So the first thing you need to do is integrate more vegetables, fruits and water into your diet. These are the critical foods for constipation. Try to consume at least 20 grams of fiber every day. Beans are an excellent and nutritious way to increase your fiber intake and you will find a wide variety of beans to work into your diet. If you’re concerned about the stereotypical flatulence associated with beans, just gradually integrate them into your diet. As your body acclimates itself to consuming more and more beans over time, you will experience far less gas and bloating as a result of their consumption.

However, if after evaluating your diet and determining you consume plenty of foods for constipation you still experience constipation fairly regularly, you should really see your doctor and explore the possibility of having some form of gluten intolerance. Even if you test negative for celiac disease, you might try a gluten elimination diet to see how your body reacts. If you experience greater regularity and energy after a few weeks of completely eliminating gluten from your diet, it might not be a matter of consuming the right foods for constipation as it is about avoiding the wrong foods for constipation in your specific case.

Some general notes:

• Always be sure to carefully seat the pan in your bread maker. I’ve seen friends disappointed with the performance of their bread machine only to discover they weren’t properly securing the bread pan.
• Always read your manufacturer instructions. Some bread machines may specify a different order for placing wet or dry ingredients into the machine’s pan.
• IMPORTANT: Unless specified otherwise, don’t let the yeast touch the sides of the breakmaker pan or reach the liquid. I create a small, shallow volcano whole for the yeast within the dry ingredients.

Some standard variations to keep in mind:

• Instead of three eggs, try using one egg plus two egg whites. For more leavening, add 1 to 3 teaspoons of egg replacer.
• You might also use our gluten substitutions page as a reference when using these recipes or other recipes you find on the Internet. You might just concoct your own perfect recipe from the methods described therein to substitute gluten in standard bread recipes.
