25 Foods To Eat To Avoid Constipation

5. Oatmeal

Love it or hate it, oatmeal happens to be one of the best types of food you can eat to get more fiber in your system. Plus when it comes to the fiber world, it has 2 grams of insoluble and 2 grams of soluble fiber, making it a powerhouse when it comes to making your bowels move. The insoluble fiber works to add bulk to stool in order to make food pass quicker through the stomach and intestines. Soluble fiber, on the other hand, dissolves in water which then forms a gel-like substance, and when they work together, they soften the stool which makes it easier to go.
