A member asked:
What is the cause of bowel movement disorder like constipation, and what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet: In most cases, constipation is related to our not eating enough dietary fiber and/or not drinking enough fluid. Try a high fiber cereal like raisin bran, all bran, or fiber one and eat 1-2 portions every day. Drink enough water. When you feel the urge, evacuate without delay to avoid training your bowel to wait and lose its awareness.
