It’s never made sense to me that some people refuse to drink water even if they know it keeps you functioning properly. The same people will complain of constipation or dry skin but don’t want to do the thing that fixes their issues.

    To be fair, while drinking water is great and everyone should have an adequate fluid intake (if you’re thirsty, you’re already dehydrated), water is not a guaranteed cure for constipation. I was in Paris for a week back in April and the only thing that helped me was taking a ducolax, my digestive system needed a reset after that long international flight and eating different food for a few days.

      Drinking water obviously isn’t the cure for constipation, it’s to prevent constipation caused by dehydration. There are of course other causes of constipation.

      tbf, drinking the water in Paris is probably what gave you constipation.
