Common conclusions

Consider taking a fiber supplement to induce bowel movement and add bulk and volume to your stool. It also helps in pushing your stool through from your intestines out from your body.

Try to eat foods that are fiber-enriched such as oats, whole grain bread, cereal, rice, black beans, artichoke, raspberries, figs, and apples to help improve your bowel movements.

Proper hydration helps in making your bowel movements normal. Consume more than eight glasses of water every day to help regulate a proper bowel movement. Also, do not hold your poop or keep yourself dehydrated for a long time.

Taking a laxative can help move fluids through your colon and promote a good bowel movement. Make sure to consult a doctor regarding what laxative is best for you. Laxatives are only meant to be taken shortly and must not be used frequently. Be cautious when to stop it as it may damage your colon’s ability to contract if you do it abruptly.

One common cause of constipation is the lack of water intake. Try taking a stool softeners such as an enema or a suppository. These will soften your stool and help in pushing it out from your body.

Consider walking or jogging outside for a while to help in encouraging a bowel movement by increasing blood flow throughout your abdomen.

Home remedies can help relieve constipation at a low-to-no cost at all. However, if your constipation goes unbearable and lasts for days already, consider seeking a doctor’s help to prevent severe complications.

Over-the-counter remedies can also help in relieving your constipation. Try eating prunes or probiotic food such as garlic, onions, bananas, and garbanzos. These will help improve your digestive health and balance gut bacterias.
