Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A definitive guide to the science and history of constipation across the nation. Most Americans have had constipation symptoms at some point in their lives. Statistics show up to 30% of Americans are affected with chronic constipation. This number reaches 60% as we age. At any given time up to 100 million people in the United States experience constipation. During the pandemic, constipation and its related anorectal issues worsened because everyone was sitting at home.Constipation has affected humans throughout history. Some called it civilizations curse. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (yes, of Kelloggs cereal fame) promoted cold cereal as a constipation cure. Today, we have more probiotics and diets than you can shake your tushy at, and social media has popularized the Blue Poop Challenge to diagnose gut health. But what does it all mean?After seeing thousands of patients in her practice as a colorectal surgeon, Dr. Fong realized that she was repeating the same information, sometimes twenty times a day. Yet, this information was not common knowledge. What was found on the Internet was confusing and conflicting, leaving people who Googled their symptoms with more questions than answers. As an academic clinician who has written peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Fong sought information beyond even what the medical textbooks taught her.Constipation Nation helps readers who would rather research information themselves before seeing a healthcare professional to troubleshoot their poop chute. Drawing from 200 evidence-based sources as well as historical texts, Dr. Fong addresses all aspects of constipation, combining medicine, physiology, anatomy, microbiology, nutrition, history, and social sciences to get to the bottom of it all to explain why we doo and why we dont. For less than the price of a co-pay, Your Friendly Neighborhood Colorectal Surgeon, Dr. Carmen Fong, explains the history and science behind why we go and why we cant. Grounded in research, Constipation Nation is a comprehensive resource for the millions of Americans who struggle with bowel issues and want answers but dont know who to ask.
