Suggest Treatment For Constipation Problems
Hello, I ve had constipation problems everyday in my life since my emergency appendix removal surgery when I was 10. Now 6 years later I still have it and I ve asked my doctors what can I do to get rid of it and they ve told me to eat more healthy, exercise and not to eat certain foods. I do now eat healthy and do not eat foods that they ve told me to stay away from, and make sure to run everyday but I still have constipation. Does the surgery I had have something to do with my constipation and what can I do to get rid of it for good?
