Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
The best way to get relief from chronic constipation is to first, let the bowels clears up by twice daily dose of Lactulose. Once the bowels are absolutely clear, switch over to daily bedtime dose of stool-bulking agents (such as, Psyllium husk)- to be used regularly.
High fiber diet and regular exercises will contribute greatly to maintaining normal bowel movements.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, and will prescribe the advised drugs in appropriate doses.
