Question: What are some common causes of stomach constipation? I am trying to figure out if I can do something to alleviate my constipation. Thank you very much.

Answer: There are many common causes to stomach constipation and cramping. These can include anything from change in eating habits to stress. Other common causes of constipation include:

• not enough dietary fiber
• decrease in physical activity
• new prescription medication
• disease
• blockage of the colon

If your constipation lasts more than a week you should see your physician to rule out an underlying medical condition.

Another great way to stay regular is to try an herbal supplement that will cleanse the colon and promote regularity. These products are readily available both online and in many health food stores.

The main ingredient in most of these products is an herb called phylum husk as well as some other proprietary organic compounds. this herb is not digestible and acts as a sort of broom through the colon sweeping debris out from in front of it as it passes through the digestive tract.

We hope that your symptoms of stomach constipation and abdominal pain will be relieved by following the above advice. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask.
