If there are no obvious abnormalities this needs a lot of modifications in her routine. Ensure she routinely has plenty of water intake specially during say in hot weather, while outdoors, and minimum intake of water say 5 glasses per day to be maintained. Roughage in diet to be increased, like rough leafy vegetables and ripe bananas. Physical exercises and increasing activities like sports are recommended every day. Make it a compulsory habit to go to toilet and spend 10-15 minutes sitting for evacuation to occur.in case bowels are not cleared still sitting patiently regularly for the full time as mentioned above will finally retrain the faulty bowel movement and gradually normal bowel cleaning will be restored. Avoid strong purgative and instead use isapgul husk 1-2 teaspoonful dry taken with liberal amount of water daily for may be for 7- 10 days. Just give a fair trial. You may benefit.
