CHRONIC CONSTIPATION: It is easy to give rx for constipation but if recurrent , DX work up should be done like lower GI series or colon r-ray. If ok check diet.Are you eating a lot of rice, apples, bananas, lots of tea but less fluid intake ? You have to eat more of fruits and veggies and juice like prunes , pears, oranges. Rx that can help you are metamucil powder added to water daily dulcolax tab. At bedtime or supp.
