Frustrated with Ineffective Constipation Treatments?

Did you poop today? This week? 

If you struggle with frequent constipation, it’s quite possible you may not have gone for… Well… A while. And when you did, it may have taken a while, or felt very uncomfortable… maybe even painful.

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably tried a bunch of different home remedies, over-the-counter meds, maybe even prescriptions. But if you’re like a lot of long-suffering folks with constipation… Nothing has really helped, at least not for more than a moment.

But there is a way to stop constipation… or rather start things moving again. And when you do this, it’s possible everything in life will feel so much easier – Especially your relationship with the bathroom. 

The Constipation Curse

First things first: Constipation DOESN’T mean you’re just going a day or two without pooping and feeling slightly overfull and inconvenienced... Living with problematic constipation can take a huge toll on your work, social life, personal relationships, and more. 

Constipation causes a lot of unbearable symptoms such as:

  • Painful bowel movements
  • Poop that’s difficult to pass
  • Dry, hard, lumpy poop
  • Stomach cramps
  • Bloating 
  • Feeling like your bowels are always full
  • Abdominal pain

And, technically, constipation means you poop fewer than three times a week.  That means if you’re going at least three times a week, it’s technically not constipation… But it may still feel that way. And most health experts agree: Just three bowel movements a week is definitely not ideal. 

With a typical healthy gut, you’ll poop at least once a day… often up to three times a day. And your stool will pass smoothly and easily without pain.

And that’s probably what you’re hoping will happen when you try different treatments… 

But you’re not alone if those solutions aren’t working for you.

It’s NOT your fault.

Constipation medications notoriously do not work. But that doesn’t stop
