Constipation

Normally people poop 1 to 3 times a day. This should be soft and easy, not urgent, loose, or crampy. Constipation happens when your large intestine absorbs too much water from your poop, drying it out. This makes it hard and difficult to pass. There are many reasons a person might get constipated.
