Dear Ms
The white specks are likely to be dried up mucous secretion. Constipation is mainly due to following factors
1. Decreased intake of water
2. Decreased intake of fibre in diet
3. Local anal and rectal pathology
If the constipation is of recent onset then routine assessment by your Physician is required. I would suggest you the following
1. Ensure good intake of water: 2 to 3 litre a day
2. High fibre diet : 2 serving of vegetable salad and 2 serving of fruits especially citrus fruit will ensure adequate intake of fibre
3. Laxatives like Lactulose will be helpful.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you and your family a very happy and healthy Life
Take care
