Gastroenterologist Shares Dietary Tips Using Sweet Potatoes and Fruits to Relieve Constipation
Gastroenterologist Dr. Joseph Salhab highlights dietary approaches to relieve constipation and improve gut health. He recommends eating sweet potatoes baked, cooled, and reheated to increase resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Additionally, he lists 11 fruits rich in fiber, water, and natural laxatives like sorbitol and pectin—such as cherries, prunes, and kiwis—that can soften stools and promote regular bowel movements. These natural options may help ease constipation linked to low fiber, dehydration, or sluggish digestion.
