Suggest Remedies For Constipation

hi i am having constipation. i have runny stool, but only comes out little at a time (i have been to toilet more than 5 times today). I did also feel some cluster of stool too. i also felt some kind kind of vibration/sensation (like a spasm) in my upper abs (right side), and had trouble sleeping (had to stand up or kneel to get some relief). [ps] it is ramadan and i am fasting too. Can you recommend anything??

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
This may be r related to IBS andchronic constipation (spasms). That is particularly true when you consume foods like nuts or popcorn that would trigger spasms of the bowel.
I suggest to run colonoscopy to exclude organic problems first.
With regards to finding blood floating in the toilet after you pass the motion, that would be related to possible:
- fissures due to chronic constipation
- hemorrhoids

In both cases, you need to take measures to reduce constipation that would trigger such problems:
- do more physical activity
- increase water consumption
- take more foods high in fiber content
- fiber supplements can help
- can use laxatives once in a while to improve the symptoms

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
