Constipation: Types, Causes, Risks, and What You Can do to Prevent It

Constipation isn’t just uncomfortable—it can become dangerous. Especially after illness, surgery, or certain medications, what seems minor can turn into something serious.
In this episode, we explain what constipation is, why it happens, and what your body needs to function the way it should. We break down the role of hydration, movement, and fiber, and why small changes can prevent bigger problems.
We also talk about who is most at risk, including people with chronic illness, those recovering from abdominal surgery, and anyone taking medications that slow the gut. https://bit.ly/3QEeoRS
