The best foods to help constipation with Physio Michelle from https://www.pelvicexercises.com.au These low fiber and low residue foods relieve constipation symptoms when you are constipated rather than eating high fiber foods which can make constipation symptoms such as stomach pain and bloating much worse.

Foods to help constipation can be classified into 2 groups: 1. High fiber foods that prevent constipation by keeping your stool soft and moving through your bowel 2. Low fiber foods that are often preferable to eat when you are already constipated and feeling uncomfortable. Low fiber and low residue foods can reduce the risk of further constipation when the stool is already hard and not moving through the bowel. Low fiber foods may be preferable to eat if you are constipated and taking laxatives to help clear your bowel.

Foods to help constipation symptoms can be classified into various food groups. These include:
*Vegetables - mushrooms, asparagus, carrot, zucchini, lettuce, potato (white and sweet potato)
*Fruits - watermelon, papaya, paw paw, honeydew melon, banana
*Cereals and grains - low fiber white bread, white rice, low fiber cereal (e.g. cornflakes, rice bubbles), plain pizza base, crumpets
*Meats/protein - all meats including beef, pork, poultry, seafood, eggs
*Dairy/milk - milk, cheese, soy milk, coconut milk, custard
*Nuts and seeds - sesame seeds, walnuts, pistachios, peanut butter

When constipation is resolved its important to gradually reintroduce higher fiber foods into the diet. It's recommended that adults consume 25-35 grams of fiber/day for good bowel health. If you suffer from constipation problems try to include high fiber foods in your diet to avoid becoming constipated in the first place. Filling your body with high fiber foods when you are already constipated will likely make your condition worse.
