I am 83 years old. Constipation problem for about 3 weeks Doctor prescribed. Lactalose. I took for 1 week with no Bowel movement. Went back to doctor he prescribed Senokot. My bowels I thought were pretty well emptied this morning but I am having severe pain in my lower left side which I had experienced before. The pain comes about ever 5 or 6 hours. I put a hot a hot bean bag on the pain and this helps until it subsides. I am in very good health and this is Very upsetting.

Hello sir
Thank for choosing HCM
In old age constipation is pretty common and no need to worry about this and even no need to conscious about this, it is okay if you do not pass the stool for few days, just keep drinking more water, have more fiber containing diet, keep regular habit of defecation, go to toilet even in absence of need of this, just go in and sit there for some time do not exert the force no matter if you can not pass the stool, you can try the Esabgol powder two tea spoon prior to bed, just take it easy, hope this information helps.
