Fruits that can help you poop when you're constipated:
- Kiwis. "You can eat the skin to get about 50 percent more fiber," and "kiwis have also been shown to be comparable to prunes in treating constipation";
- Yellow dragon fruit. "It's a natural prebiotic, which means it helps the good bacteria in your gut grow and thrive";
- Berries. They're high in "both fiber and water to help soften stools." They're also full of antioxidants that are "important for gut and liver health";
- Apples. "The pectin in apples has been shown to relieve constipation by speeding up the movement of the colon";
- Pears. "They contain sorbitol, a naturally occurring sugar alcohol that acts as a natural laxative."
