What can you eat & drink constipation? what is a high fiber diet?

[Anonymous]

I had constipation last nite & it was so bad it was 4 hours of a nightmare. Felt I was going to vomitt but I was so constipated , I kept gagging& I couldn’t breathe , it felt my stomach & organs were gunna explode.

it’s all over but the next day my stomach feels empty / drained & weak.
I ate oatmeal with banana, drank water, prune juice & horchata.
I ate a chicken taco. & a protien Shake.

what is a good high fiber diet for lunch? Dinner? Snacks? Drinks? What is good to eat to prevent constipation again?

im very very low on fiber& potassium & I didn’t enough drink water for a long time so I was prob dehydrated.

in those 4 hours I drank 6 water bottles & 4 cans of pinapple juice & raisins to get the 💩 out.

OMG I truly understand what you're going through. If I don't follow a strict diet I also tend to get constipated and that's something I don't wish on anybody. In the past I had to go to the hospital twice to do an enema. But I eventually learned how to avoid getting constipated again so I'll start by saying that water, leafy greens, fruits and vegetables are your best friends. Try to drink lots of water every day to ease your digestion. Try to eat greens/vegetables every day it really makes the difference. Dried fruits like prunes and dates can also help. I noticed that if I eat carbs my body doesn't digest them quiet well and it makes me bloated so if I decide to eat carbs I make sure I have some greens as a side dish (balance is key). Some of my favorite greens are baby spinach, broccoli, lettuce and green beans. Papaya and avocado are also great for me. And again I cannot emphasize enough on important water is for you. I also suggest you go to the pharmacy and buy disposable enemas in case things get really bad next time you have a quick way to ease your tummy. I always have disposable enemas at home and in my suitcase in case I travel. I hope you feel better.

We eat traditional stuff in my home and the one thing I can say has lots of fibre is boiled sweet potatoes. And mangoes have a lot of fibre too

You nearly put yourself in hospital. Adding in too much fluid quickly can cause your stomach problems as it is potentially blocked or worse if your gut shuts down.

drinking fluids regularly, having water with every meal, taking a sip, drink after every mouth full, all help.

getting plenty walking exercise in, walking helps your gut work.

Read the links, see your doctor, book an appointment with a nutritionist.

All types of fruits and veggies have fibre!! You need to increase your veggies and fruits intake. Start by eating two apples and two pomegranates everyday. Whole grains have fibre too. Reduce your meat intake, limit it to once or twice a week.
