Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
You have been taking laxatives but still your problem still persists.
My advice:
1. Daily exercises are important. Lack of exercise can make it easier to be constipated.
2. Increase fiber content in your diet. Eat fruits regularly. Banana works best for constipation.
3. Drink plenty of water during the day.
4. Avoid oily foods. If possible eat more of boiled food.
For further queries you can always come back to HealthcareMagic.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
