Occasional constipation is not a disease.
A soft stool is the key to regular, comfortable elimination. There is no more effective stool softener than water. It is generally defined as having less than three bowel movements per week. Typically, a constipated stool is hard and difficult to pass and may be accompanied by bloating and discomfort.
According to National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse:
- Occasional constipation affects almost everyone at one time or another.
- Many people think they are constipated when, in fact, their bowel movements are regular.
- The most common causes of constipation are poor diet and lack of exercise. Other causes of constipation include medications, irritable bowel syndrome, abuse of laxatives, and specific diseases
In most cases, simple tips will help relieve symptoms and prevent the recurrence of constipation, including:
Eating a well-balanced, high-fiber diet that includes beans, bran, whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables.
- Drinking plenty of liquids.
- Exercising regularly.
- Setting aside time after breakfast or dinner for undisturbed visits to the bathroom.
- Not ignoring the urge to have a bowel movement. Normal bowel habits vary. Whenever a significant or prolonged change in bowel habits occurs, check with a doctor. Most people with mild constipation do not need laxatives. However, a doctor may recommend laxatives for a limited time for people with constipation.

Lifestyle Cause of Occasional Constipation
Dietary habits may be the most obvious contributor to constipation. Dehydration is a common problem. Diuretics may also cause dehydration. A diuretic makes the body take water from the blood and put it into urine. Sodas and alcoholic drinks are common diuretics. A lack of fiber may also contribute to constipation. Red meat, fried or sugary foods, dairy, and processed baked goods are high in calories but low in fiber. If these make up too large a portion of a diet, they crowd out high fiber foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
Staying fit is important for warding off constipation, because the body contracts muscles in the lower abdomen and upper legs to assist with bowel movements. A lack of exercise will make these muscles too weak to be much help. Maintaining regular habits is also vital to intestinal health. Travel and changes in bowel routines can contribute to constipation. Heed the urge to have a bowel movement, because resisting this call is a common cause of constipation. Stress can be also a contributing factor.
Other Causes of Constipation
Constipation happens more often during certain stages of life. Infants and children may be more likely to suffer from bouts of constipation. Constipation is also more common among the elderly. Pregnant women may experience constipation due to hormonal changes and the pressure of the growing uterus on the intestines.
Certain drugs and supplements, as a side effect, can be a cause of constipation. When abused, laxatives may lead to constipation and laxative dependency. Pain medications, antidepressants, and narcotics may cause irregularity. Medications for Parkinson’s disease and for high blood pressure may be linked, as are iron pills and antacids with aluminum or calcium.
Problems with the thyroid also may lead to constipation, as can problems of the nerves that connect to the large intestine. If the body loses too much salt through vomiting or diarrhea, irregularity can result. Sometimes hemorrhoids can cause anal sphincter muscle spasms which in turn causes constipation.
Life style factors such as diet, exercise, and routines affect constipation. Constipation happens more often during certain times of life. Certain drugs may contribute to constipation. When suffering from irregularly, try to eliminate certain causes of constipation.

H2Go, by LaneInnovative, contains Active Magnesia that draws water into the colon to make elimination easy and regular. Two small easy-to-swallow mini-tabs daily can help end your worries about constipation.*
Constipation is the problem nobody wants to talk about, yet it affects almost everyone at one time or another. For some it is a byproduct of certain health issues. For many others, constipation is an inconvenient, periodic concern that has simply become too uncomfortable to ignore. Traditionally, people deal with occasional constipation by taking fiber or laxatives. But there is another option growing in popularity —helping to prevent constipation with a natural mineral supplement called H2Go.*
Harsh laxatives or fiber are not the best answer
Many laxatives work by artificially stimulating or irritating your colon into a flurry of activity. If they work too well, the result can be diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, cramps, which is not only uncomfortable but embarrassing. These laxatives can start you on a yo-yo cycle of alternating constipation and diarrhea. And the more often you use them, the more likely your colon will lose its natural responsiveness and become laxative dependent.
Taking fiber may seem like a better idea, but it is not always easy on your system. Fiber works by absorbing water and increasing bulk in the colon. That is why you should drink lots of water when taking fiber. For some people that is just not feasible. And you may find that all that fiber leaves you feeling bloated or uncomfortably full. Moreover, fiber takes time to work, a critical consideration when you are constipated, and many fiber products don’t taste good.
The secret is….water
To prevent constipation, the secret is water (moisture), to soften the stool for regular, comfortable elimination. H2Go is a regularity supplement unlike any other. It helps your body draw and hold water into the colon without the bad taste or discomfort of fiber. H2Go is an easy to take mini-tab. It contains a highly active form of magnesium, called Active Magnesia – which brings water into the colon and holds it there to make elimination easy, comfortable and regular. Active Magnesia has up to four times the water-attracting power of other magnesium forms. There is nothing like it. It is not just an osmotic, it is a Hyperosmotic. Working almost like a giant sponge, H2Go increases the collection of water in the colon to support healthy, regular elimination.*
Unlike harsh laxatives, H2Go does not artificially stimulate or irritate your colon. It doesn’t add uncomfortable bulk like fiber. Instead it gently harnesses nature’s most effective stool softener, water, to help keep your system on a regular schedule while continually and thoroughly cleansing your colon.*
Gentle and Effective
H2Go comes from Japan where it has been a best seller in Japan for years. Tens of thousands of people have sworn by H2Go in the United States. Two small, easy-to-swallow H2Go mini-tabs each day will gently and gradually cleanse your colon, eliminate toxins and, most importantly, help keep you regular. With H2Go, you may not have to worry about constipation anymore.*
