A member asked:
I need help! how do i know if i have chronic constipation or digestion issues like lack of enzymes or food intolerance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Constipation: To start, try increasing water intake and the fiber in your diet. This means eating more fruit and whole grain instead of white breads/ pastas, and cutting out fast food and junk food. If this works, it is probably constipation. If this doesn't work, speak to your doctor about whether you need further testing.
