I once drank blended tomato juice as an attempt at low sugar fruit, perhaps 500ml to 1000ml. It led to diarrhea. I suspected hygiene so I tried cleaning with soap, liquid bleach! and finally boiling. Same diarrhea. At that point, it finally struck me about ion balance and Potassium was drawing water into the intestines/colon. Nuts, Beans, Lentils, Legumes, Guava are great sources of fiber. I'm from a tropical region. Thank you for your informative videos!
Im curious tho about laxative medicine. Everytime I take 1 when im in constipation. It only takes like a hour or 2 to kick in and it realy is painful for stomach but eventually it all goes away once i finally go thats why i stopped worrying about it. Its extemly painful and annoying
I had hirschsprung in my teens and had a colostomy and a reversal. I now use a lot of morphine and fentanyl (different condition) and it can be months before I poo and I find it affects my bladder as well. Impaction is not nice.
hey, whats yours like? i suffer from it too and it makes me so sad, mad, and scared. everyone i know goes regularly, but i cant. it's been 3 weeks since i last went, and i've been dealing with this for years now. diet changes and lifestyle changes dont work, not even laxatives most of the time. im too scared to even eat, which is not good for me since im naturally underweight, so now im losing even more. earlier i tried using liquid glycerin, but im too scared of things going inside of me so i kept screaming and crying as my mom got close, so she gave up. i've always thought im alone in this, so if you have a similar experience, i'd love to hear it
@@misspillow3 Hi, sorry you are suffering so much. I find what helps me is drinking plenty of water. And I take Docusate capsules 2 morning and evening also Laxido several times a day if necessary. Also I eat 8-10 prunes a day if things are difficult. These all help but don't let yourself get dehydrated. Hope this helps.
@@jys160 alright. unfortunately i rarely get thirsty, so what i've been trying to do is force myself to drink water even without being thirsty. it makes me feel sick but it's needed
What is really useful is sodium bicarbonate . Bicarbonate the baking soda and lime juice in water …. It works fairly well . I would suggest only doing 2 glasses a day one in morning one with dinner 🙏

thanks for making such a good video. can you please make a video on neuro exam while assessing patients with headaches. thanks
Thanks! I’ll try although I think Dr Gill or Geeky Medics would do a better job!
I find this video very useful

Also even if you don't feel like going try, otherwise you probably won't go.
