Additionally, oxidative stress and inflammation caused by constipation might disrupt intestinal homeostasis and potentially interact with the effects of dietary fiber (14)
By reducing excessive inflammatory signaling while preserving necessary immune responses, it supports tissue stability and recovery without compromising defense mechanisms
