Suggest Treatment For Severe Constipation And Diarrhea

I had sever constipation. Thought I was impacted. Finally had bowel movement that was sandy beige in color. An hour later, went again emergency and stool was looser, diarrhea. I had taken Milk of Mag for the last 2 nights because we are traveling and I had been constipated. Could this be IBM? Could it be something I ate last night giving the stool the odd color.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of severe constipation and diarrhea.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Drink plenty of water and fluids and take diet rich in roughage and fibers.

- Take gluten free diet such as yoghurt, fruits, vegetables , meat, seafood, potatoes, eggs, nuts, beans.

- Do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals.

Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination.yes it could be irritable bowel syndrome as well. Doctor may take barium swallow meal study and can prescribe fiber supplement, osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine according to diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
