What Causes Recurring Constipation And Dark Yellow Urine?
Why am I always constipated. I've been having that problem all my life. I try to drink water and eat more fiber but sometimes it doesn't help. My urine is usually a dark yellow or bright yellow. What does bright yellow mean. How do I help myself go to the bathroom easier? I don't want to have to keep using suppositories and pericolace tablets.
