If you are increasing fiber consumption as a remedy for constipation relief, you’d better increase liquid intake if you want it to work. If your stool has bulk due to fiber but lacks enough liquid content, it may give you problems just the same.
If you have to choose a beverage, make it herbal tea. Juices aren’t recommended unless you make them from the actual fruit. Commercial fruit juice is high in refined sugar, one of the main culprits in constipation. If you make natural fruit juice, use a blender rather than a juicer so you can keep most of the fiber in.
Avoid sodas and other caffeinated drinks (coffee is okay) that not only cause constipation but are also highly addictive. If you have a soda craving, drink a cup of hot water instead. A warm/hot cup of water is also a great remedy for constipation relief when taken in the morning.
