· Drink plenty of water. This can keep your poop from getting too hard and dry.
· Eat more fiber. Fruit, vegetables, and whole grains, such as oatmeal and popcorn, all add fiber to your diet. And fiber can keep things moving.
· Ask your parents to use olive oil and other healthy oils in their cooking. This can help make you pass poop more easily.
· Exercise. Throw a ball with your friends, ride your bike, or shoot a few hoops. Activity helps you go to the bathroom regularly. In other words, if you get moving, your bowels will, too!
