There is no such miraculous food that gives instant results but you may regularize your stools with proper high fiber foods and taking good amount of fluids. Fiber foods include Pears, strawberries, apple, oat meal, brown rice, banana, broccoli, green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach), avocado, carrots, tomato, beans and sweet potato.

I've been really constipated and my USG showed gaseous distension in the stomach are there any treatments besides medicines to get rid of the gas? Like, could surgery or something else help? It's pretty urgent and I'm not sure what to do

For gaseous distension and constipation, lifestyle changes like increasing fiber intake, hydration, and regular exercise can help. Surgery is rarely needed unless there’s a structural issue causing the gas retention.

I'm having a lot of trouble with gas choking near my heart when I have dinner at 9 pm. It's making it really hard for me to sleep. Whenever I try to rest, I wake up feeling uncomfortable around my heart. I'm also smoking about 4 cigarettes a day. Could this be causing these issues? What should I do?

It sounds like you might be experiencing acid reflux or indigestion, which can cause discomfort near your heart, especially after a late meal. Smoking can also contribute to this. Try to avoid heavy meals before bed and consider quitting smoking for better heart and digestive health. If the discomfort persists, its important to consult a doctor for further evaluation.
