Constipation: 200+ Expert Talks

About Constipation

Constipation is a frustrating reason people come to DrTalks, especially when fiber and water haven't fixed it. Going days without a bowel movement, straining, feeling like you never fully empty, swinging between constipation and bloating, or a child who's always backed up are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the colon. The videos link a slow gut to an imbalanced microbiome, SIBO, low thyroid, stress and the vagus nerve, nutrient gaps, mold and other toxins, and how well your liver and bile are working. You'll find conversations on gut health and hormones, Hashimoto's, constipation in kids, and why your body needs to eliminate well to detox. Doctors, nutritionists and functional medicine practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from stool testing to nutrient and thyroid panels, and what helps, from fiber, fermented foods and hydration to probiotics, digestive enzymes, binders and calming the nervous system.
