Do you have a hard time going number 2? According to the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, constipation is one of the most common digestive problems and affects up to 13% of people in the US. It is defined as having hard, dry bowel movements or only going fewer than three times a week. I know I am typically constipated according to this definition as I don't go every day. However, when I do go it is a easy and all is fairly normal, but that was not always the case. This is in part due to my constitution and partly because of some of the factors listed below.
Common factors that contribute to increased constipation:
  • A diet low in fibres and/or reduced liquid intake
  • Having a sedentary lifestyle, sitting most of the day with not much physical activity
  • Women, and especially pregnant women, are more prone
  • Being elderly and/or a decreasing vitality
  • Taking calcium/iron supplements and general overuse of medications
  • Medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus, spinal cord lesions, hypothyroidism and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
  • Improper position of bowel sphincters when seated on the toilet
