- Foods for constipation to relieve chronic constipation for good. This Physiotherapy guide teaches you the foods to avoid with constipation and the best fiber diet to prevent constipation long-term. The best foods to relieve constipation if you’re already constipated aren’t high fiber foods. High fiber diets can make existing constipation worse. Having the correct fiber intake helps you prevent constipation however if you're already constipated there are some simple steps to take to your bowels moving well again.

Chronic constipation is a problem that’s often linked to eating the wrong foods in your diet. You may find that you can temporarily relieve constipation using laxative medication only to find that you become constipated again. Your diet plays a major role in overcoming chronic constipation along with getting regular exercise, adequate fluid intake and using the correct bowel emptying technique.
Fibre plays an essential role in bowel movement and preventing constipation. Insoluble fiber doesn’t break down completely during digestion. Insoluble fiber speeds up the movement of wastes through the bowel. Soluble fiber absorbs fluid in the bowel making your stool soft and easier to pass. Water is removed from waste in the bowel (large intestine) and as a result slow stool movement can cause the stool to dry out and become hard to shift (constipation).
Most healthy adults should consume 25-35 grams of fiber daily for bowel health (1). This fiber intake should involves a combination of soluble and insoluble fibre types. One of the biggest mistakes people commonly make is consuming a high fiber diet when they are already constipated and this can make constipation much worse. Sometimes the best way to relieve constipation is to temporarily reduce your high fibre intake, clear your bowel of hard stool and then gradually reintroduce fiber into your diet according to how well you tolerate it. Working out the right amount of fiber in your diet for your system may take some trial and error. Try to maintain good fluid intake (around 6-8 glasses of water) and regular exercise as part of your overall constipation management program.

Finally someone who doesn't encourage fiber consumption for constipation!! Thank you hope more people learn about this misconception
i think u have to work it out for your self because we are all different , i normally go twice a day 10 /12 hours apart only fibre i have is cereal whole grain cheerios and weetabix , no problem at all , i started on bone broth and got constipated so now am trying to figure out what i need to take so i c an still have the bone broth because the broth has helped with my fibro symptoms, bloody nightmare our bodies lol
Fluids, fluids, I don't care if it is coffee, Dr. Pepper, which by the way does have a laxative effect! But investing
in a juicer would be the best bet. Juice a few times a week or more, depending on how you react to the juices. less red meat and see what your body will do with
the right foods and less foods, always best! PS....The best juices to grind up are carrot, beet and apple!
Fibre is obviously very important and if you don't have it you will face more issues. But what she's saying is when all you eat is dry fiber like wheat and fibre in cereals and stuff like that.. but fruit and beans always help me stay regular
Exactly!!

You are one of the best content creators regarding these subjects. These are things my Dr never even mentioned. He just said take fiber, no distinction between the two types.
Just wanted to share something that helps me a lot. Drink water with your meal. I would suggest about 16oz depending on your size. Eat a few bites, drink, rinse and repeat. That will keep your food hydrated so as it passed and water is removed, it’s more likely to continue staying moist near the end of the colon. I also take a supplement that’s powder, mostly soluble fiber and when I am doing everything right, everything comes out so clean I dont even need to wipe.
Another note, if you eat soluble fiber, weather it be a supplement or a food like oatmeal, if you don’t drink enough water to keep that fiber hydrated, it will just dry up and make things worse.
So in addition to everything said in the video, I just had to add this….drink water. It may be difficult at first. But as you drink it and increase the volume, eventually your body will crave all that water. Cheers!
