Solving Stubborn Constipation: Integrating Microbiome Insights with Transit Physiology

Constipation is one of the most common presentations in clinical practice. It is also one of the most persistent. When dietary and lifestyle foundations are in place, but symptoms remain, clinicians are often left asking: what is driving the pattern?

This presentation and interactive, case-based workshop explores constipation through two clinical lenses:

· Colonic transit and defaecation patterns

· The role of the gut microbiome in ongoing symptoms

‍

Together we will examine:

· Recognising slow transit and obstructive patterns

· How the microbiome may contribute to symptoms

· Targeted, evidence-informed interventions

· Clinical decision points for investigation and management

You will leave with a clear management framework to support clinical decision making.
