Return To IBS Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Constipation and Natural Remedies By Rudy Silva There are two types of constipation, organic and functional. Organic constipation is a result of some physical change, obstruction, or distortion in your colon. This type of constipation needs immediate attention from a doctor. We do not cover constipation that occurs from these reasons. Functional constipation is a result of not following a proper diet, drinking the proper fluids, having good emotional health, and not having the proper lifestyle that promotes good movement of digested foods through the intestines and colon. Even though there are many conditions, symptoms and definitions describing constipation, constipation simple is, A condition where the fecal matter traveling through your colon remains too long in your colon before traveling out the rectum. Constipation is a symptom that tells you your colon is not working properly or you have some underlying gastrointestinal disease you are not aware of. Constipation is a warning your diet and lifestyle can be leading to some illness or disease in the future. It is a symptom that many people ignore or it is a symptom that many people try to eliminate by using unnatural dangerous laxatives. Laxatives are probable the worst product you can use when you have constipation. They can become habit-forming if used too long and have some nasty side effects. They have a tendency to create the problem you are trying relieve – constipation. It is important to use only natural remedies for constipation so you don’t continue to upset the natural balance and function of your colon. As you begin to apply some of these remedies, keep in mind that one particular remedy does not work for every person. You may have to make some changes to some of these remedies, such as increasing dosage, adding substances, or trying different substances. The remedies you choose to use will depend on specific herbs, foods, or nutrients you have, you can buy locally, you can buy on the Internet, nutrients you prefer, or you can afford. Experimenting is part of how you find out what is best for you. Keep in mind that all remedies you should only be used only for a short time, two to four days and not longer than 2 weeks. They should only be used for the time needed to clear your constipation. Sometimes this might just be one or two times. There are some herbal combinations you can use longer. These combinations can improve the health of your colon and get your bowels moving. If you have constipation, I can tell you now the natural balance and function of your colon has been affected. But natural remedies can bring you back into balance. About the Author: Rudy Silva has a degree in Physics and is a Natural Nutritionist.
