More than 4 million Americans have frequent constipation and it is responsible for 2.5 million physician office visits each year; and Americans spend around 725 million dollars in OTC (over – the – counter) remedies for constipation.

The N.I.H. (National Institutes of Health) defines constipation as fewer than 3 bowel movements per week.  Constipation may result in straining, painful bowel movements, bloating, and a full bowel sensation.

It is important to remember that constipation is NOT a disease, it is a symptom and is typically not serious; however, it will affect your quality of life and those individuals with regular bowel movements FEEL BETTER!!!!

Some common causes of constipation include:

1. Not enough fiber in the diet
2. Lack of physical activity (especially in the elderly)
3. Medications; specific diseases or conditions, such as stroke (most common)
4. Milk or other dairy
5. irritable bowel syndrome
6. Changes in life or routine such as pregnancy, aging, and travel
7. Abuse of laxatives
8. Ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement
9. Dehydration
10. Problems with the colon and rectum; problems with intestinal function (chronic idiopathic constipation)
