"THAT'S NORMAL FOR YOU"
I just had a conversation with one of my patients regarding her husband (not a patient of mine). He apparently only has a bowel movement every few days and sometimes only once per week. Since his medical doctor has told him, ?€?that?€™s what?€™s normal for you,?€? he is unwilling to look into possible solutions for what I consider to be a major malfunction in his body. Apparently the line, ?€?that?€™s what?€™s normal for you,?€? is a rampant viewpoint as I have many patients who have been told this, including infants. In every situation, one for one, when I discovered the underlying source of the constipation and it was corrected, the new ?€?normal?€? was then 1-3 times per day. Please spread the truth about this. Having body waste collecting internally for 3-7 days contributes to so many health problems.
