Episode Description

In this episode of Gut Matters, Johannah Ruddy and Dr. Andrea Shin tackle some of the most common myths and misconceptions surrounding IBS-C treatment. They discuss why different treatments work for different people, what to expect when starting a new medication, and why side effects don't necessarily mean a treatment has failed. They also explore the importance of consistency, patient-provider communication, and finding a treatment approach that works for your individual symptoms.
