Dr..Eric Berg is a noble doctor. Rarely, I saw someone so knowledgeable, so abundantly sharing that life saving knowledge and so simple like him. Indeed a saint like man, a gift of God to us!!
@@freekomo2172 There are two sides to every story. Dr. Berg provides valuable medical advice for free on social media platforms. Whatever is going on in his private life should be private. It's terrible for a son to undermine his dad in public. If something criminal was actually done then that should be handled in the correct fashion and not on social media.
Real insight on understanding digestion and constipation, something no doctor of mines has ever explained properly to me. I had to learn it from a UA-cam video, is shameful. Dr Berg is for the people, and his legacy is a gift to us.
I have never been constipated and that is even when I've had to take pain medication in the past. My sister on the other hand, has always had the opposite problem. A couple months ago she was real sick for a couple of months throwing up throwing up. I kept telling her to go to the doctor finally, one night she felt so ill she thought she was dying. She called the ambulance got to the hospital and they started running tests on her. Well she had a blocked colon and her sugar was 538. Needless to say, she was in the hospital for about 2 weeks and as a part of doing all this work, up they found a mass on the head of her pancreas. So, I do believe what you're saying about constipation not being a disease in itself but being part of whatever is going on in your body. I believe that because of this mass on the head of the pancreas, caused her sugar to go up and caused her bowel blockage. Now on this coming Monday she has to have surgery to take out the cancer. Fortunately, because of this blockage they found it early and as far as they can see, it has not spread anywhere else. Which is is extremely unusual for this type of cancer. Everybody has to listen to what their body is telling them. And if you know what to look for then you can take care of the problem. So I'm glad I did listen to this video. Thank you.
Thank you all for your concern and your prayers. And to the doctor who introduced me to this diet and even though I've had problems with the diet. Initially I lost weight on the program. I have so many health problems myself that I do believe I gain weight from the medicine I take. I believe mine has to do with hormones too. But bless you all for thinking of my sister.. I'm crying right now as I send this message to you all who have given me a thumbs up or replied. . It's been more devastating to me than anything else that I've had to deal with with my own health. My sister's diagnosis has really devastated me.. She is so scared because she has had one surgery in her life and it's when she was seven. I've had six surgeries on each of my knees and my gallbladder removed two c-sections spinal fusion, So you see, if I could do it for her I would. God bless you all.
I’m an IBS suffer I struggled a lot with constipation trying my best to improve my gut health naturally and learning a lot from your videos, thank you Dr Berg for teaching us so much! love ❤️from UK🇬🇧
Mine might have been related to thyroid hormones are needed for gut peristalsis, metabolism and nerve signaling. Gut peristalsis are the movements that make your stool travel. For th3 and th4 production in the thyroid, the minerals and nutrients to do it, iron, zinc and iodine, and iodine needs good selenium levels also, some fat and vit A. Look out for mineral blockers (coffee, turmeric). Other adjustments that I made: regular salt, eating foods with B1 and no sulfites (block B1, present in salad dressings, bottled lemon juice, etc.).
Never had a problem with constipation until I started intermittent fasting. More fiber during my eating window has helped but I may try these other recommendations to pinpoint the issue. Thanks Dr. Berg!
It may be due to the lack of food volume being consumed while fasting. Low intake of food and higher physical demand from the body causes constipation or much less frequent bowel movements. That's my observation anyway. Thats my personal observations anyway.
New Dr Berg-inspired salad idea that I eat every day: sauerkraut, celery, and broccoli sprouts with a squeeze of lemon and splash of olive oil. Delicious!
I can say you're absolutely right! I've been constipated for years! My belly was so big people used to ask me if I was pregnant! Couple months ago doctors found out I have a autoimmune liver disease. My gallbladder was not producing enough bile, now I'm on a certain medication to help with the disease and I'm less constipated! Thanks God! Amazing how the body works!!
The best constipation medicine ever I take daily is : Leeks. adding some of them to my breakfast/ brunch omelette, which is cooked with olive oil, and it regulates going to the toilet almost the same time everyday.
This man is a genius and a life saver. Every single video is so knowledgeable wether you need to watch it or not. Amazing information as always. Your helping the world at a great time of need with the great content your putting out. Thank you so much!
My stress was the problem for my constipation and I notice when I started eating cabbage it really helped a lot and it works wonders if you steam it instead of cooking it because you will lose all the nutrients.
Thank you for your persevering work. Information from some of your past videos helped me understand that a crisis about 8 days ago was self-induced low potassium. A quick, temporary correction of a couple of days of potassium gluconate supplementation, plus long-term revised nutrition to improve potassium and other electrolyte levels, more consistent hydration, and finally cutting sugar completely, saved me from a visit to critical care or a hospital, and as of yesterday has me completely back on track. Thank you again. You share life-saving information. Thank you again again.
Dr Berg is really a saint, I have been closely following his contents for close to 2 years. One of his video explaining on the chain-relationship of stomach acid, heart burn and bloating literally cured my wife's chronic and severe problem of bloating, constipation and lost of sleeps, the problem has been with her for close to 10 years despite consulting many doctors. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
@@toughmunths does it matter as long as he provides useful content? I’m sure most ppl with a lot of knowledge tend to be calculative tbh. If he’s not hurting ppl, then it doesn’t matter. We aren’t here to get a pat on the back, but to get information
I just went through this! I am a little angry because medical doctors are mistreating their patients by not getting to the root cause. I started to talk about the history of my constipation and he cut me off!
This is true, but it's also the patient's responsibility to not be sick unnecessarily due to their own negligence. There's enough blame to go around, but it's up to patients to take responsibility and then doctors will be forced to do better.
Mr Berg,i am a 27 year old male,i have been dealing with gastritis and constipation for 2 years now,i have 50 year old man's hemorrhoids i've been told by a doctor. I have stopped smoking cigarettes and alcohol and watching every video of yours religiously,thank you so much for all you do. I gotten the supplements you've recommended on an earlier video and my belching seems to be much less for the last 2 weeks since i've found you. God bless.
@@amana1480 Hello,thanks for replying. I totally cut white bread from my diet as it makes me burp a lot,now i only eat whole grain bread and it seems to have no bad effect on me. I am 5'11 (180cm) 145 lbs (65kg) right now. I have been doing intermitten fasting since i was a kid (never had that much appetite) thank you for trying to help.
@@amana1480 that’s actually not true, God is real and loves you so much. You can’t see your being, the sky and oceans and not believe God is real. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
