How do you get constipated?

Answer 1

Constipation occurs when the colon absorbs too much water or if the colon's muscle contractions are slow or sluggish, causing the stool to move through the colon too slowly. As a result, stools can become hard and dry. Common causes of constipation are * not enough fiber in the diet * lack of physical activity (especially in the elderly) * medications * milk * irritable bowel syndrome * changes in life or routine such as pregnancy, aging, and travel * abuse of laxatives * ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement * dehydration * specific diseases or conditions, such as stroke (most common) * problems with the colon and rectum * problems with intestinal function (chronic idiopathic constipation)
because, if you dont drink then your kids wont get dropped off to the pool smoothly.
You can get constipation from a variety of factors including: due to not eating good, healthy food or not getting enough exercise.

You might also get it when you hold yourself from going to the bathroom.

You might also not drink enough water, your body needs a lot of water, and if you drink too much soda, that will end up as constipation.

You need to eat a lot of vegetables and fruits for fiber, which helps. You also can eat yogurt and broccoli is on of the vegetables that help the most.
Not eating enough whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Taking too many pain killers or amphetamines. Eating too much sugar. Coffee is sometimes a good natural remedy. Try natural fiber pills too. Miralax or Epson Salt works if you really need to go. If that don't work Phillips Milk of Magnesia or a rectal suppository may be necessary. The next alternative is giving yourself an enema (flooding the colon with a saline solution). Do not try multiple methods at once. Ask your doctor about this.
