HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Constipation can be treated by : (1) ensuring that you use enough fiber. This means at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily
Using whole grain rice/pasta/bread would also help
If you are not able to use enough fiber in your diet then you should try a fiber supplement eg metamucil, benefiber, cetrucil
(2)use enough fluid- at least 8 glasses of fluid daily (not including caffeine or alcohol)
(3)physical activity
I hope this helps
