Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Cremaffin plus is a strong purgative for her age.
Lactulose syrup will regularise the bowel habits.
Of course it has to be given for along time.
Fiber containing foods,high energy density foods will improve bowel motion.
Excess milk cosumption will cause constipation.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
