Constipation is usually attributed to lack of fiber in the diet. When adding fiber, you also have to add fluids - otherwise, the fiber will have the opposite effect.

You can add fiber naturally using vegetables, bran breakfast cereal, and fruit; or you can buy soluble fiber supplements from the drug store.

n people without medical problems, the main intervention is to increase the intake of fluids (preferably water) and dietary fiber. The latter may be achieved by consuming more vegetables and fruit and whole meal bread, and by adding linseeds to one's diet. The routine non-medical use of laxatives is to be discouraged as this may result in bowel action becoming dependent upon their use. Enemas can be used to provide a form of mechanical stimulation.
In alternative and traditional medicine, colonic irrigation, enemas, exercise, diet and herbs are used to treat constipation. The mechanism of the herbal, enema, and colonic irrigation treatments often include the breakdown of impacted and hardened fecal matter
Laxatives may be necessary in people in whom dietary intervention is not effective or is inappropriate. Most laxatives can be safely used long-term, although some are associated with cramping and bloatedness and can cause the phenomenon of melanosis coli.

If you eat high fat foods, try switching to healthier options low in fat.
And try to get at least 50% of your daily dietary fiber, foods high in fiber help promote a healthy digestive system, thus reducing constipation.

Also, don't forget to drink lots of water.
