Brief Answer:
LAXATIVES

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

Sorry for the delay in my response,

You can start with a basic laxative like psyllium husk powder which is a natural laxative and helps in free movement of the intestinal contents. This can aid in digestion and avoid gas formation. Since this does not cause purgation, there is no worry of loose stools or untimely stool urgency.

Take 1 to 2 spoons of the powder either mixed in water of milk at night after food.

Hope, I answered your query.

Regards,

Hi,

It is better to consult a doctor when you have active symptoms like that. Such symptoms can be seen in food poisoning too. It has to be ruled out with physical examination or blood work up.
