What do i do to help constipation? i've tried lemon water, yogurt, but nothing works.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiber laxative: Drink enough water so that your urine is colorless and take a fiber laxative like Metamucil. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
