Hi,

As per your query you are having severe constipation which could be due to many reasons such as poor absorption and inadequate digestion of food, eating a lot of dairy products and irritable bowel syndrome.

Need not to worry. You should start drinking a lot of water and do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. I would suggest you consult a gastroenterologist for proper examination. The doctor may order a colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon, barium studies and a blood test for hormonal changes. The doctor may prescribe fiber supplement psyllium, calcium polycarbophil, osmotic laxatives, stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
