Struggling with Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C) but feel like your doctor or healthcare provider isn't getting the full picture? This episode could change your life. We're joined by Jaime Ackerman, a Physician Assistant at Atlanta Gastro, who's on a mission to revolutionize how patients and providers talk about IBS.
In this episode you’ll learn about the exact symptoms your healthcare provider needs to hear about (hint: it's not just frequency); why your constipation experience is unique - and how to communicate that effectively; and why a simple but game-changing tool for tracking your symptoms is key.
Jaime shares eye-opening insights from her patients' struggles and offers a fresh perspective on managing IBS-C. You'll learn how to become your own best health advocate and the power of shared decision for achieving symptom relief.
Whether you're a long-time IBS-C sufferer or newly diagnosed, this episode provides actionable strategies to transform your next doctor's visit.
