If you’re referring to the dietitian-recommended approaches, three commonly suggested natural ways to ease constipation are:
-
Increase fiber gradually — Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and seeds. Increase fiber slowly and drink enough fluids to reduce bloating.
-
Stay well hydrated — Water helps soften stool and can make it easier to pass.
-
Move your body — Regular walking or other physical activity can stimulate bowel movements.
If constipation is persistent, severe, or accompanied by blood in the stool, vomiting, significant abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or inability to pass gas, seek medical care rather than relying only on home remedies.
