Podcasts about Constipation

Struggling with bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, or “food baby” bloat after meals has become so common it's considered “normal.”  In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, FNTP, MHC, sits down with Dr. Arland Hill, DC, MPH, DACBN—Director of Clinical Education at Biotics Research and a 25-year leader in functional medicine—to demystify SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). You'll learn what SIBO is, why it keeps relapsing, and how a root-cause, functional approach can calm symptoms and restore, not just gut health, but overall vitality, for the long haul. They cover the classic SIBO symptoms (bloating, abdominal pain, gas, constipation/diarrhea), how gut inflammation fuels brain inflammation (the gut–brain axis), and why quick fixes—like “nuking” the microbiome or leaning on a low-FODMAP diet—often miss the mark. Dr. Hill explains the body's three antimicrobial digestive secretions—stomach acid, pancreatic enzymes, and bile—plus motility and stress regulation, and how a phased strategy (reduce overgrowth → rebuild defenses → replete what SIBO depleted) can break the relapse cycle. They also discuss targeted probiotics (including Saccharomyces boulardii), when botanicals or antibiotics like rifaximin enter the picture, and why “just eating real, nutrient-dense food” and how you eat (meal spacing, slow, mindful chewing) can be as powerful as what you eat. Whether you've tried “everything” or you're just starting to connect the dots, this conversation gives you a practical roadmap to move beyond masking symptoms and start building foundations. What you'll learn SIBO 101: definition, symptoms, and why it's so common The gut–brain connection: how stress and inflammation impact motility & mood Why long-term low-FODMAP isn't a SIBO solution The role of acid, enzymes, and bile in controlling overgrowth Relapse prevention: phased protocols, motility support, and targeted probiotics Real-food nutrition, meal timing, and simple lifestyle upgrades that help Additional Resources: Ep 11: Digestive Hell (Learn DIGESTION from the NTA's founder, Gray Graham) Bristol Stool Chart   NOTE: While we generally avoid direct affiliation/sales/commissions of products mentioned on the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, we've decided to make these SIBO kits available for purchase.

When you think of constipation, you might think it's having to push really hard, but it can also be passing too little stool, or going too infrequently. But constipation is more than just no pooping enough - it's a gateway to sysemic toxicity, immune issues, hormonal imbalances, bowel diseases, and so much more.If you're not having at least 2 bowel movements a day that pass with minimal effort, you're constipated. In this episode with Functional Nutritionist, Liz Roman ("The Poop Queen"), we're diving into the reason why you're constipated, what it really means, and how you can fix it.   TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: Why you not pooping means that you're not detoxing Why you still feel crappy, even on a healthy diet The connection between bile flow, hormones and constipation Why symptoms like not sweating, feeling puffy or having itchy skin are warning signs of other problems The difference between "detoxing" and "drainage" Healing your skin Avoiding laxatives (and the problems with them) Modern air toxicity How to reverse constipation and have normal bowels again   More from Liz Roman Instagram: @thepoopqueen Website: The Health Revival Show Podcast: Uncover Your Eyes     Leave us a Review: https://www.reversablepod.com/review   Need help with your gut?

I get asked about hiatal hernias all the time inside my program. And usually, the fear goes something like this: “My doctor told me I have a hiatal hernia, and that means I'll always have acid reflux.” Unfortunately, this has caused a LOT of anxiety for my clients. Fortunately - it's WRONG. You can 100% get rid of acid reflux - even with a hiatal hernia. And you may not need surgery to do it. On today's episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about hiatal hernias: ALL the symptoms of hiatal hernia (including the ones you may have never heard of)The hidden causes of hiatal hernia—why it happens in the first placeNatural hiatal hernia treatments that don't involve invasive surgeryAnd how I reversed my own hiatal hernia during pregnancy - and saved myself months of pain and reflux If you've been told that your hiatal hernia will never go away, or that it's the reason you'll always have acid reflux, I hope this episode gives you hope and shows you EXACTLY what you can do about it.

