Nutrition regulates the digestion. In the event of constipation, taking in more liquids in the form of herbal teas, fruit juice or water can lead to improvement. Prunes or syrup of figs together with fluids and fermented milk products like yoghurt have a natural laxative effect. In the event of diarrhoea, on the other hand, easily digested foods are suitable: cooked vegetables, rice, fish, potatoes, lean meat. You should avoid foods that cause flatulence, such as pulses, onions or cauliflower. As with everything, check with your health care professionals if you are unsure on which foods to consume.
