Suggest Treatment For Constipation

I have constipation problems Ive tried everything.. High fiber diet, drinking lots of water, changed my diet, eat lots of fruits and veggies. Nothing seems to work. I take Ducolax pills to go to the bathroom but my body is becoming immune to them. What should i do?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in HCM
You seem to have tried out all possible physiological methods. Instead of dulcolax I would suggest oral lactulose. Try lactulose and see if it resolves your constipation problem.
