Stress and Constipation article

[Peach3000]

Hi,

I am writing an article on the link between stress and constipation. I would love it if you can tell me your experiences with stress related constipation.

Thank you,

Stress has got nothing to do with it. It's all due to religion.

Surely you have heard of the Immaculate Constipation!

Some years ago i suffered from a 'Stuck down bowel' A condition i knew nothing of until i became very ill. It resulted in major surgery and nearly losing my bowel but thanks to a good surgeon. Since then, i have never been right and the worst part is the pain.
Over the years, i have found that certain foods trigger off this pain, i.e. strawberrie's or Indian curry's and i can only eat them in small quantitie's.
I know for fact that the times when i am most stressed, are the times that i suffer most. I am prescribed anti-spasmodic pills which are very good but stress is certainly a major factor in bringing on an attack.

The only time I was constipated was when I was pregnant 4 times. Yup, sitting on the loo to poop something the size of a pea. Ouch!

The actual cause of stress is constipation according to Dr. Nigel B. Milkovich. People that are Regular have been shown to be free of stress Some people that promote Stress Reduction programs are the worst sufferers of constipation.

Every morning at 7am I'm relieved...of course after I have my smoke.

I think it is impossible to be completely stress free - it can drive you crazy and you can die of boredom

Thank you very much Oscar, this was very helpful

I think you are all full of crap...

There isn't much that won't do it to you... but an instant cure is a good scare, IMO...

That and a cup of strong coffee always do the "trick"
