Chronic Constipation should not be taken lightly

I happen to read the discussion on a 24 year old with 6 week constipation!! Did you know it may enlarge the colon and cause tissue death and loss of colon function. It is Colitis of which there a numerous kinds, can be life threatening as its can cause ulcers, and perforation of the colon. I have had this condition for many years colitis which is a chronic decease that can not be cured. MUST be medically treated, and with correct meds to avoid more serious damage of which one is colon cancer. Yes diets and exercise helps with the symptoms, but it can not eradicate the condition. Don't assume that it is lack of excercise and diets that cause it, much more to it. I had the same with everyone and sundry giving their 10 cents worth when I mentioned my battle with chronic Constipation, until I received medical professional advise. Do your self a favor and research colitis, IBS, and IBD before you destroy your colon.
