See details: Constipation is a common side effect of ibuprofen. If you are taking this med daily stop it and see if the constipation resolves. If not have the issue evaluated to be certain the cause is not a serious one.

Enough water?: An increase in fiber in your diet must be accompanied by an increase in the amount of water you drink every day. Without the water, the fiber will have the opposite effect and make you more constipated.
