What is the best fruit to combat constipation? Nutritionist Sonia Narang reveals top foods to beat the bloat

Nutritionist Sonia Narang named papaya as the best fruit for constipation, citing its natural digestive enzyme papain that breaks down proteins and prevents sluggish gut transit.

She recommended sweet potato as the top vegetable for its high insoluble fibre and water content, which add bulk to stool and promote steady intestinal contractions.

Khapli wheat flour (emmer wheat), flax seeds, almonds, and water were also listed as best picks across flour, seeds, nuts, and fluid categories.
