Long-Term Use of Softovac for Chronic Co

2025-03-25 11:13:01
I am 42 years old and have hypothyroidism and diabetes, both of which are well-controlled. However, I have been struggling with chronic constipation for many years. I exercise regularly, maintain a fiber-rich diet with fruits and vegetables, and drink enough water. Despite this, my bowel movements do not occur naturally without Softovac. I have been taking Softovac for the past two years, and it has been effective. However, if I skip it, my bowel does not function properly. I have also tried alternatives like Isabgol, Tupalac syrup, and Triphala, but they did not work for me. Additionally, my bowel movement usually occurs only in the evening. Given my dependency on Softovac, I am concerned about long-term usage. I would like to know: 1. Is it safe to continue Softovac for life? 2. Will long-term use weaken my natural bowel function? 3. Are there any alternative solutions to make my bowel work naturally? I appreciate your guidance on this matter.

For chronic constipation, a home diet consisting of high-fiber foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits (especially berries, apples, and bananas), vegetables (especially leafy greens, broccoli, and carrots), nuts, and seeds, along with adequate hydration and probiotic-rich foods like yogurt, can help promote regular bowel movements.
