Could you tell me what are some completely natural and safe remedies for constipation?

Dr. Eric Kaplan answered

Specializes in Colon and Rectal Surgery

Diet and fluids: A good high fiber diet and plenty of non caffeinated, non alcoholic fluids should do the trick...Nothing more nothing less. 80-100 ounces of fluids per day at a minimum.
