Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.
For good bowel movements the following are to be done -
1. Take high fiber diet that includes lot of vegetables and fruits. You can take fiber supplements like metamucil.
2. Drink lot of fluids
3. Adequate physical activity - 30 minutes of brisk walking everyday.
Since you are 63 years old I would advise you to get a colonoscopy done.
You also need to control your blood glucose level as diabetes with poor control itself can cause constipation.
I hope that answers your question.
Regards,
