Posted on Fri, 12 Dec 2014
Question: I have a severe constipation and acidity problem. Also many docs have told me that intestine movements are not proper. I am not able to sleep at night, until 4-5am, unless I pass my motion (with some luxative). My regular diet is veg food and fruits like Pear, Papaya, etc.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX
This is Dr Jadia have gone through your question.
You have problem with constipation and acidity and many doctors told that problem is intestinal movement.
So I would suggest to do two reports.
1. Barium meal and follow up of stomach, small intestine and large intestine.
2. Ultrasound of whole abdomen.
So consult your family physician and discuss these investigations.
Continue high fiber diet like vegetables and fruits as you are on.
Hope I answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
