Gastroenterologist Warns Against Harmful Constipation Remedies
Prominent gastroenterologist Andrey Simakov has issued a warning regarding two widely popular online methods for addressing constipation. He explained the potential dangers of these unconventional practices.
Firstly, the doctor criticized the recommendation to consume a mixture of honey, dried fruits, and nuts to combat constipation. According to Simakov, this blend is ineffective for bowel issues. Consuming it during constipation can lead to increased bloating, belching, flatulence, and pain.
To improve intestinal function, the gastroenterologist instead advised increasing the intake of foods rich in non-fermentable fiber, such as carrots, beets, kiwi, pineapple, or dragon fruit.
The specialist also noted that fiber supplements, another method popular on social media, do not effectively resolve constipation. Simakov elaborated: "Fiber supplements can either help or exacerbate the situation. For instance, large doses of dry psyllium can act as an absorbent, intensifying bloating and constipation. Supplements containing inulin and fructooligosaccharides can also sometimes cause gastrointestinal discomfort." He urged individuals to consult a doctor and agree upon a treatment plan.
Earlier, Simakov debunked a common misconception about constipation. He clarified that many people mistakenly believe that having a bowel movement around three times a week indicates constipation, but this is not necessarily true.
