Consuming fiber-rich foods is essential for relieving constipation and firm stools. Include fresh seasonal fruits and more of green leafy vegetables. Whole grains, cereals, and legumes can also help soften your feces. Drinking plenty of water is important because it keeps things flowing in the digestive tract. Avoid processed foods, which can exacerbate constipation. Consuming vegetable soups without straining and trying out vegetable and fruit smoothies can also be beneficial in reliving constipation along salads too.
Rice and curd are generally safe for most individuals, but excessive consumption might be harmful. Rice can sometimes cause constipation if not balanced with fiber, as white rice lacks fiber content.
Buttermilk and curd cannot be compared as both provide have probiotic properties. It is just the form that differs. Choose the one which you like and listen to your body.

Constipation and hard stools can be managed with the right diet and hydration.
Dietary Recommendations:
Increase Fiber Intake: Include whole grains (jowar, bajra, oats), vegetables (spinach, bottle gourd, carrots), and fruits (papaya, prunes, figs).
Hydration is Key: Drink at least 2.5-3 liters of water daily. Warm water in the morning helps bowel movements.
Healthy Fats: Include ghee, nuts, and seeds (flaxseeds, chia seeds) to soften stools.
Fermented Foods: Buttermilk and curd aid digestion.
Curd & rice does not cause constipation unless you have a sluggish gut or consume it without enough fiber. Always pair it with fibrous vegetables or a side of salad.
Next Steps
Soak few raisins overnight and eat them in the morning (unless diabetic).
1 tsp soaked chia/flax seeds in warm water before bed can help.
Avoid excessive tea, coffee, and refined foods as they can worsen constipation.
If the issue persists, a personalized diet plan can help. Let me know if you need further guidance!

More fibre and complex carbohydrates rich diet will help you. But for a longer run if you want to cure it permanently get your constitution (vata/pita/kapha) check and go accordingly. If there are disturbances internally you should focus first to improve the inner health to get it fix.

Eat fiber rich food. Vegetables, green leafy vegetables, fruits. Drink plenty of water. Drink lukewarm water 2-3 times a day. Consuming rice with good amount of fiber rich vegetables won't harm. You have to eat a lot of vegetables with Rice. You can also replace your white rice with brown rice. As it contains more fiber.
Curd and Buttermilk both are probiotics.
