Drink loads of water. It’s really miserable being constipated. I’d go back to dr.

Linseeds/flaxseeds, high fibre bran, prune/prune juice, fruit and try exercise if you can - these things helped me when I suffered. Good luck x

Plenty water to drink and lots fruit and vegetables brown bread fresh orange and try not get stressed about it

Grind oats and drink them dissolved in water.

Get Psyllium husks (not psyllium tablets) dissolve in water and drink it down. You can add juice or a smoothie.

Btw smoothies made of banana, chia seeds, kiwi, oats and teff flour as well as pure low fat cocoa powder are going to do the trick. 👍
