Suggest Treatment For Constipation

I have been passing these black sesame seed looking things in my stool for the past two days. The only thing I could think of is this dragon fruit I ate on Monday (it s Thursday today). My first bowel movement since Friday of last week was this Tuesday. So is this left over from the constipation? I ate flour Friday-Sunday... and...I think I m gluten intolerant because I get constipated after I eat flour and in a lot of cases rice too! But I ve never gotten a blood test for it. I m also living in Thailand and that isn t a common allergy at all.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Constipation and/or Black seed in stool could be due to that dragon fruit which you ate last time.

You may undergo routine blood count and stool examination with ultrasound abdomen to exclude any underlying pathology.

Treatment is mainly depend on the underlying cause but you may require antibiotics, antihelminthic with supportive treatment.

For constipation,You should start light food with high fiber diet like salads(cucumber, cabbage, carrots).

You may also take laxatives or purgative like syrup cremaffin plus in night time to have effortless bowel evacuation.

Consult your treating physician for whole treatment.

Regards,
