Yes.: Vegetables are a rich source of fiber. So if you suddenly reduce the amount you eat, you can change your bowel motility. Specifically, less fluid and fiber can contribute to constipation. You can reverse this by increasing your consumption of vegetables, fruit, whole grain cereals, and by drinking more water. Good luck. Lgromkomd.

Could: Dietary intake plays a major role in the development of constipation. A change in your diet with less vegetables and fiber can certainly increase the chances of constipation. Veggies and fiber can be good for you, ..Play detective and eat the right combo of healthy foods best for your digestive system. Best wishes.
