| 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 read my book, Healing Digestive Illness and follow my step by step Intestinal Regeneration Program! |
