Don’t let these be a “pain in your butt” any longer!

I’d like to talk today about something that we all experience at one time or another. Constipation! But before I get into the nitty-gritty of Nature failing to call for you, I have a funny but true story to share: A very dear friend of mine knows a gal who doesn’t bother with laxatives, enemas or prune juice when she gets constipated.
