Hi,

The causes can be: psychological, DM, hyperparathyroidism or hypothyroidism; all need investigation to be done. For now you need dietary changes and exercises, dietary fiber wheat, psyllium, or methyl-cellulose, [psyllium] start at low doses titrate weekly, increase fluid intake [at least 8 glasses of water]milk and milk products can be minimized, coffee, tea and alcohol can be stopped. You must join online yoga breathing workshops [art of living online breath meditation workshop], I have seen total cure when these combined with treatments.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
