What should I do if I don’t have a bowel movement recently?

If you have not had a bowel movement for several days in a row, you may need to make adjustments to your diet, such as drinking more soup. At the same time, you should pay attention to adjustments in your lifestyle, such as drinking water on an empty stomach in the morning, eating more vegetables to supplement vitamins, and doing a certain amount of exercise on a regular basis. In addition, as a fruit, you can eat more bananas, which can lubricate the intestines to cause gastrointestinal movement, thereby achieving the effect of defecation.

In terms of diet, you should drink more soup and water. You should have a certain proportion of whole grains in your daily meals, and combine coarse and fine grains to diversify your staple food. While eating meat and eggs, you should also eat some fresh vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. You should usually keep a happy spirit and a good mood, and avoid negative mental stimulation, because negative emotions can reduce gastric acid secretion and slow down gastrointestinal motility.

Pay attention to the conditioning in life:

1. Drink water on an empty stomach in the morning to regulate your stomach and intestines to improve constipation. An effective method is to drink a certain amount of water in one breath at a fixed time every day, such as drinking 500 ml (two large cups) of water on an empty stomach every morning. In this way, the water reaches the colon before it has time to be absorbed in the intestines, which helps soften the intestinal contents and aid defecation. Long-term persistence can help you develop a good habit of getting up early to defecate.

   2. Pay attention to supplementing your diet with foods high in crude fiber, such as celery, oranges, and whole-wheat products.

2. 3. Eat on an empty stomach at night and do sit-ups for 1 to 2 minutes, or massage your abdomen clockwise along the direction of the colon to stimulate the intestines and promote intestinal peristalsis.

3. 4. Stand up and move your body every 1 to 2 hours during work or life.

4. 5. In addition to developing good bowel habits, it is also recommended to eat some foods that lubricate the intestines and help defecation, such as bananas. Although bananas can lubricate the intestines, you should not eat too much. 1 to 3 bananas a day are enough. Otherwise, it will cause or aggravate constipation.

5. 6. Carrots are rich in B vitamins, which can promote the secretion of digestive juice, maintain and promote intestinal peristalsis.
