He also distinguishes between general chronic constipation and IBS-C, where abdominal pain is a defining feature. This episode provides a compassionate, shame-free starting point for anyone who has felt stuck, ignored, or embarrassed by their symptoms. If you're ready to understand what's really happening in your body and begin moving toward a more comfortable future, this conversation is for you.
