Being constipated isn’t something that many people talk about, but many people suffer from constipation on a regular basis.  There are several safe and natural cures for constipation.

Water plays a big part in helping relieve constipation.  Water helps flush out your body and keeps everything moving thru your system smoothly.

This inflammation of the bladder due to an infection from a bacteria or virus affects 10 to 20 percent of women.  Of this 20 percent, 80 percent have recurrent infections.  If Cystitis is not treated, it can spread up to the kidneys, called an ascending UTI.

A lot of people have gas and it’s not a very fun thing to have, especially if it’s due to certain foods that you eat.  You know you shouldn’t eat certain foods, but you love them and eat them anyway knowing you will have the dreaded gas afterwards.  So, what do you do?

The signs are obvious.  The baby cries, pulls his knees up to his abdomen, and appears to be in great pain. He may become gassy, then become quiet, then begin crying again.  No matter how many times you swaddle, feed, change or sooth him, it doesn’t stop the painful crying that lasts for hours on end.  Colic tends to be most severe at four to six weeks of age and gradually subsides by three to four months.

Stomach aches are common around the holiday season.  We indulge ourselves and eat too much turkey on Thanksgiving and eat too much ham on Christmas day.  Stomach aches can also be caused by other things including indigestion, excessive gas, ulcers, kidney stones, urinary tract infections and hernias. 

Heartburn is no fun.  Some of us love spicy food, but the after effects of heartburn have us turning these foods away.  If we indulge in these foods, we know the burning sensation or pain in the stomach that comes afterwards sometimes for hours.  Heartburn is worse if you lie down after a meal and usually belching, nausea, bitter taste in mouth and vomiting happen as well. 

The number one cause of constipation is eating a bad diet and not getting enough exercise.  When you eat the wrong foods that are high in cheese or meat in large quantities, you tend to block your bowels.  This can be painful as well, when you can’t relieve yourself. 

There is probably nothing worse than bad breath.  Sometimes you are aware that you have a problem, due to a sore tooth or the fact that you just ate a sandwich stuffed with onions.  And, other times you may not be aware that you have bad breath.
