Insoluble fiber does not dissolve in water, thus providing bulk and moisture to the stool. Both types of fiber are good for constipation. Since both types are found in all plant foods, it is not necessary to try to remember which foods are a good source of which type of fiber. However, too much fiber too soon can be hard on your system and may add to symptoms of gas and bloating.
The most effective medications for constipation are stool softeners. These work by drawing water into the bowel to 'flush' out the stool. They include lactulose, sorbitol or, most commonly, polyethylene glycol (PEG 3350) . Polyethylene glycol is safe for children and can be used long-term.
