Hello Anshu,

Constipation for 7–8 days can be very uncomfortable. Here’s what you can do:

1. Dietary changes

Add fiber-rich foods: papaya, guava, orange, apple with peel, banana, oats, whole wheat chapati, brown rice.

Include vegetables and salads daily — cucumber, tomato, carrot, leafy greens.

Soaked black raisins, figs, or prunes can help soften stools.

2. Fluids

Drink at least 2–3 liters water/day.

Warm water after waking up often helps bowel movement.

Fresh fruit juices and soups are good additions.

3. Lifestyle tips

Regular exercise / walking improves gut movement.

Go to the toilet at a fixed time daily, preferably after breakfast. Don’t suppress the urge.

Avoid prolonged sitting or inactivity.

4. Foods to avoid

Reduce tea, coffee, fried, processed, or fast foods — they worsen constipation.

5. If not relieved

If constipation continues beyond 1–2 weeks, or if you have blood in stool, severe pain, or weight loss → consult a gastroenterologist.

Sometimes a mild stool softener or laxative may be needed temporarily (to be prescribed by a doctor).

Hello dear, Constipation is very common and usually not serious, but it can be uncomfortable. Managing it involves lifestyle, diet, and sometimes medical treatments. Here’s a structured guide:

⸻

✅ Lifestyle and Home Measures 1. Increase Fiber Intake • Aim for 25–35 g of fiber/day. • Sources: whole grains, oats, brown rice, beans, lentils, fruits (apples, pears, berries), vegetables (broccoli, carrots, leafy greens), nuts, and seeds (chia, flax). • Increase fiber gradually to avoid gas/bloating. 2. Stay Hydrated • Drink 1.5–2 liters (6–8 cups) of water daily. • Warm fluids in the morning (like warm water or herbal tea) may stimulate bowel movement. 3. Regular Physical Activity • Walking, swimming, yoga, or light jogging helps stimulate intestinal movement. • Even 20–30 minutes of daily walking can make a difference. 4. Create a Toilet Routine • Try to go at the same time every day (often after breakfast). • Don’t ignore the urge to pass stool. • Sit in a squatting position (use a small footstool under your feet) to make passing easier.

⸻

✅ Diet Tips • Add high-fiber foods: prunes, figs, flaxseeds, chia seeds, leafy greens. • Limit constipating foods: excess dairy, processed foods, refined flour, fried/fast food. • Probiotics: yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, or probiotic supplements may help regulate bowel movements. • Healthy fats: olive oil, avocado, nuts can help soften stool.

Constipation for 7–8 days can improve with increased water intake, high-fiber foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), and natural remedies like soaked prunes or flax seeds. Regular physical activity and avoiding processed foods also support better digestion. If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s best to consult a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Experiencing constipation for several days can be uncomfortable, but adjusting your diet and habits may help relieve the symptoms. Start by increasing your fiber intake, which can help to bulk up and soften your stool, making it easier to pass. Foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes like beans and lentils are great sources of fiber. Aim for about 25-30 grams of fiber per day, but increase this gradually to prevent bloating. Drink plenty of water, too; aiming for at least 8-10 cups per day can help keep the stool soft.

Incorporate foods that encourage bowel movement, like prunes or prune juice, which contain sorbitol—a natural laxative. Regular eating patterns can also aid bowel movements, so try not to skip meals and consider eating smaller, more frequent meals to stimulate your intestines. Exercise can be quite beneficial as well, so engage in moderate physical activity like walking, which can naturally help move things along in your digestive tract.

Avoid foods that might worsen constipation such as excessively processed foods, dairy products in large quantities, or foods high in fat and sugar. Be cautious with caffeinated drinks and alcohol, which can be dehydrating. If these changes don’t improve your symptoms or you experience severe pain, blood in stool, or unexpected weight loss, it’s important to see a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions. A professional can offer specific medical interventions or check for underlying causes requiring more than dietary adjustments.
