Constipation…it’s all about digestion and the health of your gut
In this episode of the gastric health show, we discuss different strategies to address the common issue of constipation after gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgery.
Fluids, Fiber, Prebiotics & Probiotics help alleviate constipation
Everyone knows increasing fluids and eating fiber rich foods are the first line of defense in combating constipation. But, understanding which foods provide prebiotics can make a significant difference in long-term prevention of constipation.
Not all probiotics are equal
Not every strain of bacteria is capable of helping with constipation. To help you understand the differences, we discuss 4 different strains of bacteria that work together to correct and prevent constipation.
For quick relief try magnesium citrate and smooth move tea
It would be ideal if you could avoid constipation all together. Unfortunately, surgery plays havoc on your gut. When you need something fast, Magnesium citrate, Buffered Vitamin C & Smooth Move tea are your friends

I loved the recipes… easy and my husband loved them, as did I. I felt full and satisfied. I have not had a low blood sugar since following your 10 Day Back on Track Class Meal Plan and that was my goal.
Plus, the loss of 4 pounds was an added bonus. Looking back I realize I was not eating the right foods therefore I was having low blood sugars. I have a whole new way of thinking when it comes to eating thanks to the Gastric Health Club and to you Dawn! Thanks!!
