i'm sorry to hear you're going through this. diet is the first thing to look at whenever the bowels seem out of sync. are you eating enough dietary fiber in the form of vegetables fruits and whole grains? are you drinking enough water to stay hydrated? are you exercising? all of these things can influence the way your bowels perform. examine your diet carefully and honestly. make sure you're consuming several portions of fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits each day. eat whole grain products. if you're eating a lot of pre-packaged or junk foods replace them with fresh alternatives. if you're not exercising several times a week this would be a good time to get started. moderate exercise such as walking three times a week could help you with your blood pressure diabetes and other problems. be sure to get your health care provider's approval before you start a modest exercise regimen. walking will help your bowels too. wishing you well!
