Is Idli Good For Constipation? - #60237

I am feeling pretty frustrated with this whole constipation thing, like it has been weeks and I’m just not finding relief. I tried all this stuff, but nothing seems to work, and I keep reading about this constipation relief diet. I have been eating more fiber, you know, fruits and veggies, but it’s like my body is just not responding. Ugh! Someone mentioned idli is good for constipation, but I'm not sure if that's true or if it’s just another food that sounds good. Like, I really want to know, what foods relieve constipation quickly? I’m tired of feeling bloated and uncomfortable, and it’s affecting everything! I have heard that some fruits can really help—what’s the deal with that? Which fruit loosens stool best, seriously? Is there a specific diet I can follow or some meals that I should totally avoid? I mean, do I have to go full-on detox here or is it just a matter of tweaking what I eat? It just feels overwhelming sometimes, and I want to get this sorted out. Any suggestions on what I should be putting on my plate? Thanks!

Q: Is idli good for constipation?
A: Idli, a fermented rice and lentil dish, can be beneficial for constipation due to its fiber content and probiotic properties, which support gut health. Including idli in a balanced diet can help improve digestion and promote regular bowel movements.
