All of a sudden-Im constipated

[Anonymous]

I have NEVER in my life been constipated. In fact, I've always had the opposite problem. The past few days I have been extremely constipated. I have no idea how or why. does this indicate an underlying health issue?

Have you been stuck in the house with all of the snow? This threw off my system for a few days, combined with eating less healthily and being more of a slug than when we are not house bound.

The first and only time in my life I can recall being really constipated was before I knew I was pregnant. Any chance you are OP?

I had the experience of 18:26 - finally we for a run (on a treadmill) and that helped.

Do you have any other symptoms? Not to be scary, but changes in bowel function can be a symptom of ovarian cancer.

When you first get up in the morning drink a glass of hot water with a squeeze of lemon juice in it. It will help to get everything moving before you eat anything that day.

It is probably just a fluke thing, eating too much combined with snowed in. I also had the opposite problem usually, but once I got pregnant I got constipsted. I had to do the hot water think and prune juice every morning, you can also try got prune juice as a last resort, it will work every time
