Flaccid Bowel Having More Flaccid. Decreased Bowel Movements. Drinking Lemon Water. Cure?
Question: Hi,
Well my long time flaccid bowel had gotten noticeably much more flaccid and bowel movements have decreased to nearly none. This morning it took using a massager, drinking hot lemon water, 1 hot tea, knee bends, and finally after three hours voila! I hadn't gone in a whole week. Usually, my bowels move normally every three/four days. (I still think that might be a bit long)
