Ans: You first must try drinking water and exercise. You must keep the body active. If this fails you can try the Otc. Stool softners. Also do not take any street drugs. Now if you try all this and still have trouble time to see your doctor and have further evaluation including a colonoscopy

Can be a lot: of reasons for bowel symptoms. Certainly increasing the amount of fiber in the diet maintaining hydration helps. Green color is not significant. If some cramping relieved by defecation, irritable bowel is usually the reason. http://www.nerdpocalypse.net/irritable%20bowel.html