Thank you for this Dr. Berg! I have suffered with constipation since I was 10 years old. I am now 41. I have had an colonoscopy and nothing was found. My water intake is more than I actually need because I'm afraid I will get constipated. I can't eat cheese and other dairy because I get clogged immediately but I take supplements to substitute. I do 16/8 IF also. After this video, I honestly believe that my constipation is the result stress. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Aniexty and I am managing it well but I do channel my stress internally if that makes sense. Your video truly enlightened me and now I'm going to tell my husband that you said to send me on vacation! 😂🤣😂 I'm kidding!!! Thank you for loving us so much by sharing this information with us! Peace and blessings to you Dr.!!! ❤❤
I had same problem as a kid and when I was a vegan. Nothing was found ,why I was constipated. Lots of water , smoothies and salads. Then I changed to keto / carnivore. Not much fiber but lots of fat and protein. And I don't have problems now. Too much fiber is not good . One size doesn't fit all. Definitely I needed fat in my diet . Now I dont have problems ,if I over eat on salads problems starts again. So o know for me keto/ carnivore is the way to go.
If you believe it to be from stress, you may want to do some research or try out Ashwagandha. It's just a dietary supplement that you can get in pill or powder form. It's know the help relieve stress. Try adding fermented foods to your diet like Kimchi or Sauerkraut. It has good bacteria & probiotics that helps with overall digestive system and much more. Check them out 👍
Probably the bets explanation of constipation I have ever seen in my life! Suffered a lot of constipation between 2014-2016...lifestyle change, helped a lot.
Wonderful video!!! Perfect explanation!! I really needed to have this information in just in this way. I’ve never known the process/details related to our digestive system in a way that I could grasp, utilize, and hopefully share, but I feel like my understanding is increasing at a good pace without overwhelming me. I’m so grateful. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
I used to eat horribly as a child by school food and Indian commodities. I was always constipated and never told anyone. I would go several days without a BM and even then it was not a comfortable thing or even match the amount of food I took in. This continued into my early adult years. I went to the doctor and er so many times in my early 20s with horrible pain in my stomach that radiated to my back and down my legs. The doctors would just send me home with pain meds because they didn't know why but they also didn't do any tests at all! Finally one doctor did an xray which shown constipation. She told me to eat activia, fiber bars, and stay away from bananas. Still to this day that makes zero sense. They referred me because I told them I had bloody stools all the time and did a colonoscopy which showed nothing. But at least my bowels were cleared out from the laxatives! So I began to just pray about it and one time I seen a picture of a banana on pinterest and it said 5 things you should eat. Now why would the doctor and pinterest both tell me to stay away from bananas lol. (I grew up in Hawaii the the first 2years of my life, mangoes and bananas all day everyday and for sure wasn't constipated according to my parents!) So I clicked on the pinterest photo and it wasn't telling me not to eat bananas, it was saying do not eat GMOs, processed food, pop, processed sugars, etc. So I switched immediately to eating grains, fruits, vegetables, organic, local, foraging, hunting wild game and local fishing. Just back to eating what I ate before I was fed government food. I no longer have any issues! It's videos like this one that have helped me the past 8 years, not fiber bars! Which btw cause horrible gas and you still won't have a BM! I even enjoy eating bananas!
Thanks for sharing, Anna. Sometimes it’s just going back to our beautiful Mother Earth’s supply. You’ve encouraged me to believe I can solve for my 14 year old son’s chronic problem.
Thank you! This is the most helpful advice and information I've ever received from the internet community. Ever. It's precise and concise. I have nothing but respect for this man when it comes to patient care...typically missing in modern medicine 'dispensers'. I know believe most GPs are 'receptionists' for a huge medical cartel, they know only how to direct human bodies to pharmaceuticals, specialists and surgeons. In the olden days, the average GP knew and understood even the patients home life and current stress levels and, thus, could better understand symptoms, and could critically assess their patients more effectively prior to calling in specialists or recommending surgery or pharma meds. Today? A GP barely recognizes a patient in the street...they either don't know them as humans or they aren't just aren't interested,
Dr Berg your videos are so easy to understand and easy to follow. I can tell you that following your advice has greatly improved my digestion and without sounding too gross, I've never had better bowel movements than now.
My mother's fiance gave himself a hernia a few months ago. After 3 bays of no bowel movements, he went to the hospital and told him what was going on, and yes he told them about the hernia. They sent him home with a prescription for laxatives. Three days later he was in surgery. WTF is wrong with doctors these days?
Please, anyone, don't misconstrue the comment I am about to write: I love you, Dr. Berg! Your PASSION to help people learn what so many other doctor's Aren't saying makes me emotional, because I have this same passion, even though I am not a doctor. I share what I have been learning, for almost 20 years now. Some people listen. Some people are kind, but brush what I say off. -- Then, I found your you tube videos several months ago. WoW! You tell the 'whys' , etc. about things, AND then...you offer solutions!!! Your information can bring Life-giving Health! -' Thank You, Dr Berg, for All that you do to help people's health! -- It is making Changes for those who listen, learn, and do something/ some things about whatever is their/our health issue(s)!!!
I love all of your posts. But I would argue that water consumption will affect bowel performance far more than fiber. Worked for big pharma for 13 years. I trained retailers on gastrointestinal health. That does not make me a med focused person but it did educate me on general lower bowel digestion. I get the need for fiber and veg based vitamins... but water consumption moves bowels faster than anything. Low fluid= constipation.
I never had constipation when I used to eat 3-4 times a day. But when I started fasting/keto and eating once a day I got constipation since there was not much waste created and nothing triggered bowel movements, especially if you fast for 24 hours or more.
Thank you Dr Berg, I never knew it took 36 hours for compete digestion of food. No wonder just before I discovered Keto I didn't feel well after surgery so I didn't eat for 3 days. I had my appendix removed. Thankfully, cruising through utube I found you. I never heard of Keto before. My story on how I began Keto.
Dr Berg..You ROCK sir! I have had to be on antiobiotics a couple times in my life and NOT ONE Dr told me to take probiotics while taking antiobiotics...not one. You would think that they would, because its KINDA IMPORTANT but No, they didnt- so I had to find out the hard way
Hi! Did you consult a doctor? I've been dealing with constipation for over a month now. This is new to me as my bowel movements used to be very normal. The last time I 'went' was last February, and it was after a party I went to.
Fairly recently I had to go to the hospital with a bad case of constipation. It was very painful and to the doctors and male nurse who helped me I will always remember you. I must have atoned for a lot of sins that day.
Thank you so much for this video! I have been waiting for a video that someone that doesn't JUST say eat more fiber and drink more water. i have a feeling my life long constipation started when I wouldn't "go" when my body called for it. And when I had an eating disorder, all when I was in my late teens, early twenties. I am 42 now, but I feel that is what started my constipation started.
I very rarely get constipated or diarrhea, but when I do, I know exactly why: lots of empty calories, too much and too frequent eating, and also stress. When I do OMAD fasting, eat clean, hydrate well and exercise regularly I have no digestion problems whatsoever.
I am in the same boat. Stress, junk food, too much processed/fried food, and being sedentary result in constipation. I have mild lactose intolerance which is the cause for diarrhea at times.
