How to relieve constipation due to colon polyps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fiber and water: Colon polyps do not cause constipation. However, if you are constipated, you should increase your intake of fiber and water. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods. http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/high-fiber-foods/art-20050948
