A member asked:

What to do if i eat a high fibre diet with lots of water but im still constipated. what causes this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How often do you go.: The true 'definition' of constipation is once week. Are your stools 'normal' or hard. Some people do not have to 'go' every day. I would like my patients to have a bm at least every 4 days. You also need to really record daily how much fiber and water you consume in a day. Then discuss that with your physician. Adults should strive for at least 30 gram of fiber daily and 64 ounces of water.
