Constipation pains and possible after damage

[cla84]

Constipation , so i may have over done the pain killers for awhile and had the most excruciating stomach pain and passed finally , but since then i’ve had stomach and lower back pain , never feels like i’ve gone to loo properly and my tummy is bloating and sore , and sickness as well . Not sure if this is the right group to ask this but i noticed others worried about this issue and wanted to ask advice thank you in advance to anyone that has some help to offer

My Mum routinely takes 4 Co-codimols per day + a number of other long term medications and as a result... frequently struggles with severe constipation. We eat plenty of fibre... and routinely include vegetables and fruits in her diet... but the constipation has continued to be an issue!! Mum has started to eat tinned pruned in natural juices... as she is also Diabetic. These seem to do the trick. Also prescribed a drink called Fibrogel (which I have personally used for this problem)... and can vouch that it’s very effective within 24 hours. Naturally... if et other of us were to drink MORE plain water every day... I think this would also be helpful!!

Two things for constipation are fibre and water - and where water is concerned plenty of it. Mind you that goes for fibre as well. Meat, dairy, eggs, fish contain no fibre so swap them out for vegetables, beans, grains, rice etc.

But start with ensuring you are getting clean water, not tea or coffee or alcohol. Sip water throughout the day.
