Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Passing hard stools is really aproblem.
Alteration of diet is more important.
Give energy dense and fiber containing foods as well as green leafy vegetables and juicy and pulpy fruits.
Plenty of fluids to drink specially water.
reduce intake of milk and dairy products.
