What are some things you eat or drink to make you poop?

Question

I suffer from chronic constipation. It has gotten so bad to where laxatives and stool softeners are not working. I have started to modify my diet because it was definitely an unhealthy diet, but I'm not sure what to eat or drink to make me poop. The one healthy thing I have always stuck to is water since I was a baby. When I have told my doctor about this, she kind of blows me off and keeps telling me to try stool softeners.

Answer

I suffer chronic constipation as well. I drink Miralax very day, and I incorporate a lot of greens into my diet. I don’t eat any junk food or anything like that cause carbs and sugars trigger my IBS and SIBO, but I think that has been pretty beneficial for me in the bathroom department as well

Answer

Prunes.  My mom ate three prunes a day when she was pregnant with me and never had constipation.  They're now my go-to when I can tell I'm headed in that direction.

If you want something more natural, try chia or flax seed.

Flax seed does wonders, add more greens to your daily diet. Drink some coffee, prune juice, apple juice and up your water intake that helps me. If nothing helps call your doctor they will be able to help you better. Good luck!
