Even the most natural things need a little help sometimes
If you’re experiencing occasional constipation, you’re not alone! It is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders, affecting up to 31% of the general adult population and up to 44.5% of older adults. While lifestyle factors like diet, hydration, and exercise can support regular bowel movements, sometimes even the most natural routines need a little help to keep things moving smoothly. Chronic constipation, a more persistent form of this condition, can be particularly frustrating and may lead to uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, straining, and a sense of incomplete evacuation.
