See below: Just because you have passed a bowel movement doesn't mean that you don't have retained feces in your intestines. Hydrate well with water - at least 8 8 ounces glasses of water per day. Try to get in 5 servings of vegetables and 4 of fruit per day. Eat foods that are high in fiber. Stay physically active. You may need to consider use of an over - the - counter laxative.