In this episode of the Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, Dr. Whitney reconnects with longtime friend and colleague Dr. Anne-Ming Yeh—Stanford-trained pediatric gastroenterologist, integrative medicine specialist, and author of Constipation Conquered: A Holistic Guide to Your Child's Constipation.Together, they tackle a surprisingly common (and often frustrating) parenting challenge: constipation in kids. Dr. Yeh shares why she wrote her new book, how she blends evidence-based medicine with integrative approaches, and what parents can realistically do to help their kids—from picky toddlers to neurodivergent kids with unique needs.You'll learn:The truth about common constipation myths (spoiler: laxatives aren't evil).How to know whether your child's constipation is mild, moderate, or severe—and when to seek specialist care.Simple prevention tips: the right balance of fluid before fiber, why leafy greens act like a “broomstick for your gut,” and how bananas might be binding.Why the gut-brain connection matters, and how small daily rituals (from tea time to affirmations to Snoop Dogg's kids' album!) can actually support digestion.The difference between “mush” (softening stool) and “push” (helping the colon's muscles coordinate), and why some kids may need specialized therapies like biofeedback.Why integrative medicine is about both/and—using food as medicine when possible, and leaning on safe medications when necessary.This conversation is practical, reassuring, and yes—sometimes even funny. It's a reminder that while poop may not be a glamorous parenting topic, helping kids feel comfortable, confident, and healthy in their bodies is always worth it.______This episode is brought to you by Suvie: If dinnertime is your daily chaos hour, I've got something game-changing.It's called Suvie.

What Parents Need to Know about Gut Imbalance in Kids.When you think of gut issues in kids, it's easy to assume you'll see obvious digestive symptoms like constipation or tummy aches. But what if your child's mood swings, eczema, or constant colds were actually gut-related?This week on the podcast, we're exploring the less obvious signs of gut imbalance in children — the ones that often get missed or mistaken for unrelated problems. We'll tackle how skin, immunity, behaviour, and even food preferences are more connected to gut health than you might realise and how focusing on this one area can simplify your child's whole health picture.In this episode, we unpack:✅ The overlooked signs of poor gut health beyond digestion like eczema, fussy eating, and recurrent infections. ✅ Why these symptoms often get treated separately in conventional medicine and how the gut offers a unified root cause. ✅ How to spot the patterns in your child's symptoms that point back to gut imbalance. ✅ The gentle, realistic first steps you can take to restore your child's gut health without perfection or piles of supplements.

They describe how to regain enthusiasm by respecting yourself enough to tune into your true feelings, then discern and fact find, before moving into action.  We have been trained to look outside of ourselves first for direction and answers, which is backwards.  "Simplifying things is key."  The discussion touches on their experience and personal solutions around how they simplified areas such as health and spiritual information, while maintaining respecting others' journeys and choices.  "It's liberating."They advocate for recognizing and trusting one's own inner wisdom gained from lifetimes as a soul, along with your inner Guidance to clarify what is a  concept that no longer fits, and "programmed" emotions versus true feelings.  This is a path for organized purposeful action and accomplishment with fulfillment.Discover spiritual truths delivered in a practical way in these three e-books created by The Wayshowers College.

What if you could take back control of your bladder, feel strong and supported from the inside out, and transform how you move through midlife, starting with your pelvic floor? This week, we’re going there. I’m joined by Kim Vopni, widely known as The Vagina Coach, a pioneer in pelvic health education, bestselling author, and founder of the Buff Muff Method. We break the silence around issues like incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain, topics often brushed off or suffered through in silence. Kim shares why pelvic health is central to longevity, energy, and confidence, and how women can ditch the shame and start healing. We talk about why Kegels are not a one-size-fits-all solution, the difference between hypertonic and hypotonic pelvic floors, and why habits like straining or skipping water can quietly sabotage your core.