This might be the most helpful video I've ever seen about the digestive system. Thank you Dr Berg, as a person who allowed the mutilation of the gallbladder without it being necessary, I have found this video very interesting since after that surgery I've been dealing with episodes of constipation - diarrhea - anxiety - depression - fear for 8 yrs. The doctors ruined my life but I'm following your tips and other functional doctors' tips and it looks like I'm getting better. I will NEVER EVER trust my health to conventional, ignorant, arrogant, stupid doctors... Much less after seeing SO MANY pseudo medical doctors recommending experimental shots even to the kids.
Have you tried doing a parasite cleanse? I don't have a gallbladder either and was constipated also until I started doing parasite cleanses for a few months
If you had horrible pain already your doctor had no other choice. My father's did not take his gallbladder on time knowing he had a big stone and my father almost died of pancreatitis. My sister had to go ER during covid because of her gallbladder and was lucky that she didn't die, doctors where not doing gallbladder surgeries and thank God they didn't say she had COVID and kept her in.
Interesting. Usually when I’m constipated, which actually is a lot, my go to is to pump some apples, oatmeal and water through my body. But the last time I tried this, it seemed like it didn’t work or the process was slower and I couldn’t figure out why. Apparently there is more going on in my body that I need to figure out...thank you as usual!
Another great video, doc. I'll be doing a 7 day fast soon as I know my body needs it. Despite being on a OMAD program I still feel a bit constipated, although eating less has made a massive positive difference. Also, I am glad you mentioned the nervous system. Many of probably don't realize that we are stuck in survival/sympathetic mode, and have simply adapted to living this way. It is however the state of dis-ease, should we remain in this state for too long. I am currently working more with my vagus nerve by way of emotional-thought work, as well as acupressure, qi-gong, yoga and generally getting my body feeling that it is safe and secure and can relax and be at-ease. Thanks, Dr. Berg!!
@@weshendrikx9754 I have not, but I will have a look for sure, thanks. It's going very well actually. With the QI Gong I have found I am able to create energy programs, so I'm working on creating some for sale, yeah. Also, I learned another couple of cool things recently: Holographic Manipulation Therapy and Quantum Jumping-very cool stuff.
Rob H. - I loved that he mentioned the parasympathetic information too. I'm learning the relax state of mind myself. I have faith in Jesus. So then I could take the love, deliverance and promises He has for us to calm myself. I then had peace and I focused that into my body to heal from abuse, I am now out of. I was trained to tense my body when I wasn't being treated right. I didn't realize how important the parasympathetic nervous system is and what chronic stress can do to us. So now I am retraining myself to consciously relax my stomach and bowels. Getting relief now. I know I had turned off, unknowingly, my digestive processes. Thank God I know now! Jesus is good and helps us with this information. The one who created Quantum Theory too. Love it! I agree with you, great video.
@@kims2963 I'm so glad to hear someone give thanks to Jesus. I put my trust in Him as well. Although I'm reluctant to ask or pray for myself, He led me to Dr.Berg after I prayed for physical healing. I have only been following Dr.Berg a few months. My sciatic nerve injury was nearly 5 years ago. I only wish I had prayed sooner. He wants to help his people. Sorry 4 the lengthy reply. God Bless. Ps.3:8. Cf
i've been experimenting on my chronic constipation for a while, and psyllium husk fiber capsules made my constipation worse. What i found was the best remedy was Pomegranate fruit (eating the seeds & all).
Dr. Berg 💜 I have been watching your videos for 4 years. The white board, white background and longer videos. I loved you then and most definitely STILL DO xoxo 💜 thank you for your help, hard work and dedication to your viewer's health. May you continue to be blessed with health, prosperity and happiness. Karen as well xoxo 💚🌹💞
Going from OMAD to eating about 4 meals in a 8-10 hour window really helped my digestion, aswell as my muscle protein synthesis. I really love fasting though and when my bile production and metabolism have adapted I will continue IF.
@@hey956 Yes and yes. I tried lowering fat, taking ox bile etc. Now when I eat at more times per day I get way less bloated, way less undigested parts in the stool and all. I'm gonna keep doing this for a while.
@@TheFBM2011 Extend your eating window, eat more frequent and more fatty (but not too fatty so it floats). That fixed my indigestion and lack of bile. Aswell as Dandelion root (love that one) and some Ox bile. Of course in the future I will start reintroducing fasting, because I love that. But I'm not sure if I can handle it now. I got pretty cold at times too, so I suspect I might have hypothyroid.
I have learned that you really need to listen to your body, we usually know why that happens. I took a gut health test. They told me what kind of bacteria I am lacking, I started following the diet they suggested. Take magnesium, pre and probiotics, stopped drinking while eating, meditating is really important as well. I noticed that anxiety triggers my intestine. But every time I eat I follow how I feel, your body talks to you, you just need to listen.
Constipation also occurs when you are too stressed or emotionally bombarded. The way we feel has a serious impact on how our stomach functions and overall our entire digestive system. For instance, if you are emotionally tense you end up either having constipation or bloated.
I never had the problem of constipation until 2020, when I got super depressed and emotionally exhausted. I have been struggling with constipation ever since, even after the initial trauma was over. I've tried so many things to get rid of it, but nothing has worked to get me regular.
Wow, Dr Eric, a very comprehensive view of the digestive system to avoid constipation. It's not just the lack of fibre. Thank you & God bless your sharing of your knowledge.
I am grateful for this. Your work is so helpful. Reducing stress helps. So too, for me, is to not eat while I'm stressed. Perhaps some stress, like conflicting personalities, can't be avoided. You can't pick your family, you need your job, and neighbors aren't easy to change. But, you don't have to eat. Bile salts are essential, and, lots of leafy greens, as fresh as you can find them. The only canned vegetables I will eat is green beans, because they're the only vegetable you can get in a can that hasn't had it's skin removed, and half the texture of lightly steamed carrots is the contrast between the tougher skin and the softer flesh. It's really sad that people only eat the equivalent of a can of vegetables each day.
I cant thank enough Dr.Berg .I have the same situation .Whenever i cut on carbs and drink more water my costipation go away .But when I do keto I am fine .
I hit the planet constipated. My whole bloody life has been this way. With 1 exception. 6 months ok following an 11day water 💧only fast. Now, no matter what combination of your products I do, still bloody constipated. 🤷♀️ I fast 36 hrs regularly just so I don't wind up lookin 6 months pregnant & when all else fails, 🤪 coffee enemas time. Have dealt with parasites, bacteria overgrowth. . Nothing . . So frustrating 😫 thanks doc. But could you please figure out the backorder situation with your supplements 😮 tough to be consistent when your company isn't 🤔 forever love ❤💜💗
I was constipated for years and i think the best thing you can take if you have been absolutely smashing junk food like i was, is choline. I didn't know this when i started taking it but choline is brilliant for digestion. it makes bile more fluid and gives the bowels the neurotransmitters necessary for digestion. Seriously i started taking it and had massive bowel movements.
@@eviekelpie1 choline bitartrate powder off amazon. I put them inside gelatin capsules that i have. I started taking them to assist fatty liver but the relief from constipation is such a big win.
