There are several things you can do to prevent constipation. Among them:
1. Eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of fiber. Good sources of fiber are fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole-grain bread and cereal (especially bran). Fiber and water help the colon pass stool.
2. Drink 1 1/2 to 2 quarts of water and other fluids a day (unless fluid restricted for another medical condition).
Liquids that contain caffeine, such as coffee and soft drinks, seem to have a dehydrating effect and may need to be avoided until your bowel habits return to normal.
Some people may need to avoid milk, as dairy products may be constipating for them.
3. Exercise regularly.
4. Move your bowels when you feel the urge.
