The headline “Constipation: Here are 3 natural remedies that facilitate the evacuation of stools according to a dietician” is broadly consistent with standard constipation advice, but “natural remedy” doesn’t mean instant or guaranteed relief.
Three evidence-supported approaches are:
Increase dietary fiber gradually. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds can increase stool bulk and help it move through the bowel. Adults generally need about 22–34 grams of fiber per day, depending on age and sex. Increase it gradually to reduce gas and bloating.

Drink enough fluids. Fluids help fiber work properly and can make stools softer and easier to pass. Your individual fluid needs depend on factors such as your health, activity level and climate.

Move regularly and establish a bathroom routine. Physical activity can help stimulate bowel movement. It can also help to try using the toilet 15–45 minutes after breakfast, when eating naturally stimulates the colon. Don’t routinely ignore the urge to go.

What about a specific food?
Prunes or prune juice are among the better-supported food options. Prunes provide fiber and naturally occurring substances that draw water into the colon, which can help with constipation.

Don’t ignore warning signs
Constipation should be medically evaluated if it persists despite self-care or is accompanied by blood in the stool/rectal bleeding, persistent abdominal pain, vomiting, or other concerning symptoms.

So if the article promises that one particular drink or food will “empty your bowels immediately,” that’s an exaggeration. The reliable approach is fiber + adequate fluids + regular movement + good bowel habits.