Thank you so much! I used to be a huge fan of junk foods and carbonated beverages and I assume they were another factors to blame that greatly contributed to my constipation today.
I’m doing raw diet right now and it’s tak8ng me three days to go. I eat five cups of raw mixed salad vegetables every day, nuts, seeds, oranges, avocado, apple, and still nothing. 🙄🙄🙄
If I eat too much fiber then I get backed up! Especially if I have a Lotta cruciferous vegetables, it just stays in my guts like a rock! I’m pretty healthy otherwise but there’s something about those types of foods that I enjoy but they bind me up. I usually have to take magnesium to get things moving
Yes almost always cooked and i drink lots of water. Honestly, stress and anxiety have the biggest effects on my digestion, more than the food i eat. Might be a mild IBS-C
Exercise for constipation,and outside with people there are good tutorials, probiotics,mental health care... family's colon disease?.gave you been checked?.good luck
When I hit my mid-50's I started noticing a stool change to more hard, sometimes very hard. No matter what I did nothing changed. Drank more water, probiotics, nothing changed. About a year ago I came across a Dr. Berg video on hard stools could be lack of good HCL in the stomach. I gave it a go and started taking an HCL and it wasn't the next day but it was pretty darn quick and my stools began to soften up and for the last year not a hard stool problem once. I was truly amazed HCL would make that much difference. Now I only take a maintenance dose if I seem to notice a little difference. Not saying every situation, we're all different but like me if you'd tried everything but HCL, give it a go. For me now at 67, Dr. Berg's advice was a game changer. Thanks Dr. Berg.
I have been drinking homemade bone broth for the last month, 3 glasses a day until dinner time, then I eat a balanced meal of steamed veggies, a small amount of chicken or eggs and sometimes a green smoothie and a side of fruit. it has changed my life.
I had a soup of bone broth, u love it. But i had diarrhea after and oainful bowel movements. Could it mean I dont digest fats corretly? Broth was really fatty, I made it from a chicken
@@rebeka145 possibly could be the fats making your body purge toxins too quickly. Try skimming 75% Of the fat at the top after it cools. Save the tallow for cooking, it’s super nutritious 🙏
I listening. Recently i had quite a disagreement with a health food store employee. He was more about "more fiber" i said fiber seems to make me sick. Funny he didn't even mention any of this stuff. Now a dayz im learning all about this stuff.
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🌞 Thank you so very much sharing this very interesting information with everybody 🙏 May God sorround you with grace & peace ! ☕ 5 / 14 / 2021 ☕
I have learned so much from you Dr Berg, I hope you understand how much good change you have brought to my diet/life and to many others. I can't thank you enough!
Thanks for the insights, Dr. Berg. My 14 year old son has suffered with chronic constipation his whole life and was hospitalized when he was 5 for three days. 😓 We have never been able to figure it out and was told that it’s psychological and that he holds it. He did hold it at school because of his discomfort with going in public but he’s been home the last year due to COVID and still no progress. Celiac disease just got ruled out recently. He doesn’t eat much at all and is very skinny with an often protruding stomach. I think his growth has been affected by this problem. I will try the raw veggies, scaling back his carbs, finding foods with high potassium and magnesium for both of us, and looking at what additional fats we can add. The day we resolve this issue is the day I was feel so incredibly relieved.
I suffered from constipation for a long time and my Dr prescribed taking fiber supplement. It made it much worse. She said I should drink a lot of water with it. I was drinking 3-4 liters of water! I accidentally found that eating lots of fruits helps and it did, until I got liver problem due to consuming huge amount of sugary fruits. Now that I I am on keto and consume lots of vegetables, I have had no problem!
I have never ever seen a doctor like you! You are a blessing to the universe and I can't say how much I'm lucky to get to know you! You are a saviour!!!
My GP just prescribes loads of laxatives & tells me to take 4 different ones together. I’ve been doing OMAD and Keto for 4 months now and finally my big C is starting to correct itself. At the risk of jinxing things, I’ve gone from a 12-15 day to 4 days. This is huge for me. I also tried acupressure points today.
Dr..Eric Berg is a noble doctor. Rarely, I saw someone so knowledgeable, so abundantly sharing that life saving knowledge and so simple like him. Indeed a saint like man, a gift of God to us!!
Thank you so much for the support!
Well...HIS SON DOESN'T SHARE THAT SAME SENTIMENT DEAR. HE'S ON TIKTOK LEAKING OUT HIS DADS EVIL REAL SELF. GO LISTEN ianrafalko
@@freekomo2172 ...wow, I would never have expected something like that. Haven't ever heard of anything bad about Dr Berg before
@@freekomo2172 There are two sides to every story. Dr. Berg provides valuable medical advice for free on social media platforms. Whatever is going on in his private life should be private. It's terrible for a son to undermine his dad in public. If something criminal was actually done then that should be handled in the correct fashion and not on social media.
@@Drberg If you don't have a gallbladder could that lead to too much bile and if so what can you do about it?
Real insight on understanding digestion and constipation, something no doctor of mines has ever explained properly to me. I had to learn it from a UA-cam video, is shameful. Dr Berg is for the people, and his legacy is a gift to us.
The doctor I tried only said that don't impress me much. After that i gave up with medical.
Me too. I have had to be my own detective.
They don’t know that’s why
I have never been constipated and that is even when I've had to take pain medication in the past. My sister on the other hand, has always had the opposite problem. A couple months ago she was real sick for a couple of months throwing up throwing up. I kept telling her to go to the doctor finally, one night she felt so ill she thought she was dying. She called the ambulance got to the hospital and they started running tests on her. Well she had a blocked colon and her sugar was 538. Needless to say, she was in the hospital for about 2 weeks and as a part of doing all this work, up they found a mass on the head of her pancreas. So, I do believe what you're saying about constipation not being a disease in itself but being part of whatever is going on in your body. I believe that because of this mass on the head of the pancreas, caused her sugar to go up and caused her bowel blockage. Now on this coming Monday she has to have surgery to take out the cancer. Fortunately, because of this blockage they found it early and as far as they can see, it has not spread anywhere else. Which is is extremely unusual for this type of cancer. Everybody has to listen to what their body is telling them. And if you know what to look for then you can take care of the problem. So I'm glad I did listen to this video. Thank you.
@Violett Fem thank you violet, we appreciate all prayers. And I do like your name Violet fern. Very lovely.
All the best for your sister
Blessings
Praying for healing, speedy recovery and wholeness.
Thank you all for your concern and your prayers. And to the doctor who introduced me to this diet and even though I've had problems with the diet. Initially I lost weight on the program. I have so many health problems myself that I do believe I gain weight from the medicine I take. I believe mine has to do with hormones too. But bless you all for thinking of my sister.. I'm crying right now as I send this message to you all who have given me a thumbs up or replied. . It's been more devastating to me than anything else that I've had to deal with with my own health. My sister's diagnosis has really devastated me.. She is so scared because she has had one surgery in her life and it's when she was seven. I've had six surgeries on each of my knees and my gallbladder removed two c-sections spinal fusion, So you see, if I could do it for her I would. God bless you all.
I was researching this topic and you've just uploaded this. You are a saint, sir.

