There are a number of natural constipation relief treatments that will provide relief from your symptoms and start to treat the problems in your stomach, colon and bowel that are causing your constipation.

Constipation itself can be unfortunately or often very painful but it can also cause further health problems if it is not dealt with sufficiently. Constipation is a sign of problems with the colon or digestive system and may mean nutrients are not being absorbed efficiently from food.

Natural constipation relief advice

Try to ensure your diet contains adequate amounts of both soluble and insoluble fibre by eating plenty of wholemeal grains, fresh fruits and vegetables. If you feel you can’t get the recommended level of fibre in your diet consider taking a fibre supplement.

Try to drink plenty of good, clean water during the day - be careful of coffee, tea or sugary soft drinks.
