A member asked:

Can you recommend a good medication to take for gas, and constipation?

Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Try drinking: 80-100 ounces of caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily. Often eating a high fiber diet without taking enough of the right kinds of fluid will cause all of your symptoms. No medicine is as good as eating and drinking properly.
