Gut-friendly alternatives to laxatives for ongoing constipation

In a previous post I talked about the dangers for our gut of long-term laxative use to resolve chronic constipation.

Addressing the root cause—whether that be dysbiosis, SIBO, poor bile flow, low stomach acid, or stress—is essential for long-term gut health.

Instead of relying on laxatives, a comprehensive gut health approach—including microbiome testing, dietary adjustments, probiotics, bile support, rebalancing, stress reduction, and vagus nerve activation—can restore natural digestion and long-term motility without dependency.

Addressing the root cause of constipation ensures sustainable relief and optimal gut health. And that's important, because our gut is the driver of our general health!
