Medical Disclaimer for ConstipationGUIDE

Last updated: February, 2026

The information provided on ConstipationGUIDE is intended for educational and informational purposes only. While we strive to maintain high standards of accuracy and provide content that has been medically reviewed, it is crucial to understand that the articles, guides, and personal anecdotes shared here are rooted in the lived experience of a patient.

The primary contributor and founder, Sebastian Dan, writes from the perspective of someone who has suffered from and managed chronic constipation for a long period. His insights are shared to provide peer-to-peer support and practical prevention tips, but they do not constitute professional medical diagnosis, treatment, or advice.

While personal prevention strategies are helpful, they cannot replace the diagnostic clarity provided by clinical testing. To effectively resolve chronic constipation, you must move beyond temporary symptom relief and identify the specific physiological root cause. It is essential to work with a healthcare professional to order comprehensive screenings.

This essential action includes blood tests to check for thyroid dysfunction or electrolyte imbalances, and blood sugar tests to rule out metabolic issues like diabetes, which can significantly slow gut motility.

Furthermore, analyzing the internal biome is critical. Fecal and urine tests can detect the presence of harmful intestinal bacteria and parasites that disrupt digestion. For instance, infections such as Helicobacter pylori or parasites like Giardia can cause inflammation and digestive distress that mimic or trigger chronic constipation.

Testing for these specific pathogens allows for targeted treatment rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach. Ultimately, treating the underlying cause is the only sustainable way to manage constipation and prevent it from recurring in the long term; relying solely on laxatives or home remedies without a formal diagnosis may mask serious conditions that require medical intervention.

Every individual’s digestive health is unique, and what worked for Sebastian may not be appropriate or safe for your specific physiological needs. The content on this website is designed to be a starting point for your own research into digestive wellness and constipation prevention. It is not a substitute for the clinical judgment of a healthcare professional. You should never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

If you are experiencing persistent symptoms, severe abdominal pain, sudden changes in bowel habits, or any other concerning digestive issues, you must consult with a qualified doctor or licensed gastroenterologist immediately. Only a healthcare provider can offer a definitive diagnosis and a supervised treatment plan tailored to your medical history.
