Someone asked to me
I would like to ask, I have been consuming the lime juice every morning for the last three days and then eating wheat crackers, during the day I eat as usual, and every night I consume fruits such as bananas or papaya. Since drinking lime juice I have become more frequent to urinate, but I have not been defecating for two days. Is that normal? Thank you
answer from me
Everyone has a different chapter pattern. There are people who defecate 2-3 times a day, there are also those who only defecate 2-3 days. This is not necessarily an abnormal thing. You are called having constipation if there is a change in your bowel pattern. For example you usually defecate every day, suddenly you are not defecating 2-3 days. You are also called having constipation if the stool that you remove is very dry and hard, and difficult to remove (must be hard strained).
Basically lime juice can help stimulate the release of digestive enzymes and facilitate bowel movements. Therefore the consumption of lime juice is actually good for dealing with constipation. If you experience a change in bowel pattern, the possibility is not caused by the consumption of lemon juice.
The following are some of the possible causes of your CHAPTER changes:
Diets lack fiber
Lack of drinking fluids
Less moving and active
Side effects of certain drugs
The habit of holding back BAB
Pregnancy
Certain diseases such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, spinal cord disorders, inflammation of the intestines, tumors in the intestine, etc.
If you do experience a CHAPTER pattern change, here are some things you can try to do:
Increase your fiber consumption, eat at least 5 servings of vegetables and fruits every day
Drink enough water, at least 2-3 liters a day
Reduce consumption of meat, fat, and sugar
Increase your physical activity
Avoid the habit of holding back BAB
If you still cannot defecate after doing the above, consult directly with your doctor so that further evaluation and management can be done.
