Solution:

Constipation is a condition in which faeces are held in the rectum and bowel movements are irregular.

Indigestion occurs when food is not properly digested, resulting in a sense of fullness.

Constipation is caused by insufficient enzyme secretion, anxiety, and food poisoning, whereas indigestion is caused by inadequate enzyme secretion, anxiety, and food poisoning.
