How does tight lacing affect the digestive system?
Tight lacing compresses and shifts the internal organs. It can reduce the stomach’s volume, leading to indigestion and heartburn, and pressure on the intestines can cause constipation. It can also press the liver against the ribs, sometimes causing accessory lobes to form. Tight lacing may additionally cause shortness of breath and faintness.
