As we nearly all lead increasingly more busy and hectic lifestyles it’s important to find the time to go to the loo. Many of us rush off to work in the morning with no breakfast and are so busy all day we ignore the urge to go and may become constipated as a result.
Some people find it difficult to go when they are away from home and need to feel they have privacy and can relax. Some people may not feel they have such privacy at work, in public loos or even at home, particularly if they live with a large family and there is only one loo!
Try to allow some time either in the morning or about 30 minutes after eating to visit the loo. It’s important that you don’t rush, and leave yourself time to feel that you have emptied your bowels. This will help establish a regular bowel habit and help avoid constipation in the future.