Key Takeaways: Pelvic health is essential for midlife vitality and long-term wellness Leakage, urgency, prolapse, and pain are common—but not inevitable Kegels aren’t a universal solution; some women need relaxation, not just strength Professional pelvic health evaluations are game-changing Constipation, dehydration and bathroom habits directly affect pelvic floor health Your feet and posture influence your pelvic alignment Education around pelvic health should start earlier and happen more often Shame and silence are the biggest barriers to healing Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/4Rx14InFehESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why Your Child's 'Growing Pains' Are A Warning Sign for Pelvic Misalignment | The Prime Podcast - Episode 339 Is your child waking up at night complaining of deep, aching leg pain? As a parent, you've likely been told it's just "growing pains"—a normal phase they'll eventually outgrow. But what if that common advice is wrong? In this crucial episode of The Prime Podcast (Episode 339), Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies expose the truth behind this widespread misconception. They reveal why "growing pains" are often a major warning sign of an underlying structural issue: pelvic misalignment. Learn how simple childhood tumbles and falls can create imbalances in the pelvis, leading to nervous system interference and causing the frustrating, recurring leg pain that keeps your child (and you) up at night. Discover the tell-tale signs that the pain isn't from growth, such as when it consistently affects only one leg. The doctors explain how this core issue can be connected to other common childhood conditions like chronic constipation, early motor delays, scoliosis (curvature of the spine), and even painful PMS in the teen years. Most importantly, get empowered with simple, at-home checks you can perform to spot these subtle imbalances in your child's posture and muscle development. Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie advocate for a proactive, natural approach to health that addresses the root cause of the pain, rather than just masking the symptoms with medication. If you're tired of feeling helpless and are looking for real solutions for your child's discomfort, this episode provides the valuable insights and actionable steps you need to foster a foundation of true health and proper alignment for your family. MEDICAL TERMS EXPLAINED Subluxation: A chiropractic term for a misalignment or altered position of the vertebrae or pelvic bones, which can interfere with the nervous system's ability to communicate effectively with the rest of the body. Pelvic Misalignment: A condition where the pelvis is not level, balanced, or symmetrical. This forces the body to compensate for the imbalance, often leading to uneven weight distribution, muscle strain, joint dysfunction, and pain, particularly in the lower back and legs. Nervous System Interference: When a subluxation or misalignment puts pressure on, irritates, or distorts nerves, it disrupts the flow of vital information between the brain and the body. This interference can negatively impact muscle function, organ health, developmental milestones, and overall well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Pain is NOT a normal part of growth; it is a critical signal that indicates an underlying issue. "Growing pains" that consistently occur on one side of the body are a strong indicator of a structural imbalance, not uniform growth. The primary cause of these pains is frequently an unlevel or misaligned pelvis, often resulting from accumulated falls and minor traumas experienced throughout childhood. Parents can learn practical, simple methods to observe and identify signs of postural and muscular imbalances in their children at home. Adopting a proactive approach, particularly through chiropractic care, can effectively identify and correct the underlying structural causes, offering a real and lasting solution beyond temporary symptom management.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Leah: Hi, I was wondering if you know about how to deal with constipation and stuck poop due to tortuous colon. Thank you!                                                                                                                                                                                 Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm reaching out regarding my husband, who is 47 years old and experiencing a range of symptoms that we're hoping to better understand. He has sensitive gums that are gradually receding, and he produces an excessive amount of earwax. He blows his nose daily and often feels tightness and tension in his neck, throat, and upper body. He is gluten intolerant and also reacts to milk sugar and lactose. Additionally, he frequently struggles to fall asleep. While these symptoms may not be directly related, I'd greatly appreciate your insight into any potential underlying connections or contributing factors and ideas to what my husband can do to change this. Thank you very much for your time and expertise.                                                                                                                                                                        Ellen: I have a question about high serum vitamin B12 levels. The normal range on the lab is 232 - 946. I am more than double the high end of the range at 1945. I take a daily multivitamin with with 400 mcg of B12, and take no other B12 supplement. Why is my number so high?                                                                                           Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My liver is stressed. Found out I have fatty liver in May, but am already doing everything I should to help reverse it. I'm wondering what you would do in my situation. For background, I have Ehlers Danlos & ME/CFS for 30 years (I'm 42). Have horrible PEM (can't walk for 5 mins, have to carefully plan all exertion), so can't exercise. Hypometabolic & blood glucose constantly elevated & spikes with exertion (walking to my kitchen, etc.), but eat healthy & no spikes with food. EBV reactivated 5 years ago & won't go away. Did Big 5 last year, nothing with liver came up. Have mold toxicity & SIBO, took binders to help. Did CBO protocol, but SIBO & mold won't go away. Do 21-day detox regularly, take DNS powder 2x per day + almost all supplements suggested in NAFLD podcast.                                                                                                   Allen: I am new to your podcast but saw you are offering the First Labs Program for 50% off labs. Is this all labs like the Big 5, or only certain ones. Can I run all of them?

