🥝 Foods To Eat When You’re Super Constipated

Foods to eat when you're super constipated. Number one are kiwis. Kiwis contain an enzyme called actinidin that pushes food through the intestine. Number two are prunes. Prunes contain a natural sugar alcohol named sorbitol that we don't digest well. So, when you eat these, it goes right through you. Number three are pears, which people usually leave out, but this contains the same sugar alcohol as the prunes, and it causes a gentle laxative effect. Number four are figs. Figs contain ficin, which helps to break down food in your gut so nothing sticks around and sits there too long. Number five is dragon fruit. Dragon fruit contains prebiotic oligosaccharides that have been shown to increase our gut motility. And number six is good old coffee, but not for the reason you might think. According to the science that we have, 29% of people will have a laxative effect after they drink their morning cup of coffee. And this goes for regular coffee and even decaf, as well, which shows that caffeine is not actually the reason that you're going to the bathroom. For anyone dealing with bloating or anything like that on top of their constipation, making sure that you're fully emptying every single day is going to go a long way in helping you to feel better.
