Many possibilities: While dietary fiber and fluids help prevent constipation there are many reasons one might have constipation anyways, such as hypothyroidism and imbalances of intestinal flora. I advise evaluation by a gastroenterologist and/or an integrative doctor who practices Functional Medicine. Acupuncture and herbs like Triphala may help but the cause should be evaluated.
