Answer

Some common strategies in preventing common digestive problems are primarily changing your diet. For example, if you consume more fiber rich foods, it can reduce digestion problems since soluble fiber creates a gel in the digestive tract to make you full and non-soluble fiber adds bulk to stool. Furthermore, lots of water should be consumed as it helps to replenish the whole digestive system and overall prevents constipation. Lastly another tip is to eat more frequently and avoid overall stress in general.
