When constipation only occurs occasionally we tend to wait for it to go away by itself, thinking what harm can it do? In fact there are several reasons to treat constipation:
Transit time – Although this varies from person to person, food can pass through our bodies in as little as 24-36 hours, however on average it is approximately 50-60 hours. When you are constipated it can be even longer, leading to a build –up of waste in the bowel – which can maek you feel very uncomfortable.
Build-up of waste – the build up of food waste gets heavier and heavier day after day – making you feel uncomfortable, bloated and lethargic.
Don’t just take our world for it here’s what you said:
• 5% of people mentioned discomfort, fatigue and skin complaints as symptoms they associated with constipation
• one in four women mentioned irritability as a symptom of constipation
• 51% admit to feeling less attractive, which impacts on their social lives; 38% said that they have either cancelled or left early from a social engagement
• 68% said that having constipation affects their sex life, either because it is too painful or they do not feel attractive
