Exercise and bowel movement

[sunflower71]

I''ve recently started excercise again after some time off due to an injury during which time I had IBS, bloating etc.
I am now in my 5th week but I have noticed my bowel movement and erm the product! has improved.
Why is this?
sorry not too much of a nice topic!

Diet, healthy living, exercise etc all affect the general consistency of your motions. If work was stressful and you weren't eating properly, maybe the time off and a change in diet has contributed to this.

every morning drink a glass of water before your usual tea / coffee. this helps your body regulate the bowel by rehydrating it with the water. hope this helps. radio.
