Natural Treatment for
Constipation
One in 4 million people in the United States suffers from constipation.
And most of those people don’t realize that laxatives aren’t the only solution to your “plumbing problem.”
There is a common misconception that laxatives are the best fix when the plumbing “down there” isn’t working properly, but the truth is that laxatives do more harm than good.
They damage bowel walls, which cause them to stop working as they should. So your short term fix can become a long term problem.
At HeathierU, we don’t believe in band-aid solutions, it is our mission to help you alleviate your constipation naturally.
Symptoms of Constipation
A lack of or painful bowel movements isn’t the only indication that you may be constipated.
There are other symptoms to watch out for:
- Abdominal pain
- Feelings of weakness
- Loss of appetite
- Vomiting
Each digestive symptom has a unique cause.
Abdominal pain occurs because of an irritated digestive system while a loss of appetite comes from lingering stools in the digestive tract.
It contributes to a feeling of “fullness,” so sufferers frequently eat less or skip meals altogether, thus leading to weakness because of nutritional deficiencies.
Vomiting, although a less common symptom, should not be ignored.
Causes of Constipation
Severe, acute constipation doesn’t happen overnight but is an issue that needs to be resolved in order to avoid long-term problems.
Diet is often the culprit because the digestive system isn’t getting what it needs to function properly.
These are the most common causes:
- Dairy products
- Dehydration
- Frequent stress or depression
- Hypothyroidism
- Low fiber diet
- Neglecting the urge to use the bathroom
- Over-the-counter painkillers
- Overuse of laxatives
- Some prescription medications
