Constipation isn’t any fun. Our bowel movements are supposed to be easy, regular, and without much effort on our parts. In fact, when you’re eating right, it shouldn’t be a problem having regular bowel movements that pass effortlessly. You should be enjoying the time we get alone on the toilet, maybe reading a book or doing a crossword puzzle. You shouldn’t be straining and striving to get out a few little pieces. Your stool should be healthy-looking, come out quickly, and not cause any pain or harm when it’s exciting.
So, how do you achieve this? You simply change your diet. You get out all the bad stuff that is making it hard to poop, and you replace those foods with real foods that make pooping regular, easy, and effortless. We’re supposed to be eating plenty of fiber, drinking water, and exercising regularly. All these things help with bowel movements. But, if you’re eating the wrong foods, you still might have trouble. We’re going to take a look at the to 21 foods that cause constipation. You should remove these from your diet as soon as you can so you can get back to enjoying your daily bathroom routine.
1. Bananas
Bananas are a food that many people know can cause bowel irregularities. You may be alright if you eat one banana, but for banana fanatics, it may be best to curb the habit. Many new mothers make the mistake of giving their babies bananas as a first food, but this may not be a good idea if the infant does not have diarrhea. Try mashed carrots instead of an avocado. Bananas may cause constipation when they are unripe, but when they are ripe, they can actually help get things moving.
