Suggest Permanent Solution For Constipation

Sir I am suffering from constipation from last 2 years. I have been to doctors many times but all give temporary solution.. Is there permanent solution to this ? I have taken so much of Isabgol, Softovac from last 2 years and my biggest worry is these may further result in some side effects

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Take at least 16 glasses of water daily. 5000 steps is the daily goal for you to walk at a healthy pace. You should not skip this jogging/walking and I assure you your constipation will go away. As far as medications are concerned, You may take Fiberall 7.5 gram in water three times a day. It's available over the counter. Leave taking Softovac. It's not safe to take it for longer time period.

Drink 1 glass of coconut water daily. Take salads and vegetables, fruits and whole grain foods. Avoid sodas and fast foods. You will be alright.
