Have you ever searched "can constipation cause headaches" at eleven at night with a raging headache because, after years of it, you'd finally started to wonder if these two were connected?

Are you exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix? And when you brought it up, your doctor checked your thyroid, your iron, and told you everything looked normal — but never once asked about your gut?
