Go Raw With Plums, Pears, and Apples. Constipation can cause you to feel bloated. Eating more raw fruit can be a constipation remedy because fruit, too, is high in dietary fiber. Plums, pears, and apples are good choices because much of the fiber can be found in their edible skins. Plums, pears, and apples are high in pectin, a naturally occurring fiber.
Over-the-counter laxatives for constipation: Use with caution. Laxatives can help relieve and prevent constipation. But not all laxatives are safe for long-term use. Overuse of certain laxatives can lead to dependency and decreased bowel function.
