You’ve heard of constipation, but what is refractory constipation?

Many people aren’t familiar with the lesser-known condition.

While constipation is infrequent or hard-to-pass bowel movements, refractory, or hard-to-treat constipation, is ongoing trouble with bowel movements, even after trying lifestyle changes, diet, medications, and other therapies.

Treating refractory constipation requires more than a standard laxative. The good news is there are tests and treatment courses outlined in our newest clinical practice update that health care providers can use, including:

1️⃣ Anorectal manometry with balloon expulsion test
2️⃣ Colonic transit testing

Learn more about refractory constipation, tests, and treatment options. Get started: https://ow.ly/kwLk50Y27Vp.
