Worsening constipation! ! What should I do?

Hi I am a Hashimoto's Thyroiditis sufferer and I am on a course of levothyroxine. My diet has improved a lot and I've been drinking more water, however my constipation has become worse. I've been advised to see my doctor if the constipation has gotten worse despite me eating better, drinking more water and taking my medication as instructed but this is all happening when I'm out of the city. I'm currently on holiday. I don't know what to do as I'm meant to be enjoying myself, not worrying about these issues with my stomach.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

Try taking magnesium citrate in the morning.  Also take Miralax powder in water.
