Suggest Remedies For Chronic Constipation And Abdominal Pain
My 22 year old daughter is having abdominal pain and is feeling as if there is a blockage in her intestine. Should she go to the emergency room now or wait and make an app with her doctor? She was diagnosed with IBS when she went to her family doctor two weeks ago. He put her on Linzess. She also takes a lot of over the counter medications such as Miralax, Metamucil, Dulcolax, magnesium citrate and tums when she is constipated. Her constipation seems to come and go every other week.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of chronic constipation and abdominal pain which can occur due to many reasons and it is extremely important to find out the exact cause. Need not to worry. Drink one spoon of honey in warm water daily . This will be really helpful. You should take diet rich in fibres. I would advise you to consult a physician or gastroenterologist and get examination done like complete blood count, stool examination, ultrasound scan of abdomen, colonoscopy & contrast studies. You should start treatment after complete examination. Doctor may prescribe you traditional drugs like lactulose, milk of magnesia and cremaffin or bisacodyl tablets. You should take plenty of fluids and diet rich in laxatives.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
