How dry can flour get? Think for a moment of all the foods most people eat that are made of flour or are sold in a box? By the same token - the leading cause of constipation is the typical American diet and lack of daily exercise - the reasoning applies to children as well as adults, since what we eat is generally the same, perhaps worse in children.

The body does not function to its potential and suffers with a poor diet and lack of exercise. Body functions and the results of a poor diet cannot be seperated between night and day, standing up or lying down. Bad gasoline affects the lawn mower in all stages of operation, in run or idle.

Treating OSA does not treat chronic constipation, as long as the person does not change their diet or exercise routine.
