When it comes to constipation, there are certain foods that may exacerbate symptoms and should be avoided or limited. These include:
Low fiber foods: Foods that are low in fiber can contribute to constipation. This includes processed foods, white bread, white rice, and most types of pasta. Instead, choose whole grain options that are higher in fiber.
Red meat: Red meat, can be difficult to digest and may contribute to constipation.
Fried and fatty foods: Fried foods, fast foods, and other high-fat foods can slow down digestion and lead to constipation.
Alcohol and caffeine: Both alcohol and caffeine can contribute to dehydration, which can worsen constipation.
As for meat-based soups, mutton and chicken can be included in a constipation-friendly diet, but it's important to choose a broth that is low in fat and not too salty. Excessive salt can contribute to dehydration and worsen constipation.
In terms of specific vegetables, both cauliflower and mushrooms are generally well-tolerated and can be included in a constipation-friendly diet. However, it's important to note that everyone's digestive system is different, and certain individuals may have sensitivities or intolerances to certain foods.
When it comes to vegetables, it's generally recommended to include a variety of high-fiber vegetables in your diet to help promote regular bowel movements. Some examples of high-fiber vegetables and foods include:
Leafy greens, such as spinach, kale, and collard greens
Broccoli
Brussels sprouts
Carrots
Sweet potatoes
Peas and beans
Artichokes
Asparagus
Papaya
Guava
Citrus fruits
Prunes
A high fiber diet can be beneficial for digestive health because it promotes regularity and helps prevent constipation. Fiber adds bulk to the stool, which makes it easier to pass and prevents stool from becoming hard and difficult to pass. However, if you don't drink enough water while consuming a high fiber diet, it can lead to constipation. This is because fiber absorbs water as it moves through the digestive system, and without enough water, the stool can become compacted and difficult to eliminate.
Water is very important in preventing and treating constipation. When you are constipated, your stool becomes dry and hard, which can make it difficult to pass. Drinking enough water is essential for keeping your stool soft and easy to pass.
Dehydration is a common cause of constipation. When you don't drink enough water, your body tries to conserve it by pulling water from the colon, which can result in hard and dry stool. Drinking enough water helps to keep your stool soft and your bowel movements regular.

Hi,
Only diet is not responsible alone for constipation. Other factors such as poor water intake, less sleep, lack of physical activity & sunshine, stress etc play a significant role in gut health.
As far as Diets are concerned, take fiber rich diet so that they can add bulk to the stools. Avoid processed, preserved, packaged & outside food completely. Avoid fried, baked items & red meats. Vegetables such as Broccoli, celery & leafy greens should be eaten in moderation.
