He also has gas a lot it seems.<br />
For breakfast we usually have pancakes or eggs, cereal on occasion. For lunch he had one of the gerber graduate meals. For dinner we usually have a meat main dish, with a veggie side and a potato side. He drinks cup of milk with each meal. Anda juice with each snack. His snacks are usually apples or bananas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A good and regular bowel movement is something we usually take as granted. But as soon as people experience a problem with it they want to know how to get rid of constipation. The symptoms we are talking about are a bloated and upset stomach, indigestion and sometimes pain in the large intestines.</p>
<p>It is a good idea to not even let it get that far. A lifestyle and nutrition which will prevent constipation in the first place is all we need. Today we are used to spend most of the day sitting on a chair, be it at home or at work. We need to start paying attention to our colon and do things which are beneficial for healthy bowel movements.</p>
<p>Laxatives should be avoided and your diet should always be rich in fruits, fibers, grains and vegetables. If you are eating it is important that you take your time. One of the reasons for constipation is the fact that we don&#39;t chew our foods long enough. We are living in a hectic world and such eating habits are simply not beneficial to our health. Furthermore, make sure to drink plenty and frequently.</p>
<p>One major cause for digestive problems is the lack of movement and exercise. By moving we actually support and help our bowels with their work, greatly reducing the chance of constipation even to occur. A little walk around the block can already do wonders, so do frequent stretching breaks at work.</p>
<p><strong>What to do if it is too late and you want to get rid of constipation?</strong></p>
<p>The first thing you want to do is drink a lot of water. If you go to some place with foods (like your kitchen) it might actually encourage bowel movement.<br />Go to your bathroom, do some light exercises like bending and stretching. Massage your lower abdomen carefully.Those exercises and the massage might help to trigger bowel movements. If nothing seems to help you might want to revert to suppositories.</p>
<p>But be advised that the long term use of laxatives is not a good idea. You want natural relief from your constipation and laxatives should only be used as a last resort. Laxatives simply would make your colon &#8220;lazy&#8221; and you will have the same problem again in no time.</p>
<p>If you finally had success in the bathroom it is time to think over your diet since you want to prevent this from happening again.</p>
<p>Cut down on alcohol as well as on coffee and tea. Those can actually dehydrate your body. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and keep moving.</p>
<p>If you want to get rid of constipation I recommend you go to <a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.getridofconstipation.org">http://www.getridofconstipation.org</a>. They show excellent natural methods which will help you in no time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Constipation is an embarrassing health condition that entails suffering from irregular bowel movements. It is not so critical, but truly embarrassing and sometimes painful. If you are suffering from constipation problem, quite naturally you desperately would like to get <b>constipation relief</b> as well. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s market offers various options for solution for constipation relief; however, the solution might differ on individual basis. That means if a constipation remedy is suitable for adults, it may not be suitable for infants. In this article, we will try to explore different methods aiming for constipation relief.  </p>
<p><b>Solution for Infants</b>  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In most of the cases, parents become anxious and confused when they find their infants get sick. It happens typically as because infants can not tell or express where and at what point they are not feeling well. To diagnose whether your infant is suffering from constipation problem, you should notice whether their stool pattern has got changed from soft and moist to hard and dry. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In most of the cases, infants are treated with stool softener syrup for their <b>constipation relief</b>.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In that case, parents should depend on all-natural based colon cleanser or softener, so that any possible side effects could be avoided. If an infant is offered with chemical based treatment, it is likely that the infant will acquire negative side effects. However, a long term <b>constipation relief</b> certainly depends on proper and timely diet. In most of the cases, it occurs due to lack of water and fiber.  </p>
