A member asked:
Could exercising too much (2 hour work outs) cause constipation issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Although exercising in general can prevent constipation, provided you compensate for the extra fluid losses you have when exercising. I use 20 oz per hour of exercising of extra fluid, with a minimal base line fluid of 80-100 oz caffeine free/alcohol free fluid daily.
