When constipation goes on for months at a time, it’s considered chronic. Your doctor will need to find out what’s causing it. But before she suggests medications to treat it, she may first suggest you make some changes in your daily life. She may recommend you:
Eat more fiber. Pack your plate with lots of veggies, fruits, and whole grains and don’t eat too many low-fiber foods like dairy and meat.

Drink more water. Your digestive system needs water to help flush things out.
Exercise . This helps the muscles in your digestive system work better, so solids can move through more smoothly. Try to be active every day of the week, if your doctor says it’s OK.