@ugk26 Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your helpful tips! I'm glad you find the content valuable. I appreciate you taking the time to share your insights and personal experience. It's always great to hear from viewers who have found additional strategies that work for them. Keep up the good habits and continue listening to your body's needs. Cheers to better digestive health! 🙏 ❤️
I’ve had issues for so many years, my mom said I was always constipated and straining even as a baby, then I struggled with addiction, unfortunately opioids which made it far worse, getting clean while taking suboxone kept the problem going, it’s been a consistent issue for a long time. What’s helped me so far was:
1. An elevated foot stool for the toilet, I think it’s 7 inches to be in the ideal position to go.
2. I drink lots of water right when I wake up (it’s hard when you feel bloated so I do what I can and don’t overdo it)
3. I add boulder salt (electrolyte salts on Amazon) to my water so it doesn’t run right through me.
4. I learned my digestive enzymes are low so I supplement with those before a fatty meal.
5. I’ve tried all kinds of enemas/suppositories, saline enemas ended up helping the most in emergency situations, but everyone is different, just make sure you’re WELL hydrated whatever you choose because a lot of them pull water into the stool to soften it, which can leave you dehydrated, ALSO doing gentle stomach massages while on toilet with feet elevated helped things move around, move clockwise in circular motions, CZcams has some good videos on this, it made a huge difference in output during enemas for me.
6. It got so bad one time I went to the hospital (they did nothing) so I went in for a colonic somewhere in LA, took my bloodwork and hospital paperwork with me and asked questions, that’s how I learned my digestive enzymes were low, it was expensive but imo worth it, I wouldn’t do it too often because I would think it could throw off good bacteria over time.
7. The Dr from the colonic place also suggested magnesium bicarbonate (after subtly bashing every electrolyte powder I told him I’d tried) per his advice I buy mine from LivePristine, they have premade bottles of liquid, or a tub of powder that you mix in with carbonated water let go flat and drink. It’s expensive but the powder lasts a long time, & you can make it in bulk, you just take 2 oz nightly (also helps heartburn, sleep, and stress)
I’m still trying to figure out what foods are causing me so much trouble and am over 1/2 way done tapering off my suboxone, still struggle with some bloating and everything isn’t perfect but I haven’t had any ER visits, or pain that makes me fear my stomach is tearing open. I’ve had fissures in the past and hernias, be careful not to overuse any laxative/enema/suppository medications and always try not to strain. Just elevate your feet lean back and massage your stomach. Gentle stretching/yoga videos for bowel mobility. Be kind to yourself and patient, you will figure it out 💕
^ This isn’t advice just what’s worked for me, if my situation is similar to anyone’s I’d like to share what helped me, but really everyone’s different and for every problem there’s a solution, but different problems require different solutions. Hope everyone has a good day and a smooth movement 😄
How did you know when you go to the hospital or use an enema?
Constipation is a multi faceted condition. As another commenter said, learn about gut motility, the process where your colon pushes the food/ faeces along. Some people have too slow motility = constipation. Where is the constipation ? At the back door ? Get gelatine suppositories, work a treat. or Blocked further up and nowhere near the exit, requires a different solutions. A home enema kit and salt water flushes have saved me multiple times. I go from feeling ill and poss very low to well and happy within a couple of hours. I have recently taken out refined cards and starches ( bread, pasta, rice etc ) and that has helped. Discovered last year , by accident, Im allergic to bananas and avocados. Learn yourself and how digestion works. I had a perfect bowel motion a week ago ( rare) and I felt like a champ. That is how powerfully our digestion and pooping impacts the way we feel.
Finally someone who gets it. Everyone says to eat more fiber and when I do it only makes things worse! It’s been several years of this. So frustrating.
Yes, I got more constipated by consuming more fiber... Thanks for the video.
Wtf
Yeah i not doning that
@@dontfwitjay6822 get sum stuff frm the store it make u poop the. Drank water after I take it the. Make hot tea it works
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover diet in constipation try Trentvorty Herbal Protection Theorem (should be on google have a look )?
It is a great one off guide for curing constipation naturally minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
Then you obviously didnt drink enough water lmao.
I struggled with constipation for years until I started having a morning smoothie and it cured everything. What I blend every morning is 2-3 bananas, a large handful of greens (spinach leaves, lettuce, etc), a cup or more of blueberries, and water or plant based milk. It’s delicious and keeps everything working great. I used to also include oatmeal in the blender but it only made things worse.
Interesting so you think the problem was the oatmeal? (soluble fibre?)
Michelle Kenway it was definitely contributing and seemed to cause more issues as I’ve gotten older (I’m 58). I tried softeners, oatmeal, bran, more water, psyllium, nothing really worked until I started making this smoothie and it’s been a life saver for me.
