How Can Poor Bowel Movements Be Treated?
Hlo sir I am 54yrs old male. Earlier my digestion and motion history was quite good but since last 3-4yrs it has deteriorated. I am not getting daily morning motion. There is a gap of 4-5 days of motion. I have tried to improve my food habits by taking fibre rich nutrients. I am taking curd and banana in regular basis. But there is still no improvement. Plz suggest me measures to improve my bowel motion.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, you must try laxatives for sometime. Bisacodyl must do wonders for you. In the long run, improve and maintain the dietary fiber. Taking Flax seeds will also help you. Avoiding or minimizing fast food and red meat, increasing the amount of veggies in you diet will improve bowel movements and digestion.
Take care,
Regards
