Constipation can be a symptom of dehydration and lack for fibres in the food . Even with this symptom sometimes people will feel full and bloated. As with the history of jaundice in past, it will be helpful to have a LFT to make differential diagnosis.
Supplements too can stain the stools accordingly.
Next Steps
Increase water intake and add green leafy vegetables, calcium rich food like guava to increase the bulk of stool .
Take a Liver function test for seeing if there is elevation in enzymes and consult if elevated
Look out for any supplement intakes
