Suggest Remedies For Chronic Constipation

This is embarrassing, but I was constipated and my stool wouldn t come out and was painful... I put on gloves and digitally removed it. It had hair in it. Long hair. I have lost a few pounds. But, to be honest with you, I have had a hard time lately and have been drinking beer almost daily for a few months. I m 46 y/o female. What is this?

Hello,

Since you are suffering from chronic constipation, stop taking caffeine, alcohol, red meat, dairy products, unripe bananas, gluten-containing food, processed grains, etc.

Keep yourself well hydrated, Take fiber-rich food, take papayas ripe & raw. Take papaya juice, eat fresh fruits & vegetables, take prune, prune juice,, prune smoothie.

You can take laxatives (Bisacodyl- Dulcolax, Correctol) at bedtime.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