Have you ever wondered why your child melts down after the smallest stressor—no matter what strategies you try? It can leave you drained, second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you're doing something wrong. You're not alone. It's not bad parenting—it's a dysregulated brain.In this episode, we uncover the hidden link between gut issues and emotional dysregulation in kids. You'll learn how the gut-brain connection affects mood, behavior, and focus—and discover practical steps to support both your child's emotional well-being and their gut microbiome at home.Why does my child melt down after eating certain foods?Many parents tell me they notice their child's behavior shifts right after meals—but what they don't realize is that the gut microbiome plays a significant role in emotional regulation.Food sensitivities like gluten, dairy, and artificial dyes can spark systemic inflammation, which shows up as mood swings and behavior changes.Constipation and poor gut health allow toxins to recirculate, affecting both emotional well-being and even pain perception.A leaky gut—or increased intestinal permeability—lets harmful substances enter the bloodstream, disrupting the brain and nervous system.So if your child melts down after eating, it may not be “just behavior.” It's communication from the gut-brain axis—and your child's body is asking for help.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How are gut issues connected to emotional dysregulation?Most parents assume the gut is only about digestion, but it actually has a direct line to the central nervous system and your child's mental health. When the gut is off balance, your child's ability to regulate emotions, focus, and cope with stress takes a hit too.Did you know that up to 90% of serotonin, the neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and attention, is made in the digestive tract? That means your child's gut isn't just helping them process food—it's helping them manage emotions and stay calm.When there's gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of beneficial gut bacteria), kids are more likely to struggle with heightened anxiety, depressive symptoms, and poor emotional regulation.Chronic stress and an unhealthy gut microbiome create a feedback loop that keeps kids stuck in cycles of emotional distress and behavioral challenges.

After years of severe constipation and a diagnosis of colonic inertia at 13, I was told at 16 that my only option was surgery to remove most of my bowel. Feeling hopeless, I searched for alternatives and discovered colon hydrotherapy, which provided instant relief and changed my life. Learning to do enemas at home gave me control over my health, and through detoxification with coffee enemas, I experienced a complete transformation - clear skin, mental clarity, and even the ability to conceive naturally despite previous medical doubts. Determined to share this life changing knowledge, I became a colon hydrotherapist and founded Happy Bum Co to break the stigma surrounding gut health and provide simple, effective solutions. Today, Happy Bum Co is a global leader in at-home detox, empowering individuals to reclaim their well-being, and I am so grateful to be part of this movement.https://happybumco.com/https://www.facebook.com/happybumcohttps://www.instagram.com/happybumco/________________________________________________________________________________________Come join my Buff Muff Community www.buffmuff.comThank you so much for listening!

Do you ever feel like your bloating has a mind of its own — showing up no matter what you eat?You've tried cutting foods, sipping kombucha, taking probiotics… but your belly still feels like it's about to pop. Why is this? Spoiler alert: I'm about to talk about something NO ONE is talking about on the internet. And that is... your bloating is persistent because it can have MANY causes.

Solifenacin is a bladder antimuscarinic medication most commonly used for overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urinary frequency, urgency, and urge incontinence. Like other agents in its class, understanding the pharmacology can help anticipate potential side effects, drug interactions, and downstream prescribing problems. Mechanism of Action Solifenacin selectively blocks muscarinic M3 receptors in the bladder detrusor muscle. Inhibiting these receptors reduces involuntary bladder contractions, increases bladder capacity, and delays the urge to void. While M3 selectivity may theoretically reduce side effects compared to nonselective antimuscarinics, in clinical practice, many anticholinergic effects still occur. Adverse Effects Because muscarinic receptors are present throughout the body, solifenacin can lead to a range of anticholinergic adverse effects: Dry mouth – among the most common, can be significant enough to cause dental issues with long-term use. Constipation – especially problematic in older adults; severe cases may require hospitalization. Blurred vision – due to impaired accommodation. Cognitive impairment – increased risk in older adults, particularly with cumulative anticholinergic burden. Urinary retention – paradoxical worsening in patients with bladder outlet obstruction. Drug Interactions CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) can increase solifenacin plasma concentrations, raising the risk of side effects. Other anticholinergics (e.g., diphenhydramine, tricyclic antidepressants, other bladder antimuscarinics) can result in additive toxicity and higher anticholinergic burden. QT-prolonging drugs (e.g., amiodarone, certain fluoroquinolones) may have additive cardiac risk since solifenacin has been associated with QT prolongation in rare cases. Prescribing Cascade Examples Constipation → Laxative initiation – A patient starts solifenacin for OAB and develops severe constipation, leading to chronic use of stimulant laxatives like senna or bisacodyl. Dry mouth → Mouth rinse prescription – Dry mouth is treated with saliva substitutes or prescription rinses, instead of reassessing the anticholinergic therapy. Cognitive decline → Donepezil initiation – In older adults, cognitive impairment may be mistaken for dementia progression, leading to cholinesterase inhibitor prescribing—directly counteracting the anticholinergic effects of solifenacin. Solifenacin can be an effective treatment for OAB, but the risk of adverse effects and prescribing cascades—especially in older adults—cannot be ignored. Healthcare professionals should regularly review the indication, monitor for anticholinergic burden, and look for opportunities to deprescribe when appropriate.
