My back ache, constipation and very thirsty, what do you recommend?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiber is good but: If you are not drinking enough fluid it can lead to constipation., thirst and back ache. Remember caffeine and alcohol dehydrate and lead to constipation. Generally i recommend 80-100 ounces of caffeine free/alcohol free fluids every day. It will take 10-14 days of this regimen to see improvement. If not better need to have a GI workup for other causes of constipation.
