5 foods that may support colon comfort and regular bowel movements 💩

Prunes have been studied for constipation relief and stool consistency.
Kiwi has been studied for bowel movement frequency and gut comfort.
Oatmeal provides fiber.
Lentils provide fiber and help add bulk.
Pears provide fiber and naturally contain sorbitol.

Important:
No single food can “fix” constipation or heal the colon.
Fiber works best with enough fluids, and persistent constipation should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
