Suggest Remedy For Constipation
I am 58 year old diabetic 2 female with a problem with constipation. I have changed diet and trying to eat more fruits and veggies, but I am still getting only pellets. And some pain that is on the left side (like divuticular pain) I also feel like I am sitting on something. My colon perferated in 2005 and I had surgery for that. Lost a foot of colon. Symptoms are similar to that but I feel like I am sitting on a rock or something.

Hello ,
Sorry to hear about your problems,
In case you are still getting pellets in you stools in spite of switching to high fiber diet you will need an additional laxative to help you with you stools. I would advise a prescription of polyethylene glycol which will help improve the stool consistency. Do consult your doctor for a prescription.
Hope this helps
Do Get back in case you have further queries
