Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
I'm not pregnant but took 3 tbsps of castor oil and wonder if you can have any alcohol that day. I've never been constipated and do not have a family doctor. I'm 56 years of age in good health except for high blood pressure which I've taken meds for thte last 25 years...been a little less active lately due to winter. I'm really concerned about this lack of bowel movement ...have little bits come out every morning but then that's it. Still have a good appetite. Tried prunes, kidney beans, brown beans, cabbage. lots of water but...nothing but gas... Can you help please ??? Little abdominal discomfort on my left side...
Some advice that I can give to you are: - Drink more water. - Eat more fiber, especially soluble, non-fermentable fiber. - Exercise more. - Take Senna, an herbal laxative. - Eat probiotic foods or take probiotic supplements. -Use over-the-counter or prescription laxative
