Intestinal problems may indicate allergies or other diet related problems. It is vital to make any changes slowly and not stop or start diets or meds suddenly. Taking a daily probiotic and incrementally increasing fiber and water intake can regulate your intestines, but it needs to be slow. Make sure you are eating regularly, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and decrease fatty or fried foods.
