Suggest Treatment For Constipation

Hello, I just pooped a weird mucus orange substance, no pain at all. A couple of months ago have to go to the doctor due to constipation, I went for about a month without using the toilet but everything went fine with medication and change on diet.
My mom is Afroamerican (lactose intolerant).
What could it be..?
