Are You Constipated?
It sounds like a straightforward question, but the reality is that there’s a shockingly high proportion of people who don’t even realize that they’re constipated! See, the issue is that most folks think of constipation as how often we have a bowel movement, or being unable to… let that $h#t go.
That’s simply not the way it works. There is far more to this than just bowel movement frequency and ability — in fact you can have diarrhea and still be constipated.
I’ve spent my career as a gastroenterologist treating patients battling constipation that think something else is the culprit behind their health issues.
