Get Rid of Constipation

I have been a sufferer of constipation since I was a boy. I am now 65 years old and have Parkinson for 15 years. As I am aware, most patients of Parkinson usually have constipation and I am not an exception.

My constipation symptoms has been deteriorating as my age grows and my stool has grown drier, harder and thicker and more and more difficult to pass out. Everyday is a struggle.

I was determined to rid of this unrelenting problem and live a happy life. Therefore I embarked on a game changing plan.

1. Exercise

   I understand that exercise is the source of improving our overall well being, and constipation is a sickness of the bowel; a sickness of the digestive system. To find an exercise that targets the bowel is crucial. This exercise must be simple, practical, and readily available to everyone and to me I have settled on walking. Lately, I have picked up walking 45 mins. to 60 mins each day as the exercise to fight the sickness, and the result has been promising. At the end of my walk each day, the urge of pooing would come back, which urge I have lost long time ago.

2. Avoid constipating food

   Many food are not conducive to my health and may cause constipation. Make sure I don’t consume any such food, and I can always Google to find out which food I should take and which not.

3. The crucial food

   One crucial food one must take to rid constipation is food containing high fibre. To me, this is the most important step to take among all others. Every morning for breakfast I will take a good portion of all bran high fibre cereal with almond milk. And each meal I take during the day, I will follow by one generous portion of all bran high fibre cereal with almond milk. This ensures that all food I intake the whole day are all fibrous. I do not use dairy milk in the cereal nor adding sugar as both may cause constipation.

4. Posture in pooing

   The importance of posture in pooing is to effectively pass out the poo. When sitting on the toilet, use a small stool about 8 inches high to rest my soles on. Then grab my knees with both hands, then inhale while pressing my body down on my thigh and slowly pulling the knees towards me. This sequence may need to be repeated. This will reduce the space in my abdomen squeezing the poo out. Alternatively I grab my legs near my ankles.

5. Keep Hydrated

   Keep my bowel hydrated to eliminate dry poo by drinking not less than 6 glasses of warm water a day.

After following my game plan as detailed above, I am now at last free of constipation and I am confident that if you follow it, you would similarly rid of constipation soon. Don’t forget you have to get rid of your current plug first before this new approach effectively sets in. So be patient.
