I've been dealing with this navel displacement issue for the past four years, and it's really impacting my digestion and causing constipation.

Is there any effective treatment out there that I haven't tried yet?

Its important to find a treatment plan that works specifically for your condition, so it may be worth revisiting a gastroenterologist or exploring other holistic options.
