Constipation Relief: What to Stop, What to Start, To Get Moving Again (Part 2)

What actually relieves IBS-C and chronic constipation? In this second episode of the series, Dr. Mike Hauman provides a step-by-step "reset" for getting things moving again—without declaring war on your colon.

Dr. Mike outlines what to stop: ignoring warning signs that deserve prompt medical evaluation, assuming all constipation has the same cause, adding fiber too quickly, straining, and ignoring the urge. He then explains what to start: a consistent morning bowel rhythm, better toilet posture, gentle food tools like kiwifruit, adequate hydration, low-and-slow soluble fiber, a walk after meals, and calming the nervous system. He also discusses where support tools such as polyethylene glycol, magnesium citrate, and peppermint oil can fit within a broader plan.

This episode includes a simple seven-day reset to help you find direction and track what actually changes—stool form, straining, bloating, and pain—so you can measure progress, not perfection.

Tune in for practical, grounded guidance on constipation care.
