31 Foods To Help You Deal With Constipation

22. Oat Bran

Oat bran happens to be the outer casting portion of the oat grain, and this is the portion that contains most of the fiber in its more natural form. Although quick oats tends to be the more popular and easy choice, oat bran has almost twice the amount of fiber than they do, with both soluble and insoluble fiber as well. Not only does it add bulk to your stool, making it easier to move your bowels when needed, it can also help lower bad cholesterol while being an additional source of protein, calcium, iron and complex carbs.
