Lack of fiber in diet is the most common cause. Fiber is present in fruits and vegetables. Green leafy vegetables, oats, broccoli, chickpeas(chhole), red beans(rajma) and pumpkin are rich in fibers. Reduced water intake is another reason for chronic constipation. Increasing water intake and taking plenty of fluids in different forms will help in relieving constipation. You can take isapgol husk for a certain period of time to immediately relieve constipation. It should be taken twice a day with plenty of water to be effective. As your constipation improves shift to high fiber diet mentioned above.
