This discovery opens up new avenues in the field of research into the connection between the intestinal system and the heart, and perhaps soon we will be able to find an answer to the cause-and-effect relationship between constipation and heart disease, and the role of painful bowel movements in the development of heart failure. leaky gut syndrome with indigestion, diarrhea and bloating.
