Did you try Imodium? It contains atropine and works very well.NeoDevin said:Yep, already got the medication, it's not helping much. I was hoping someone could suggest some foods that would stop me right up.

Some common foods that can cause constipation include dairy products, red meat, processed foods, fried foods, and foods high in sugar and fat.
These foods can contribute to constipation because they are low in fiber and high in fat, which can slow down the digestive process and make it harder for stools to pass through the intestines.
While most fruits and vegetables are high in fiber and can help prevent constipation, some people may experience constipation when consuming high amounts of bananas, apples, and potatoes. These foods should still be included in a well-balanced diet, but should be eaten in moderation.
