How Can Constipation Due To Xylophagia Be Treated?
I eat a lot of paper and I ve day I guess i ate too much because I started to have really bad stomach pains and a couple of hours later I threw up a bunch of paper. I then went to the doctor for stomach pains the next day and was diagnosed with constipation. I ve been taken laxatives and now my stool is hard to pass but it comes really small and feels smooth

Hello,
Should take:
- plenty of water and fluids
- gentle laxatives at bedtime to ease bowel movement
- lactulose to soften the stool
- fiber supplement and fiber rich foods
It might take a few more days or weeks for the bowel movement to get back to normal again. Avoid unusual eating habits.
All the best.
