Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems that your mother has some cause (infective/infestation worms) for constipation, it does not seem to be a simple change in eating habits, digestive defect.
Infection like amoebiasis causes inflammation & infection of intestines to cause colicky pain with constipation or diarrhea. Though constipation can be relieved by stool softness, pain remains till basic cause is treated.
She needs to get investigated with stool routine examination to get causative organism and get the specific treatment. Along with the medicines advised, take light, Frequent and small servings.
Drink boiled and sufficient water. Do not massage. He or foment abdomen for pain. Be patient and take good personal care, keep yourself well hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
