A busy lifestyle and erratic eating habits often disrupt bowel regularity, making abnormal bowel movements the new norm for many. Symptoms such as pain, bleeding per rectum, mucus discharge, loose motions, or difficulty passing stools indicate an unhealthy digestive system. In contrast, a healthy gut supports regular bowel movements, typically once a day in the morning, without strain or stimulation, effectively clearing accumulated toxins. Recognizing the signs of an unhealthy gut or constipation is essential. These include infrequent bowel movements (less than three times a week), a reduced urge to pass stools, straining or pain during defecation, bloating, and a persistent feeling of incomplete evacuation.
