Chronic constipation: Need to see gastroenterology. First recommendation would be daily fiber laxative like metamucil. Second would be moral ax 17 grams duly in 8 oz fluid. There are prescriptive drugs for chronic constipation that are effective ie amitiza (lubiprostone). Need to see physician first.