Me too. I find magnesium really helps. 500mg per day

Mine might have been related to thyroid hormones are needed for gut peristalsis, metabolism and nerve signaling. Gut peristalsis are the movements that make your stool travel.
For th3 and th4 production in the thyroid, the minerals and nutrients to do it, iron, zinc and iodine, and iodine needs good selenium levels also, some fat and vit A. Look out for mineral blockers (coffee, turmeric).
Other adjustments that I made: regular salt, eating foods with B1 and no sulfites (block B1, present in salad dressings, bottled lemon juice, etc.).
Best of luck to you on your journey!
Drastically cutting my fiber intake solved the issue for me.
Never had a problem with constipation until I started intermittent fasting. More fiber during my eating window has helped but I may try these other recommendations to pinpoint the issue. Thanks Dr. Berg!
@@anonymous-cx7ng maybe check zinc and potassium as he stated.
i started taking zinc and potassium, i'm at far better place.
Mark Hoey Same here. IF + Keto seems to result in constipation despite exercise, lots of vegetables, salade, Fibre doesnt seem to help either.
@@purplefee9210 agreed. Alot of these videos have good advice but they certantly aren't for everyone. everyones body acts different.
@@turbompson4546 thats why they always say talk to ur doctor before u take anything.
It may be due to the lack of food volume being consumed while fasting. Low intake of food and higher physical demand from the body causes constipation or much less frequent bowel movements. That's my observation anyway. Thats my personal observations anyway.

New Dr Berg-inspired salad idea that I eat every day: sauerkraut, celery, and broccoli sprouts with a squeeze of lemon and splash of olive oil. Delicious!
Love seeing the WHOLE picture for the very first time. Thank you!
I can say you're absolutely right! I've been constipated for years! My belly was so big people used to ask me if I was pregnant! Couple months ago doctors found out I have a autoimmune liver disease. My gallbladder was not producing enough bile, now I'm on a certain medication to help with the disease and I'm less constipated! Thanks God! Amazing how the body works!!
What medicine are u on?
@@Angel-is2ie it's Cholurso 1000mg per Day
The best constipation medicine ever I take daily is : Leeks. adding some of them to my breakfast/ brunch omelette, which is cooked with olive oil, and it regulates going to the toilet almost the same time everyday.
Hi! How old are you? And were there other symptoms that occured when you initially suffered from constipation?
This man is a genius and a life saver. Every single video is so knowledgeable wether you need to watch it or not. Amazing information as always. Your helping the world at a great time of need with the great content your putting out. Thank you so much!
Probably one of the most interesting videos recently.
My stress was the problem for my constipation and I notice when I started eating cabbage it really helped a lot and it works wonders if you steam it instead of cooking it because you will lose all the nutrients.
I wish stress was also the reason fro my constipation. This worries me so much.
But I don't mean to disregard your problem. I'm sorry if I sounded like I was writing you off. Please take care and stay healthy.
Thank you for your persevering work. Information from some of your past videos helped me understand that a crisis about 8 days ago was self-induced low potassium. A quick, temporary correction of a couple of days of potassium gluconate supplementation, plus long-term revised nutrition to improve potassium and other electrolyte levels, more consistent hydration, and finally cutting sugar completely, saved me from a visit to critical care or a hospital, and as of yesterday has me completely back on track. Thank you again. You share life-saving information. Thank you again again.
What can we ever do without you Dr Berg? You are saving the world. The best Doctor for LIFE. Thanks sir. God bless you and yours immensely.
Dr Berg is really a saint, I have been closely following his contents for close to 2 years. One of his video explaining on the chain-relationship of stomach acid, heart burn and bloating literally cured my wife's chronic and severe problem of bloating, constipation and lost of sleeps, the problem has been with her for close to 10 years despite consulting many doctors. Thank you, Dr. Berg.

I just went through this! I am a little angry because medical doctors are mistreating their patients by not getting to the root cause. I started to talk about the history of my constipation and he cut me off!
This is true, but it's also the patient's responsibility to not be sick unnecessarily due to their own negligence. There's enough blame to go around, but it's up to patients to take responsibility and then doctors will be forced to do better.
My doctor thinks I'm a hypochondriac.
Time for a new doctor.

