Constipation: Constipation is not a normal condition and it can cause problems later in life if not controlled. Eating a diet high in fiber, and eating fruits and vegetables can make your stools softer. By constantly distending the rectum with hard stool you can develop hemorrhoids, and possible fecal staining if not controlled. Try an over the counter laxative such as Miralax (polyethylene glycol) if diet changes don't work.
