What should my mother do for constipation she has struggled with for three years, where she only passes hard, difficult stool once every four to five days after taking two Kayam tablets for two consecutive days?
Relying on Kayam tablets long-term can actually make the bowel dependent on them. To help her find gentle relief, it is best to gradually reduce these tablets and discuss starting a daily osmotic laxative, such as polyethylene glycol or lactulose, with her doctor. Increasing her daily water intake, eating more fiber-rich foods, and gentle daily walks can also make a big difference. Please schedule an appointment with a healthcare professional to safely guide her through this transition and ensure there are no underlying concerns.
