Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Well, constipation should be treted with next remedies such as moving your body, trying a laxative such as fleet phospho-soda, milk of magnesia, or glycerin suppositories. If there won t be improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing. In some cases, it may be also a sign of tumors so it should be ruled out if symptoms persist. As diet remedies, you should look at your diet. If it contains a large amount of carbohydrates that are difficult to digest, try to replace them. Carbohydrates that are easier to digest, such as potatoes, rice, and bananas, are good substitutes. Also, try to eat around 5 to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones to help your digestive process. Chew properly to avoid doing anything that may increase the amount of air that you swallow. This includes making sure that you are chewing your food properly, and avoiding chewing gum or smoking. Also, drink some peppermint tea, chamomile tea and ginger. In severe cases, colonoscopy should be done and some medicines recommended. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
