Try these things to relieve your constipation: DO NOT skip meals. Avoid processed or fast foods, such as white breads, pastries, doughnuts, sausage, fast-food burgers, potato chips, and French fries. Many foods are good natural laxatives that will help you move your bowels. High-fiber foods help move waste through your body. Add foods with fiber to your diet slowly, because eating more fiber can cause bloating and gas. Drink 8 to 10 cups (2 to 2.5 L) of liquids, especially water, every day. Ask your health care provider how much fiber to take each day. Males, females, and different age groups all have different daily fiber needs. Most fruits will help ease constipation.
