#74: The Surprising Connection Between Constipation, Burping, and Reflux (Summer Podcast Series Episode 7)
If you've been doing everything right for your reflux and heartburn and still can't figure out why symptoms keep showing up, the answer might not be in your stomach at all.
In this episode, we're talking about one of the most overlooked drivers of upper digestive symptoms: constipation and slow motility. What's happening further down in your digestive tract can have everything to do with how your stomach feels after meals, and once you understand this connection, a lot of things that felt confusing will finally start to click.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- Why your digestive system functions as one connected pathway, and what happens when part of it slows down
- Why improving bowel movement frequency is the very first thing I address with new clients
- How sluggish motility disrupts your microbiome, increases inflammation, and makes your stomach lining more reactive
- Jennifer's story: how restoring healthy bowel movements resolved her silent reflux, chest pressure, and stomach pain almost immediately
