Greetings, Im suffering from severe constipation from the last 4 months. I have used all sugar alcohols like sorbitol, xylitol, lactitol monohydrate, milk of magnesia but nothing works. I'm taking 30-35 grams of fiber and 2-3 liters of water bit only thing I get is bloating and uncomfort. The only thing that works is dulcolax or bisacotydl tablets but it's habit forming so I don't take it regularly but have to take it in 2-3 days interval to clean my intestine. I feel frustrated. Please I would appreciate some help and as a side note I have diabetes so I would like some sugar free recommendation. Tablets rather than syrup is highly appreciated or any other tips that will work. Thank you doc in advance. Have a good day.

lybrate-user your problem needs attention The constipation could be related with diabetes So Get Your blood sugars under control At least one opinion of surgeon is required to rule out an ano rectal pathology as a cause of constipation The surgeon may advise you a colonoscopy In the meantime you increase fiber in diet increase fluid intake regular exercise and dulcolax suppository to be inserted in the rectum occasionally.