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to learn about dog constipation symptoms try Trentvorty Herbal Protection Theorem ( search on google )?
It is a great one of a kind product for curing constipation naturally minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Thank you so much i will try this
What about IBS
Thanks for this information. I have had chronic idiopathic constipation for as long as I can remember. My body moves things along at a much slower pace and fiber can really make it worse. Your description about adding more fiber when already blocked was spot on.
Glad this helps Tina! Yours is a tough problem to deal with ...
I almost did not watch your video when I saw the items shown. I thought, here is another person that doesn't understand that high fiber is not the solution. So, I am glad that I did continue watching to find out you are a friend and know what is the best solution. Thank you.
I ve been suffering with this>Unfortunately when i found i am intolerant to gluten,i started eating too much fibre foods and now dont feel like pooping at all.I am so much afraid of this and finally saw this!!couldnt thank you more!!Really worth listening
Well I’ve never heard that from anyone before. The demonstration was terrific, it made a visual that makes a lot of common sense. Thank you! 🙏. I will keep this video nearby to refer to.
Wow!!! You are the first person ever to make any sense! Thank You!!!!
@Harley James You are so welcome! I'm really glad this make sense, thanks so much for taking the time to comment ❤️
I have been following you for years. Keep up.the great work!
I love your videos, they are informative, simple and straight to the point...Thank God for you
Very helpful information. Loved the visual demonstration.
Thank you very much for making this video. I needed this information.
Good, honest, sophisticated information. Will certainly be watching more of your videos. Thanks
@Robert Findlay really my sincere pleasure and privilege to help🙏 Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad that you found the information in my video to be good, honest, and sophisticated. I appreciate your support and look forward to having you watch more of my videos in the future. Wishing you all the best! 🙏 💖
This was eye opening! I always try to load up on fiber when I’m feeling “sluggish.” But what you explain so clearly is how that might not be the way to go (pun intended!). Thank you!
Michelle, I LOVE your kind, clear and organized style! Thank you for this video. 🙏😊
That's a great way to put it; "clear and organized" YES!! Love her.
This is the best advice I have got on what I should consume and what I shouldn't thank you so much
Thank you very much. I am slowly learning some foods that I cant tolerate anymore. Your advice makes so much sense!
@Phill Harris You are so welcome! I'm really glad they make sense, thanks so much for taking the time to comment. All the best to you!🙏❤️
Thank you!! My one doctor just kept telling me oats and high fiber smoothies and it just kept making me nauseous because it was just piling on and ended up having to take a stimulant laxative once I got a new primary. Thanks for this video! I also love the one where you show us how to massage our bowels!
@bong-hits-4-jesus you're most welcome! Thank you so much for your feedback and support. All the best! ❤️🌺
one or two tablespoon of chia seeds in a glass or ware overnight and drink it on an empty stomach, that helped so much with my chronic constipation that lasted years. God bless you ❤
I will try this for my chronic constipation😩. God bless you as well ❤
@@joyj.842 aaah no problem, genuinely it saves me!!! it literally cured me along with prayers pfc
Thank you, Michelle :-) Such a super important point about fiber when we are already constipated! I've learned this over many may months of struggle. I appreciate you, also, mentioning how we need to slowly re-introduce fiber back in. I may have been introducing it too quickly.... it's so difficult to eat low fiber after years of homemade veggie and whole grain dishes. I might mention that eating high protein and fat while going low fiber can slow digestion to a halt; at least it does for me.
I am soo bloated, I know walking far, drinking water, and prune juice should do it ! I HOPE !!
Good luck!
This is so helpful. I often have suffered EATING HIGH FIBER Soluble and only recently begin to understand that it's the insoluble that I need most. Over the years MD's have only said ' eat more fiber". thank you for sharing this.
@Eileen Newsome You're so welcome! I'm glad you find this helpful Eileen -wishing you well! 🙏
I have constipation for a long time, can you tell me what are the insoluble fibers that you have in your diet? I tried a lot of things including less quantity of soluble fiber but it didn't work for me.
