I was told a long time ago i had an extra long colon. i eat a lot of fruits and vegetables but if i don't take mom every day i cant have a bm. lately?

Drink lots of fluids: to help make up for your extra long colon. One of the main functions of the colon is to absorb fluid, so the longer it takes for your stool to pass through the colon, the more water is reabsorbed and the more constipated you can become. Milk of Magnesia works by drawing water back into the intestines. Other conditions, like hypothyroidism can cause constipation, so see your Dr if this continues!
