If you deal with constipation, bloating, hard stools, or slow digestion, these are 10 foods that may help keep things moving.

Foods for constipation relief:

1️⃣ Prunes: a classic food for constipation
2️⃣ Apples: we like them with a tiny bit of salt + Korean chili flakes or Tajín
3️⃣ Grape-Nuts cereal: we like it with raspberries or sliced strawberries + stevia
4️⃣ Pumpkin: pumpkin ravioli and crustless pumpkin pie are favorites
5️⃣ String beans: air fry fresh string beans with olive oil + Cajun seasoning at 390° for 8 mins
6️⃣ Mango: good by itself or with Korean chili flakes or Tajín
7️⃣ Watermelon: good alone, with chili flakes or Tajín, or as agua fresca
8️⃣ Cantaloupe: same as watermelon
9️⃣ Cucumber: good alone, with chili flakes or Tajín, as agua fresca, or as Korean cucumber kimchi
🔟 Zucchini: we like it puréed into tomato pasta sauce or as zucchini bread
👉🏼 Extra constipation helpers:
- Senna tea 🍵 is a stimulant laxative. It works by helping the intestines move stool through faster.
- MiraLAX 🚽 is an osmotic laxative. It works by pulling water into the stool to soften it and make it easier to pass.
⚠️ Important warning: Do not take Senna tea and MiraLAX together unless your doctor tells you to. Also, be careful taking either one with these foods above if they already help you go number 2 because that can lead to urgent, watery, explosive diarrhea 💩 💦 (Not joking! 👀)
