Hi, I went through your query. Diet is the best way to solve the problem. Fibres specially mean green leafy vegetables and fruits like blackberries apples. For the time being you can go for some fibre containing OTC laxative like isaphgul husk with warm water at night. If that does not work for you, try lactulose but only as last resort. Hope this helps.
