Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I WAS ADMITTED TO THE ER 11 DAYS AGO AND DIAGNOSED WITH GASTROENTERITIS AS A RESULT OF A STOMACH VIRUS THATS GOING AROUND. ITS BEEN 2 WEEKS SINCE I HAD A FULL BOWEL MOVEMENT AND I DONT FEEL 100% MYSELF. I TOOK A LAXITIVE 3 DAY STRAIGHT, BUT NOTHING. IVE EVEN EATING MORE FIBER. I USUALLY GO ONCE A DAY, SO THIS SEEMS UNUSUAL. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Hi give it sometime. The rectum needs fill a bit for the reflex to be initiated like before. Do not use laxatives. Continue eating high fibre foods. Take care :)
