Should i be concerned if ive felt constipated since around fall of 2020? since then ive been able to go but i dont feel like im getting all the poop out. theres things i could try at home (exercise, eat 3 meals), but im unsure that would help?

Good fluid intake (2 liters a day) and high fiber foods + active and exercise. Pay attention to the foods or fruits which exacerbate the constipation. Remember, not all fruits are good for constipation. Persimmon is one fruit which causes constipation although it is rich in potassium. Oriental medicine calls those foods or fruits are hot foods. Papaya and Prune are good for relieving constipation.

When constipated, I have to eat A LOT (like 5 full meals per day) to make poop come out. Is it normal for constipation?
For the last three months, I've had bloating after each meal coupled with thinning stool and constipation. I had an endoscopy (normal), colonoscopy (removed 3 pollips), emptying test (normal), and so far one week on Xifaxan for SIBO, no improvement.
For about 3 weeks, I've barely been pooping. At the moment, I've been eating only one meal a day (to lose weight and help other health issues). I also have a supraumbilical hernia and was wondering if the constipation could be related?
Been having abdominal cramping on my left side, worse after meals. Noticing undigested bits and mucous in stool, and am constipated. What can it be?
Occasionally after going poop I wipe & it's like clear mucus. I noticed this for years. I think I'm noticing it happens more when my stools are hard. I seem to get constipated if I don't drink enough water for 1-2 days or eat enough fiber. Concerning?
