I'm having trouble with my bowel movements for the past two years. I've tried taking 12 full tablets of CremaLax to control it, but I'm worried about getting too used to it. I've also been eating a lot of fibrous vegetables, but they haven't really helped. Can you give me some advice on what else I could try?

I've noticed that whenever I eat oily foods, I tend to cough a lot, and there's quite a bit of mucus involved. Sometimes it even feels like there's some mucus stuck in my throat. Is this a normal reaction, or should I be concerned about what's going on?

That says you are allergic to oil,try to switch oil or avoid it completely, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management
