You are taking carbohydrate rich food which contains less fibre leading to difficulty in passing stools. Advice 3litres of water daily Add fruits or vegetables or spinach equally as the quantity of your carbohydrate food in all 3 meals . Avoid biscuits.

Your fibre intake appears to be low. Please increase your water intake to approximately 3–4 litres per day, as tolerated. Include a fresh salad with both lunch and dinner. Avoid biscuits, particularly in the morning, as they commonly contain refined flour (maida). You may include sprouts as part of your morning breakfast.

Increase fibre intake , you can take salad twice daily , sprouts or fruits in the morning . Increase your water intake . Calculate your daily calorie requirement as per your weight and age and take carbohydrates, fat and protein in right proportion.

Try these for few months , or you can consult gastro specialist if this doesn’t work .

First of all, please don't worry. Your symptoms suggest mild constipation with a feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation. Passing stools after drinking tea or having breakfast is actually normal. This happens because of the gastrocolic reflex, which stimulates bowel movements after eating or drinking. It is not necessary to pass stools immediately after waking up. However, the mild straining and feeling of incomplete evacuation need attention. One important point in your history is that you have been taking calcium supplements for the past two months. Calcium supplements, particularly calcium carbonate, can cause constipation in some individuals. My recommendations: Increase water intake: Aim for approximately 2–2.5 litres of fluids daily, unless you have been advised to restrict fluids. Increase dietary fibre: Include fruits such as papaya, guava and oranges, along with green vegetables, whole grains and adequate portions of dal. Regular meals: Your current food intake appears relatively limited. Ensure you are eating sufficient quantities of balanced meals. Physical activity: Walking for 30 minutes daily can help improve bowel movements. Toilet habits: Try using the toilet 15–30 minutes after breakfast. Avoid excessive straining and prolonged sitting. Isabgol (psyllium husk): This may help improve stool consistency and bowel movements. Start with a small dose according to the product instructions, with adequate water. If constipation persists despite these measures, a stool-softening medication such as polyethylene glycol may be considered after medical assessment. Since calcium supplements can contribute to constipation, discuss with your prescribing doctor whether you still need them or whether the preparation should be changed. Do not discontinue prescribed calcium without discussing it. If you develop blood in stools, persistent abdominal pain, vomiting, unexplained weight loss or inability to pass stools or gas, seek medical attention promptly. I would like to know a few more details: Are your stools hard and dry, or are they soft? Do you pass stools every day? Do you experience abdominal bloating or pain? Why were you prescribed calcium supplements? Do you feel that stools remain inside even after passing a normal amount?
