🧠💩 "You gotta poop."
That’s the blunt but essential starting point in treating gastroparesis (delayed stomach empyting), according to Dr. Zachary Spiritos (@drzacspiritos) — and I have to agree.
On today’s episode of @bendy_bodies, we dive into the elegant but complex pathophysiology behind gastroparesis, a condition commonly seen in patients with hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes (EDS).
From diet and promotility agents to managing stress, sleep, relationships, movement, and nervous system regulation, this is a multi-pronged challenge that requires patience and partnership.
📈 Progress doesn’t happen overnight — but even a 10% improvement can change lives.
