Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern persistent constipation despite taking syrup can be uncomfortable, but it can often be improved with dietary and lifestyle measures.
â
Advices
⢠Increase fiber intake gradually to avoid bloating. Include foods such as oats, whole wheat, brown rice, bran, lentils, and vegetables like spinach, carrots, and beans
⢠Eat fruits rich in fiber and natural laxatives such as papaya, apple with skin, pears, prunes, and figs
⢠Drink plenty of water throughout the day, at least 2â3 liters
⢠Engage in light physical activity like walking or stretching to stimulate bowel movement
⢠Avoid prolonged delay in passing stools and limit very processed or fried foods
What to Monitor
⢠Note frequency, consistency, and ease of passing stools
⢠Watch for abdominal pain, bloating, or vomiting
Management
You may continue your current syrup, but adding fiber-rich foods and hydration can significantly improve bowel movements. Avoid overusing laxatives long-term without supervision.
When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
⢠Severe abdominal pain or vomiting
⢠Blood in stools or black tarry stools
⢠Constipation lasting more than 1â2 weeks despite lifestyle and dietary measures
