Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Abdominal distension and constipation may result from unhealthy dietary habits. For instance, recent binge eating or excessive consumption of greasy foods can slow intestinal motility, leading to symptoms of abdominal distension and constipation. Additionally, gastrointestinal dysfunction can also cause these symptoms. It is recommended to increase intake of foods rich in dietary fiber, which helps alleviate these symptoms.
