Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As per your complain you have problem of constipation that may be because of lack of water and high fiber foods in diet.

Irritable bowel syndrom may cause this type of symptoms.
Lack of gastric motility cause constipation problem.
Thyroid problem also ruled out.

Take a high fiber foods like whole grains and oats..etc.
Bulk forming agent like psyllium is helpful to you..
Stool softner also use.

Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage,cauliflower, carbonated drinks etc..

Bowel habit training is helpful.
Consult a gastroenterologist for further treatment.
