Constipation
I have read somewhere that drinking 1 litre of water on empty stomach daily is good for health and digestion and also it helps in easy movement of stool. So I started to drink daily on empty stomach, here comes the problem , if I don't drink 1 litre water it would be a tough day for me ,Im finding it very difficult during bowel movement. Is it called constipation?. If I drink 1 litre it will be smooth and fine.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
You must never drink huge amounts of water like that.
First check who has written such articles.
Usually people with no knowledge write such articles and the readers don't even consider that the writer is a expert on the subject or not.
You can take a tab. Laxidyl two tablets in the night before bed for 5 days.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
