Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if taking Benadryl cause constipation, less urination and loss of appetite, which can occur due to many reasons and it is extremely important to find out the exact cause. The symptoms can also occur due to kidney problem . I would advise you to consult a physician or gastroenterologist and get examination done like complete blood count, stool examination, ultrasound scan of abdomen, colonoscopy & contrast studies. You should start treatment after complete examination. Doctor may prescribe you traditional drugs like lactulose, milk of magnesia and cremaffin or bisacodyl tablets. Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
