Getting Rid of the Back Up

Constipation affects all of us from time-to-time – illness, travel, stress – anything that disrupts our normal routine can cause a bout of constipation. But if you routinely do not have at least two full bowels movements daily or if you have to strain/push to have a bowel movement, you may be suffering from some degree of chronic constipation.

Luckily, there are many things that you can do to stimulate the bowel (without taking laxatives, which can be habit forming) and get things moving again.
