I just came home from the hospital after surgery and was constipated from the anesthesia and little activity. Happened upon your video. I did all of the exercises and shortly after was able to have a BM. Thanks Dr. Rowe! Big hug.
My 5 year old was constipated for two days and I did everything to get her to go but nothing worked. I called her Dr office and it went to voicemail. I was about to take her to the ER then I came across your video. I did all the exercises you recommended with her and my baby went to the potty instantly. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and saving lives out here👑.
Funny topic, until it's you. At 62, this problem is becoming my constant companion, despite being active and eating healthy. I am now going to try the exercises. Thank you for the info.
I find having a Squatty Potty has been a real game changer for me. I've also been taking a course on improving my core and in addition to the Squatty Potty, the physical therapist recommends sitting as upright as possible. When our core is activated correctly, it works in conjunction with our rectum to help us relieve ourselves easier. Before this, I'd lean forward while having my legs elevated and it was still a struggle. Also, there are some nutritional things to consider too. More fiber from vegetables or even adding in bile salts to our diet can help things move better. I've also found that organic Kefer and the probiotics it provides has improved my bathroom time. Good stuff Dr. Rowe!
Never had this problem. Turned 80. Now have this problem. The very first suggestion here did the trick. Thank you for this video. I've just hit your subscribe button!
You are really awesome Doc Rowe, you talk about every problem, that's why we love you all, be blessed and lot of greetings from our fan from.Switzerland🇨🇭hope my english is ok😊
I have the opposite problem (IBD related) but have a loved one with this issue. Shared it! THANKS 😊 for tackling this sensitive issue that so many won't even mention!! MY NEW HERO. 🎉
I had a nuss procedure and the froze all of my nerves in my chest, making me not go for a good chunk of time, until i went to this video and tried it. What do you know? It worked! Thank you so much, my dude
Found these maneuvers really effective. Just repeat them few times except squatting while still in the bed and then get up when pressure has built up. I have to run literally to toilet and the day I walk, I do few squats AND THATS IT !
One thing I’ve discovered with the knees elevated position, is that if I push my knees close together, I get the feeling that I’m further opening something up deep in my anatomy.
Very helpful I do a 45 minute exercise routine every morning, many of my sets include all of the movements You showed I have a healthy and regular bowel movement after my workout. Eat and exercise healthy All You Lovely People Your day starts here MuchLove ❣️🇿🇦
Eleven days bruh! I was about to go see a Dr. But after these fairly easy workouts and ten minutes in the restroom (a tiny fraction of the time I've spent in there this week) I finally have relief. I can not thank you and the information age enough. but I'll try...thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I will definitely like and subscribe if that helps at all
I just did each one and I'll do them each day...everyday forever because ill get so fit doing this. We all need core exercises. I love all of these. Easy. The one agsinst the door frame is the hardest...ouch...im going back to doing that one again now.
Thank you so much. I've been constipated for 3 days and these exercises helped a lot! The first exercise works for me the most and i hold it po 40 seconds with some deep breath exercise and meditate just like you recommend. Drinking warm water before these exercises also helps and if possible don't play with your phone
thanks a lot very good video and hello from london uk. haha get the gravy train flowing. Post script i just did the excercises and it worked on an incredibly bad blockage that i had been trying to pass for about 7 hours. I am 70 years old and have all sorts of medical issues .Thank you
As usual, you cover subjects that others would avoid. I've trapped a inner muscle in my right forearm, ny hgv job means l load & unload heavy items by pushing & pulling. It feels like a trapped nerve, inly fires jn pain when arm fully extended. Any advice?

