Drinking Lots of Water Still Leaves Some People Constipated

Drinking plenty of water does not always cure constipation, according to a leading doctor. Dr Vineet Kumar Gupta, who serves as senior director and unit head at the Institute of Gastro Sciences at ShardaCare-Healthcity, explains that bowel habits depend on many factors beyond simple hydration. Even when a person drinks enough glasses of water daily, stools can stay solid and make passing them difficult. Home remedies and simple lifestyle changes like taking long walks often fail once a bowel problem properly begins. Experts advise seeing a doctor for persistent bowel habit changes or warning signs instead of relying only on basic fixes.
