Appetite not good b/c of a bad cold, eating less than i usually do . can this cause bm's to be delayed/constipated/off schedule?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Your dietary habits will certainly have an effect on your bowel habits. Further, if you have a cold and are experiencing fevers, you may be dehydrated which likewise can affect your bowel habits in the short term.
