It's important to remember that it is not necessary to move your bowels once every day.
Some healthy people need to move their bowels only three times a week; others move their bowels a number of times a day. It
is never advisable to take any medication if your body does not actually need it.
Please visit your health care professional if you have any concerns about your digestive health. |
