The article discusses a viral video by Instagrammer @Lilsipper (Bethany), who claims that eating an entire orange, coated with cinnamon and cayenne pepper, including the peel, can cure constipation in about five minutes. Bethany, known for sharing low-sugar recipes for Irritable Bowel Syndrome sufferers, notes that oranges contain naringenin, a flavonoid beneficial for constipation. However, experts disagree with this quick-fix approach, stating that the fiber in oranges or any food cannot relieve constipation so rapidly. They advise consulting a doctor if constipation persists for more than three weeks.
