Try a combination of oatmeal and flax meal. Flax meal is ground flax seeds, which are extremely rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. You can further increase the fiber factor by stirring in some raisins. Dried fruit is very high in fiber too.

Read More »Defining constipation It’s not a popular topic of conversation, but being constipated can be uncomfortable and even painful. If you have fewer than three bowel movements in a week, then you’re considered to have constipation. If you’re used to having at least one bowel movement per day, missing just one can make you extremely uncomfortable. Occasional constipation is relatively common and can be brought on by medications, dietary changes, or even stress. Constipation is chronic when it continues for weeks or even longer. In either case, home remedies may be effective. Finding the best remedies There are many solutions for constipation, including over-the-counter and prescription drugs. They act as stimulants, lubricants, and softeners, all in an attempt to make it easier to have a bowel movement. But there are also solutions in your kitchen or medicine cabinet. Some of these homemade laxative recipes use similar methods, including increasing your fiber intake with fiber-rich foods, and lubricating your digestive system with oil. On the plus side, home remedies can be gentler on your digestive tract and easier on your budget. 2. Castor oil and juice Castor oil tastes pretty horrible, but the results are fast. You can expect relief from constipation within two to six hours of taking it, so it’s best to take it when you have some time to spend at home. Pregnant women shouldn’t take castor oil. To mask the taste, keep your castor oil in the refrigerator and add your dose to a glass of orange juice. 3. Mixed dried fruit Everyone knows prunes are good for digestive health, but eating several prunes can feel a lot like taking medicine. Consider adding pureed or baby prunes to various dishes such as oatmeal. Mix things up by adding other high-fiber dried fruits such as apricots and raisins. Dried figs are another great option. Eat them as a snack or with your breakfast. 4. Lots and lots of water Okay, it’s not really a recipe, but there’s nothing that can get things moving like simple hydration. Constipation largely happens because the colon has absorbed too much fluid from the waste in your intestines, leaving dry and hard stool behind. Staying hydrated can both prevent constipation and get things moving again.

Although a bloated stomach is a common symptom that is not harmless, it can actually be a sign of something serious. A bloated stomach that lasts longer than 2 weeks after taking medications, weight loss, pale skin, loss of appetite and yellowing of the skin can be warning signs of cancer. Bloating should not be ignored. A bloated stomach occurs when the stomach or intestine fills with air/gas, causing physical discomfort, stomach pain, nausea or poor appetite. Air or gas in the stomach is typically caused by swallowing air while eating certain types of foods, smoking and chewing gum. Some medications can cause bloating as a side effect, such as sleeping pills, sedatives and antidepressants which influence the nervous system in a way that can lessen bowel contractions, resulting in bloating. Some people have a bloated stomach for a long period of time due to gastrointestinal tract disease, including gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastrointestinal or colorectal cancer, parasitic infection, irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal dysfunction, and other system disorders such as thyroid and diabetes, which can contribute to stomach bloating that requires detailed examinations.
