Brief Answer:
Increased fiber intake is the best natural treatment for your condition.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through your query. Your problem seems to be due to gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper.

In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omerazole) or Pan D (pantoprazole + domperidone) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. Rather than taking laxatives, I would insist you to increase your dietary fibre intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* If I had a patient like you I would perhaps have suggested Prodep 20 mg tablet once daily for at least 2 months (it may take time for the action to set in).

Hope that helps.

Let me know if I could hep further.

Brief Answer:
No major side effects

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back and for providing the information.

Flotral (Alfuzosin) is usually tolerated well. Unless you have been having lightheadedness while getting up from lying position, there are no other major side effects that you need to worry about.

Cranbe (Cranberry Extract) is also well tolerated.