@@KIke190JRFhey, try eating papaya fruit or steamed pumpkin. about 100grams, 3 times a day, morning-afternoon-night. i do that, the stool will be soft.
Since thousands of years (Egypt!) the optimal manner to overcome not only occasional constipation but chronic constipation too naturally will be taking castor oil. Remember that castor oil is the only laxative that will not work in the intestines by irritating them, but by activating and synthesizing certain substances in the human body. So any habituation of the human body or diminishing laxative effect is absolutely impossible and castor oil is suitable in a special manner for chronic constipation. Take 1 tablespoon (15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach; eventuelly later a second tablespoon castor oil
Great post, thanks for putting it up.
The truth be told, I really love this
@peri digital thank you!❤️

@Manava Parakoti you're welcome! 💓
Thanks. I now am on tract for better days .
Yes too much fibre can actually make you constipated. Drinking lots of fluids helps as well.
It drives me CRAZY to see so much regurgitated advise on alleviating constipation by using high fibers, lots of water, magnesium exercises and less processed foods. We ALL should know that by adulthood, but NOBODY ADVISES AGAINST high fibers while you’re constipated. Anyone giving our advise about this subject should be warming people what should be taken, but MORE IMPORTANTLY, WHAT SHOULD BE AVOIDED WHILE SOMEONE IS STILL “BACKED UP”. Thank you SO MUCH for such an important lesson on high fiber foods and how they effect the colon when one is constipated!🙏🏼😭
I have been constipated my whole life - but I never feel pain because of it.
I now understand that as soon as I have a little bit of gluten - I get constipated. I think there are more foods that might trigger it for me. If I eat lots of veggies, it gets worse for example.
If I eat lots of meat - I absorb almost all of it and don't really have much waste at all coming out.
I take a prebiotic blend of 8 different prebiotic fibers, and that is working great for me.
I also found out that a long walk - is usually helping me as well, so implementing more movement can be very beneficial if you are struggling with constipation.
What probiotic fibers are you taking?
i went off gluten and i'm going to the bathroom a little easier - prune juice also helps
Use polenta and make corn bread 👍
Awesome video with helpful information. Thank you Michelle for sharing.

I had a big crap using 1 tablespoon soaked chia seeds, 1 banana and 1 apple. I was constipated consistently for more than 6 months UNTIL I used this natural remedy. Now I don't fear toileting. What a relief to be regular. I thought it was Old Age. Also remember 8 glasses of hydration on average per day.
Just to be sure , soaked in what exactly? Water or anything else? Also did you consume empty stomach in the morning or some other time period? Please clarify
Did you eat these together or separately?
Please note Now I also drink my 8 glasses of water to keep stool soft. Spread over mornings noon and earl afternoons.
@@thelaceygirl separately Spread over a day. No magic.
Chia seeds are the best. Not the best type of omega-3 but they have a very high percentage of omega-3 And are also keto and low-carb friendly. If you put about 3 tablespoons with a cup or a cup and a half of almond milk and a little stevia and just stirred a few times in the first couple hours and let it sit for five or six hours or overnight it makes an awesome pudding. It’s basically like tapioca pudding you can add blueberries or a little strawberry or vanilla and it taste great. I’ll eat half of that with my first meal of the day and it makes everything work really well as far as constipation goes and is great for you. Eat a very high vegetable sort of clean version of keto with no inflammatories like grains so you have to eat a lot of nuts and Chia seed broccoli also seems to help but I think what she said about eating it together is important, Eat lots of kale and spinach and dark leafy greens brussels sprouts asparagus artichoke broccoli cauliflower zucchini lots of avocado and some and onions with reasonable amounts of meat, 4 to 6 ounces depending on what it is, but a lot of keto diet or keto friendly foods aren’t really all that great for you you don’t wanna eat too much meat you just want to get the right amount of fats and proteins, but with eating all of those dark green vegetables you’re getting a ton of that kind of fiber so you really need to add the Chia seeds or something along those lines but that’s my go to because they’re not fattening they’re incredibly healthy they’re great for hydration they’re great for your skinI know it’s only a platform they’re very high on the omega-3’s, that she has had pudding is really easy to eat and usually I just eat it while I’m cooking.
