Are certain foods bad for digestion?

Q: I have heard that certain foods (dairy and meat, for example) are terrible for digestion and can be constipating. Is this true? ­-Kim

A: Dairy and meat do not provide any fiber, but they will not constipate you if there is sufficient fiber in your diet from other foods, such as beans, vegetables, whole grains and fruit. Aim for 35 grams of fiber daily.
