Constipation is a very common disorder suffered by a major portion of the world’s population today. Even though constipation can be a symptom of a more serious disorder, it most often results from simple dietary causes, minor health conditions, pregnancy, and hormonal changes. It may be the result of: insufficient fluid intake, inadequate fiber in the diet, lack of B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and potassium; too much iron, protein, or dairy products, or from hemorrhoids, hypothyroidism, or hormones (such as during pregnancy).
Constipation can also result from: too much salt, pepper, spices, vinegar, and aluminium. If it is because of none of those reasons, it could be due to anxiety, depression, tension, lack of exercise, eating too fast, taking drugs (even over the counter drugs like cough medicine), antibiotics, and even taking too much laxatives.
