Patient's question:
What medicine should I take for constipation? I often suffer from constipation and have tried various medications without side effects. I often feel inconvenient and abdominal pain. I want to find a method to stabilize constipation, what to eat for the best relief without side effects and without long-term rejection. How should constipation be treated?Doctor's answer:
You can decide on a dietary therapy: drink a cup of yogurt two hours before or after meals daily to treat constipation, and eat many cooked bananas! Be careful to avoid spicy foods such as strong alcohol, strong tea, coffee, chives, garlic, and pepper, and reduce the intake of meat and fish. For frequent constipation, it is recommended to stay active and massage the abdomen with hands to enhance intestinal movement and aid in bowel movements. Eating high-fiber foods, such as sweet potatoes and taro, is beneficial for bowel movements, and avoid spicy foods. It is suggested to drink honey water (one tablespoon of vinegar and one tablespoon of honey).
