Is Very Less And Incomplete Bowel Movement After Taking Wheat Bran Normal?

------------------------------------------------------------------
Should I discontinue the Wheat XXXXXXX I take daily. This happens each day about 4:00 a.m. Drink more water.
------------------------------------------------------------------
It could be due to bowel peristalsis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The cramps could be due to peristaltic movement of the bowel. Once the peristaltic wave is over, pain subsides. At the age of 74, the movement of the bowel will also be sluggish.
* Please take plenty of liquids.
* Avoid pain killers which cause constipation.
If you are getting this pain only after eating wheat bran, you can stop that.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
I wish you good health.
