Constipation is when waste (poop) gets wedged in your intestines. Your intestines are awfully loopy inside you, and not very smooth. So sometimes when you try to push something through, if it’s too big or not lubricated enough with water then it can cause the poop to get stuck inside those loopy tunnels.