Thank you for this Dr. Berg! I have suffered with constipation since I was 10 years old. I am now 41. I have had an colonoscopy and nothing was found. My water intake is more than I actually need because I'm afraid I will get constipated. I can't eat cheese and other dairy because I get clogged immediately but I take supplements to substitute. I do 16/8 IF also. After this video, I honestly believe that my constipation is the result stress. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Aniexty and I am managing it well but I do channel my stress internally if that makes sense. Your video truly enlightened me and now I'm going to tell my husband that you said to send me on vacation! 😂🤣😂 I'm kidding!!! Thank you for loving us so much by sharing this information with us! Peace and blessings to you Dr.!!! ❤❤
I had same problem as a kid and when I was a vegan. Nothing was found ,why I was constipated. Lots of water , smoothies and salads. Then I changed to keto / carnivore. Not much fiber but lots of fat and protein. And I don't have problems now. Too much fiber is not good . One size doesn't fit all. Definitely I needed fat in my diet . Now I dont have problems ,if I over eat on salads problems starts again. So o know for me keto/ carnivore is the way to go.
If you believe it to be from stress, you may want to do some research or try out Ashwagandha. It's just a dietary supplement that you can get in pill or powder form. It's know the help relieve stress. Try adding fermented foods to your diet like Kimchi or Sauerkraut. It has good bacteria & probiotics that helps with overall digestive system and much more.

Wonderful video!!! Perfect explanation!! I really needed to have this information in just in this way. I’ve never known the process/details related to our digestive system in a way that I could grasp, utilize, and hopefully share, but I feel like my understanding is increasing at a good pace without overwhelming me. I’m so grateful. Thank you Dr. Berg!!
I used to eat horribly as a child by school food and Indian commodities. I was always constipated and never told anyone. I would go several days without a BM and even then it was not a comfortable thing or even match the amount of food I took in. This continued into my early adult years. I went to the doctor and er so many times in my early 20s with horrible pain in my stomach that radiated to my back and down my legs. The doctors would just send me home with pain meds because they didn't know why but they also didn't do any tests at all! Finally one doctor did an xray which shown constipation. She told me to eat activia, fiber bars, and stay away from bananas. Still to this day that makes zero sense. They referred me because I told them I had bloody stools all the time and did a colonoscopy which showed nothing. But at least my bowels were cleared out from the laxatives! So I began to just pray about it and one time I seen a picture of a banana on pinterest and it said 5 things you should eat. Now why would the doctor and pinterest both tell me to stay away from bananas lol. (I grew up in Hawaii the the first 2years of my life, mangoes and bananas all day everyday and for sure wasn't constipated according to my parents!) So I clicked on the pinterest photo and it wasn't telling me not to eat bananas, it was saying do not eat GMOs, processed food, pop, processed sugars, etc. So I switched immediately to eating grains, fruits, vegetables, organic, local, foraging, hunting wild game and local fishing. Just back to eating what I ate before I was fed government food. I no longer have any issues! It's videos like this one that have helped me the past 8 years, not fiber bars! Which btw cause horrible gas and you still won't have a BM! I even enjoy eating bananas!
@Bok Choy I hate it too and now I want to keep my kids from having to eat it! Even snack time is a koolaid pouch and fruit snacks or chips 🙄

Good morning! Thank you so much for this video because I suffer from constipation.
Very glad to be of help.
Thank you! This is the most helpful advice and information I've ever received from the internet community. Ever. It's precise and concise. I have nothing but respect for this man when it comes to patient care...typically missing in modern medicine 'dispensers'. I know believe most GPs are 'receptionists' for a huge medical cartel, they know only how to direct human bodies to pharmaceuticals, specialists and surgeons. In the olden days, the average GP knew and understood even the patients home life and current stress levels and, thus, could better understand symptoms, and could critically assess their patients more effectively prior to calling in specialists or recommending surgery or pharma meds. Today? A GP barely recognizes a patient in the street...they either don't know them as humans or they aren't just aren't interested,
Dr Berg your videos are so easy to understand and easy to follow. I can tell you that following your advice has greatly improved my digestion and without sounding too gross, I've never had better bowel movements than now.
Good news!
My mother's fiance gave himself a hernia a few months ago. After 3 bays of no bowel movements, he went to the hospital and told him what was going on, and yes he told them about the hernia. They sent him home with a prescription for laxatives. Three days later he was in surgery. WTF is wrong with doctors these days?
Please, anyone, don't misconstrue the comment I am about to write: I love you, Dr. Berg! Your PASSION to help people learn what so many other doctor's Aren't saying makes me emotional, because I have this same passion, even though I am not a doctor. I share what I have been learning, for almost 20 years now. Some people listen. Some people are kind, but brush what I say off. -- Then, I found your you tube videos several months ago. WoW! You tell the 'whys' , etc. about things, AND then...you offer solutions!!! Your information can bring Life-giving Health! -' Thank You, Dr Berg, for All that you do to help people's health! -- It is making Changes for those who listen, learn, and do something/ some things about whatever is their/our health issue(s)!!!
Always informative straightforword information that most Dr's won't give you. Thank you Dr Berg.
I love all of your posts. But I would argue that water consumption will affect bowel performance far more than fiber. Worked for big pharma for 13 years. I trained retailers on gastrointestinal health. That does not make me a med focused person but it did educate me on general lower bowel digestion. I get the need for fiber and veg based vitamins... but water consumption moves bowels faster than anything. Low fluid= constipation.
I never had constipation when I used to eat 3-4 times a day. But when I started fasting/keto and eating once a day I got constipation since there was not much waste created and nothing triggered bowel movements, especially if you fast for 24 hours or more.
So your saying intermittent fasting caused constipation?
Dr Berg why did you insert that graphic video of someone pooping lmaoooo
Dr Berg always post right what I’m looking for at the perfect moment
Thank you Dr Berg, I never knew it took 36 hours for compete digestion of food. No wonder just before I discovered Keto I didn't feel well after surgery so I didn't eat for 3 days. I had my appendix removed. Thankfully, cruising through utube I found you. I never heard of Keto before. My story on how I began Keto.
Dr Berg..You ROCK sir! I have had to be on antiobiotics a couple times in my life and NOT ONE Dr told me to take probiotics while taking antiobiotics...not one. You would think that they would, because its KINDA IMPORTANT but No, they didnt- so I had to find out the hard way
Thank you this is remarkable. A clear
picture of how the digestive system
functions.

Great video!! Constipation is one of my problems... Used to take laxative and took me years to get back to normal movement naturally.
Hi! Did you consult a doctor?
I've been dealing with constipation for over a month now. This is new to me as my bowel movements used to be very normal.
The last time I 'went' was last February, and it was after a party I went to.
@@Sandro-qq4xb how are you now
Fairly recently I had to go to the hospital with a bad case of constipation. It was very painful and to the doctors and male nurse who helped me I will always remember you. I must have atoned for a lot of sins that day.

Dr. Berg has helped me with so many issues. And here he does It again. Thank you Very much!
Very glad to be of help.

