What are the treatment options to cure constipation?
The first treatment for constipation is to eat a high fiber diet to provide natural bulk in daily food intake. Dietary fiber, often called roughage, is a portion of food that passes through the intestine and colon almost unchanged. Undigested fiber holds water to keep the stool soft and adds bulk which helps move stool to the rectum. Most Americans eat very little roughage and this is often a major factor in the cause of constipation.
