Default tang has a swollen stomach

My yellow eye kole tang has a very swollen stomach. Today was the first day that she hasn't eaten. She still looks healthy and every other fish appears healthy as well. It doesn't look like dropsy. I was hoping to see if anybody may have any ideas.

It doesn't look very swollen in that picture, it says eight views but I only see one photo

Yes the photo doesn't do it any justice. It's almost like the fish is super constipated. I tried to feed more veggies so I'm hoping that works.

Fish do get constipated sometimes. If you haven't switched foods though, I don't really know how that happens. I've heard a freshwater dip helps. Dunno whether you want to stress the fish out catching it and dipping it if you don't know if thats the problem though.
