Suggest Treatment For Constipaion
Hi, How r u doing...
I am Naveen, 20 years old. height being 5.7, I weight upto 70 kgs. I have couple of things to share with you.
1) I was suffered with acidity problem twise around 6 years back. And took pantop tablets from consulting doctor. Then the problem was cured.
5 years back I was in the hostel so because of busy schedule I often used to neglect breakfast. From 5 years I am having excessive farting. I fart through out the day. Will you please advise me to resolve this.
2) And one more question is, once I ate 10 dates at a time, since then I have constipation problem. To make sure that dates wont support for my body, I took it second time the same amount of dates. Problem increased again. Now after consulting doctor I am taking Fiber powder before going to bed. Will you please clarify me why am I having a constipation problem if I ate dates, and what should be done to come back to normal state.
