Hello everyone,
Am new to this forum but not new to Diabetes. Though it took a very rude jolt to come out of denial, here I am finally taking steps to try and make sure it is not too late and my kidneys are doing fine. Tests in India found high albumin in urine (shockingly high) and tests here found albumin too a week later, but only moderately high.
Long story short, I have been now put on Jardiance (10mg) lisinopril (5mg) amlodipine (5mg). I was never constipated before and I seem to be suffering from it quite frequently now.
I am eating enough fibre, veg, fruits and getting enough exercise and drinking at least 3 and half litres of water per day as per my dietician's guidance. But this constipation is really is getting me down. Not to mention, kidney worries.
I am debating if I should call 111 and ask for a solution because I don't know what I can take with the medication I am on.
Any help, guidance, words of encouragement would be most appreciated.
Thanks a ton
Deepa
