If you or someone you love has ever experienced bowel movement problems, you know how serious this can be and how it can affect your lifestyle. I had a close relative experience constipation on a regular basis for over 30 years. We were finally able to get him to go to a specialist to get help. Instead of prescribing medication, as most doctors seem to do, he talked to my relative about some simple lifestyle changes that he could make. By doing a few simple things, he was feeling better in just under three months. He continues to use these natural remedies and lifestyle changes and has not experienced bowel movement problems in over five years.

It must be recognized that some people that will need to take things one step further and use medication or corrective surgery for bowel movement problems. However, natural remedies can be used in many of these cases. Each year, over $700 million is spent on laxatives, making constipation a very common phenomenon. Sometimes, people are quick to jump to the laxative solution, not realizing that, while it might help alleviate the symptoms, it will not cure the underlying problem that typically deals with the need for a change in diet and lifestyle. Drinking water and eating high fiber foods are two of the best things you can do for bowel movement problems.

Keep your body hydrated with 8-10 8 ounce glasses of water everyday since dehydration is often a factor in constipation. Eat plenty of foods high in fiber such as fresh vegetables and fruits such as apples, asparagus and cabbage, bran cereals and whole grains. If you are having bowel movement problems, stop or limit the intake of cheese, milk and meats because they can be a contributing factor to constipation. Stress is also a factor that can lead to or compound bowel movement problems, so slow down and take care of your mental health as well as physical health.

If you are experience bowel movement problems such as constipation, you don't have to limit your treatment to medications and laxatives. While they might alleviate your bowel movement problems for a while, if you don't change your lifestyle, you may never completely cure your bowel movement problems. Find out how a few lifestyle changes could give you almost instant results.
