What causes constipation, gas & bloating?

Constipation is caused by too much stool remaining in the intestines and is usually caused by not eating enough fibre and water as well as not doing enough physical activity. Gassiness is usually a result of constipation and bloating and can be an embarrassing issue. Bloating is often caused by trapped wind and food intolerances where the body can’t properly process certain foods. If you are prone to gassiness and bloating then you can also try cutting out or limiting some foods in your diet. Some of the worst culprits include beans, lentils, brussel sprouts, cabbage, artificial sweeteners and dairy (if you have trouble with lactose). You could also try a natural colon cleanse to help relieve constipation, gas and bloating if it is a continuous issue for you. A natural colon cleanser can also have many other benefits alongside aiding constipation, gas and bloating, including helping to flush out excess toxins. Cleansing the digestive system is important for its health and function, especially if you have a heavy diet.
