What Causes Trouble In Moving Bowels?

the decrease fiber is the cause
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely the reduction of fiber that has caused the constipation.
The following may help you to regain some of this fiber:
(1)Try a fiber supplement. This should help replace some of your fiber.
Fiber supplements with psyllium are low in gluten
An example would be metamucil
(2)use beans and legumes. These would also aid in bowel movements and would not adversely affect your gluten levels
(3)use seeds- flax seeds, chia seeds. These can be added to your meals to boost fiber content and also have additional beneficial effects
(4)use a snack such as popcorn which is fiber and whole grain
You should not use the stool softener too often because it can affect bowel function.
I hope this helps,feel free to ask any other questions
