Hard Stools

Hard stools can be a painful and bothersome part of your daily routine. The causes of difficult bowel movements can include simple lifestyle choices such as a lack of exercise, permitting stress to dominate your day, digestive system impairment from poor diet, or even just not drinking enough water! Learn about methods for preventing hard stools such as adopting a high fiber diet, drinking more purified water, or trying an organic colon cleansing supplement.

Intestinal Pseudo-Obstruction

Intestinal pseudo-obstruction (false blockage) is a condition that causes symptoms like those of a bowel obstruction (blockage). But when the intestines are examined, no obstruction is found. A problem in how the muscles and nerves in the intestines work causes the symptoms. Pseudo-obstruction symptoms include cramps, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, bloating, fewer bowel movements than usual, and loose stools. Over time, pseudo-obstruction can cause bacterial infections, malnutrition, and muscle problems in other parts of the body. Some people also have bladder problems.
