Constipation is probably the most common digestive problem, especially among seniors. Many people misinterpret what constitutes constipation and worry if they can’t produce a bowel movement each day. In reality, a normal rhythm is considered anywhere from two or three times a day to only three times a week. The problem can be compounded by the overuse of laxatives, which only serves to train the bowels to become dependent on artificial stimulation. A better approach to get to the bottom of this problem is to increase fiber intake and get regular exercise.

Inflammatory bowel disease encompasses several digestive disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn’s disease. These digestive problems stem from a faulty immune response that triggers the immune system to mistakenly attack the digestive tract. While a balanced diet is certainly a consideration in treating these disorders, the typical course of symptom management often includes medications, such as antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
