Could be irritable bowel syndrom which can cause constipation and diarrhea; could be your'e not drinking enough water. Your body absorbs water in the bowel. If I were you, I would drink about 1/2 cup of prune juice and alot of water and see if that will help you. If you're eating fruits and veggies, try whole grains also, like oatmeal. You can also take metamucil or a stool softner once a day until this is resolved. Hope this helps.

Constipation is usually caused by the lack of water in the intestinal tract. You should probably be drinking alot more water. A healthy amount of water is 100 ounces of water daily. Not soda, juice or kool-aid. Just plain water. The fiber in fruits and veggies need this water also, to do their job. The fiber content alone, just isn't enough. Keep the digestive tract hydrated and you may find your constipation problem solved.

Not enough fiber. You may want to try a gentle stool softener too. Even with the best of diets our bodies need some help sometimes.

you may be yet think about to attend and be conscious. no longer too lengthy to attend in case your era is due on the eighth - some checks declare they'll coach a result some days before the era is due, yet they don't continuously artwork. good success
