Constipation
Constipation is one of the most popular problems that affect the digestive system in the United States, as it affects about 2.5 million people [4]. Constipation is characterized by having a dry and hard bowel movement. It may also in some cases be the inability to go to the toilet for more than 3 times in a week. In most cases, constipation is caused by a poor diet, especially one lacking in enough dietary fiber and water. Similarly, one of the causes of diverticulosis is a diet lacking in fiber.
