Hi,
To relieve your constipation: Increase your fiber intake. Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
