Try to eat healthy do mild exersise .What do you think ? When should I get concerned. about this.
Brief Answer:
It is due to poor peristaltic movement.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query and understand your concerns. There is a movement of the gastrointestinal tract that propels the food forward as it gets digested, absorbed, and finally expelled as feces. In your case, this movement has become sluggish, thus creating your problems. You need to take a lot of dietary fibers. Mere fiber capsules are not enough. It is good that you take peaches and a lot of water as well. It is not about getting concerned. It is just that you need to remain in the right lifestyle.
You need to back it up with adequate exercise on regular basis. You can take laxatives but not purgatives.
Feel free to revert back in case of further queries.
