Food that helps you poop
Ok I am just going to be blunt with this whole thing. I am constipated and I haven't been able to poop for almost a week now. I usually poop at once every two days or so. I am really unhappy and it's making me feel AWFUL! I have sat on the toilet for a long time trying but am unable to just do it.
Please, help me! What food helps you poop? And what makes you constipated anyway so I can try to avoid that again?

I had a problem like this a while back, I won't hide it. I had lack of fiber, if you go around your food store, you'd be surprised on how much fiber there is in food. Just try to maintain it better and keep a close track of what your eating and how much your eating, if it fails to help go to your doctor. Good luck&&feel better!

Fiber makes you move your bowels. If you aren't going, it might mean that you need more fiber in your diet. However, you need to get your bowels moving right now and concentrate on the fiber after you go. There is an over-the-counter medicine called Miralax, which is gentle and safe. It is a powder and you mix it with water and drink it. It is slower working than other laxative pills, but it is much, much safer and better for you. It takes about two days for it to totally work. The laxative pills are harsh and could be habit-forming.
Once you go, add more fiber to your diet. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and eat bread that says 100% whole wheat on the package. If it just says "wheat," it is not whole wheat. You need whole wheat bread. Some other foods that are high in fiber are: blackberries and raspberries (fresh); bran muffins; popcorn; almost any kind of beans; peas; corn; broccoli; bran cereal.
Foods that cause you to have constipation: white bread; processed cereals; ice cream; meat; chips; pizza; instant mashed potatoes; frozen dinners; cheese.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Fibers really help you regulate your system. I'd try eating Fiber One bars with a glass of milk, or Nature Valley bars. They all contain a lot of fiber and are actually pretty healthy for you too. Apples also contain fiber. Constipation can be caused by a lot of things, diet included. You may not be eating the right amount of food, or other problems I'm not really sure of. Also you could try taking a tums, Rolaids, or Gas X and see if they help you go.
<3 Good luck
