Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of constipation which could be due to many reasons such as due to decreased gastric motility, gastroesophageal reflux disease, inadequate intake of fluids and fibre rich diet, eating a lot of dairy products, some medications like antidepressants, acidity and certain conditions like hypothyroidism and irritable bowel syndrome.

Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of sharp, spicy and hot food substances. Activate syrup safe to improve appetite. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. You should start with drinking a lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. Doctor may prescribe fibre supplement, osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