<p><b>Solution during Pregnancy</b>  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>During pregnancy, woman&#8217;s health becomes fragile and weak. Many women actually suffer from constipation problem during this time, even those who have never been suffered from this problem before in her lifetime. It mainly occurs due to changes in dietary pattern, hormonal changes and pressure of the developing baby. However, not all <b>constipation relief</b> is suitable for her health during that time. Rather, it is recommended that you should increase your daily fiber intake such as fruits, cereals, green vegetables, and wholegrain bread. You need to drink plenty of waters or you may also drink hi-fiber drink. It is not true that pregnant women should sleep all the time or sit ideally.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Truly, during pregnancy exercise is not a easy job to do, but it helps to keep you fit and healthy. Needless to say, it helps to maintain a healthy digestive system as well. Even if you manage time for walking, it will help you a lot and offer you relief from many complications including constipation and other digestive problems.  </p>
<p><b>Solution for Immediate Relief</b>  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Not always we are looking for an immediate relief; however, if the problem persists for too long time, it may require an immediate attention. In practice, chronic constipation problem may affect our social, personal, and professional life quite significantly. But, we should be careful while choosing our laxatives. Most of the chemical based laxatives have side effects to our health. So, it is always advisable that you should only depend on natural laxatives or laxatives made up of natural ingredients. However, switching over diet rich with hi-fiber content and plenty of water with regular exercise can only do the wonder, especially in chronic cases.  </p>
<p><b>Effect of Natural Cure</b>  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Almost every one of us agrees that whenever the question comes about constipation, using natural substances is the best solution ever. But not all of us are too inclined over the using of natural remedies for constipation. This is mainly due to their complex and difficult mode of administration compared to the ready made simple swallowing laxatives. In practice, natural remedies are perfect and best solution for constipation. But most of them consume a great amount of time till you prepare them for administering. There are few effective laxatives and colon cleansers available in the market that have the potential to offer you an effective solution for constipation cure and also provide support from future hazards.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Constipation and fecal impaction is not the same thing. Many people think that they are the same. While they both involve the intestines, bowels and fecal matter, they are two different problems that have to be treated differently.</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.colon-cleanse-constipation.com">Constipation</a> is the term used to describe slow moving feces or stool through the intestines. The longer it takes for fecal matter to be eliminated from the body, the drier and harder it will become. Symptoms of constipation include passing small, dry hard stools, a feeling of incomplete evacuation, straining, fatigue, bad breath, skin eruptions, abdominal pain, hemorrhoids and irregular bowel movements.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Fecal impaction is the term used to describe a large mass of hard stool or fecal matter that is “stuck” in the rectum. Symptoms of fecal impaction may be similar to constipation symptoms. However, in addition to those symptoms the individual may have bladder problems, back pain, nausea, vomiting, dehydration, a distended abdomen, a rapid heartbeat, sweating, fever, dizziness and even high or low blood pressure. Individuals who have a fecal impaction may also experience very explosive diarrhea. This diarrhea does not remove the impaction, it moves around the impaction. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Constipation can be very uncomfortable and annoying. Fecal impaction is far more dangerous than constipation. Fecal impaction can be life threatening. Fecal impaction that is not treated can worsen and the individual could possibly die from it.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Constipation can be caused by numerous things including not eating enough fiber, not drinking enough liquids, a lack of exercise, certain medications, changes in lifestyle or routine, ignoring the urge to move your bowels, abusing laxatives, irritable bowel syndrome, pregnancy, traveling and other various reasons. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Fecal impaction can be caused by ignoring constipation, pain medications, illness and long term use of laxatives. Many people are surprised to learn that prolonged use of stimulant laxatives can lead to fecal impaction, but it is true.  With prolonged use the colon can become dependent upon the laxative to aid it in evacuation. When the colon has been exposed to laxatives and stool softeners for a period of time and then it does not get the expected dose, constipation and fecal impaction can occur. To put it simply, prolonged laxative use can make your body forget how to move and evacuate fecal matter on its own.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If constipation is not addressed and an individual develops fecal impaction it cannot be treated as easily. Fecal impactions in the rectum must be removed manually by a medical professional.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Constipation should be addressed at its onset to prevent a fecal impaction. Steps to alleviate constipation can include making changes in the diet, drinking an adequate amount of water, exercising and doing a <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.colon-cleanse-constipation.com/best-colon-cleansing.html">colon cleanse</a>. Tips to aid in stool evacuation include the following:</p>
