Still Constipated And Few Hard Stools Even After Eating Undercooked Lentils, Warm Water, Mint Tea, Fruits, Bananas?

I ate four cups of so of undercooked lentils last week and I'm still constipated. I've been taking acaia laxative, drinking warm water, mint tea. I eaten fruit cocktail with fresh strawberries, apples, and bananas. I've had some hard lumps of stool pass through, but I 's still sore and feel overdosed on fiber. What should I eat , drink, etc.. I do light exercises which help me a little. What's your advise?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, you are really taking good care in your diet but here something is missing and that is your over consciousness, for not passing the stool, you have to go for toilet every day in fix time and do not change time go for it even if you do not have such feeling, go and sit there for half an hour do not apply any force, no problem if you do not pass the stool keep this continue till you get the result, hope this information helps you have nice day.
