What Is The Remedy For Constipation?
I am 70 years old and have been constipated for a couple of months now. I do take fiber to help me and that seems to work. However my stools are very skinny....I ve never seen them that way before. I also am very gasy.....even when I don t eat gasy foods. Thanks for your help, Jane

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to constipation.
I recommend to use over the counter laxative option such as Miralax.
I also recommend to use daily probiotics.
I suggest to drink liquids and eat fiber rich diet.
