Hello,

Your partner is having constipation, she is suggested to take fiber rich food. She can take laxatives for better bowel movement. She should take adequate water and stay active. She should avoid sedentary habits. Since she has low iron levels she can take food rich in iron like green vegetables, lamb, turkey, chicken, liver, tuna, kale, broccoli, lentils, tofu, prunes, dates, etc.

Nausea can be a sign of early pregnancy, if having unprotected sex, she should get pregnancy test done to be on the safer side. Nausea can also be sign of liver dysfunction, she is suggested to avoid hot, spicy food for a couple of days & prefer to take boiled food over fried food. She can take liver tonics to boost her appetite. She should get liver function tests done at the earliest. She will be treated accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
