For the past 10 years, I have had severe constipation problems. I tried many medicines, and I have gone through 3 times endoscopy but discovered nothing. From 2015 till now my constipation problem couldn't be solved. To make it worse now I'm having multiple internal haemorrhoids due to this constipation. I don't know why I'm having this constipation problem.Many people suggested many things like changing diets, taking a lot of fibre intake, reducing stress, quit smoking. I burp a lot and do have acid reflux as well but now it is getting better. What is the best solution for my constipation?

Yes

I have been drinking one glass of cumins water ( boil one table spoon of cumin seeds with one liter of water)in an empty stomach in the morning. Have no problem ever since.

I had constipation and my doctor said I was dehydrated. She recommended electrolytes daily plus 8 glasses of water daily - I've been taking Electro-pH complex from Apex Energetics - 1 scoop daily plus Adding fiber to your diet is a very good suggestion - if you like smoothies, add 2-4 TB chia seeds; google fruits and vegetables high in fiber and you'll find helpful lists too.

I am a 68 year old female of normal weight, active and w/o new health issues. In January my bowel movements changed overnight; there has been no change in diet or hydration, activity level, meds (only Rx is beta blocker for a PSVT that appeared 3 years ago). I went from having normal looking stools to passing small “stones” (Bristol scale image 1). I went to see gastroenterologist who said, “Let’s start with colonoscopy.” That sounded reasonable as it was almost ten years since the last one which was 100% normal. Well, so was this one. I am almost two weeks past thar test, and my stools went right back to small stones. I poop on a regular time schedule, and there is no-strain to pass the stools. I am scheduling a follow up with the same doctor, but I am curious if any one has lived through this. Probiotics change nothing. Thank you.