If constipated, try this: Go to a big grocery store and look for canned pears in their own juice. Not jarred pears, not fresh pears, not in light syrup, not in heavy syrup. Once you find some canned pears in their own juice, eat the whole can. You should have a BM by the next day. Maintenance dose would be 1/2 can per day. Note: Canned pears in their own juice can be challenging to find - most everything is in light or heavy syrup which will not work. Good luck
Another one that helps (me!) is the mountain climb. I do not know if it is correct (the name in English) or not. stay in a push-up position and bring your knees one by one to the chest (or core). Danke
Oh, this requires a fair amount of strength. Some of us are old, but I will try. Actually I do all the ones in this video and one more he didn't cover. I can squat till I almost touch the floor. I think I may have diverticulitis. So it's discouraging.
Thanks a million Dr Rowe, I have watched and tried a lot of constipation videos. This one is excellent and has been amazingly helpful, especially the animated squat position in your video thumbnail.
Thank you! I’m recovering from spine/cancer surgery. It’s tricky to not injure the incision area in my thoracic region. A lot of these exercises will help me regain bowel function post surgery. 🙂
Juice of a fresh lemon in a cup or two of hot water every morning before eating will keep things moving also. A couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil will help too
Since I went Carnivore a year ago, no more constipation. Meat and meat fat are full of amino acids and almost everything is absorbed. No fiber. Nothing to waste and clog you up. Oh plus I lost 60 lbs. My blood sugar and blood pressure are almost normal and the pain in my body from Fibromyalgia and arthritis is gone (unless I fall off the wagon and eat a pistachio.) Oxalates and lectins are horrible.
Never can predict what UA-cam videos you'll be saving. Today needs must and after 3 days bunged up this is my favourite video on the internet. Who knew 😂😢
Made me laugh like a 10 year old! Just over a year ago I went through weeks of constipation, the best thing was raising my legs while sitting on the toilet and consciously relaxing. I use a very low stool (picked up a kid's plastic stepstool at Dollar Store) to set my feet on and if nothing seems to be moving, I take them down and then put them back on. I found going out for my morning walk would get things moving but unfortunately away from home! So now I do many exercises similar to what you have suggested, especially the standing deep bend and that all helps. Thanks for the advice for an embarrassing subject!
A nurse told me once that constipation that lasts more than 3 days needs attention. I can't imagine how painful it would be to be constipated for weeks. That's awful.
Remind your customers..medications can cause constipation..specifically, opioids..stool softeners also help to get “things” moving. For the elderly, Miralax gets things going. ❤
This is the greatest michigan chiro bro video of all time.
Poop to your favorite tunes. 🎶 💩
I just came home from the hospital after surgery and was constipated from the anesthesia and little activity. Happened upon your video. I did all of the exercises and shortly after was able to have a BM. Thanks Dr. Rowe! Big hug.
Yay!
3 prunes/day helps me ... I am on opioids daily for pain and they're constipating
did it go back to normal? your stomach and everything?
Thank you 4 answering questions that most people would be embarrassed to ask.
His best video! I don’t mind watching the ads every time I play this because the good Doc is worth it!

Cabbage juice or eating cabbage it works fantastic.
@@CH-hm8uddo you have to cook the cabbage
@@truthalwaysprevails6669 Not really, I can eat it in salad, kimchi, or sauerkraut. All of them works for me!!
I love that he keeps saying poo! Most doctors would say bowel movement or something equally as medical - he’s great!
He also said poop at 1:27
How does this pop up when I’m constipated? Miracles I say
Same here believe it or not 😂
Dude same 😂😂😂 ridiculous
Watching on the throne here. Gracious!

Simply brilliant, nothing better than being proactive when you have a problem.
Yes, just for those with knee issues, however, the squats may be difficult. Very interesting and informative video though.
That sitting position made a miracle. I went to that position that pop was just went so smooth , thank you so much Dr

"Get that gravy train flowing" 😂 another great vid from Dr. Rowe!

Never needed this, however someday I’ll save someone with this information. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'm going to prove this exercises. I have always suffered from constipation. Thank you so much for this video 🙂
What selfless work! Demonstrating all these exercises and risking having to release the gravy train yourself!
Where you notice breaks edited in the video, that's when he was rushing to the shitter 😆🤠✌️
😂😅
😂
I just did the first exercise and it really helped 😢l was constipating for 3 days thank you 🙏 so much for the video
Glad it helped!
Indian squat style. Thank you for sharing. It's traditional ancient methods followed across Asia.
True. Nothing new. Same in Balkan. Just changed this last decade, because most of the people are just lazy to squat or take care of their body.
I'm really having a problem with going potty, thank you for this, seems logical in timely for solving my problem.
I have the opposite problem (IBD related) but have a loved one with this issue. Shared it!
THANKS 😊 for tackling this sensitive issue that so many won't even mention!!

Likewise. That is never a problem for me, but I saved it for future reference.
I had to giggle even before watching it 😁 Great advice!

Plum also good
Pomona makes organic 100% pear juice sold in small bottles on Amazon
I had this problem at school. So I started riding a bicycle to school and back(about two miles away). It completely cured the problem
Love this!!! Definitely will try these exercises!!!! Drink plenty of water, too!!!💧

When is the best time to do these exercises? Early morning or before going to bed, Dr. Rowe? Thanks a lot!
