Foods That Make You Constipated

Red Meat

Red meat has high fat, no fiber, and may be salted.Constipation is linked to red meat consumption. Red meat's fat content makes you feel full, leaving less room for fiber-rich foods.

Persimmon

Persimmons are tasty and healthy, but they induce constipation. Tannins in persimmons, especially astringent ones, impede digestion and cause constipation.

Cake

The high-fat, low-fiber elements in most cakes impede digestion and cause constipation. Cake has a lot of fat and high sugar, which takes a long time to digest.

Potato Chip

If you have constipation, the salty crunch may be tasty but not good for you. Salt dehydrates the gastrointestinal system, delaying digestion.
