Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My gf s desperately constipated and smokes marijuana before bed. Do you think these could be related due to the dehydrating qualities of marijuana as well as the psychological detachment or numbing effect that can be experienced (losing the urge to defecate?)?
The symptoms seem to be related to marijuana consumption. It can cause constipation. I suggest using an over the counter laxative option such as Miralax. I also suggest to use daily probiotics such as Enterogermina. I recommend drinking liquids and eating a fiber rich diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
