Bowel changes during Ramadan are very common and usually temporary.
Fasting alters hydration, fibre intake and gut rhythm, which can slow digestion for some people.
Constipation, bloating or heaviness after iftar are often linked to low fluid intake, reduced fibre, and larger meals eaten quickly.
From a nutrition perspective, supporting hydration, fibre intake and gentle movement can help regulate bowel habits.
