Some people may find that going to bed after eating a big meal may aggravate acid reflux. If you feel acidity after eating, try to have dinner at least 2 hours before bedtime.
Struggling to get bowel movements often can make you constipated. If your body is telling you it needs it, don't ignore it!
This causes the stool to be hard and difficult to pass if not enough fluids are consumed. Have water available and drink often during the day.
Low fibre diet may impact bowel regularity. Include fruits and veggies, whole grains, beans and lentils in your meals. Add fibre slowly and have plenty of water.
When you sit long periods, you may not be as active and this can impact the regularity of bowel movements. Make frequent movement breaks and arrange for a light walk post meals.
There's a constant back-and-forth between your brain and your gut. Stress can exacerbate and/or precipitate symptoms of bloating, discomfort in the abdomen, and alteration of bowel patterns. Take breaks, take deep breaths or do things you enjoy.
