Hello,
There can be various issues with indigestion as fiber deficiency in food, lack of oral liquids intake, digestive enzyme disturbances, hemorroids or else.
Best of the recovery tips are
- drink more liquids
- high fiber diet
- bulk-forming laxative including ispaghula husk
- regular mobilization and exercises
Consult your GP as per the progress of the condition and further need.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
