoid beverages / alcohol / soft drinks
- Do some exercise (push-ups / squats etc) early in the morning
- Avoid carbonated drinks
- Take 2-3 spoons edible virgin olive oil in the morning
If there's no resolution after 10 days, then better to visit a treating physician. Besides constipation, if your weight is increasing and/or you feel
fatigue, then have a
thyroid profile test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
