Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of constipation that may be because of lack of fiber intake in diet. Hypothyroidism may cause constipation with other problems. Lack gastric motility also cause constipation problem.

For treatment of constipation you have to modify your diet and lifestyle.
Take high fiber food like whole grains, oats etc...
Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower, carbonated drinks etc..
Drink more water per day.
Do a daily exercise more than 30 minutes.
Eat fresh fruits like peach ,kiwi and Apple that improve your digestion.

In food add a ginger and garlic for proper digestion.
Lemon water also helpful.
After taking this much care still symptoms are present than you have to consent gastroenterologist for further treatment.
Stool softner is helpful .
Bulk forming agent like psyllium is helpful .

I hope my guidance is helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
