Whole Grains
Here’s the perfect excuse to embrace carbs and eat more bread: they’ll help you go to the bathroom!
Whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, whole wheat, oatmeal, and barley are high in dietary fiber, which helps soften stool so it’s easier to go, normalizes bowel movements, and may even prevent hemorrhoids.
Pears
Pears are an excellent source of natural sorbitol, a well-known natural laxative that draws water into the colon. This fruit is also a huge source of fiber that your body requires to regulate your bowel movements.
Pro Tip: Eat 1 to 2 pears with the skin a day for some useful benefits. Or even drinking a glass of natural pear juice will help.
I am already eating and drinking many of these foods on a daily basis but still have a problem with constipation. I have to use an OTC medication or suppository to relieve my constipation.
