It can be because of lack of fibre in diet and some intestinal conditions like irritable bowel syndrome. Try to include high fiber foods such as Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato in diet and take plenty of fluids.If issue still persist then consult a doctor.

I'm feeling really tired and weak after I have a bowel movement, like my whole body is worn out and my knees hurt. It usually gets better once I eat something. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I'm missing in my diet or routine?

I'm dealing with some mild neck pain for about four months now, and I've noticed my SGPT and SGOT levels are high. I've checked for hepatitis and all results were negative, and a sonography indicated mild fatty liver disease. My doctor prescribed some medicine to bring down the SGPT and SGOT levels, but I'm not really sure about any specific instructions or steps I should be following. What should I do next?
