Thanks for posting the query,
As you have mentioned that you have pancreas problem, kindly let me know what exact is your issue with pancreas.
Usually the gal bladder stones present with the oily stools, so i would suggest you to get an ultrasound abdomen to rule out this condition.
Constipation always can be treated by diet and lifestyle modification along with medicines.
I suggest you to take dietary fiber powders 2 table spoons with water twice a day.
