A member asked:
I've been dealing with severe constipation for about a year now. i eating plenty of fiber and i've tried miralax. also, last week i tested negative for colon cancer. what could be causing this severe constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colonoscopy did not detect any colon structural lesion which can precipitate constipation so your problem is mainly functional. You already ate high fiber foods so active life with vigorous physical activity + good fluid intake are recommended & please pay attention to the foods which include some types of fruits can exacerbate constipation. In alternative medicine we call them "hot foods"
