How do you help treat constipation without laxatives? I know the general rule is diet change and exercise. I’ve tried including more fiber in my diet as well as starting a nightly workout routine even including some yoga poses made to help constipation, but nothing seems to help and I don’t want to be overdoing laxatives.
"Some suggestions include taking psyllium husk fiber with a glass of water daily, increasing vegetable intake, consuming prebiotic foods like raw garlic and kefir regularly, drinking a good amount of water, eating homemade chia pudding daily (1 cup milk, 2 tablespoons chia seeds+optional sweetener), and avoiding laxative medicine and antibiotics. Additionally, chaga mushroom powder has been mentioned to help as it gives a detox laxative effect. Another suggestion is to slightly decrease fiber intake and increase water consumption between meals."
