Question

What are the causes of severe indigestion and constipation?

Answer

Severe constipation is often due to dysregulation of the gastrointestinal tract and imbalances in the microbiome. You can take probiotics for nourishment, increase your intake of vegetables, avoid consuming excessive amounts of spicy, irritating, or greasy foods, drink plenty of warm water to promote bowel movement, and perform clockwise abdominal massage. Additionally, avoid cold exposure, have meals at regular times, avoid overeating, and you can also take laxative medications. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
