Went to my doctor and she recommended to tale 15ml Gut clear to cure constipation. I took this and was immediately relieved next day. icontinued this one more day and now have loose stools. What can I do to cure both?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI,
I understand your concern.
You seem to have either digestive problem/ infection of bowels which give you such symptoms of alternate loose motions & constipation.
A through history, physical examination & stool examination (if advised ) would pin point the cause of problem followed by treatment which may contain antibiotics/ anti amebics/ digestive enzymes as per need.
- Small & frequent servings help digestion in pregnancy.
- Regular yoga exercises & walking help good appetite/digestion of food
- Constipation without any infection of bowels indicates less intake of fibers in diet/ less water intake. ( it should be at least 10-12 glasses / day )
Thanks.
