Question
I’m experiencing irregular and dry stool as I age, even after consistently drinking water and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, the situation has not improved. What measures should I take? If medication is needed, what should I choose? Thank you!
Answer
Hello: For irregular and dry stool issues, we suggest the following measures: Firstly, children may be suffering from constipation due to poor dietary habits, so it is recommended to supplement probiotics to regulate the intestines, while also drinking more water and consuming more fiber-rich fruits such as bananas, dragon fruits, and kiwis to promote smooth bowel movements. Secondly, maintain a light diet and avoid fried and spicy foods that can irritate the intestines. Additionally, daily moderate exercise can promote intestinal peristalsis and maintain smooth bowel movements. Lastly, develop a habit of regular bowel movements each day. If these measures do not improve the situation, you can consider drinking some Cassia seed tea to help relieve constipation issues. You can purchase Cassia seed tea at pharmacies or online. We hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health!
