Increasing intake of foods that contain insoluble fiber can help promote regular bowel movements and relieve constipation by adding bulk to the stool and stimulating bowel contractions. Restricting fluid intake and using colon cleansing enemas daily can cause dehydration and disrupt the natural bowel movement process. Reducing intake of fruits and vegetables can also worsen constipation by reducing fiber and nutrient intake.
