Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Eating corn does not cause constipation. Corn is a type of coarse grain that contains abundant dietary fiber and various trace elements, which can promote gastrointestinal motility after consumption, thus preventing constipation. Constipation in patients may be caused by factors such as lack of physical exercise leading to slow gastrointestinal motility, and it can generally be relieved through massage.
