Everyone ready for some real talk?! 🙈
Your bowel movements can one of the biggest indicators of your health. 🤗
Bowel movements or lack there of, can be a warning sign that there is dysfunction in your body.
It is important to assess your BMs because they give us a lot of insight to our overall health 🤓
You should be passing AT MINIMUM of once a day. Without straining, without odd colors or shapes. 💩
If you’re finding something is wrong here, it’s extremely important to investigate what the root problem is rather than masking it with Mirolax or other stool softeners 🤔
Abnormal bowel movements or infrequent activity could be related to the food your ingesting, it could be related to your gut flora, it could be related to an electrolyte imbalance, or it could be related to your Nervous System & whether or not your brain is sending the proper messages to your colon!
One of the biggest reasons kids start care in our office is because of Constipation or Bowel health. This isn’t to say that adults don’t see phenomenal changes to their gut Heath once under care. 😆🙈 If you’re finding that your or your little one is struggling with Bowel Movements and/or is Constipated, start with a clean diet, ensure fermented foods are present, make certain electrolytes are being addressed, and if we’re still having problems come into the office for a complimentary assessment to determine if your Nervous System is contributing to the problem!
