Depends: Most people tolerate corn flakes easily but everyone is different. The best way to combat constipation is to drink an adequate amount of water and ensure your diet is rich in fiber. Sometimes, stool softeners such as docusate help treat constipation

NO: Unless you are eating tremendous amounts of fiber, then eating a bowl of corn flakes would not likely cause major constipation issues.

No, But Not Healthy: Corn flakes are a processed starch, i.e. high sugar. All carbs/starches are only absorbed after digested to no bigger than 2 sugar molecules, thus low residual into colon; not likely to ↑ or ↓ constipation but will ↑ obesity, Diabetes, CVDs, cancer rates, etc. Go HFLC study DietDoctor.com, Taubes, Attia, FatChance.html, ↑↑ above ground veggies (except corn) & soluble fiber intake to ↓constipation.

No: corn flakes should not constipate you. If you are concerned about constipation make sure to have plenty of fiber and fluids in your diet. Eating fresh vegetables and fruits is one way to increase fiber in your diet.
