New definition for "occasional constipation"!
Diagnosis if
🟥≥1 symptom of functional constipation
🟥no alarm symptoms
🟥occurs at irregular/infrequent intervals
Definition will allow more research on this #constipation entity -> improve patient care.

Thrilled to share that Prof Whelan and I have been awarded £1.5m from BBSRC @kingslsm.bsky.social.
We'll do a RCT to investigate if increasing the diversity of plant-based foods in the diet optimises gastrointestinal & cardiometabolic health.
