A member asked:

Is it possible to be constipated but be having a bowel movement every day? i have constipated like cramps in one side of abdomen above pelvis.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bowel concerns: Yes, this is possible; it is pretty easy for a human colon to retain feces and not fully evacuate; we easily accumulate dried concretions of feces; best remedy: alter diet to higher fiber - aim for 25-30 gm per day; bran, whole grain oat meal, apple with skin; pear with skin; peach and apricot with skin; grape nuts cereal; prune, prune juice; be active; walk twice daily; drink water;
