ReplyDeleteyou asked about fasted method to relieve constipation. ?
ReplyDeleteso yours answer is Enema. Enema is a procedure in which a liquid is introduced in to rectum which dilates the rectum walls. it stimulates a strong peristalsis, which results in the evacuation of colon and rectum. but this process is really painful and there are chances of bleeding. it is done in extreme cases when all other therapies fails. moreover, laxative and stool softners are another safer choice. but these have their own concerns. the most important and safest mathod is dietary modification and drinking plenty of water.
Thumbs up with this information! Am gonna go and print this thing. yeah, the best thing to avoid unhealthy living is to eat vegetables, drink a lot of water and do exercise. I'm just asking, I've tried using lexatives before in a short term, but what will happen if i pro long the use?
ReplyDeletescary, but thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteI found that a whole foods diet and drinking plenty of water works great. Don't eat too much dairy and eat some fermented foods everyday. I try not to even touch refined carbohydrates. I don't excercise a whole lot but even a short walk helps.
ReplyDeleteYou can also try this. Mix 2 tablespoons of pure aloe vera gel into a glass of apple juice or cranberry juice. Drink this once a day either in the morning or before going to bed.
