Are your bowel movements regular? Bowel movement frequency varies greatly from person to person, but, as a general rule, you should not experience pain or cramps while pooping. Normal bowel movements are soft, not hard or liquid.
If your bowel movements seem hard to pass, talk to your doctor. You could have a health condition like ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel syndrome (IBS), or Crohn’s disease. So, regular and normal bowel movements are crucial for good overall health.
However, before reaching for the medicine cabinet, you may want to check your fridge and pantry first. There are plenty of foods that can help you poop more often and—more importantly—more comfortably. Here are 18 foods that act as natural laxatives!
