Not true! Frequency of bowel movements is an individual thing. For some people, going every day is normal, while for others, going only a few times a week is the norm. If you feel bloated, gassy, find going to the bathroom difficult, have hard, dry stools, you may be experiencing constipation. Don’t suffer in silence. Consult with your doctor to discuss your own situation and determine if your frequency of bowel movements is right for you.

Vegetable Chicken Stir-Fry
This simple meal is high in fiber and low in sugar and saturated fats. The vegetables are not overly fibrous and are considered to be neutralizing for the digestive system. The ginger works as a digestive aid as well. To make a vegetarian version, omit the chicken and add the vegetables directly to the olive oil, garlic, and ginger, then add 1 cup of shelled edamame soybeans (total stir-fry time should not exceed 10 minutes with the soybeans).
