3. Constipation
It is a decrease in frequency in bowel movements. We say that a person is constipated when defecating less than three times a week, making an excessive effort to eliminate hardened stool. More recent definitions about constipation contemplate a change in the composition of stools and it is not necessarily focused on stool frequency. Although not familiar, with Crohn’s disease episodes of diarrhea and constipation alternate. Its duration depends on each person.
