Achamma's doctor always said 'soluble fibre' is key for elderly constipation—so we switched from raw salads to mashed bananas and well-cooked oats. Actually, Appa's morning walk to the tea shop did more than his fibre tablets ever did; the routine movement and social chat get things moving. We avoid laxatives like Lactulose unless it's a real emergency, because last time the dependency gave him terrible cramps. I balance his water intake by marking the bottle with lines, a trick from my quantitative aptitude practice sheets.
