Make sure to hydrate: If you're feeling constipated, or having difficulty pooping, make sure that you're also hydrating well, meaning drinking enough liquids. Also, make sure to get some exercise in, as this increases the motility or movement of the intestines and bowels. This will also help you poop better. Also make sure to get the right type of fiber, like greens, vegetables, fruits, and other natural foods.
