Journal Club on Demand - Dyssynergic Defecation in Relation to Functional Dyspepsia
Constipation and functional dyspepsia often overlap — yet the impact of pelvic floor dysfunction is frequently missed. In this 1-hour Journal Club replay, we review a key clinical trial showing that pelvic floor biofeedback can meaningfully improve upper-GI symptoms like fullness, bloating, and early satiety, outperforming fiber alone for patients with dyssynergic defecation.
We break down how dyssynergia contributes to both constipation and dyspepsia, why traditional fiber-focused approaches may fall short, and how dietitians can better screen, support, and refer these patients in practice.
A valuable session for dietitians working with IBS, functional dyspepsia, chronic constipation, and complex gut–pelvic floor presentations.
