This might only be me, but when I'm constipated, my go to is hydration and lettuce.
I'll get myself a nice big salad, and eat it super fast. The idea is that if you eat it fast, you won't chew as much. The partially unchewed lettuce can help irritate your guts into doing a bit of a clean cycle. (Plus, veggies are already great for constipation.)
Best of luck, and wishing a healthy one for you soon haha.
That's a good tip. My personal choice is celery. Celery has higher water content, and more insoluble fibre than lettuce. And you can eat it pretty quickly too.
