Constipation is a symptom not a disease.  The most common are poor diet, lack of exercise, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), pregnancy, laxative abuse, travel, hormonal disturbances, specific diseases.

If you have less than 3 bowel movements per week, you are constipated.

Ways to relieve constipation at home:

• Drink more water
• Exercise more
• Eat fiber rich food
• Drink coffee, caffeinated – coffee stimulated the muscles of your digestive system.  Effective for some people.
• Probiotic food
• Eat prunes.
• Try avoiding diary to see if you do not have a diary intolerance.  Adults with a diary tolerance experience constipation.
