Sir, I am a diabetic and high blood pressure patient. I take Istamet tab.(50/500) twice daily and Telma H/Lipril 5 1 tab. Each morning and evening. I am suffering from constipation for a long time. I had fissure problem. Now fissure problem is much less but fistula-in-ano has recently been operated. I take diabetic diet and fat free salt restricted diet. But constipation problem is there. I have to take cremaffin, lactihep, mucibael, softovac SF etc. Regularly. Please advise.

Mr tapash kumar, try and increase fiber content in your diet by consuming more salads, flax seeds (25 g, roasted) or fenugreek seeds (roasted or powdered). Fruits which are permitted like papaya, apple (with skin), pear and guava. Drink enough water. Normally these measures help in overcoming constipation. If nothing works then the laxatives which you are already taking.
