Suggest Treatment For Severe Constipation
Hello Dr,
I have been fairly ill for the past 5 days now. At first it was a constipation, i had taken a stool softener and started having diarrhea (while being on a jello and soup diet). Since Ive had diarrhea its now been about 3 days and i have not gone to the bathroom. My stomach feels a little bloated (like the urge to go to the bathroom) but i am constipated again. I have been consuming jello, whole grain breads, cranberry juice, and small amounts of chicken; in small portions throughout the day to regain my strength. But when i feel like i have to go there is a clear fluid that comes out of my rectum that is very slimy and sticky. Please help

hi.
thank your for posting query@HCM.
for constipation; advice is as follow:
- thrice daily , take two tea spoon (or one big spoon) ispagula with 200 to 300 mL water
-warm water intake as much as possible
- eat small meals (rich in fiber)
-eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- avoid COLD milk and yogurt and AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza) altogether
- mix few drops of lemon juice in warm water. Drink on empty stomach, early in the morning, to aid in bowel movement
- avoid beverages / alcohol/ soft drinks
- do some exercise (push-ups etc) early in the morning
Hope bowel movement would return to normal and in case, "if no effect after 5 to 7 days, then visit gastroenterologist".
any further questions are welcomed.
hope to answer your concern.
wish you good health.
regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