Another thing with constipation is hydration and the mistake doctors always tell you to drink more water but if you’re constipated you already know that you’re already drinking a lot of water, but you can drink too much water. This whole nonsense about eight glasses of water a day is a bit much unless you’re outside working hard physically and sweating a lot, 6 foot tall man only needs 3 to 4 glasses of water a day but you have to balance your electrolytes, that’s what hydration is, And that’s critical with constipation. Just drinking more water will not hydrate you it can actually make the dehydration worse because it washes the minerals out which are the electrolytes and your body isn’t getting the water it needs so it pulls it out of your colon which makes it dryer which makes it more constipated, and without the electrolytes there’s also an issue with the muscles in your colon and part of the way it digest is contracting and expanding which keeps mixing that food come out when you’re dehydrated it’s not doing that nearly as much and that’s all about magnesium and potassium and sodium and chloride so you need to have a good balance, using electrolytes within reason is great, usually I just add a little bit of salt to a gallon of light green tea with a lemon in it and that’s what I’ll drink over a couple of days, Also cutting back on salt can dehydrate you if you’re eating healthy salt isn’t a problem for high blood pressure and your heart and especially if you’re eating healthy with the keto diet where you’re utilizing fats and proteins balanced with good vegetables all of your body signals work incredibly well if you have enough salt your body won’t like the taste as much or crave it and it will tell you how much to eat. But on the most important things you can do for constipation also is fasting 16 or 18 hours a day. Eat your meals within a six hour period and go at least 16 or 18 hours without eating but make sure you’re getting those electrolytes and that allows your body to digest everything and move it through without overloading your system I just having a constant stream of food moving through you come in if you’re getting the right balance of fat and all those dark green vegetables your body is going to be very satisfied and you will not feel hungry and all of those cravings go away so it’s very easy to do but it’s very healthy. You need to do that so your body eats its own waste detoxes gets rid of excess calcium from injured and remodeled bones and helps the collagen build bone and replace it that’s when you’re burning stored fat and being able to give your food that time to digest without just cramming it through with a ton of food behind it along with a good electrolyte balance and the water soluble fibers is exactly how to get rid of it. People who do keto diet train just to lose weight and her eating garbage food and too much meat and are just counting carbs often get constipation and everybody blames that on keto but it’s more about the lack of electrolytes and there’s nothing better you can do for constipation then get your electrolytes and keep your cool and hydrated but I think she is seeds are awesome and they fit pretty much any diet you can eat them straight if you want they don’t have a lot of flavor and they taste kind of like a sunflower seed but really tiny you can put them in almost anything if you put it in the liquid it will absorb it and kind of thicken up, You can also grind the Chia seed up which is actually better for you I just throw it in water for just about any kind of food and that and electrolytes on pretty much any diet will fix constipation but you still need the non-soluble fibers also they create mass and the Chia seeds do that to an extent but that mass forces your colon to expand it’s kind of like exercising it and it keeps it working better and then you’re all good. I know I’m rambling but it’s been hours and hours and hours studying this stuff. But more important than any of these is balance your electrolytes which is proper hydration just drinking a bunch more water isn’t going to fix anything unless you’re just not drinking any water in the first place but water flushes out the minerals so you have to replenish those minerals to get a good electrolyte drops or electrolyte powder and put that in your water and make sure you’re getting plenty of magnesium and potassium in your food and that you are eating enough salt, usually your food is going to have enough magnesium and potassium if you’re eating healthy but sodium goes out pretty quickly so I didn’t half a teaspoon to a gallon of water is a great idea, you won’t really taste it much it will be a tiny taste but the other thing will do is also quench your thirst more when you drink it your throat won’t feel dry still and you’ll feel more satisfied if it keeps happening then you need to get and electrolyte powder or drops and put that in your water, That’s without question the most important part no matter what kind of foods you eat if you don’t do that you’re going to get plugged up.
