What Causes Severe Constipation Inspite Of Taking Lots Of Water?
I take lot of precautions in taking food. I also follow water therapy which means drinking some water before breakfast, lunch and dinner, avoid taking water during the process of eating and drinking lot of water half-an-hour after the event. I also take some fruit juice and fruits. Inspite all the precautions I am suffering from acute constipation. I generally avoid taking oily foods and chicken and meat. I am aged 77 years. I go for walking regularly. Kindly suggest as to how I can avoid the complaint of constipation. I am not worried about the sugar complaint and hyper tension. I am more worried about acute constipation which is troubling me continuously
Hi, Nothing to worry, due to age there might be having sluggish intestinal peristalsis giving rise constipation. Along with taking plenty of water take more fiber contain diet including green fresh vegetables and salads having more roughage. Go for light abdominal recti muscle exercises daily which will stimulate peristalsis. Ok and take care.
