Dear XXXX
Chronic constipation is likely to be due to following
1. Low fibre diet
2. Decreased intake of water
3. Presence of lesion of anus and rectum: Fissure in anus
If there is no pain while passing stools, fissure is less likely
I would suggest you the following
1. Plenty of oral fluids: 2-3 liter of water a day: Consume one glass of water one hour before and one glass of water one hour after food. This will ensure adequate intake of fluids
2. High fibre diet: 2 servings of vegetable salad and fruits everyday
3. Oral Laxatives : Bulk forming laxatives like Psyllium and Ispaghula taking for short duration will be bery helpful.
The solution to avoid any drug intake is adequate intake of fiber in diet and consume plenty of oral fluids.
Following needs to be avoided
1. Refined wheat flour(Maida) containing food products
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
