The most critical factor for a flawless defecation on a regular basis is high quality deep Sleep. That is when peristalsis is flawless and your para sympathetic nervous system at its best in modulating MMC - migrating motor complex. Some of the stuff I've discovered that helps immensely. 1. Electrolytes and Hydration - potassium (critical), magnesium (important), salt (important), water intake (important,). 2. Amino acids - L-tryptophan (serotonin is critical for bowel motility), Glycine, Taurine (for bile, bile is critical for fecal volume, color, detoxification , and motility). 3. Methylation - B vitamins esp B6, folate, B12 and B3 influence bile output, detox pathways, bowel motility patterns. 4. Prebiotic fiber and polyphenols - help synthesise SCFA's that directly promote integrity of large bowel lining and act as fuel source- you could consider entric coated butyrate also. 5. Physical activity - critical to support blood circulation to your entire gut - Brisk walking, keggel, and stretching ezcersises of pelvic and abdominal reigion. 6. Finally Deep therapeutic Sleep - Avoid carbs/sugars/alcohol/caffeine/blue light at night , ++ potassium, magnesium, glycine, tryptophan, theanine, myo-inositol, folate.

I agree. And while all of these things may be healthy and beneficial to regularity, it doesn't explain why so many people who eat very imbalanced diets don't suffer from chronic constipation while others who are very diet and lifestyle conscious have to put in so much effort to go regularly. Something doesn't add up.@tamilynedwards8388
My whold life I suffered with constipation. In 2009 I completely changed lifestyle to a whole foods low-fat diet, plenty of exercise and vegetables. My constipation worsened. I went through years of pain in my digestive tract, trying everything. Until I cut vegetables out and went on a high fat carnivore diet and prolonged fasting. It healed my gut quickly and I have never felt better! No more gut pain or constipation- unless I add in too many veggies or seasonings. For me, high fat carnivore and fasting keeps me feeling light and energetic!!
@@peachy_reina chicken, but the main help is drinking lots of water and exercise. Also stretching helps especially lower body stretching. It helps relax and gets your anus to become more stretchable for stools to come out without causing bleeding of it.
bodies are specific. i was battling constipation all my life, severe constipation last 4 years (bowel movement 1 a week or less).. started eating more meat (not keto), low-carbohydrate diet, gluten free, soy free, dairy free (replacing all wheat, soy, oats, corn with legumes and nuts). Only quinoa once a week. If i eat pasta I eat lentil or bean pasta only. I eat low carbohydrate/keto bread. for me the difference is soluble and insoluble fiber.. beans made me poop finally.. i eat lots of veggies (cooked mostly, little amounts of salad - but that is all insoluble fiber). i take magnesium citrate one every 2 days. also drink 2 liters of water. and somehow it started to work. i was bloated at first from beans..but much much less when i do not eat other carbs with them like i used too. so beans, cooked veggies and meat. and nuts. my texture and frequency changed to normal. i still see difference within my menstrual cycle as i suspect that my digestion fluctuates with my hormones..and since i am pre-menopause and hashimoto my hormones are a mess... working on it... at least i am pooping regularly which helps with estrogen excess.. (i have fibroids too)...ah it never ends.. but beans and legumes and nuts seem to be working for me. and low carb. and walking and moving every day without exception.

I'm told I have Parkinson's, and for over a year I have had constipation. Two scans showed no blockage just constipation. However, two ERs and one GI doctor told me there was nothing they could or wouldn't help me. My view on this Medicare is rationing care. I over time have tried several over-the-counter meds and suggestions from other sufferers, and nothing. I do walk a mile daily. This condition became worse and I went hardcore and now drink two liters of room-temperature water over the day. After five I drink a laxative called Magnesium Citrate, sometime later I start purging watery stool four or five times. I do this every third day and I'm eating a lot less. The bad part I have to structure the day around this method. The good I have lost eight pounds over several weeks. After researching Parkinson's I discovered it affects the "autonomic system". It's in the brain and it is what makes the heartbeat your breathing and of course BMs without you having to think about it. Any readers of my post research drinking large amounts of water. It can be toxic to your kidneys.
Also try 2 Tblsp of Evoo, 2Tblsp of Epsom salt, 2Tblesp of Oj or grapefruit juice 3-5 cups start at 9pm 🕘 lay on your right side for 15minutes then start your 2cup on right side for 15min , start on your 3rd cup on your right side, then on your 4th cup you don’t have lag on your right side anymore. This will method will cleanse your Gallbladder and empty your stomach it’s powerful and relieve you for sure& feel better ❤️🩹 stay home. When trying this.
