Patient's question:
It might be because of my stomach issue. These past few days, my constipation has been very severe. When I go to the bathroom, I can't pass stool. If I strain hard, a few small balls come out, and it's extremely painful. My anus also hurts. What foods should people with constipation avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
Patients with constipation should avoid consuming the following dairy products: whole milk, cheese, cream, ice cream, and sweets. While sweets are undoubtedly delicious and tempting, they are not conducive to absorption. Xiangdanqing, which contains a herbal formula of aloe leaves, ginkgo nuts, and astragalus root, promotes bowel movement without damaging the gastrointestinal mucosa. Xiangdanqing effectively stabilizes constipation and is suitable for individuals with chronic constipation or those experiencing qi deficiency.
