AGA has published the latest in a series of guideline-based resources for members to provide their patients. Based on the published AGA guideline on constipation, the new patient guide explains how a gastroenterologist can help when diet and lifestyle modifications fail.

The guide also explains defecatory disorders, slow-transit and normal-transit constipation, as well as information about tests and medication options in language that is accessible to patients.

AGA’s evidence-based patient guides can help improve the efficiency of office visits and the value you provide patients.

If your patients are suffering from chronic constipation, make sure to let them know about this helpful AGA patient guide.