Castor oil works 100 percent, but it’s said it weakens natural peristalsis . I take Chinese herbs for my spleen and liver as well. Eat grass fed beef , fish etc organic vegetables,a little basmati rice , organic oats , Asian pear, etc . Need more info on castor oil.I take prebiotic fiber as well. 68
I also use that stuff. I've used the powder and the gummies and they are great! Finnally going more regularly but, still straining quite a bit. Prunes seem to work just as well. I eat a few and works great!😊
Great content, Dr Berg. And pressing gently underneath ribcage where gallbladder is and massaging downwards to help stimulate bile flow may also work. Thank you ❤
Yes, it sure does!!! This helped me so much. I tryed last night, and it was tender and sore! But, I did it anyway. Just took a minute. I slept and was comfortable through the night!😊
Hello Dr. Berg - thanks for the video! Over the last week I’ve been intermittent fasting until about 12:30pm or so, and I am less hungry, more energetic and have way more time on my hands now. My digestion has done a 180 and I feel much lighter and in control of my hunger and temptation. I was having issues with constipation, and I believe the fasting played a role in remedying this. But the game changer was cutting out cheese! I thought cheese would benefit my gut health, but cutting it out has been a life changing experience!!
@@isabellelam9606The caffeine (in the coffee along with possibly something coffee bean specific) stimulates your bowels - which is why a huge % of people can go do number 2 after drinking it. You’ll want to examine other areas of your diet/exercise/sleep components if it doesn’t.
When I stopped eating organic steel cut oatmeal, I stopped having a bowel movement. Oatmeal keeps me regular. Sorry, it’s the only thing that keeps me moving. Since, I rinse and soak the oats… most of the phytic acid and lectins are eliminated.
Amazing information Dr Berg I have cut down on veggies as I was troubled with leaky gut being a vegetarian, thankfully i have no trouble now and so thankful for this video.
I had the same result from the vegan diet. I can't believe how long I continued believing it would work when it WASN'T WORKING AND NEVER WAS GOING TO WORK. Thanks for letting me vent.
wow.. You are reading my mind.. I've been getting more constipated for the last month and I have taken a break from keto/IF (still doing lowish carbs but not counting carbs) but have been eating a lot more veggies a lot of which in raw form like broccoli and carrots and also salads. time to jump back on the wagon.
Can you make a video about how we can make absolutely sure that our colons are completely cleaned out and no dried feces are remaining on the colon wall? Please?
IMO, the easiest thing to do is, take 1000 to 1500mg of Magnesium Oxide. It's a very gentle way to get regular, and stay that way. Take it with the last meal of the day. It will take 2 or 3 days for it to get things going again, but then you shouldn't have a problem with constipation again. It's also safe to take Oxide everyday. If 1500mg gives you loose stools, then scale back to 1000mg. That's how you can tell if you are taking too much. It really depends on your diet. If you are doing carnivore, then it's really important to get in enough fat, but everything is low fat today, and so it can be hard to get in enough, so just use Magnesium Oxide till you find what you need fat wise for your diet.
It is impossible to have constipation issues if you eat a healthy amount of Canary/Yellow beans daily. I had constipation issues all my life and now that I'm 61 years old I have found what works for me. By the way, Yellow beans are by far the best tasting beans you have ever put in your mouth.
Not doing a 12M celebration video shows how humble this person is... Go, Dr. Berg! Edit: I'd be surprised if he didn't do it in the near future. He might have just didn't have the time.
@@Drberg It is kind of apparent that you will be a man left to be known in history. You should lay to rest that you've reached that title now, haha. I just don't have words to say because of how proud I am to see what a human being can become. You are marvelous, Dr. Berg. Wish the best for you and your whole team!
Slippery Elm and vitamin Chas helped me a lot along with your other recommendations. And the only bread I consume is Ezekiel in moderation. I’ve found your recommendations to work for me
Thank you for this video I have been dealing with chronic constipation for yrs, saw many experts who wanted to put in a colostomy. No way! I’ve changed my diet which helped & will try the Vit. B1 & magnesium
I was eating a lot of salad and wound up with really intensive constipation. For several months! I have since gone on the Carnivore diet and things are way better. At 84 years of age I don’t expect things to work perfect, but for me, veggies are a no-no!

✨🍍✨ *_In the short term: FRESH PINEAPPLE!_* I know it's a pain to prepare, but some stores have fresh pre-cut pineapple spears or chunks inside little refrigerated plastic cups.

Hi Dr Berg. Does intermittent fasting not slow gut motility and therefore lead to more constipation? Also are you no longer doing 7-10 cup salads daily?

