Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain sedantary life style is a common cause for constipation while it can also be due to causes like irritable bowel syndrome, hormonal causes like Hypothyroidism, excessive intake of dairy,lack of fibre in diet, side effects of certain medicines, food intolerance, eating disorders, lack of physical activity etc..
As it is already 12 years of the ongoing problem I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Colonoscopy, hormonal assy, barium swallow etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned according to the cause.
Treatment of the underlying cause can help in resolution of symptoms..
As of now you can start taking a high fibre diet..Avoid the foods that causes excess gas formation..
You should take more of green leafy vegetables and drink plenty of warm water..
You can also take stool softeners like Docusate..
Take fibre supplements like Psyllium..
You can also do moderate workout..
The physician can also advise you prescription medications like Lubiprostone and Linclotide..
You can also take Simethicone to relieve excess gas formation..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
