Constipation Type 3
These individuals frequently suffer bouts of constipation. They are typically familiar with over the counter preparations and often need laxatives to resolve the situation.
Once they receive relief, they fail to take a proactive approach on preventing future issues. This can potentially lead to a Type 4 Classification.
Common Causes- Diet, Medication side effects, possible abnormal anatomy or adhesions.
Type 3 constipation means stools are often hard and difficult to pass. Staining is common. Many in this category admit to not being able to “go” in public places or have jobs in which they are unable to just leave and go to the bathroom. Nurses and teachers often fall into this category. They will avoid a proactive approach in order to avoid the urgency during a workday. Initially, it is best to aggressively treat this the evening before a day off, but once you become more regular, you won’t have to worry about this. They are typically familiar with over-the-counter preparations and often need laxatives to resolve the situation.

How to prevent constipation type 3
Prevention is key and often easier than one thinks. Daily magnesium will play a very important role as will the occasional addition of additional supplements or therapies to keep your body guessing. By switching things up, you promote active peristalsis (colon movement) as many colons get tired of the same old thing and dosing will either need to go up or fail to work at all.
