Consume More Probiotics
Probiotics are gut-friendly bacteria. Many are produced naturally in your gut and help improve your digestion. They may help treat chronic constipation, especially when it is caused by an imbalance of bacteria in your gut.
A recent study found that probiotic consumption for two weeks [8] can help treat constipation. Most studies have used probiotics in foods, but studies [9] using probiotic supplements have also reported benefits in constipated people.
You get probiotics by eating more probiotic-rich foods or by using supplements. Probiotic-rich foods that can help with constipation include yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut.
