31 Foods To Help You Deal With Constipation

14. Rhubarb

Almanac

Not everyone enjoys the incredibly tart flavor of rhubarbs, which is why they aren’t a part of everyone’s diet. However, for those that enjoy their strong taste, they are also partaking of the fact that they’re incredibly rich in vitamin K. In addition, rhubarb actually has more calcium than one cup of milk, however it doesn’t necessarily digest well in the body. When it comes to constipation, it has sennoside A – also known as Senna – a bowel-stimulating property that is very popular in home or natural laxative remedies. The plant itself cannot be eaten, but usually it’s the stalks that are cut up and boiled to be added to meals, pies or other types of food. However, they can be toxic if eaten in large quantities so people need to take caution as well when eating them.
