Constipation form of irritable bowel syndrome

Everyone who suffers from irritable bowel syndrome knows how annoying it can be. It is not entirely known, what is the source of this disease and, consequently, effective forms of complete cure are not known.


However, this does not mean that the person diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome is left alone. Unless this syndrome can actually be cured, appropriate measures can be taken to minimise unpleasant ailments.

What form of irritable bowel syndrome?

First of all, it is necessary to determine whether we are dealing with constipation or diarrhoea of irritable bowel syndrome. How we deal with the problems depends on this very much.

Causes of constipation

It is not difficult to guess that the main cause of constipation is too little hydration of the body. We all seem to be aware that our body consists mainly of water. However, we forget this every day when we drink too few liquids. As a result, our body must draw water from every source available to it, i. e. (in this case) from digested digestive masses in the intestines. It sounds disgusting? And it also makes us start to suffer from constipation.

How to deal with constipation in the form of irritable bowel syndrome?

For this reason, the first step in dealing with constipation form of irritable bowel syndrome is to increase the amount of drunk liquids (preferably mineral water). Only when the body is sufficiently hydrated will they have a chance of disappearing.

Of course, in order to help the digestive system and thus eliminate annoying constipation - the amount of dietary fiber needs to be increased. And I will remind you once again - fiber literally swells in our digestive tract, absorbing water. If there is not enough fluid, fiber will not be able to support the intestinal function. So sooner or later everything always boils down to an appropriate level of hydration of the body.
