Sometimes we eat too much at the holidays or make other sudden changes to our diets that cause constipation symptoms to surface every now and again. There are a number of other factors that might lead to temporary occurrences of constipation such as: traveling, stress, dehydration, even using new medications can lead to some difficulty with bowel movements. However, any time that back pain and constipation occur at the same time, it is time to consult with a doctor because that could definitely be a sign of a larger problem unless you happen to be pregnant. If not, then it is imperative that you read on because this IS a major cause for concern, especially if it has been chronic or has started recently.
