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.
Soluble fiber soaks up the moisture in food and slows digestion. This can help keep you regular if you make it part of your daily routine. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool and relieves constipation faster, and has the added benefit of getting toxins out of your body quicker. Good sources of soluble fiber are: oranges, apples, carrots, oatmeal, and flax seed. Good sources of insoluble fiber are: nuts, seeds, fruit skins, and dark leafy vegetables.
