The Poop Queen Reveals Why Women Stay Bloated, Backed Up and Exhausted

This is StRest! Kerstin Lindquist sits down with Liz Roman—better known online as The Poop Queen—for a direct conversation about constipation, bloating, Hashimoto’s, hormones, and what to do when you feel terrible even though your labs are called “normal.” Liz opens up about being diagnosed with childhood rheumatoid arthritis, struggling with painful periods and chronic constipation, and eventually discovering Hashimoto’s, Giardia, Candida overgrowth, and broader gut dysfunction through functional testing. Her own health journey led her to leave corporate human resources and build a practice focused on helping women understand their symptoms and search for root-cause answers. Kerstin and Liz break down stool testing, parasites, Candida, elimination diets, and why Liz prefers to support digestion, bowel regularity, hydration, liver function, and nutrient status before using aggressive eradication protocols. They also discuss why adding too much fiber too quickly can make bloating worse—and why the type of fiber matters. The conversation also connects perimenopause and menopause with constipation, histamine reactions, estrogen clearance, bile flow, liver and gallbladder support, and HRT. Liz shares the lab markers she watches, the supplements she commonly discusses with clients, and why health changes should be guided by data instead of guesswork.
