Key Takeaways
AIGastroenterologist and nutrition expert Dr. Yulia Krasnaya has confirmed that skipping breakfast does not cause gastritis, while a lack of fiber and water can contribute to constipation.
She added that eating a heavy dinner before bedtime may worsen heartburn, as some people skip both breakfast and lunch and only have a full meal in the evening, which can lead to digestive problems, according to Russia Today.
The specialist also noted that fast food and carbonated drinks can increase belching and bloating. Following a low-fiber diet that lacks vegetables, fruits, grains, and legumes, along with insufficient water intake, raises the risk of constipation.
