Why does constipation cause chronic fatigue?
In general terms, constipation is the tip of the iceberg in a long chain of digestive disorders, particularly malnutrition caused by fiber. If you doubt fiber’s ability to cause malnutrition, ask yourself this question: Why do fiber supplements assist in weight loss? The answer: by blocking the absorption of fats, of course. Alas, by blocking the absorption of fats, you also block the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K, and minerals, such as calcium and magnesium because they depend on these vitamins for their own assimilation. A deficiency of these minerals, in turn, causes circulation and muscle tissue problems that are partially behind chronic fatigue syndrome. Here is another example: the fermentation of fiber and the rotting of undigested proteins produce toxic substances, such as methanol and cadaverine, that get assimilated into the blood, and cause severe fatigue.You should also investigate other malnutrition-related causes, such as non-iron dependent anemia, meta
