Feeling backed up, bloated, or just not yourself? It could be constipation, and it’s more common than you think.

Signs of constipation include:

  • Fewer than 3 bowel movements a week
  • Hard, dry, or difficult-to-pass stools
  • Bloating or stomach discomfort
  • Feeling like you can’t fully go

If these signs and symptoms lasts more than a few days, causes severe pain, or comes with blood—it’s time to get checked.

The good news is constipation can be prevented with a few simple habits:

  • Drink plenty of water
  • Eat more fiber-rich foods
  • Stay physically active
  • Don’t ignore the urge to go
