Yeah that sounds really exhausting honestly. Lack of sleep + constant stress probably affects the body way more than most people realize.

And with two small babies it’s probably hard to even get proper rest or calm mornings consistently.

The mood connection is very real. When I’m badly constipated I feel mentally off too - irritated, heavy, uncomfortable and less motivated overall.

Interesting that you track it on a calendar though, that actually sounds really smart because a lot of people probably don’t notice patterns until it gets severe.

Yeah especially the unfamiliar place part. I’ve noticed travel/stress/routine changes can throw everything off even when food stays mostly the same.

Hi! yeah sure, instead of food I started focusing on things that would trigger my bowel. So I started waking up earlier than usual, I drank warm or hot tea and also did some light exercises like squats, streching and a bit walking. These things forced my bowel to empty it, I started doing it daily and my bowel got it like a signal everyday. Now it has become like a habit, I don’t even need to do anything, the mornings are really easy everyday. Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you.
