Dr. Linda Bluestein dives deep into the tangled web of gastrointestinal disorders with neurogastroenterologist Dr. Zachary Spiritos. They tackle the silent struggles of patients with EDS (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), and MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome), especially those whose GI tests always come back “normal.” From misunderstood motility problems to surprising treatment twists, this episode is full of revelations that might change the way you think about your gut. And yes, there’s even a how-to on better pooping.

Takeaways:

  • Why your GI test results might be “normal”… but your symptoms are anything but.
  • How slow motility and visceral hypersensitivity often masquerade as IBS.

  • The overlooked connection between hypermobility, dysautonomia, and GI dysfunction.

  • Why some patients are misdiagnosed for years—and how that’s finally changing.

  • A surprising but effective tip to improve your daily bathroom routine.