Thank you so much

Ezekiel bread is not only high fiber, but because it is made with ORGANIC SPOUTED GRAINS it is a complete protein (and nutrient dense)!

VERY helpful! Mahalo!🌺🌺
I've had chronic constipation my entire 64-year old life, and it's been awful. I've tried increasing fiber as everyone wants to tell you, see-sawed on and off laxatives, even had my PCP prescribe Linzess, all to no avail. I drink 64 ounces of water a day (along with coffee and tea) and have no relief. I will try your recommendation to reduce the fiber, try to get cleared out with an OTC laxative and then ease back into a soluble fiber intake. Thank you for letting me NOT feel guilty for jumping on the fiber bandwagon as a be all/end all!
Carla I am in the same boat as you 54 I am going to do what you are doing. How is it going so far?
@@kl3625 No luck yet. I have to confess, I fell of the bandwagon and had some rice. So, I'll start over again this weekend.
How it's going over there? I'm suffering as you. I even had an intestinal paralysis and was hospitalized.
@@tatianaac93 I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you're doing better now! I'm still plugging away with stool softeners, more insoluble fiber, less soluble fiber, and LOTS of fruit juice. My annual visit with my MD is next month. You know this will be on the agenda.
Chew your food more too. Digestion starts in the mouth. We just swallow our food way too quicly because it's had time to mix with saliva and broken down. You stomach and intestines don't have teeth.
Thank you for great tips.
@technologyteacher5877 You are so welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment.❤️
this is really logical advice, thank you so much. I suffer from chronic constipation that i have not been able to resolve for 4 years, the problem now is to get myself unconstipated so i can start to build up fibre again, i have tried a variety of medications which dont work unfortunately
@Mary Verikios you're welcome - I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through, all the best for your recovery. 🙏
Just keep in mind that if you have lots of fiber make sure to drink lots of water. Get to the root of the cause why you're constipated. I switched my diet to plant based food and that got me constipated too.
Did you find out the root cause?
I went to the emergency room a while back in bad shape. E R doctor gave me a laxatives and it worked later on that night. He told me to take Mira lax every morning. About 1 teaspoon in my coffee or any liquid. Definitely does the trick.
Smart explanation!!💥👏
@lyudmila lev So glad to read this, thank you for taking the time to comment ❤️
Wow, this is some legitimate info! Thank you for the education! What are some breakfast ideas whilst temporarily cutting out fiber?
@May Sam143 I’m so glad you mention that this is temporary as fibre is so important in the diet. Breakfast foods could include yogurt, lower fiber fruits like melons, papaya, eggs, baby spinach, shakes and lower fiber cereals such as puffed rice might give some ideas - I hope this helps 🌸
@@michellephysio Thank you so much for replying! I’m already seeing some changes! Baby steps!
I'm eating 1-2 apples a day and changed my breakfast plus alot more water intake to help with constipation, it didn't stop but it did help with the pain.
I have made that mistake, thanks for the tip.
@MAGAZINEMAN you're welcome - I hope you benefit from this video information 💖
Amazingly explained 👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
@@michellephysio Thanks a lot 🙏
Yes! Helped immensely--- Thanks!
I’m so glad!
She is awesome!
I had take fiber after doctor have told me then it was getting worst for me.this is absulately great video ever made
@Rajan KC thanks so much for your support Rajan! I hope you benefit from this video information 💖
This changed my life! I have IBS - C and a stage 3 rectocele, everyone kelps telling me more water and fiber. Thanh you, I finally have a plan of action.
What type diet do you follow now and did it help?
Yes, I’ve reached for high fiber when constipated
I wish I watched this video before I ate a lot of vegetables when I already had constipation. Now, I know why it didn't work and my stomach bloated. Thanks!
Glad this helped you!
Ohhh yeah! Been there done that.
This is so wonderful to know. I’m type 1
yep.
So now I know what not to eat, but what do I eat now that I am constipated??
Drinking 2-3 liters of water and eating apples daily can really help too!!!
How about apple juice 🍎
Thank you soo much for this video, I got really frustrated with all the increase your fiber intake to solve your constipation problem videos. I have been doing it for years and it didn't seem to help when I am constipated. Now I understand why, thank a lot🙂
Wow! Great.
