Millions of women struggle with digestive issues and at a higher rate than men. Few doctor visits involve discussing them, let alone solving them, and women suffer in silence. Constipation is not a fun, sexy or an exciting topic to discuss, but a necessary conversation to have when it comes to overall health. According to the Canadian Society of Intestinal Research, chronic constipation affects 15-30% of Canadians.[1] Healthy bowel movements are essential to overall health.
There are many things that can lead to constipation:
Not sure if you’re constipated? Ask yourself these questions: How often do you have a bowel movement? Do you have hard, dry, or lumpy stools? Do you have stools that are difficult or painful to pass? Do you feel like you still need to go after you’ve had a bowel movement? These can all be signs of constipation.[2]
