The one thing my GI doctor never told me when it came to my constipation

I see this all the time with my clients. One tip could literally help you start going to the bathroom every single day.

It’s called the MIGRATING MOTOR COMPLEX. It is a pattern of muscle contractions in the digestive tract that occurs during fasting, helping to clear out undigested food and bacteria. It typically activates every 90 to 120 minutes and is interrupted by eating, which can disrupt its cleaning function.

Every time you put food into your body when other food hasn’t been completely digested because you are snacking and grazing all day long, you are disrupting the migrating motor complex. More food into your gut is not allowing your system to do its job and clear out everything else. Trust me, it will start to back up. You get constipated.

Planning and preparing meals ahead of time, or even knowing you have meals that you can eat instead of grabbing snacks (like eating off your kids’ plates) throughout the day is key. Give yourself enough time throughout the day to digest the food you are putting into your body.

Newsflash: You’re constipated if you are not going to the bathroom every single day and feeling empty.
