Fatty Foods
You might want to pass on the burger and fries. Most of your greasy or fried favorites have a high fat content. Fatty foods can trigger strong intestinal contractions, changing the speed at which food travels through your digestive system. Many people experience constipation or diarrhea after a high-fat meal. To relieve the pressure on your digestive system, aim to eat small, low-fat meals throughout the day.
