Suggest Treatment For Constipation
I m trying to relieve constipation but nothing is working. I m in a lot of pain after meals, and I can go days without having a bowel movement so I take a laxative but the cycle starts all over again. The laxatives give me painful diarrhea. I take stool softeners, drink 4-5 glasses of water a day, I exercise almost daily, I eat fibre rich foods and probiotic yogurt, I ve taken acidophilus pills, probiotic pills, fibre pills. What s wrong with me that nothing is working? And the little bit that has come out the past couple days is mucous filled. Any advice?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your as you go overconscious about the constipation more you would be disturb, constipation is not the disease that can be treated, no need to worry even if you do not pass the stool till days, but keep the habit going in toilet even if you do not have such feeling do not apply any force for defecation, have fiber containing diet, drink more water, take care and have a nice day.
