25 Foods To Eat To Avoid Constipation

9. Flaxseeds

Much like oatmeal, flaxseeds have both soluble and insoluble fiber, and just one tablespoon of ground flaxseeds has at least 2 grams of fiber. Considered a power food, these tiny seeds aren’t only rich in fiber, but there’s evidence that suggests they reduce the risk of cancer, stroke, heart disease and diabetes. In addition to that, the fact that they can be tossed on basically anything and everything make them an easy solution to adding fiber to your diet. This also means that they are quite handy in making sure you don’t have to deal with bothersome and painful constipation.
