Suggest Remedy For Chronic Constipation
I have had chronic constipation for the past 70 years. Recently it has become increasingly unmanageable. I have tried increasing fiber in my diet, drinking plenty of liquids and exercise. Most recently I have tried polyethylene glycol. It sotened the stool but Did not help me to evacuate and my bowel became impacted. Is there something else I could try?
