Reasons for constipation and how to find relieve
The reasons for constipation can be different, but firstly and the most important is:

These rotting and fermentation processes have resulted not only with suppressing the importance of natural micro-organisms (for human intestine favorable), but also the emergence of harmful, rapidly toxic substances in gaseous and liquid form which penetrate through intestinal wall directly into the blood, thus flooding the entire body.

Ill - in terms of the action from unphysiological bacteria that cause a change of intestinal contents, as can be seen in such unpleasant smell of faeces and wind.
