Hi
I understand your concern.
Constipation & hyperacidity can be managed if you change your dietary habits. Increase intake of fiber (fruits & vegetables), take around 1.5-2L of water daily, take ispaghula husk regularly, do not lie down immediately after taking meals, avoid heavy meals after 2000 hours, avoid excessive tea & coffee intake. Take Syrup lactulose 20ml daily for constipation. You can use it twice or thrice daily according to your condition. You are already using pantoprazole which reduces stomach acid. Follow these dietary habits & hopefully your symptoms will subside.
I hope I satisfied you with my answer.
Thank you for consulting at HCM
