In a recent survey in India, it was found that almost 22% of the adult population experiences constipation. [1] Constipation is a condition where bowel movements become infrequent or difficult, with reduced bowel movements of fewer than three times a week, often resulting in hard and dry stools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain foods can naturally ease bowel movements by improving stool consistency and promoting regularity, while others can make things worse.

This can happen due to low-fiber diets, inadequate hydration, sedentary lifestyles, or even ignoring the urge to go. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) highlights that increasing fiber and fluid intake can help if you are constipated. [2]<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foods To Eat When Constipated<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While fiber plays a major role in relieving constipation, it can work best when combined with enough fluids, healthy fats, and balanced nutrition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Fibre-Rich Foods<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156975\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/29192.jpg\" alt=\"fibre rich foods\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/29192.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/29192-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/29192-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/29192-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too little fiber can lead to sluggish digestion, causing issues like constipation and an unhealthy gut. It is usually recommended that adults get at least 22-34 grams of fiber a day. [2] Load your plate with fibre-rich food like nuts, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Soluble fiber, like cooked vegetables and whole grains, can help soften the stool by absorbing water, whereas the insoluble fiber, like nuts and leafy greens, can add bulk and help the stool move through the gut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ways to increase your daily fiber intake<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opt for high-fiber breakfast options like poha, moong dal cheela, ragi dosa, etc<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add more non-starchy vegetables like spinach, broccoli, etc<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swap white rice for brown rice or quinoa<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Snack on a handful of seeds, nuts, or fiber-rich fruits such as apples, pears, etc<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Healthy Fats<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156976\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2149235840.jpg\" alt=\"healthy fats for constipation\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2149235840.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2149235840-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2149235840-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2149235840-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deep-fried foods or high-fat foods can slow down your digestive system. Instead of saturated or trans fats like chips, namkeen, cheese, opt for good or unsaturated fats like nuts, avocado. Good fats can act like lubricants for the intestine. Hence, having nuts, seeds, olive oil, and ghee in moderation can help smooth bowel movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

Similarly, people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may experience sluggish bowel movements. Probiotic-rich foods like curd, kefir, and fermented foods like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">idlis, kanji water, or dosa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with lactobacillus strains can enhance gut-friendly bacteria, improving digestion and regularity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is your diet not meeting the daily requirement of probiotics?

Prunes are a traditional remedy for constipation, rich in natural sorbitol that helps soften stools and stimulate bowel movements. Their high fiber and sorbitol content can make them an effective, natural option for digestive relief. Similarly, Ghee, or clarified butter, is a traditional remedy for constipation. Rich in butyric acid, it helps lubricate the intestines, improve metabolism, and alleviate symptoms like bloating and abdominal discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foods To Avoid When Constipated<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-156979\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/441154.jpg\" alt=\"foods to avoid when constipated\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/441154.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/441154-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/441154-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1mg.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/441154-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some foods can slow down digestion, dry out the stool, or block fiber\u2019s action.

But it is important to consult a doctor if it comes with severe pain, bloating, or blood in the stool. Or you face sudden changes in your stool timings, and also if you are taking any medication that is causing constipation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>FAQs<\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-style: inherit; color: #1d1d1d;\">1. Can constipation cause Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms?\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, long-term constipation can sometimes overlap with or worsen IBS, particularly the IBS-C type. It can disrupt normal bowel movement and alter gut bacteria, leading to symptoms that are common in IBS.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. If someone is constipated, does it matter at what time they eat?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meal timing can influence bowel habits. Eating at regular intervals helps stimulate the digestive system and can promote bowel movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Are there any particular diets that can cause constipation?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, diets that are low in fiber and high in processed foods, red meat, or full-fat dairy can slow bowel movements. Extremely low-carb or keto diets may also cause constipation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>4. What not to eat when you are constipated?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid processed or fried foods, full-fat dairy products, and refined grains like white bread, pasta, and white rice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>5. Is rice good for constipation?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on the type of rice. White rice is low in fiber and can make constipation worse if eaten frequently. On the other hand, brown rice can support healthy digestion as they are rich in fiber, when eaten with enough water and vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
