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.
Get Plenty of Fiber. If you're constipated, passing large, hard, or dry stools can cause an anal fissure. Getting plenty of fiber in your diet -- especially from fruits and vegetables -- can help prevent constipation, though. Get 20 to 35 grams of fiber per day. Foods that are good sources include: 1  Wheat bran. 2  Oat bran.
