A member asked:

Is there a reason i tend to get nauseous, shaky & my fingers feel cold when i need to have a bowel movement during a bout of constipation?

Your reaction may be to the anticipated pain from passing hard stool. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
