Constipation problem?!


Question: Constipation problem!?
I have a terrible problem with constipation!. I average about 3 bowel movements per week!.

And when I do have a bowel movement my stool is allways very hard, shaped like different sized pebbles or rocks, and never larger then
1and 1/4" { 5/4 inch}!.

I have tried laxatives & fiber products but nothing helps!. It has been more then 5 years since I have had a normal bowel movement!.

I greatly appreciate any ones help!. If you know some one with my symptoms and there is a diagnosis for it, please tell me what I have!.

Thank You !!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The problem isn't that you have 3 bowel movements a week!. Because that's okay, everybody's body is different and we all don't go everyday!. The problem is that when you DO have a bowel movement, it's not much and it's hard!.

Have you tried exercising and drinking a lot of water!? That may sound like a generic answer but ive read EVERYWHERE that it almost cures this problem!. And have you tried stool softeners so your stools aren't hard!?

Also, look up "Plumsmart", it might work for you!

Whatever you do, do NOT get into the habit of taking laxatives, they do NOT help or cure the problem!. All they do is weaken your intestines and make you unable to go to the bathroom without them!. And it gets to a point where even laxatives don't work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i have tried everything also due to pain pill induced constipation

believe me !.!. Prune Juice works the best !.!.!. but you'd better have quick access to the toilet at all times !.!.!. the only generic prune juice that works for me is Safeway brand though

and i swear i have tried every laxative known to man !.!. docusate, senna, stool softners, miralax, exlax, etc, etc

actually the only option i have not yet tried is "aloe juice"Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, i stay regular but have a high fiber diet!. i would recommend eating as many (substituting) uncooked, unprocessed meals that you can!. For example, a 46oz jar of natural or organic apple sauce goes down smooth and may soften your stools!. but you should definitely be in the bathroom afterwards!. hope that helped > or <Www@Answer-Health@Com

stool becomes hard because the liquid in it is absorbed by the large intestine!. Either you are drinking enough water/fluid or the stool is hanging out in the bowel too long, cause more absorption of fluids!. Try eating a balanced diet!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go buy some of that Yoplait digestive health yogurt!.!.!.I swear its like a miracle cure!. Also make sure when upping your fiber to drink plenty of water or it can backfire on ya!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
