Constipation
Sufferers
Of 2 Types
What's Normal for One
May Distress Another
By DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING
THE latest out OF the little
Il series Help Your Doctor 10
Help You" is the subject OF con-
stipation.
1t starts out by saying IL is
not easy TO define constipation
because the slowing of bowel
movements that is normal for
one man can constitute distress
In another.
One person says he is con-
stipated because he has TO take
a cathartic every evening; he
doesn't have to take q cathartic,
he simply has gotten into the
habit of taking one.
Another person is suffering
from constipation because while
he IS perfectly regular he has
been told by some crank that
he ought TO have three or four
movements a day.
Evidently the only definition
which suits all cases is to say
that constipation consists in
bowel sluggishness sufficient to
worry the Individual.
THERE are two main types Of
l. constipation: one the chronic
type which has pursued the
individual all his life, which is
due mostly TO the nervous strain
and hurry Of civilized life and
poor eating habits; the other is
the sudden acute form which
comes out of a clear sky to
affiict person, usually a middle
aged patient. who has always
been normal before.
The latter type is likely to
mean some serious disease and
should be investigated.
In examining patient with
constipation TO see what the
type is, ii is most important to
get a good history.
The kind of person the con-
stipation hits is far more i'm
portant than the kind OF con-
stipation the person has.
A general examination to
assess the health and nutrition
is the second step.
The lower bowel can be
aimed by an electrically
lighted tube to see il there is
any local disease and an X-ray
Of the entire digestive system
will show the rate al which food
passes through and where, if
any place. the stoppage is.
IN FOLLOWING a meal
l. through the digestive tract, it
is almost the rarest thing in
the world to find any stoppage
between the end of the stomach
and the beginning of the large
bowel.
The meal sometimes is de-
layed In leaving the stomach
and this, OF course, is associated
with certain forms Of consti-
patton.
Even more rarely IL is found
that the meal is delayed in
going from the gullet into the
stomach.
But after leaving the stomach
il goes through the small in
testine at a very rapid rate, a
great deal Of it being absorbed
and taken to the liver for
nutritional purposes.
In the large bowel (colon) 4,
however, movement suddenly be-
comes sluggish.
This has nothing to do with
the shape or appearance. Of the
colon.
People are often frightened
by seeing an X-ray picture which
reveals that the colon is de-
cidedly abnormal in shape. but
this has nothing to do with its
ability to function.
