Constipation is generally a lifestyle related disorder.
1. Eat healthy food. Avoid junk/ spicy/fried/oily foods.
2. Eat homemade food most of the time.
3. Include more fibre in your diet like salad, steamed vegetables, seasonal fruits, and complex carbs like Dalia, oats and whole wheat bread.
4. Eat frequent meals.
5. Eat all your meals on time. Do not give a long gap between your meals.
6. Take a light and early dinner.
7. Decrease tea/coffee/ milk products.more

Dear sir/ma'am, Are milk and ghee good for constipation and fissures? Also can warm ghee be applied on the anus. I'm taking lactifiber powder and providac capsules. How much gap should I give after taking lactifiber to drink milk if I can. Please advice.

Dear lybrate-user,
ghee helps as lubricant and its easy to pass the stool, when you have fissures the hard stool can cause more pain. But this is not the solution of fissure it prevents pain. The gap between milk and lactifiber of 1 hour will be good, although it is not needed.
Homeopathy has given the best result in constipation and fissures. Do not suffer from this we are just one click away.
Get well soon.
