Suggest Diet For Chronic Constipation

what is a good diet to follow to assist my digestive system. I'm always constipated. I have cronic body, muscle and bone pain and take hydrocodon every 4 to 6 hours. I have gone up to 9 hours with the pain medicine but then my body hurts so much that the hydrocondon doesn't work.

Hello,
To avoid constipation you must drink plenty of water,eat green vegetables and fresh fruits,do regular exercises and use ISABGOL husk 15 gms with 250 ml of water before going o bed.
Try avoiding laxatives,as they tend to be habit forming and loose their efficacy gradually.
Drugs like HYDROCODON also tend to increase the constipation.
Thanks
