Personalized guidanceHow can I detox my gut from constipation? - #52376
Hi, How to detox the gut. I am acutely constipated, from past three days I am using triphala table twice a day, I am having prunes also everyday, I have tried boiled papaya, pumpkin,soaked chana, psyllium husk. From past 5 days no bowl movement. Same thing last week also, I had to take dulcofex tablet then only able pass the stool. Please suggest the solution. It has started with my mild iron medicine which lead me to this issue, I have stopped it after I got constipated.

Don’t worry, this is a common pattern when constipation is triggered by iron supplements + gut dryness Since there has been no bowel movement for 5 days, first priority is to clear the bowel safely Take 1–2 tsp castor oil in warm milk before bed This is a classical Ayurvedic mild purgative (safe short-term) This will help you in immediate Relief This condition needs snehana (lubrication) + mridu virechana (gentle cleansing) If you want, I can design a complete 2–3 week gut reset plan + safe iron reintroduction specifically for your body type and digestion strength.
