Constipation: Chronic constipation can be associated with such diseases as Diabetes, Hypothyroidism, or obstruction due to tumor or inflammation. If this is the first time you have been constipated it most likely is a result of not drinking enough fluids. You can take milk of magnesia, (magnesium hydroxide) and or metamucil to increase the fiber in your system. If it persists see your doctor.
