Will It Be Safe To Take Laxido For Constipation?

Hi I'm 34 weeks pregnant and I have noticed over the past couple of days my stool is mustard in colour , light but not white . I have no other symptoms and my stool is soft . I did however suffer with constipation a a few days prior and was given laxido by the doctor. Is my stool colour anything to worry about ?

Hello,

All shades of brown and even green are considered normal. Only rarely does stool color indicate a potentially serious intestinal condition.

Stool color is generally influenced by what you eat as well as by the amount of bile.

Some advice that I can give to you is:
-Drink more water.
-Eat more fiber, especially soluble, non-fermentable fiber.
-Exercise more.
-Drink coffee, especially caffeinated coffee.
-Take Senna, an herbal laxative.
-Eat probiotic foods or take probiotic supplements.
-Take over-the-counter or prescription laxative.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
