Patient's question:
Recently, I've been constipated and my body has suffered greatly. It hurts a lot, and I know it's probably because I don't drink enough water. Besides not liking vegetables, my best friend suggested I could eat oatmeal. Hello, is it effective to eat oatmeal for constipation?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, oatmeal is a coarse fiber food, but it cannot be used to treat constipation with oatmeal. It is recommended to do some aerobic exercise appropriately during the day, which can also promote gastrointestinal movement. At the same time, drink plenty of water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and try to eat less fried, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods. Always maintain regular bowel movements and a regular lifestyle, do not overwork, and ensure sufficient deep sleep.
