A member asked:
Is it normal as soon as you don't drink enough water for a day or two to get constipated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of yes. It is not normal to not drink water for a day or two. 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