<p>When you are sitting on the toilet, it is important that you do not hold your breath when you are trying to eliminate a stool. A good constipation tip is to breathe in your nose and out through your mouth. Holding your breath while you are trying to pass a stool can actually hamper the elimination process because it closes up the bottom. Learn how to push without straining. When you have placed your feet on the stool, simply lean forward and breathe normally. This will enable your stomach muscles to push the stool out without straining. Essentially, you are pushing from your waist. You should always respond to any sign that your bowels want to move. Delaying or putting off a bowel movement can aggravate constipation. No matter where you are, if you feel like your bowels want to move, find a bathroom. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Don’t let constipation get the better of you. Be proactive and take the necessary steps to keep you body’s digestive system in good health and running smooth.   &#13;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>A new Epidemic </b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It may seem silly to call the rise in gastrointestinal diseases caused by our affluent society an epidemic. Still, it can’t be denied that the human suffering, the work days missed and the health care expenses have many in our modern society yearning for the good old days. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Medical costs for digestive problems are estimated at 50 billion dollars a year. About 200,000 workers stay home from work every day because they are suffering from sudden constipation or diarrhea or some other digestive disturbance.</p>
<p><b>Are we Poisoning Ourselves?</b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>A lot of adults will concur that they suffer from sluggish bowels. Many wholistic practitioners believe this toxic build-up in our colon is a form of autointoxication. This waste material that sits in our colons for far too long can, over time, cause many chronic degenerative diseases.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Then, there is a re-absorption into the bloodstream of all that waste that gets carried throughout the body. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Some of the results of this are chronic fatigue and body weakness, depression, nervousness, skin problems, ulcers, headaches, arthritic joints, swelling in the feet and hands- the list goes on. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>You would think that any country that spends a cool billion dollars a year on antacids has a health concern going on. </p>
<p><b>Common Digestive Complaints </b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Let’s take a look at some of the ways that our bowels are complaining to us about our lifestyle.</p>
<p>Diarrhea &#8211; Although it’s a common symptom, it can develop for hundreds of reasons. Over use of laxatives, an adverse reaction to a medication, complications of diabetes and thyroid trouble and infection from contaminated foods or drink are some of the things that cause diarrhea. Irritable Bowel Syndrome &#8211; Doctors attribute this disorder to stress. It shows as bloating, abdominal discomfort, gas, diarrhea and sometimes-sudden constipation. This illness can stop making someone’s life miserable as fast as it began, with no real noticeable reason for this happening. <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.colon-cleanse-constipation.com/diverticulosis-diverticulitis.html">Diverticular Disease</a> &#8211; Little pouches that develop in the walls of the large bowel cause this. It can affect about ½ of the population of people over 50, but it doesn’t always have symptoms. When the little pouches get inflamed, there is pain, diarrhea or sudden constipation and fever. Surgery is a last resort, but might be necessary if diet changes and medications fail. Colitis &#8211; Nobody has found the cause of this inflammation of the colon. It usually shows up when people are in their 20’s and 30’s. Severe diarrhea, with blood and mucus in the stool and abdominal pain are symptoms. Medications can help, but most of the time surgery is needed.Crohn’s disease &#8211; This disease seems to affect young people, too. Stomachache, diarrhea and weight loss are signals of the disease. Some people can manage with medication, but most will need surgical intervention. Cancer &#8211; Any sudden change in bowel habit, such as sudden constipation should be looked into. There may also be persistent abdominal pain, weight loss and bleeding from the bowel. Colon cancer is on the rise, but is often cured if caught early. </p>
