25 Foods To Eat To Avoid Constipation

17. Whole Wheat Bread

This probably isn’t the first time you’ll hear about whole wheat bread being a better choice over refined white bread. The reason behind this is because the fiber content of whole wheat bread is that the nutrient-rich components like bran, germ and endosperm remain intact. White bread, on the other hand, keeps only the endosperm, stripping away the healthier contents and leaving mostly starch. While the fiber and bran will definitely work to help with constipation, it can also have a bloating effect so be careful of how much you eat.
