A member asked:
Im on fluid restriction as of right now. 800ml a day. i feel like im getting more constipated. i take 2 sennas a day but they are only helping so much. what should i tell my doctor? it all has to do with my sodium levels and something else.

Your doc: You should tell your doc about your symptom, which is constipation. By reducing your fluid intake as recommended, you will be prone to constipation. Physical exercise, such as fast walk or jogging always helps with constipation.
