Suggest Remedy For Constipation

I had a c section around a year ago and straight after I had severe constipation. I have not suffered since until now - I have not been to the toilet for almost 2 weeks unless I have taken laxatives. Should I be concerned and is this linked to this c section? I admitt my diet is not the best - I have recently been eating alot of white bread, crisps and not enough fruit and vegetables. As of yesterday I have started to take a fibre drink and cut out white bread and eat bran based foods instead.....

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic...

You have mentioned not going for stool since 2 week...
So first rule out organic causes...
For which you can perform USG abdomen...
It will help in rule out intestinal obstruction like like by bends or adhesions...
If nonorganic cause found and constipation is functional by some precipitating factor like stress , bad life style ,unhealthy food , lack of physical activity then treatment by drug done...

For that bulk forming agent like psyllium huska with milk can be taken...
Avocados fruit rich in fiber so taken...
Foods like blueberry , peaches , red beet useful.
Drink lots of fluid....
Whole grain , wheat bran , apple , carrot are good for intake as contain more fiber ....
Regular mild activity needed.
Green leafy veg taken more.

Take care.

With keeping this in mind consult gastroenterologist..