Since I started taking akkermansia muciniphila a probiotic that eats mucus to make mucus, I haven't had a problem with constipation, which I would have several times a year, I also started making my own yougurt with lactobacillus rueteri and the akkermansia. Hopefully my constipation is gone for good only been doing this a month and was constipated when I started and that left in a few days and hasn't returned. I'm also taking b1 and magnesium so it could be a combination of all. Just happy to poop like a champion again. 😂 THANKS DOC
You need to see a doctor, that could be something serious, or not. I'm also carnivore which I think is by far the best diet for humans and their gut. Keto being second best.
Would you recommend this even when first starting out? I have a terrible history of surgeries due to constipation so I don't even want to chance it. Would having a little bit of cabbage every day be bad during the red meat, tallow, bone broth, salt stage?
Can you please do a video about the fermented milk product lactobacillus reuteri and gasseri and how it helps the microbiome or if it helps the microbiome
Yes, I'm making those, and about to do others too. I do trust Dr William Davis though about these. He's a scientist and doing genuine research papers on the topic. L.Reuteri is almost a fountain of youth fix for the western gut (missing since heavy antibiotic usage). Here are the benefits as found by the research: L.Reuteri: Better skin, accelerated healing, age reversing effect, increased feelings of empathy, protect against SIBO. L.Gasseri: Reduce weight, reduce IBS, reduce blood & urinary levels of oxalate (which causes kidney stones), reduce SIBO. There are also quite a few more that you can culture (using 36Hr yogurt culturing), with various different properties.
Kefir and yogurt are both beneficial fermented dairy products that can support gut health and promote overall wellness. However, kefir is generally considered the better option due to its exceptionally high concentrations of diverse probiotic strains. Here is an article for you 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/an-interesting-difference-between-yogurt-and-kefir
Do you think drinking senna tea every night is a safe way to treat constipation? I am vegan and that’s not changing so I don’t know what to do otherwise.
Hello, you can drink that when needed. Also magnesium citrate has been found beneficial in preventing headaches and nocturnal leg cramps and is often used to relieve constipation due to its natural laxative effects.
Dr. Berg's channel has several videos on types of magnesium and when to take them. I started taking the magnesium glycinate toward bedtime for relaxation. Here's one of his videos: th-cam.com/video/hIAsSAgTRb4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Dr.EricBergDC

Does this help with weight loss?
@@anaxo1971Probably won't get an answer. Lots of videos available.
@@anaxo1971well yeah eating less helps weight
thank you Dr berg Thank you for your informations.. i am not doctor ...but my experience ...... one advice do not ignore when your body tells you i need a bathroom or if your number 2 knocking your door dont ignore it go straight to bathroom i used to ignore it and waited till i come home big mistake
I'm told I have Parkinson's, and for over a year I have had constipation. Two scans showed no blockage just constipation. However, two ERs and one GI doctor told me there was nothing they could or wouldn't help me. My view on this Medicare is rationing care. I over time have tried several over-the-counter meds and suggestions from other sufferers, and nothing. I do walk a mile daily. This condition became worse and I went hardcore and now drink two liters of room-temperature water over the day. After five I drink a laxative called Magnesium Citrate, sometime later I start purging watery stool four or five times. I do this every third day and I'm eating a lot less. The bad part I have to structure the day around this method. The good I have lost eight pounds over several weeks. After researching Parkinson's I discovered it affects the "autonomic system". It's in the brain and it is what makes the heartbeat your breathing and of course BMs without you having to think about it. Any readers of my post research drinking large amounts of water. It can be toxic to your kidneys.
If you cant go Nr 2 try fermented green plums or castor oil
Plums, olive oil, extra Virgini. and Papaya ..
Also try 2 Tblsp of Evoo, 2Tblsp of Epsom salt, 2Tblesp of Oj or grapefruit juice 3-5 cups start at 9pm 🕘 lay on your right side for 15minutes then start your 2cup on right side for 15min , start on your 3rd cup on your right side, then on your 4th cup you don’t have lag on your right side anymore. This will method will cleanse your Gallbladder and empty your stomach it’s powerful and relieve you for sure& feel better ❤️🩹 stay home. When trying this.
Castor oil works 100 percent, but it’s said it weakens natural peristalsis . I take Chinese herbs for my spleen and liver as well. Eat grass fed beef , fish etc organic vegetables,a little basmati rice , organic oats , Asian pear, etc . Need more info on castor oil.I take prebiotic fiber as well. 68
This video is Number 1 for Number 2😊
I use that powder “CALM” at night before bed. It has magnesium in it.
