What is the best diet to have when constipated and bloated?

It's NOT DIET: It's LIQUID! Drink as much as you can..(Add Prune or Apricot Juice if you like either! If this situation is "chronic" you may have IBS-C (Speak with your PCP (Primary Care Provider) about this possibility since SPECIFIC TREATMENT is available! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Fiber + water : As a 29 year old female, you should first look at your diet, make sure you have adequate, recommended amounts of fiber in your diet, AND you are drinking enough water daily. Multiple factors can play a role in the development of constipation. But, ALWAYS start with diet and water intake.
