Assalaamu Alaykum,
Please can someone advise me with my situation. I have pretty bad constipation atm, I've really bulked up on the fibre and even laxatives aren't so effective. I have a lot of gas as a result. So when I've got wudu, it's very difficult for me to pray properly because I'm always worried whether I've broke my wudu, I can't concentrate for most of the time during salaah. Also, I constantly have to do my wudu again this is getting very difficult for me and I need some advice please. Can I be regarded as Mazur in this case?
JazakAllah
Asalaamu Alaikum, According to Sheikh Mufti Ebrahim Desai:
Continuous passing of wind renders you a Ma'zoor. Perform a fresh Wudhu for each Salaat time. This will suffice.

In regards to your problems with constipation:
REMEDIES FOR CONSTIPATION
Bael fruit.
Generally all fruits, except banana and jackfruit, are beneficial in the treatment of constipation. Certain fruits are, however, more effective. Bael fruit is regarded as the best for all laxatives. It cleans and tones up the intestines. Its regular use for 2 or 3 months throws out even the old accumulated fecal matter. It should be preferably taken in its original form before dinner. About 60grms of the fruit are sufficient for an adult.
Pear.
Pears are beneficial in the treatment of constipation. Patients suffering from chronic constipation should adopt an exclusive diet of this fruit or its juice for a few days, but in ordinary cases, a medium- sized pear taken after dinner or with breakfast will have the desired effect.
Guava.
Guava is another effective remedy for constipation. When eaten with seeds, it provides roughage to the diet and helps in the normal evacuation of the bowels. 1 or 2 guavas should be taken everyday.
Grapes.
Grapes have proved very beneficial in overcoming constipation. The combination of the properties of the cellulose, sugar, and organic acid in grapes make them a laxative food. Their field of action is not limited to clearing the bowels only. They also tone up the stomach and intestines and relieve the most chronic constipation. One should take at least 350grms of this fruit to achieve the desired results. When fresh grapes are not available, raisins, soaked in water, can be used. Raisins should be soaked for 24 to 48 hours. This will make them swell to the original size of the grapes. They should be eaten early in the morning, along with the water in which they have been soaked.