It converts to magnesium citrate with the citric acid ingredient
I also use that stuff. I've used the powder and the gummies and they are great! Finnally going more regularly but, still straining quite a bit. Prunes seem to work just as well. I eat a few and works great!😊
@@Jennifer-nz2ss Jennifer you should try maybe OAT BRAN..
Great content, Dr Berg. And pressing gently underneath ribcage where gallbladder is and massaging downwards to help stimulate bile flow may also work. Thank you ❤
Thanks for sharing your tip. Keep doing well.
Yes, it sure does!!! This helped me so much. I tryed last night, and it was tender and sore! But, I did it anyway. Just took a minute. I slept and was comfortable through the night!😊
I don't have a gall bladder
A nurse told me to gently massage my intestinal area and it helps too!
Yes massage your tummy clockwise and hum 😂really hum. Works like a charm for me
I drink a cup of coffee and 15 minutes later, Shazam!
My 80-year-old mum drinks a glass of very warm water, and it works, too, for her.
Pics or didn't happen lol
Lucky dog!!!
Attaboy! 😂
Half a shot of apple cider vinegar works well too
One spoon of Olive oil in the morning Prevent constipation
Thanks for sharing!
@@Drberg does this help?
This is what I do. Drink olive oil mixed with water every morning before going to the toilet. Never had constipation again.
Mark Hyman, MD in one of his books recommends starting the day with a mix of olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon.
Castor oil at night. Olive oil in morning
Hello Dr. Berg - thanks for the video! Over the last week I’ve been intermittent fasting until about 12:30pm or so, and I am less hungry, more energetic and have way more time on my hands now. My digestion has done a 180 and I feel much lighter and in control of my hunger and temptation. I was having issues with constipation, and I believe the fasting played a role in remedying this. But the game changer was cutting out cheese! I thought cheese would benefit my gut health, but cutting it out has been a life changing experience!!
Thanks for your continuous helpful content, Dr Berg ❤😊
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
A large glass of water followed by a large cup of black coffee also helps.
Thanks for sharing your tip.
Nope not helping at all
I find that drinking coffee helps me
If only!
@@isabellelam9606The caffeine (in the coffee along with possibly something coffee bean specific) stimulates your bowels - which is why a huge % of people can go do number 2 after drinking it. You’ll want to examine other areas of your diet/exercise/sleep components if it doesn’t.
Going for a colonoscopy tomorrow. Scared but the bloating never stops. Dr. Berg is always reading my mind.❤
I go ina. Week
Go for a colonic instead
He mentioned fermented foods.
💭💭 how did YOU do with your colonoscopy❔update please if YOU don’t 👎🏻 mind 🤍
Then what happened??? Any good news?? Have the same experience
Concerned vegan, I will never will go back to eating meat after what my eyes have seen but I have to fix my gut. Working on it. Thank you
Usually I don’t have a problem. Idk why but I could’ve used this a couple of hours ago.
When I stopped eating organic steel cut oatmeal, I stopped having a bowel movement.
Oatmeal keeps me regular.
Sorry, it’s the only thing that keeps me moving.
Since, I rinse and soak the oats… most of the phytic acid and lectins are eliminated.
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing another interesting video. May God blessed you and your family!
Happy that you found it useful!
Very timely and valuable information. In addition to my IF I will add HCL and bring in some sauerkraut. Thank you for the explanation and tips!!
You are welcome, glad it helps.
Castor oil is amazing, Dr Berg. Thank you ❤
You got it!
How do you use it?
how do you use castor oil?
These comments sure prove every body is different and responds differently to this problem! 🙃
Please do a video on Homeopathy and Vaccines.
Don't think he can do vaccine he be cancelled 😊

Amazing information Dr Berg I have cut down on veggies as I was troubled with leaky gut being a vegetarian, thankfully i have no trouble now and so thankful for this video.
I had the same result from the vegan diet. I can't believe how long I continued believing it would work when it WASN'T WORKING AND NEVER WAS GOING TO WORK. Thanks for letting me vent.
wow.. You are reading my mind.. I've been getting more constipated for the last month and I have taken a break from keto/IF (still doing lowish carbs but not counting carbs) but have been eating a lot more veggies a lot of which in raw form like broccoli and carrots and also salads. time to jump back on the wagon.
Can you make a video about how we can make absolutely sure that our colons are completely cleaned out and no dried feces are remaining on the colon wall? Please?
Enema, but not something you require daily, just let your body sort it out.
