Increasing your water, fruit and veggie intake is a great first step, Zoe. Enema devices are probably better to consider if the former don’t give you the desired results, at which time you probably should consult your doctor.

Admittedly, I haven’t been able to eat enough fruits and vegetables recently and this habit shows in my stool. It might be a good idea to consult a specialist and see if I should start looking for Enema devices for sale.

I’m with you on the stress-induced problems. Nine times out of ten, cherchez la stress!

Okay Chris, I’m going to hold your feet to the fire re: exercise! Even small spurts of activity every day will make a big difference.

Good for you! Glad to hear that it’s not a problem, and you’re right to target water when it is a problem.

Constipation is not an issue for me as I am fairly regular for the most part. I drink lots of water and eat raw oats …. that combined with exercise I suppose are of great help to me. However, there are times when I am irregular so I usually step up on the water intake for sure.

Thanks for sharing. It will certainly keep me on my toes.

LOL. I struggle GREATLY with constipation, so this was super helpful and insightful for me! I have tried all these things, but know that exercise is a necessity I am not regular with these days. I just took my Magnesium this morning…

Thank you for this!

My nutritionist friend uses it and it’s funny how type 3 and type 4 look so happy compared to the others! I don’t often have problems, but when I do, I can usually attribute it to stress. Luckily it’s rare and I think all of us struggle with having an occasional 1, 2, 5, or 6 but it should never be the norm!
