Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 23 years old and do not have any associated diseases. I do not have a history of milk intolerance. I had constipation and diarrhea for four to five days. I took a tablet named Roko, and I thought it was better. However, it worsened when I had any milk product. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your first query consult is on us!

First, we will have a conservative approach to the problem. I suggest you to:

1. Drink plenty of water, about 101.4 ounces per day.

2. Take a high-fiber diet, and consume fruits and vegetables daily.

3. Avoid a non-vegetarian diet for three weeks.

4. You can take some mild laxatives like Lactifiber (Lactitol 10 gm and Ispaghula 3.5gm) powder. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly.

I hope this information will help you. Please revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
