Hi, Constipation is always a challenge. Im vegan yet still suffer chronic constipation . If you can tolerate milk of magnesia it acts pretty quickly. Also, magnesiium supplements might help but make sure with doctor that its okay. Ground flax or chia seeds are a good way to get fiber and omega oils.

My biggest fault is slowing down on water intake. If you make part of you fluids probiotic , even better. I was making kombucha which really helps constipation. Now I just dilute with lots of water so I can avoid extra sugar. If you eat kim chee, pickles , sauerkraut or other femented veggies you can get that probiotic. Yogurt, plant-based in my case, is another go to that helps when my digestive tract bogs down.

Hope you find a solution or so, best to you! i
