CONSTIPATION: Aside from fluids, fibers, stool softeners, make sure to avoid bananas, apples, rice, tea and other food that make the stools hard to pass.

Change in bowel habi: If this is a change in bowel habits compared to your regular bowel movements, you should get help from a gastroenterologist. You might need a colonoscopy.
