Brief Answer:
Increase fiber in diet

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. I appreciate your concern. I will advise you to increase fiber in the diet. Take lots of fruits, vegetables and drink lots of water. Avoid products made from maida. Among laxative I will advise you to take a syrup containing polyethylene glycol, it also comes in form of XXXXXXX I find this salt very useful in my patients. Continue with normaxin and softovac. I hope this will work. Wish you a good health.

Brief Answer:
Take high fiber diet

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for query. In previous answer by me I have mentioned what all you have you to do. Apart from diet, do regular aerobic exercise. Normaxin can be stopped once you are symptoms free. Softovac can also be replaced by high fiber diet by adding more fruits and vegetables and dry fruits.

I hope I have answered your query, wish you a good health
