What do you eat when constipated?

[Cookie]

I know there is already a thread to this effect somewhere, but I could not find it. I have been having constipation problems alternating with bouts of D. I have not had much of an appetite and I can't decide what to eat. Logic tells me to eat food that are high in fiber, but my bloated belly really doesn't want any of that. I am curious what everyone eats while constipated. thanks for your help!

Sweet ripe fruit:

Ripe banana
Ripe red papaya
Ripe yellow paw paw

All are fantastic for C & UC, very soothing and easily digestable. Plus healing.

Also soft chia seed gel mixed in vegan green smoothies

All this keeps me regular four times a day. Normal perfect movements. I am so happy I want to show everybody in the house - and yes, that idea goes down like a lead balloon!!

Since I started eating the above, I no longer get constipation or diarrhea.

Takes a while to get into the swing of things, so don't expect overnight results.

Thanks for the info. I do eat a banana every day, but papayas and paw paw are not as readily available where I live. There is a specialty grocery not too far from my house, so maybe I will try to swing by and get some. Sounds like a good idea. Also, where do you buy the chai seed gel...health food store?
