How to get rid of constipation quickly and naturally
Share
Here are the symptoms of constipation:
- Bloating or feeling full.
- Cramps or pain in the belly or stomach.
- Gas (flatulence) burps.
- Loss of appetite.
- No regular bowel movements for 2 days or more.
- Intense and prolonged efforts to evacuate stools.
- Small, hard stools that are difficult to pass.
The doctors do not always recommend medical treatment to treat constipation, especially if it has just started. However, a doctor may prescribe a laxative that will allow you to pass stools quickly, if necessary. For it to be effective, you can include more fibre in your dally diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains).
What are the causes of occasional constipation In adults:
Dehydration is one of the main causes of constipation. For food waste to move through your digestive system, you need to have plenty of water. Without it, stools can become hard, lumpy and difficult to pass.
Occasional constipation is generally due to:
- a change in daily habits: travel, change in diet, stress, immobilization, bed rest, hospitalization, etc.;
- a particular life situation such as the last months of pregnancy; temporarily taking medication (pain medication for example);
- or "holding back" and not responding to the need to have a bowel movement (for example, in the presence of haemorrhoids or anal fissure).
Here's how to induce bowel movements quickly if you suffer from constipation:
- Drink at least 1.5 L of water or drinks each day (favour the one rich in magnesium);
- Eat foods that promote transit (fibre);
- Avoid constipating foods (potatoes, pasta, rice, bananas, chips, etc.);
- Play sports and favour activities involving the abdominal muscles (running, swimming, gym, yoga, etc.);
- Perform a belly massage;
- Put a step stool in the toilet to elevate your legs when you shit and allow your Rectum intestine to be straight (this also prevents haemorrhoids);
-
Take a laxative, it is the only quick treatment to relieve constipation.
