Constipation Constipation is one of the most common digestive problems in the world. It’s defined as having hard, dry bowel movements, or going fewer than three times a week. The colon’s main job is to absorb water from residual food as it’s passing through your digestive system then creating stool (waste). The colon’s muscles eventually propel the waste out through the rectum that is to be eliminated. If stool remains in the colon too long, it becomes hard and difficult to pass. Poor diet frequently causes constipation. Dietary fiber and adequate water intake are very much necessary to help keep stools soft. Fiber-rich foods are generally made from plants. Fiber comes in both soluble and insoluble forms. The soluble fiber can dissolve in water and creates a soft, gel-like material as it passes through the digestive system, whereas Insoluble fiber retains most of its structure as it goes through the digestive system. Both forms of fiber join with stool, increasing its weight and size while also softening it. This makes it easier to pass through the rectum.
Stress, changes in routine, and conditions that slow muscle contractions of the colon or delay your urge to go may also lead to constipation. Very common causes of constipation include:
- low-fiber diet, particularly diets high in meat, milk, or cheese
- dehydration
- lack of exercise
- delaying the impulse to have a bowel movement
- travel or other changes in routine
- certain medications, such as high calcium antacids and pain medications
- pregnancy