<p><b>Colon Cancer </b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Many report that sudden constipation is what alarmed them enough to go to a doctor. As colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer, people need to be clear about the importance of early treatment. If you are enjoying regularity and you develop sudden constipation, have it looked at by your doctor. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Other than sudden constipation you should never wait to see your physician if your bowel movements are black. This is often a sign of bleeding from somewhere. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If you or someone you know has a genetic predisposition to cancer, it is a good idea to make diet changes now. A diet that is high in meat, or high in fat and low in fiber is putting your health at risk. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Remember: people who are 50 years and over are at a higher risk of developing colon cancer, so any warning sign, such as sudden constipation, should have you making an appointment with your physician.</p>
<p><b>A Healthy Colon </b></p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If you’ve been eating a lot of unhealthy foods, a good colon cleansing might be in order. Many people are opting for a spring-cleaning of the colon and claim renewed vitality, better skin and nails and other health benefits because of it. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>There is no need for taking any harsh, colon-cleansing regimes that have you sitting near the bathroom door. One product that is very gentle and uses natural oxygenated magnesium, germanium and citric acid to actually liquefy and clean out waste material is Oxy-Powder®. You may not suffer from sudden <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.colon-cleanse-constipation.com">constipation</a>, but if you’ve had bouts of constipation or sluggish movements, chances are you’ll want to do some cleansing. It is never too late to get your colon in tip-top shape.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you constipated and feeling a little not interested in the bedroom? Does the thought of sex send your mind thinking about the bloated and sick feeling in your stomach? It’s no surprise that when you’re not feeling healthy, many of life’s joys can be left behind, and in many cases, it’s the sex drive that goes. We’re going to look at how a colon cleanse may be just what you need to clean up your act and get your love life back in gear.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>When you’re constipated, there are many things going on inside your body that you may have no idea of. For example, if you’re not moving your bowels in a proper fashion, it can lead to a build-up of toxins that get re-absorbed into the bloodstream. As the toxins rush throughout your body, they send your systems into a frenzy. Your body is fighting the toxins so hard that other functions just can’t be handled. What happens is your immune system lowers, your digestive system is already wrecked and your sex drive suffers.</p>
<p><b>How to tell if YOU are Constipated </b><br />&#13;</p>
<p>At any time, over 4 million Americans are suffering from constipation. To say it’s almost epidemic is an understatement! And those are the ones actually going to the doctor for it, not the people simply using over-the-counter treatments. What’s important to know is that you can be having bowel movements and still be diagnosed with constipation.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If you have two or less bowel movements in a week, you can be classified as constipated. If you have to strain, or have incomplete bowel movements 25% of the time you go, you are constipated. Likewise, if you experience black, small, hard and pebble-like stools, or thin pencil-sized stools, you’re constipated.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It’s important to understand that constipation is usually derivative of an underlying cause. It can be something as simple as an improper diet or as severe as diabetes. You need to be aware that you don’t get constipated for no reason. Blood sugar levels, diseases like diabetes and medications can all affect your digestive system in a negative way. These same reasons can also be adding to your sexual problems.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Study results show that people with <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.colon-cleanse-constipation.com/irritable-bowel-syndrome.html">Irritable Bowel Syndrome</a> (IBS) are over 4 times higher at risk to experience sexual health problems. Decreased sex drive was the most common complaint, and women were noted as experiencing pain during intercourse. It was also shown that the problems surfaced twice as much with constipation patients compared to diarrhea patients. Also, the worse the IBS, the lower the sex drive.</p>
<p><b>How to Get the Drive Back</b><br />&#13;</p>
