Patient's question:
Recently, I've found that my bowel movement frequency is very low, and it feels particularly difficult when I go to the bathroom. Due to being busy at work recently, I haven't sought treatment yet. What vegetables are good for constipation?Doctor's answer:
Patients can consume more brown rice and milled rice with bran, as well as coarse grains like corn, millet, and barley. Additionally, root vegetables and seaweed are rich in dietary fiber, such as burdock, carrots, green beans, red beans, peas, potatoes, and wakame. Nutrient-rich foods can be chosen, such as white fungus, almonds, and honey. These foods not only contain high-quality proteins and lipids but also have the effect of softening the stool and promoting bowel movement. After the condition stabilizes, it is still important to avoid foods (stimulating foods) and foods that are excessively cold or hot. Avoid greasy and difficult-to-digest foods. It is recommended to maintain a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and pay attention to rest. Maintain regular eating and living habits, consume easily digestible foods, and, if necessary, intravenous fluid treatment is advised.
