A member asked:
Any ideas of why this chronic constipation happens?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor diet and fluids: Not enough fiber and inadequate fluids. You need 20-25 grams of fiber and 80-100 ounces of alcohol free, caffeine free fluids every day, more if strenuous excercise is part of your daily routine.
