As a nurse, I can say this is always the answer, vegetables & fruit. The American diet is horrible for the GI system. When I went vegan some years ago I started having three a day, takes less than a minute apiece
This is a myth, every single thing I eat all day has a ton of fiber in it and I have never had a problem. No doctor will recommend limiting your natural fiber in any way
But oh, god, the pain. What a way to escapeTheStall.com !
I had to turn my prescription and left-overs back into the pharmacy after day 4 because the smallest opiate scripp left me in more pain than the original complaint and I had that gait that only really pregnant women or really old men have.
This might only be me, but when I’m constipated, my go to is hydration and lettuce.
I’ll get myself a nice big salad, and eat it super fast. The idea is that if you eat it fast, you won’t chew as much. The partially unchewed lettuce can help irritate your guts into doing a bit of a clean cycle. (Plus, veggies are already great for constipation.)
Best of luck, and wishing a healthy one for you soon haha.
That’s a good tip. My personal choice is celery. Celery has higher water content, and more insoluble fibre than lettuce. And you can eat it pretty quickly too.
