Evacoul granules are generally safe for constipation-predominant IBS. It works as a bulk-forming laxative and helps soften hard stools. Since you had small intestine obstruction surgery (2017), you should: • Start with half spoon at night for 2–3 days • Take with plenty of water (at least 1 full glass) • Do NOT take if you have severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or no passage of gas If bloating increases or pain develops, stop and consult your doctor. Also ensure: • 2–3 liters water daily • Regular walking • Add natural fiber gradually

Next Steps

If constipation persists >2 weeks or symptoms worsen, further evaluation may be needed.
