Feeling blocked?
If you’re dealing with constipation, focus on high-fibre foods, plenty of fluids, and probiotics to help regulate digestion.
If you feel very full, then focus on a few days to a week of hydrating foods like soups, stews, smoothies, juices etc to give the bowel a rest.
Here are some of the best foods to relieve constipation:
