What other treatments can help my mother's severe, long-term constipation, since she only gets relief from glycerin capsules and has had no success with remedies like Cremaffin, Cremalax, Isabgol, and Triphala churna?
Since she currently relies on glycerin, her bowels may require a different therapeutic approach. Under medical supervision, she might benefit from osmotic laxatives such as polyethylene glycol or lactulose, which work by drawing water into the bowel to soften stool. For chronic cases, prescription-strength medications like prucalopride may also be considered. Please consult a gastroenterologist for a comprehensive evaluation to find a safe, effective long-term solution, and ensure she stays well-hydrated.
