For The Past Two Years I Have Chrocin Constipation. I

for the past two years I have chrocin constipation. I used to take Triphala tablets more as a tonic. Is it due to that I am getting constipated. When I wastaking 3 tablets when I started 2 years ago I used to get normal motions. Of late even if I take 5 or 6 tablets, I don't get normal stools. My doctor suggested cremalax to be taken in the night - 2 tablets. It did help. I don't want to get used to it.

My diet includes wheat chapathies and rice with good amount of vegetables which are also high in fibre. My normal intake of water is more than 3 litres of water daily. More water I take , I get frequent unination and it doesn't help in bowel movement. Is there any remedy to reduce the absorption of moisture in the large intestine. Is isbgol husk better than triphala?
