Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you have got constipation and can be due to a number of causes like sudden change in dietary habits, lack of fibre in diet, lack of physical activity, stress, dehydration, sleep deprivation, eating disorder, eating lots of dairy etc..
I would suggest you to continue taking high fibre diet, drink.plenty of water..
Take fibre supplements like Psyllium or lactulose..
Take stool softener like Docusate..
Take walk after meals..
Do moderate workout daily..
Eat ever after 2 hours..
Sip on warm water..
In case if there is no improvement in a week consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you Colonoscopy to rule out the cause and treatment can be done accordingly..
He can advise you prescription drugs like Lubiprostone and Linclotide..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
