How To Get Relief From Constipation?
the last 3 weeks i have had a steak for dinner on sunday night. it was prepared on the grill and cooked to a medium rare. the cut was new york strip. the issue im having is with my digestion, it seems to slow down, by slow down i mean constipation, for the next three days after the meal. when i finally do find relief my fecies is pale in color.the first time i didnt worry too much about it, but after three times its got me wondering. i lift weights and do cardio 4-5 times a week and eat nothing but fruits, veggies, whole grains, oats, fish, chicken, and have been for 6 years now. ive never been constipated that i can remember untill these last three weeks

thank your for posting query@HCM.
constipation presentation.
STOP any multivitamin or any OTC medication.
do not "stress" for early resolution of symptoms.
meanwhile,
advice:
- thrice daily , take two tea spoon (or one big spoon) ispagula with 200 to 300 mL water
-warm water intake as much as possible
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
-eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- avoid COLD milk and yogurt and AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether
- hot (warm) water and mix few drops of lemon juice. Drink on empty stomach to aid in bowel movement
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks
hope the bowel movement would be normal.
"if no effect after 5 to 7 days following the above points, then visit gastroenterologist".
any further questions are welcomed.
hope to answer your concern.
