Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My name is Ade. I think am having serious constipation because I haven t been able to use the toilet in days now. It all started when I had a stomachache then I took pepto-bismol and milk of magnesia. It vanished but then I wasn t feeling any bowel movements and even if I feel some nothing comes out
You have problem of severe constipation that may be because of inadequate water intake and fiber in diet. Psyllium is helpful. you can use stool softner for severe constipation. Osmatic laxative like polyethylene glycol is help in constipation.
Take high fiber foods like whole grains, oats ,beer green .Fruits like kiwi ,peach...etc. Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower, carbonated drinks etc...
After taking this much care still symptoms are present than consent a gastroenterologist for further treatment.
I hope my guidance helpful to you.. Take care. Thank you.
