This very good educative. All what she said is very true. Last month, I had constipation and later went to clinic and I was diagnosed with colitis. The symptoms of constipation she mentioned were accurate and the remedy is excellent. Antibiotic really helps. She's very intelligent. Keep up your good works❤❤❤

If you are constipated. First, drink 1-2 glasses of hot water (for pregnant women, just warm water). Then, with your fingers, grasp the anal area between your buttocks while standing, and press several times as if you are pressing buttons on a remote. Press firmly, then wait for 10-15 minutes.
When you feel churning in your stomach, it means everything is ok, it means water has entered the exit hole. Then, drink 1 glass again, but this time go to the toilet. Again, standing, repeat the same thing with your fingers in the anal area. Press until you feel a strong urge to defecate. When you feel a strong urge, immediately sit on the toilet. (And quit smoking and drinking alcohol.)
