Suggest Treatment For Chronic Constipation
My mom has problems with chronic constipation. Even though she one defecates once or twice a week she told me she still has fecal residue on the toilet paper almost every time she urinates. She doesn't have any problems with proper hygiene. What would cause this?

I recommend using over the counter laxative option like Miralax.
I also recommend you use daily probiotics.
I recommend to drink liquids and eat fiber-rich diet.
