Hello docor,

I have been having constipation issues for some time. I know that fruits and vegetables can help this issue, but I do not like to have them as a whole. So, will consuming fruit and vegetable smoothies solve this problem? Also, suggest some medicines for the same? Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. Fruits and vegetable consumption will help to solve the constipation problem. However, it is best when consumed as a whole rather than smoothies. But, if it is impossible for you, you can have smoothies but cannot say about the results.

Thank you.
