Hello,

welcome to HCM.

To relieve constipation you need about 25-30 gms of fibre on daily basis.Also you need to drink lots of water i.e about 3-4 litres to keep your bowels moving.
1. Foods that should be consumed on regular basis to relive constipation are raisins,prunes,dates,bananas,pears,papaya and ofcourse along with lots of salads with your meals.

2.Also there are certain foods which causes constipation and you should avoid them such as products made with refined flour,chocolates,pomergranates,caffeine.

3. There are also couple of medicines like the iron tablets which causes constipation.Pls check with your family physician about that.

Hope I have answered your query.If you have any doubts I will be happy to help you.
