5 Minutes in GI: Postpartum and GI

November 3, 2025

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Joy Liu, a gastrointestinal specialist at Northwestern in Chicago, Illinois, and discuss common gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms that women may experience after giving birth and how to best manage these symptoms.

Whether you’re a new mom, a partner, a family member, or a healthcare professional supporting someone postpartum, this conversation may offer insight into what’s happening in the body, why these symptoms occur, and how to promote healing during recovery.
