A reader reports chronic constipation worsened by Dulcolax and red laxatives, suspecting blood. Dr Lamb urges urgent medical check for bleeding, notes cancer risk, and advises diet bulk like bran, whole grains, and gradual reduction of laxatives. Also lists signs, cautions against white flour, and suggests Metamucil alternatives only with diet. Regular checkups and proper bowel habits are emphasized.
