A diet for constipation can be determined for you with a bit of understanding about what foods are good and bad in a constipation diet. Constipation can be infrequent bowel movements or regular movements that are hard to pass. A constipation diet can help.
Diet and constipation go hand in hand. We all know that. Everyone has an opinion about a diet for constipation and what should be eaten and what should not.
A constipation diet may have more variables to it than the average person takes into consideration. There is a diet for constipation that can help the constipation and there are foods that constipate.
Let’s talk about how to design your diet for constipation by first talking about foods that constipate and should not be eaten.
#1 Food to Avoid in a Diet for Constipation
Dairy products. Easily, the #1 food villain that can have adverse effects on your gastrointestinal system. The simple elimination of all dairy from your diet may actually be all that’s required to ease your constipation.
Eliminating dairy in your constipation diet isn’t as easy as you may think. Please review these rules to learn how disciplined you must be to make sure you find all the hidden dairy in your diet.
Foods to eliminate in a diet for constipation begins with the elimination of every cow dairy product except butter. The obvious dairy products are just that: all liquid milks, cheeses, ice cream, sour cream, cottage cheese, cream cheese and yogurt.
These constipating foods might also be contained in products with ingredient list that you have currently in your home: milk, cheese, lactose, whey and casein. Do not ignore this advice as you may be surprised where they hide dairy products.

Simple Tips in a Diet for Constipation
Make sure you are eating enough food. If you are only eating half your daily required caloric intake, it makes sense you may only have a bowel movement every other day. Some people actually only eat a third of the necessary calories. They may have a bowel movement every third day or more.
Water. If you are dehydrated because you don’t drink enough water daily…6-8 glasses per day is important in a diet for constipation. If you don’t do this, your stools can become very hard or difficult to pass.
And, as usual with anything, a simple diet for constipation may not be all that is needed to do to get rid of your constipation. In addition to understanding a constipation diet, the use of all natural supplements may be required. Low levels of good bacteria (probiotics) in your bowels and imbalanced gut chemistry may also be contributing. Dr. Dahlman has a natural treatment program to use if a constipation diet is not enough.