@Sherry Gaillard thank you for taking the time to comment. Hope this helps 🙏
She doesnt actually give you examples of what to eat whilst constipated!
Also, what was the whole point of comparing the two types of fibers, when the final conclusion was not to eat either type. What was the point of that experiment?
That's great, but what do we eat instead???
im studying fish faeces and this helped me to understand how insoluble and soluble NSP react in the gut.
Mechanical digestion is also very important in first place,that is to chew you food throughly.
Also to give yourself ample time to chew which does have an impact on later part.
You are correct, I found this out the hard way. When I began being mindful while eating, taking smaller bites and chewing thoroughly my digestion improved a lot. It’s great that you shared this here for others.
Senna tea at bedtime has been the most beneficial for me. Thank you Michelle!
Interesting thanks Eshet - is this just when you're constipated?
Yes. The senna tea softens the stool just enough for a good elimination in the am.
Be careful to get used to Senna. The intestine can lose the tone and wouldn't move on its own.
Thank you so much for that information. I am severely constipated, because of medication and SIBO. I’ve been adding more and more fiber - no more!
Great to hear Martha - hope this works well for you!
its not surprizing people do this when all you ever hear from the doctors etc is eat more fibre makes me want to scream , if you have a blocked sink due to grease you dont add more grease , to much insoluble fibre will absorb water from your intestinal tract which then as you have found out then cant move , try a large class of prune juice if your still blocked ,i hate the taste so i suck it up thru a straw quickly ,it worked after an op made me badly constipated within 30 mins of drinking it it moved after hours of sweating straining and pain good luck
Just took a fibre drink ..hope it works tomorrow...it's hard always watching what you it ...constipated is the worst thing ever...soo painful..seems to get worse as you get older...when you run out of food it's hard 😫 to find something right..
Oats make me worse too. I’ve noticed lately a blueberry smoothie in the morning and a snack of carrots and hummus in the afternoon each day really helps. But after this video I understand why. I’ve made the same mistake you were talking about. Also, I’ve been adding a little bit of coconut oil to my smoothie. It seems to help. Also I added flaxseed at night. I used to get plenty of fiber but I had a fat free diet. Once I started adding some oil, it really helps everything move more easily.
Yep Ruth I wonder if some of the fat helps gut motility? I’ll have to look into how much fat influences stool motility, I guess it depends in part on how much gets digested too. Hummus is just great isn’t it!
tip 1 avoid taking high fiber food when constipated, and get laxitives then slowly start introducing fiber into your diet.
tip 2 prevent constipation by having high fiber food when you're not constipated.
so fix the problem from its root or it will keep rermerging the recommended fiber intake goes from 24-35 gram per day.
Thank you for sharing. I like green apple

Great infos thanks .
Just sharing : for me I gets constipated time to time due to my medications for back pain ( post lumbar spine surgeries ) also some food I eat . I avoid eating meat hard for me to digest . What helps me are avocados , prune juice , eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink lots of water and probiotic yogurt !
It’s really a pain in d stomach & for me my lumbar spine as well 🙃
Have a journal of what I eat and knows what helps me or causing it ! Thanks 😊
wishing you a speedy recovery
Whici yogurt are you eating ? Thank you very much
Chia seeds during the day on foods, with 8-10 glasses of water helps me too and of course oats in the morning with a big glass of warm water or maybe tea. 👍thanks good information

I’m so glad I was able to find this video. I noticed that my chronic constipation has gotten even worse now as I’m getting older and I’ve honestly been quite scared of it, cause I would find myself not going to the bathroom for like 3-4 days. But now I realize eating all those high fiber foods plays a part
Low potassium and magnesium cause constipation as well. Oh and low vitamin C.
Thank God I've totally been taking daily fiber and started eating high fiber meals well atleast I have a new hope
Slow down on the fibre until your bowel is clear - empty first then recommence fibre gradually, all the best!
@@michellephysio please reply to me as well😭
Are these ok for celiac disease and mold toxicity?
