10 Steps to Resolve Constipation
Written on Wednesday, October 5th, 2011
Did you know you should ideally have two to three complete and satisfying bowel movements a day, one for each main meal, and that they should be inoffensive in odour? So if you aren’t visiting the toilet regularly, straining or simply leaving a nasty whiff behind and offending your house mates, friends or family, then something’s not right.

Parasites can cause health problems such as bloating, cramps, diarrhea, allergies, anal itching, anemia, low immune system, mucus or blood in stools and even affect your mood with anxiety or depression. Picking them up is easier than you think: restaurants with poor hygiene, holidays abroad with impure water, pets and animals. Parasites do not just come in form of minute insects but also microscopic bacteria. A common antibiotic used is Ciprodex (available even with a ciprodex coupon) to treat mild symptoms.
