353: Bloating, Constipation and Heartburn is Not Normal

My epic hike a few weeks ago was made possible by strong legs, a good attitude and a well functioning digestive system. We hiked 5 hours into the wilderness, and camped by a lake with no facilities. Arguably, squatting in the woods to poop is more pleasant than most pit toilets. Nonetheless, the trip would have been much different (or non existant) if I struggled with diarhea, stomach pain, bloating or constipation.  Digestive issues affect many people, but is often overlooked, and we certainly don't talk about it.  And it can make life challenging.  ❤️‍
