Welcome 2 HCM!!
at this age group constipation is the most common problem.
it may be due to decrease in mobility,decreased bowel movement,lower intake of food.
so, walk slowly,minimum for 10 mins
use green leafy vegetables,salads,fibrous food,fruit juices
avoid heavy fermented foods,avoid nonveg food.avoid banana
can try avipattikar churna 1tsf at night with water
it is safe and can for long term
this will help to reduce constipation and also acidity...
also soaked black currants at morning will help in both constipation and anemia
have your mother a very good health!!
