Constipation Solution
After taking fibre supplements like lactifiber and isapghol for several years. My constipation starts immediately after I stop taking these products. How long do we continue to take these to treat constipation? Or what are the nutritional alternatives for this? And if these supplements do not treat constipation why are they prescribed in the first place?
Please answer all the questions. Thanks.
