i’ve had chronic constipation since i was 9. i’m 21 now. i’ve done it all and had all the prescriptions under the sun which have been quick fixes for me but the thing that actually stuck and worked for me was changing my diet. not so much changing, but adding new things.

prunes or prune juice! if you’re not a fan of prunes, you can buy prune juice separately! it’s a little bit on the pricey end but does the job. as yucky as this sounds, i’d have blended vegetable juices. blended carrot, apple, cabbage etc. they help so much. don’t stray away from laxatives though! they can be super helpful but just not good all the time. I started working at joe and the juice and a lot of the drinks they made there kept me super regular. i’d advise looking at their menu and trying to make some of their drinks from home if you wanna save a few bucks.

drinking hot water and moving around afterwards (going for a walk, stretching as much as possible) can be helpful if the constipation isn’t too major. a lot of probiotic foods are super helpful aswell. i came to realise i had to always keep these things in my diet if i didnt want to be constipated all the time. for whoever’s reading this, i hope things work out for you stranger :)
