Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have been suffering from constipation my whole life, and I have tried all kinds of diets but it keeps coming back. I believe I have a slow system and it takes time to get to the bowels. By the time it gets there, it is hard and dry. I drink plenty of water. What is a natural way to relieve this?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I appreciate your seeking help.

I would recommend the following instructions mentioned below for relief.

1. Take two tablets of Triphala (Ayurvedic medicine) twice daily.

2.. Try to have a relative Mediterranean diet,

3. Stay well hydrated.

4. Eat less fatty, oily, greasy, and flesh foods.

5. Restrict tea, coffee, and sweet foodstuff including sweetened carbonated beverages or packaged juices, etc.

6. Have an active lifestyle like doing aerobic exercise daily for at least 30 to 45 minutes.

7. It is important that you de-stress. Performing yoga and meditation, under the guidance of a trained person, can help.

8. Again, abdominal massage, daily, either by you yourself or by a trained masseur helps not only tone up the abdominal muscles but also facilitate intestinal peristalsis thereby aiding empty bowels.

Hope this helps.

Do take care, and all the very best.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Thanks and regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
