Why You’re Still Constipated (Even When You Eat Fiber)

Constipation and bloating are common, frustrating, and often misunderstood. In this episode, Dr. Ngozi Okoro, a board-certified gastroenterologist, answers the most frequently asked questions she hears from patients about constipation, incomplete evacuation, and bloating. Dr. Okoro explains how to tell whether you are fully evacuated after a bowel movement, why small stool volume, straining, or a lingering rectal sensation may signal incomplete emptying, and how constipation can be a major cause of bloating. She walks through what stool is actually made of, why hydration matters, and how daily movement supports healthy gut motility. The episode also covers fiber in a practical, real-world way. Dr. Okoro explains the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber, why most people fall short of recommended intake, and how to think more clearly about fiber amounts throughout the day. She also discusses why eating the same foods does not always produce the same bowel habits, and how factors like stress, water intake, and physical activity influence digestion. Finally, Dr. Okoro addresses pelvic floor dysfunction, including what it feels like, why it happens, and simple strategies that may help, such as toilet positioning, abdominal massage, and knowing when to seek further evaluation. This video is for anyone dealing with constipation, bloating, or inconsistent bowel habits who wants clear, science-based guidance without fear-based messaging or medical jargon.
