Constipation: constipation, easy to diagnose but difficult to treat. It is a long-term problem, needing long-term solution with life style changes, plenty of fruits and vegetable intake, proper water intake, regular toilet routine and ling term use of Miralax (polyethylene glycol). May need to see gastroenterolgy specialist if the problem persists
