Laxative #9: Kefir
Kefir is a fermented milk product that contains probiotics. Probiotics are beneficial gut bacteria that have been thought to help boost digestive health and improve immune function. Studies have shown that the consumption of probiotics can help improve the speed of intestinal transit and stool consistency.
Kefir is a natural laxative as it has been found to bulk up stools and add moisture to stools. A study in 2014 observed the effects of kefir on their participants who consumed 500 ml of kefir daily and found that there were improvements in stool consistency, frequency, and decrease in use of laxatives.
