How Can severe Constipation be Treated?

I haven t had normal motion for last one month. So I feel like I am carrying trash in my stomach for weeks now. Could you please tell me one tablet that I can take in the night and my stomach will get completely cleared off? I want to take it tonight as it s weekend. I am a working professional, i can t manage if i take such tablet on any other day and get frequent loose motions.

Hello dear
I evaluated your query deeply.
@ You can take tablet bisacodyl (5)mg at night as single dose to get 2-3
evacuations next morning . take care not to exceed the dose or repeat it
blindly which can cause dehydration levels.
@ Along with this I will suggest some useful guidelines for future also that
will handle your bowels very well in pace .
# chew your food thoroughly .
# balanced nutritious diet including green vegetables, whole grains , plenty
of liquids & fiber , curd .
# avoid prolong fasting / overeating
# avoid sleeping for sometimes after meals
# regular walking ,exercises help
# remain ambulatory , avoid stress episodes weakening gut
# quit smoking / alcohol / any abuse substances if using at all
# avoid oily / spicy / beverages / non vegetarian stuffs till possible
Hope this will definitely help you.
Thanks for using Health care magic .
Get well soon.
Regards .
