31 Foods To Help You Deal With Constipation

15. Okra

Okra is one of those vegetables that you either love or your hate, mostly because of the mucilaginous fiber you see when you cut it open. This soluble fiber in the center of this vegetable can become incredibly gooey and almost mucus-like, making it gross for some but very helpful when it comes to your digestive tract. It’s actually the mucilaginous fiber that works to soften the stool and get any backed up poop out of your system, relieving annoying and stubborn constipation.
