What are the ways to break the habit of frequent bowel movements?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 36-year-old male, 5"9 tall, and weigh 158.73 pounds. For the past two years, I have had a habit of bowel movements two or three times from morning to noon. After that, I feel fresh. How can I get rid of this habit? Also, I have undergone CBC, LFT, KFT, and lipid tests, and they are all normal.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Adopt these habits written below, they will help you a lot:

  1. Avoid spicy, junk food and excessive tea, coffee, and cold drinks.
  2. Take one or two cups of buttermilk in your daily diet. It is an intestinal cleanser. You can add a pinch of ginger powder and cumin powder to it if you want to add. But do not take buttermilk after evening.
  3. Take more fruits and vegetables into your diet. But avoid taking raw vegetables.
  4. Sleep adequately and try to go to bed before midnight. Make a habit of waking up early in the morning around the same time daily.
  5. Walking and breathing exercises will be helpful for you.
  6. In medicine, take Bilvadi Lehya, one tablespoon two times a day before food.
  7. Take syrup Kutjarishta three tablespoons with an equal amount of water two times a day after food for four weeks.

Try all these regularly and you will soon feel positive results. Recall after three weeks.

I hope I have answered your question.

Thank you.
