Referring to constipation which is less detrimental?!
Question: Referring to constipation which is less detrimental.?
The lesser of all applications.. would it be laxatives, fiber drinks/pills, glycerin suppositories or enema.? I am starting to have very irregular BM's and I don't want to become dependent. Health Question & Answer
Answers:
laxatives.? - can cause lazy bowel
fiber drinks/pills.? - couldn't hurt
glycerin suppositories.? - a quick fix; but, chemical stimulant - don't use long term
enema.? large volume with water and a little salt does not cause bowel to get lazy (sorry sideline commentators) it is also a quick fix; but, has been know to cause erotic response in some. A fleet is a chemical and can lead to complications if used too often
Remember constipation is NOT a disease it is a symptom of other things. If you want to avoid constipation you need to:
1. Increase fiber (whole grain cereals and breads, fruits and vegetables)
2. Increase water intake
3. Increase active exercise (running, walking or bike riding)
Good luck.Health Question & Answer
