Sometimes commas can be used after words or phrases like "for instance", "e.g.", "i.e.", etc., as shown below.
He is not very fast, i.e., he is too overweight to run quickly.
This is just another example using different words--no new comma rules are introduced here.
There were many foods at the party, e.g., chicken, cookies, and cake.
"i.e." means "that is" and "e.g." means "for example". In the above sentence you can also see the use of commas in the series of items (chicken, cookies, and cake). Just a little side-note.
