How to stop constipation and pain in the back?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

I suggest you use a Polyethylene glycol-electrolyte solution (osmotic laxative) enema. A drastic change in lifestyle is required to cure constipation. Not exercising enough, not drinking enough water, and delaying a bowel movement can worsen constipation symptoms. The most important factor in curing constipation is a natural and simple diet. This should consist of unrefined food such as whole grain cereals, bran, honey, and lentils; green leafy vegetables, like spinach, beans, lettuce, celery, asparagus, and carrot. Adding some fat to meals or increasing the size of a meal such as breakfast can help create the urge to defecate. Individuals suffering from constipation should increase the amount of plant foods they consume to get more fiber in their diet. Constipation can be treated by changing diets.

Secondly, the human gastrointestinal tract is colonized by 1013 to 1014 bacteria of 400 different species and subspecies. They are responsible for the proper digestion of food. Depletion of this flora due to surgery can lead to severe constipation and digestive problems. Intestinal flora are types of microorganisms known as probiotics that live normally as part of the intestinal tract. These organisms have several functions that help the body. The most plentiful and important bacteria in the small intestine is the Lactobacillus species. Lactobacillus helps ferment indigestible carbohydrates. It also helps to stimulate the digestive process and aid the absorption of nutrients, as well as increase the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. I would suggest you start taking probiotics regularly. Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are good for digestion.

Apart from this, I suggest you also follow the suggestions mentioned below.

1. Take one teaspoon of linseed with warm water at night for bulk and lubrication. Linseed is extremely useful in difficult cases of constipation.

2. The diet alone is not enough. Food should be properly chewed. Each morsel should be chewed at least 20 times.

3. Go for regular walking and do some light exercise. Walking time should be gradually increased until it reaches 20 minutes.

4. Drink at least eight glasses of water daily. Water helps push the food through the intestines and also helps lubricate intestinal tissues. When the body is dehydrated, the intestines absorb the fluids from the food waste, which in turn leads to hardened stools.

5. Avoid alcohol and caffeine because these substances contribute to dehydration.

6. Use fish oil and castor oil. Fish oil is believed to encourage healthy digestion and castor oil produces a laxative effect when ingested.

7. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, which contain high amounts of fiber. This will aid in alleviating symptoms of constipation.

All these things will increase the bulk of your stool. They will soften it and will clear your ileum of the compacted fecal material.

8. While sitting on the toilet, support the feet on a small stool in order to achieve a normal position that aids in bowel movement.

9. Take Fybogel husk (bulk-producing laxative). Fybogel sachets and Fybogel Hi-Fibre sachets both contain the active ingredient Ispaghula husk, which is a type of medicine called a bulk-forming laxative. Ispaghula is a type of fiber. It swells when it comes into contact with fluid in the gut and thus increases the volume of the feces. It increases the bulk in your stool, an effect that helps to cause movement of the intestines. It also works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
