Bloating, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation—are these symptoms normal, or signs of something deeper?  On this episode of Beyond the Script, Dr. Jake Goodman is joined by CVS pharmacist and district leader Victoria Mottola to break down gut health, the gut microbiome, and the questions pharmacists hear every day. They explain how probiotics and prebiotics work, how antibiotics and pain relievers affect your stomach, what’s safe for kids, and when digestive symptoms shouldn’t be ignored.  You’ll also hear practical advice on fiber, acid reflux, OTC medications, and common gut health myths—plus simple steps you can take to support digestion, immunity, and overall health.
