Constipation has become such a daily struggle for me, so uncomfortable. My mom keeps telling me to eat banana but i always thought banana does the opposite? Confused, does it actually help?
My husband is in the medical field and he always says to drink plenty of fluids if you're eating fiber-rich fruits like bananas. If the constipation is severe or painful, don't take any laxatives without asking your gynac.
According to my pregnancy app, staying hydrated is super important when increasing fiber intake with bananas. The tracker helped me drink 3 liters of water daily, which solved my constipation issues.
Honestly, eating one fully ripe banana every morning with warm milk worked wonders for me. I didn't take any medicines, just relied on this personal routine.
Yes dear, ripe bananas are actually very helpful for digestion because they have good fiber. I always advise moms to avoid green or semi-ripe ones though, as they can make constipation worse.
Listen, just eating bananas won't help if u are sitting all day and not drinking water. Drink lots of water, eat high-fiber food, and do some light walking if allowed.
I used to panic thinking bananas would cause a cold or make digestion heavier, but later found it's totally normal and safe. Just eat them during the day, not late at night.
