What is Constipation?

According to the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NDDIC) which is part of
the National Institute of Health (NIH) “
constipation is defined as having a bowel movement fewer
than three times a week.”
I disagree. Like all other digestive disorders, constipation can be mild
to moderate, severe to extreme in its manifestation in your body.  Having a bowel movement
fewer than three times a week is severe to extreme constipation and puts you at risk for all kinds
of other health problems related to and caused by your ongoing condition of unresolved fecal
toxicity; which is exactly what constipation is. Our bodies are designed to eliminate fecal waste on
a regular, continual and ongoing basis. Ideally? For every significant meal we consume, there
should be a bowel movement to represent that meal. Therefore, if you consume three meals per
day, you should have three bowel movements, usually within an hour of the meal itself. At the
very least, you should produce at least one significant (sizable, voluminous) bowel movement
every twenty-four hours. This bowel movement should come out easily, within a minute or two,
there should be no straining, it should come out in one long continuous soft but formed mass
(the size and shape and texture of a medium to dark brown banana) and when you are done,
you should feel empty and complete. Not many people have this experience!  But you will if you

Healing Digestive Illness and follow my step by step Intestinal Regeneration

Those reporting constipation most often are women
increasing numbers of calls and emails from
concerned parents about their children and
teen-agers with chronic constipation. Pregnant women
may have constipation, as a result of the expanding
uterus pressing against the colon; and it is a common
problem following childbirth or surgery. Self-treatment
of constipation with over-the-counter (OTC) laxatives
is by far the most common remedy attempted. Around
$725 million is spent on laxative products each year in
America alone.

Constipation is a big problem, perhaps the most
common digestive disorder.  Like all other digestive
disorders it is completely correctable and easily
prevented from future occurrences. If and only if you
eliminate the root causes and if and only if you
become more proactive (vigilant-mindful) in your own
self-care. My book,
Healing Digestive Illness will teach
you how to do this. If you want specific step by step
