Gut problem
I'm a hostel student and I don't have access to fruits and fiber diet here. And my gut i don't know what's wrong sometimes it behaves really well and then sometimes I get constipated it's like this for a very long time, which resulted in a anal tag formation too , thankfully it does not pain and bleeds.I even take multivitamins..took B complex supplements too. My diet clearly lacks fibers.
Should I take fiber supplements? Which one..and how this can be solved like any lifestyle modification? I really hope it's not IBS😭

Your intermittent constipation due to a low-fiber diet is a very common problem for hostel students, and it is likely what has contributed to the anal skin tag as well. Yes, a fiber supplement will help â isabgol (psyllium husk) is the safest and most effective option available at any pharmacy; take one teaspoon dissolved in a large glass of water before bedtime. It is equally important to drink at least 2-2.5 liters of water throughout the day, as fiber works poorly without adequate hydration. Try to include dal, whole wheat rotis or bread, bananas, or any available vegetables for natural fiber.
Next Steps
Start isabgol daily and increase water intake. If you notice any bleeding or worsening, please see a doctor. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
