Botulism: 10 Symptoms of Botulism
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #8: Constipation
Food needs to pass through our digestive tract at about the right pace. If it goes too fast then not enough food and water will be absorbed. If it does not go fast enough, then it can cause the digestive tract to become blocked. The latter is known as constipation, and it is a fairly common symptom.
Constipation causes stools to become hard and dry because most of the liquids have been absorbed from them. This makes them difficult, and sometimes painful, to pass. Constipation does have the potential to be serious, so you should arrange to speak with a doctor if symptoms persist.
