NO SHAME IN BEING OPEN ABOUT BOWELS

An alarming new report says Brits are increasingly struggling with constipation.

- 

According to research by Movicol, 84% of people have experienced constipation in the last year alone.

But 60% of us struggle to identify symptoms and more than 40% don't realise unmanaged constipation can mean it gets even harder to go to the toilet.

Despite high-profile public campaigns in recent years, the report reveals high levels of stigma remain when it comes to discussing bowel health.
