What can be done to relieve constipation?

To relieve constipation, it is recommended to increase your intake of fiber-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and oats, as well as drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to help soften stools. In addition to dietary adjustments, over-the-counter products are available at pharmacies that can help with constipation. If you have noticed only partial effectiveness with a particular product, you can consider doubling the dose, but it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional or pharmacist before making any changes to your medication regimen.