LOL !
Another important cause of constipation could be the lack of movement/workout...
@@loredanaprofir3270 true! Yoga helps me alot!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been waiting for a video that someone that doesn't JUST say eat more fiber and drink more water. i have a feeling my life long constipation started when I wouldn't "go" when my body called for it. And when I had an eating disorder, all when I was in my late teens, early twenties. I am 42 now, but I feel that is what started my constipation started.
Hi! May I know what the eating disorder that you dealt with was?
I very rarely get constipated or diarrhea, but when I do, I know exactly why: lots of empty calories, too much and too frequent eating, and also stress. When I do OMAD fasting, eat clean, hydrate well and exercise regularly I have no digestion problems whatsoever.
I am in the same boat. Stress, junk food, too much processed/fried food, and being sedentary result in constipation. I have mild lactose intolerance which is the cause for diarrhea at times.
It's absolutely correct. Less stomach acid leads to constipation. I take hcl and my constipation and psoriasis symptoms goes down.
How do you take hcl its acid know
This might be the most helpful video I've ever seen about the digestive system. Thank you Dr Berg, as a person who allowed the mutilation of the gallbladder without it being necessary, I have found this video very interesting since after that surgery I've been dealing with episodes of constipation - diarrhea - anxiety - depression - fear for 8 yrs. The doctors ruined my life but I'm following your tips and other functional doctors' tips and it looks like I'm getting better. I will NEVER EVER trust my health to conventional, ignorant, arrogant, stupid doctors... Much less after seeing SO MANY pseudo medical doctors recommending experimental shots even to the kids.
That's awful but glad to hear you're gradually feeling better!
Have you tried doing a parasite cleanse? I don't have a gallbladder either and was constipated also until I started doing parasite cleanses for a few months
Agree!♥️
@@bruinrosehow do you do it?
If you had horrible pain already your doctor had no other choice.
My father's did not take his gallbladder on time knowing he had a big stone and my father almost died of pancreatitis.
My sister had to go ER during covid because of her gallbladder and was lucky that she didn't die, doctors where not doing gallbladder surgeries and thank God they didn't say she had COVID and kept her in.
Educational and informative!
Dr. Berg; you're the best!
Thank you for these invaluable videos!
Happy that you found it useful!
I feel as if you're listening to and made this video for me personally. Thank you so very much. I'm taking notes
Interesting. Usually when I’m constipated, which actually is a lot, my go to is to pump some apples, oatmeal and water through my body. But the last time I tried this, it seemed like it didn’t work or the process was slower and I couldn’t figure out why. Apparently there is more going on in my body that I need to figure out...thank you as usual!
I take mct coconut oil and 10ml magnesium citrate daily. Works great! No more constipation.

Another great video, doc. I'll be doing a 7 day fast soon as I know my body needs it. Despite being on a OMAD program I still feel a bit constipated, although eating less has made a massive positive difference. Also, I am glad you mentioned the nervous system. Many of probably don't realize that we are stuck in survival/sympathetic mode, and have simply adapted to living this way. It is however the state of dis-ease, should we remain in this state for too long. I am currently working more with my vagus nerve by way of emotional-thought work, as well as acupressure, qi-gong, yoga and generally getting my body feeling that it is safe and secure and can relax and be at-ease. Thanks, Dr. Berg!!
Have you heard of Irene Lyon’s teachings on the nervous system? Might be something for you . How is accu pressure, yoga and qi gong for you?
@@weshendrikx9754 I have not, but I will have a look for sure, thanks. It's going very well actually. With the QI Gong I have found I am able to create energy programs, so I'm working on creating some for sale, yeah. Also, I learned another couple of cool things recently: Holographic Manipulation Therapy and Quantum Jumping-very cool stuff.
Rob H. - I loved that he mentioned the parasympathetic information too. I'm learning the relax state of mind myself. I have faith in Jesus. So then I could take the love, deliverance and promises He has for us to calm myself. I then had peace and I focused that into my body to heal from abuse, I am now out of. I was trained to tense my body when I wasn't being treated right. I didn't realize how important the parasympathetic nervous system is and what chronic stress can do to us. So now I am retraining myself to consciously relax my stomach and bowels. Getting relief now. I know I had turned off, unknowingly, my digestive processes. Thank God I know now! Jesus is good and helps us with this information. The one who created Quantum Theory too. Love it! I agree with you, great video.
@@kims2963 I'm so glad to hear someone give thanks to Jesus. I put my trust in Him as well. Although I'm reluctant to ask or pray for myself, He led me to Dr.Berg after I prayed for physical healing.

Going from OMAD to eating about 4 meals in a 8-10 hour window really helped my digestion, aswell as my muscle protein synthesis. I really love fasting though and when my bile production and metabolism have adapted I will continue IF.
Did you have constipation? And are you on keto?
@@hey956 Yes and yes. I tried lowering fat, taking ox bile etc. Now when I eat at more times per day I get way less bloated, way less undigested parts in the stool and all. I'm gonna keep doing this for a while.
I don’t know man since I switch my normal traditional healthy diet to IF, I’m definitely more bloated and constipated. Maybe lack of bile.
@@TheFBM2011 Extend your eating window, eat more frequent and more fatty (but not too fatty so it floats). That fixed my indigestion and lack of bile.
Aswell as Dandelion root (love that one) and some Ox bile.
Of course in the future I will start reintroducing fasting, because I love that. But I'm not sure if I can handle it now. I got pretty cold at times too, so I suspect I might have hypothyroid.
I have learned that you really need to listen to your body, we usually know why that happens. I took a gut health test. They told me what kind of bacteria I am lacking, I started following the diet they suggested. Take magnesium, pre and probiotics, stopped drinking while eating, meditating is really important as well. I noticed that anxiety triggers my intestine. But every time I eat I follow how I feel, your body talks to you, you just need to listen.
Constipation also occurs when you are too stressed or emotionally bombarded. The way we feel has a serious impact on how our stomach functions and overall our entire digestive system. For instance, if you are emotionally tense you end up either having constipation or bloated.
So true!
I never had the problem of constipation until 2020, when I got super depressed and emotionally exhausted. I have been struggling with constipation ever since, even after the initial trauma was over. I've tried so many things to get rid of it, but nothing has worked to get me regular.
@@nebulaone908 Hi! So do you mean to tell that your constipation didn't go away since 2020?
Please take care!
Wow, Dr Eric, a very comprehensive view of the digestive system to avoid constipation. It's not just the lack of fibre. Thank you & God bless your sharing of your knowledge.
I am grateful for this. Your work is so helpful. Reducing stress helps. So too, for me, is to not eat while I'm stressed. Perhaps some stress, like conflicting personalities, can't be avoided. You can't pick your family, you need your job, and neighbors aren't easy to change. But, you don't have to eat. Bile salts are essential, and, lots of leafy greens, as fresh as you can find them. The only canned vegetables I will eat is green beans, because they're the only vegetable you can get in a can that hasn't had it's skin removed, and half the texture of lightly steamed carrots is the contrast between the tougher skin and the softer flesh. It's really sad that people only eat the equivalent of a can of vegetables each day.
I find sloe ferox bitter crystal's work for stress/anxiety constipation. A south African product, I dont know if available in US
I cant thank enough Dr.Berg .I have the same situation .Whenever i cut on carbs and drink more water my costipation go away .But when I do keto I am fine .

