DULCOLAX

    Dulcolax is a stimulant laxative that is given to patients for getting rid of occasional constipation and bowel irregularity. It acts by stimulating the bowel muscles and thus helps in the seamless passage of stools. It should not be given to patients having problems such as severe stomach ache or intestinal bleeding. Dulcolax is taken with water. It can cause some side effects like cramps, faintness, and stomach discomfort.

You apparently have peripheral neuropathy due to diabetes. There are good vitamin tablets which will control your tinging. Obviously naturopathy will not help.
