I am on dialysis and I am severely constipated. What would you recommend?
Due to dietary restrictions and other factors, renal patients commonly experience problems with constipation. A low-fiber diet is one of the most common causes of constipation in renal patients. Many high fiber foods are usually rich in phosphorus and potassium, thus not renal-friendly. Getting enough fiber by choosing renal friendly fiber foods can help relieve constipation. Renal friendly vegetables are cooked corn, carrots, green beans, yellow beans and broccoli.
However, increasing your fiber intake with renal-friendly foods is not always enough to prevent or relieve constipation. Some renal patients with severe constipation may need to take a stool softener to relieve.
Both diet and medicines are not a long time soultion. As for the radical solution for constipation, you need to repair your injured kidney tissues and improve your renal function. When your renal function is improved, you do not need to restrict your diet. Constipation will not happen. Here we recommend Toxin-Removing Treatment which is a series of Chinese medicine treatments including Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Medicated Foot Bath, Mai Kang Mixture, Moxibustion Therapy, Medicinal Soup, Steaming Therapy and Enema Therapy, etc. Our therapies first remove wastes and toxins from your body to give you a clean blood environment. Then Toxin-Removing Treatment helps repair injured kidney tissues and improve renal function through dilating blood vessels, improving blood circulation, preventing inflammation and coagulation, degrading extracellular matrix and providing nutrients. Once your renal function is improved, your life quality can be improved. More importantly, it is possible for you to avoid dialysis. Without dialysis, you will not experience its side effects including constipation.
Diet and Chinese medicine treatments are recommended for you to relieve constipation. If you have any question, you can leave a message below or consult our online doctor.