@@sunnystiver2897 Drinking a glass of sauerkraut juice with every meal it can help
I was constipated for years and i think the best thing you can take if you have been absolutely smashing junk food like i was, is choline. I didn't know this when i started taking it but choline is brilliant for digestion. it makes bile more fluid and gives the bowels the neurotransmitters necessary for digestion. Seriously i started taking it and had massive bowel movements.
In liquid or tablet form? Can you buy it at the pharmacy?
@@eviekelpie1 choline bitartrate powder off amazon. I put them inside gelatin capsules that i have. I started taking them to assist fatty liver but the relief from constipation is such a big win.

"Constipation situation". Doctor Berg's euphemisms are the best 😂
This is awesome! I have a few friends who suffer from this. They always treat it with laxatives...instead of treating as a whole.

If I eat too much fiber then I get backed up! Especially if I have a Lotta cruciferous vegetables, it just stays in my guts like a rock! I’m pretty healthy otherwise but there’s something about those types of foods that I enjoy but they bind me up. I usually have to take magnesium to get things moving
You’re supposed to drink a lot of water with fiber.
Are the vegetables steamed ? Do not eat them raw
Yes almost always cooked and i drink lots of water. Honestly, stress and anxiety have the biggest effects on my digestion, more than the food i eat. Might be a mild IBS-C
Love you doc! Thank you for sharing such vital information!
My pleasure.
Thank so very much Dr Berg, so grateful you finally did a video on constipation. I am relived with the information

I appreciate the logically approach Dr berg gives
I have intractable constipation. I could eat salad and fiber tablets all day for 2 weeks and have bad constipation. All my life, I am only 39 now.
Go carnivore, mostly raw and see if that helps
Exercise for constipation,and outside with people there are good tutorials, probiotics,mental health care... family's colon disease?.gave you been checked?.good luck
Get some electrolytes and drink 2+ L of water per day

When I hit my mid-50's I started noticing a stool change to more hard, sometimes very hard. No matter what I did nothing changed. Drank more water, probiotics, nothing changed. About a year ago I came across a Dr. Berg video on hard stools could be lack of good HCL in the stomach. I gave it a go and started taking an HCL and it wasn't the next day but it was pretty darn quick and my stools began to soften up and for the last year not a hard stool problem once. I was truly amazed HCL would make that much difference. Now I only take a maintenance dose if I seem to notice a little difference. Not saying every situation, we're all different but like me if you'd tried everything but HCL, give it a go. For me now at 67, Dr. Berg's advice was a game changer. Thanks Dr. Berg.
Wonderful, wonderful topic. Thankful dr Berg for your precious advice ❤
Most welcome!
I have been drinking homemade bone broth for the last month, 3 glasses a day until dinner time, then I eat a balanced meal of steamed veggies, a small amount of chicken or eggs and sometimes a green smoothie and a side of fruit. it has changed my life.
How do you make bone broth?
@@Dream7773
There are tons of great recipes on UA-cam. All depends on your preference of chicken, beef or fish bones. 🙌😊
@@Dream7773 i forgot to add that I also use a lot of coconut and olive oil and grass fed butters 🙏
I had a soup of bone broth, u love it. But i had diarrhea after and oainful bowel movements. Could it mean I dont digest fats corretly? Broth was really fatty, I made it from a chicken
@@rebeka145 possibly could be the fats making your body purge toxins too quickly.
Try skimming 75%
Of the fat at the top after it cools. Save the tallow for cooking, it’s super nutritious 🙏
Eat less, sleep more if not busy, and keep your sleeping area secured.😊
I listening. Recently i had quite a disagreement with a health food store employee. He was more about "more fiber" i said fiber seems to make me sick. Funny he didn't even mention any of this stuff. Now a dayz im learning all about this stuff.

Constipation was NEVER about lack of fiber. Its EXCESS of fiber.
Exactly! So why eat more veggies
Following
@@CreatingintheWaiting eat nutrient rich, low carb vegys only.
@@lynnv8501 or don't eat them at all
Sauerkraut juice helps with digestion and thus against constipation
What a holistic approach! 👌🏼

Thanks for the insights, Dr. Berg. My 14 year old son has suffered with chronic constipation his whole life and was hospitalized when he was 5 for three days. 😓 We have never been able to figure it out and was told that it’s psychological and that he holds it. He did hold it at school because of his discomfort with going in public but he’s been home the last year due to COVID and still no progress. Celiac disease just got ruled out recently.
He doesn’t eat much at all and is very skinny with an often protruding stomach. I think his growth has been affected by this problem. I will try the raw veggies, scaling back his carbs, finding foods with high potassium and magnesium for both of us, and looking at what additional fats we can add. The day we resolve this issue is the day I was feel so incredibly relieved.
Check and see if the vegetables should be steam when starting a vegetable diet fiber increase I think can cause stomach pain as well.
Ck it out.
@@laelmom Thanks. Do you mean that raw is harder on the system or steamed?
@@trishm3002 The raw at first is hard on your system, so gradually move over from steamed to raw.
I hope he lives healthier and stronger going forward. Please take care!
@@trishm3002are you guys vegan?
I suffered from constipation for a long time and my Dr prescribed taking fiber supplement. It made it much worse. She said I should drink a lot of water with it. I was drinking 3-4 liters of water! I accidentally found that eating lots of fruits helps and it did, until I got liver problem due to consuming huge amount of sugary fruits. Now that I I am on keto and consume lots of vegetables, I have had no problem!
I have never ever seen a doctor like you! You are a blessing to the universe and I can't say how much I'm lucky to get to know you!
You are a saviour!!!
Glad to be of help!
My GP just prescribes loads of laxatives & tells me to take 4 different ones together. I’ve been doing OMAD and Keto for 4 months now and finally my big C is starting to correct itself. At the risk of jinxing things, I’ve gone from a 12-15 day to 4 days. This is huge for me. I also tried acupressure points today.
Hi! How are you now?
