Constipation can be caused by low fiber intake and dehydration regardless of the types of food eaten.
I recommend eating plenty of fiber and drinking enough fluid.
Alternatively, you could make smoothies with aloe vera (buy the leaf, cut it open, and put the gel in the blender with some water and blend for no more than 10 seconds so as not to destroy the nutrients) -Aloe has some laxative properties and will keep you going regularly without an excess laxative effect.
Aloe is worth a try. This isn't conventional constipation, it is nerve related and influenced more by outside factors such as cold.
Well, biologically, we cannot "need" carbs as we have no carbohydrate requirement. I assume you are meaning that some "feel" better with carbs or like to have them for variety, social reasons, or need them in a psychological sense.
I didn't exactly mean that I required carbs, nor do I believe we actually need them. My intake at the time was mostly protein, with little fat or carbs. I needed energy, no fat avaliable, so I resorted to carbs. Some work better than others, but trying rice was a mistake.
Just find fruits that agree with you.
This is easier now that it's summer, cold weather means my digestive system is even more disabled. With increased temperature, I can tolerate more foods. I am particularly sensitive to sour fruits, I eat them sparingly and with another food to absorb acidity.
