Suggest Remedy For Severe Constipation
How can I get quick relief from constipation that has prevented a bowel movement for 3 days. Stool softener s and over the counter laxatives and Phillips Milk of Magnesia have only provided a small result?, I need to find a quick cure that I may have at my home. Thanks

Dear patient
For constipation general measures should be tried first. Take plenty of fluids orally and take high fibre diet ( cabbage , cucumber ). Take meals on regular time. Natural laxatives such as isapghula powder is best for relief from constipation. Take two tsp of isapghula powder in glass of water at bedtime for 7 days. Avoid coffee in morning as it leads to constipation and prefer tea.
