Constipation

Q. Why do constipation and diarrhea alternate?

A.

This is a typical presentation of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (mixed type). The sensitive bowels repeatedly cycle between severe constipation and explosive diarrhea once a breaking point is reached.

📝 Detailed Answer

이럴 때는 변비약과 지사제를 번갈아 드시면 안 됩니다.

그러면 장이 더 헷갈려 합니다. 장을 안정시키고 정상 리듬을 되찾아주는 치료를 해야 둘 다 잡힙니다. 유산균 섭취와 규칙적인 식사가 기본입니다.
