Even if, at home, everything is generally fine, the simple fact of changing the environment, of adopting a different rhythm of life, can be enough to make intestinal transit capricious. And especially slowed down.
The management of this kind of episode of constipation should never exceed 10 days. It is advisable not to “accustom” the body to stimulation for exemption.
