Types of
Chronic Constipation

Not all constipation is the same. Treating "Lazy Gut" with fiber works, but treating "Outlet Blockage" with fiber makes it worse.

Normal Transit (Functional)

Stool moves at a normal speed, but you feel constipated due to hard stools or stress. Most common type.

Slow Transit (Lazy Gut)

The colon muscles move too slowly. It takes days for food to travel through the gut.

Outlet Dysfunction (Defecatory Disorder)

The stool reaches the rectum, but the pelvic muscles don't relax to let it out. You strain but nothing comes.

Why Laxatives Don't Work?

Understanding Outlet Dysfunction

"If you feel the urge but simply cannot pass it, no amount of laxative will help. You need Biofeedback Therapy."

Dr. Jaya explains why taking laxatives for Outlet Dysfunction is dangerous—it pushes stool against a closed door, causing pain and bloating.