<p>Cleaning your colon can get rid of all the sludge and grime that is backing your system up and causing your libido to nosedive. It’s been proven that the average person has accumulated between 5 and 25 pounds of pure waste in the colon. Waste that never leaves. It just sits in there, putrefying. Right off the bat, imagine how much better you would feel if you cleansed 25 pounds of garbage out of your body!</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Did you know that over 90% of all illness can be directly traced back to a dirty colon? The colon is where 70% of the body’s immune system does its work. If the colon is filled, the immune system is lacking and you’re getting sick. How much better would it be if your colon was clean and your immune system could fight the organisms it’s meant to fight instead of dealing with the toxins in your body?</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Products like Oxy-Powder work wonders, effectively cleaning out the colon and getting rid of numerous years worth of build-up. Oxy-Powder’s powerful, yet gentle formula uses a combination of oxygenated magnesium, germanium and citric acid to naturally cleanse and detoxify your colon. It even promotes a healthy environment that allows good bacteria to flourish and aid in digestion.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>With Oxy-Powder, you’ll notice a difference both inside and out. You’ll feel lighter, cleaner and simply healthier than ever on the inside. On the outside, you’ll have a much more vibrant look, a clearer complexion and your energy will be noticed by everyone. Your body is like a self-servicing machine. It has the ability to heal itself and avoid many illnesses, but that’s only if it’s healthy enough to do it. Removing the toxins from your body will allow it to work the way it’s supposed to.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Adding a proper exercise routine and changing your diet to include more fiber and water will help maintenance your clean, new system. A good diet should include 25 to 35 grams of fiber per day. Most Americans only get about 15 grams if they’re lucky. That adjustment alone can work wonders for your digestive system. A colon cleanse may be just the spark you need to re-ignite your life. You can say goodbye to <a rel="nofollow" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/article_exit_link');" href="http://www.colon-cleanse-constipation.com">constipation</a> and hello to your partner again, in the bedroom!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having chronic constipation can lead to some serious diseases. The food you eat should move through your gastrointestinal system and colon easily and in a specific time. When digested food residues remain in your colon for days, your colon can becomes toxic.  This toxicity can spread into every part of the body, but will normally flow into the weaker parts.  In the bloodstream, these toxins interfere with the deliver of oxygen that goes to your cells and tissues.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
If you have to strain and squeeze to have a bowel movement, you can damage the tissues in the lower part of your colon and the blood vessels in your legs.  Chronic constipation can cause you to form hemorrhoids and enlarged blood vessels in either leg.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In 1908 Eli Metchnifoff, director of the Pasteur Institute, was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.  His research showed that pathogenic colon bacteria or bad bacteria toxic secretions and their by products acted as slow poisoning of the entire body.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Metchnifoff believed that toxic matter coming from your colon was responsible for every degenerating disease.  His belief was so strong that he suggested that man&#8217;s life span was certainly cut in half when his colon was neglected and allowed to have excessive toxic producing bacteria.  Chronic constipation is an indication of having an excess of bad bacteria and toxins in your colon.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In 1931 Dr. Joseph H. Greer, was advising his patients what to do to eliminate chronic constipation and how to prevent it. Today, nutritionists and other health practitioners are telling their clients the same thing.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In his small book, The Drugless Road to Perfect Health, 1931, Joseph H. Greer, M.D. reminds his patients,</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
&#8220;You must have &#8216;roughage&#8217; to make the bowels move freely. Concentrated food (processed foods) and constipation go hand in hand, (and) then pills (laxatives) are used. More constipation and more pills, it is a vicious circle with bad results.<br />&#13;<br />
Don&#8217;t be afraid of cracked wheat, cornmeal, cut oats, raw cabbage, onions and celery. They are far better than refined flour and the package foods that flood the market. They may save some labor in the kitchen, but they produce constipation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Naturopathic doctors and other alternative medicine practitioners now believe chronic constipation is a serious condition that cannot be ignored.  Regular bowel movements keep your colon functioning efficient and healthy.  To ignore constipation for long periods of time can lead to some serious illnesses and diseases. Mostly likely you will not live to be a ripe old age and if you do it will be with some undesirable disabilities.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Many doctors, for a longtime, have refused to believe that irregular bowel movements can cause other parts of the body to become weaken and unable to perform their function. You will still find Internet articles, anatomy books, and health books suggesting that for some people bowel movements in 3 days or more can be normal.  To believe this is a big mistake and can cause you to believe your health is ok.  Take responsibility for your health and don&#8217;t let chronic constipation become a reoccurring condition, which can shorten your life. &#13;
