Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of severe constipation which could be due to many reasons such as due to decreased gastric motility, inadequate intake of fluids and fiber rich diet, eating a lot of dairy products, irritable bowel syndrome and some medications like antidepressants. Need not to worry. You should start with drinking a lot of water , do light exercises and avoid fatty and heavy meals. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon , barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe fiber supplement, osmotic laxatives , stool softeners and medicine to reduce acidity.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
