Hello. Many naturopaths work with newborns all the way to our wonderful elderly population. Some may specialize in gut issues or pain, etc. so there is definitely a naturopathic doctor out there who can help your father. What you describe would be something that most naturopaths, family practice or gut specialist, could address fairly easily.

The first question would be why is your father experiencing constipation? Is he taking medications that have side effect of constipation or does he have some neurological issues that may contribute - the short answer is yes, naturopathic treatments have less side effects and work more effectively than ducolax (most of the time). We do need to know why he is having constipation first though!

There are many natural treatments that work better than those you listed. Please reach out to schedule and appointment as finding a cause to the constipation will likely provide the most relief for your father.
