A member asked:
I am suffering from cronic constipation and i also want to gain weight so do i need to cut down protein diet and need to focus on fiber diet?

Good start: You need to emphasize fresh fruit and green vegetables, limit dairy, and add whole grains and nuts daily. Also need to drink plenty of water. If constipation persists, you may need to add a motility agent like senna. Discuss this with your doctor.
