While you are undergoing chemotherapy, peristaltic movements of the intestines are sometimes reduced due to the influence of the treatment on the autonomic nerves. Constipation is also caused by the decreased amount of meals and physical activity, as you lose appetite.
If you have constipation, tell the doctor the conditions of your normal defecation, and ask if the constipation is often caused by the side effects of anticancer drugs you are taking, and if you can be prescribed and use any laxatives. Also confirm with your doctor if you can continue the use of your usual laxative medicine (if any).
For meals, it is reported that foods containing a lot of dietary fiber is good for constipation. However, such foods are usually less digestive. If you have no appetite but have constipation, eating things that you can (i.e., digestive foods) should be prioritized. The longer excrement stays in the large intestine, the more dry and solid it becomes. Take sufficient fluids, and form a regular defecating habit.
Try to get the fluids you need from things you can drink. If you have difficulty drinking, eat juicy foods to get the required fluids.