Hello, this blog article might have data for you 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/colon-cleansing-my-opinion
I had a colonoscopy and the pictures came back as you just described.
Fermented green plums is the answer.
Things will come out of your body...it's disgusting😅 Those stones...
2-3 days max is enough.
@@whoknows8223where can we find fermented green plums or how to make it ?
Walking and Ginger Tea seem to work good for this too.
IMO, the easiest thing to do is, take 1000 to 1500mg of Magnesium Oxide. It's a very gentle way to get regular, and stay that way. Take it with the last meal of the day. It will take 2 or 3 days for it to get things going again, but then you shouldn't have a problem with constipation again. It's also safe to take Oxide everyday.
If 1500mg gives you loose stools, then scale back to 1000mg. That's how you can tell if you are taking too much. It really depends on your diet.
If you are doing carnivore, then it's really important to get in enough fat, but everything is low fat today, and so it can be hard to get in enough, so just use Magnesium Oxide till you find what you need fat wise for your diet.
It is impossible to have constipation issues if you eat a healthy amount of Canary/Yellow beans daily. I had constipation issues all my life and now that I'm 61 years old I have found what works for me. By the way, Yellow beans are by far the best tasting beans you have ever put in your mouth.
Eating papaya everyday always help. Its natural and healthy
Thanks for your insightful videos, Dr Berg. Excellent content.
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
Not doing a 12M celebration video shows how humble this person is... Go, Dr. Berg! Edit: I'd be surprised if he didn't do it in the near future. He might have just didn't have the time.
Really appreciate the support, thanks for watching!
@@Drberg It is kind of apparent that you will be a man left to be known in history. You should lay to rest that you've reached that title now, haha. I just don't have words to say because of how proud I am to see what a human being can become. You are marvelous, Dr. Berg. Wish the best for you and your whole team!
Thank you Dr berg…❤❤❤..I’m constipated right now.
I'm glad I could assist you.
Slippery Elm and vitamin Chas helped me a lot along with your other recommendations. And the only bread I consume is Ezekiel in moderation.
I’ve found your recommendations to work for me
Great to know, keep up the good work.
I like Ezekiel bread too.
Do you take slippery elm with vitamin c together?
What brand of Slippery Elm you use I was just looking this up a couple days ago. Thinking of purchasing it.
Thank you for this video I have been dealing with chronic constipation for yrs, saw many experts who wanted to put in a colostomy. No way! I’ve changed my diet which helped & will try the Vit. B1 & magnesium
Very glad you find this helpful!
I found the fix for leaky gut ❤. Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR !❤
Great content and really useful information. Thank you so much Doctor Berg ❤❤❤❤
Very glad to be of help.
I was eating a lot of salad and wound up with really intensive constipation. For several months! I have since gone on the Carnivore diet and things are way better. At 84 years of age I don’t expect things to work perfect, but for me, veggies are a no-no!
Always eat slow and less, never over
Kiwis, prunes also flaxseed ( not sure if Dr Berg would approve...)
Hi Dr. Berg! I started ACV and now this has helped alot. Still having trouble with that darn gall bladder! My tummy does feel better but, Its only been 2nd week and still a bit bloated.😊
Yup. Sauerkraut every day truly is a superfood. Healed my gut and no more gas.
What brand do you use?
@@davinehill3448 Needs to be raw, not pasteurised
How much sauerkraut
@@beckyholbrook7253 I eat a quarter cup every day. I’ve been eating this for over a year now. Said goodbye to digestive enzymes, Gas X, etc. Frank’s Kraut in the big glass jar, not tin. I also drink Kefir original flavor only daily. My gut has never felt better.
I forgot to add that I initially ate a half cup of sauerkraut a day when I first started……
✨🍍✨ *_In the short term: FRESH PINEAPPLE!_* I know it's a pain to prepare, but some stores have fresh pre-cut pineapple spears or chunks inside little refrigerated plastic cups. (Fresh papaya has similar effects, but less intense, less immediate, plus I have not seen fresh papaya in any of my local stores since lockdowns, sadly.)
Hi Dr Berg. Does intermittent fasting not slow gut motility and therefore lead to more constipation? Also are you no longer doing 7-10 cup salads daily?
This video I can relate to. I have an auto immune disease called PSC (primary sclerotic cholengitis) and constipation was a problem. Fast forward my best friends are sauerkraut, goat kefir and GFGF beef chunk. Thank you Dr. Berg
Thank you Dr. Berg great information 🥰🙏
You are welcome, glad it helps.
Respected doctor very nicely you said about conticipation. I CLEarly understand what you said and explaind my wife who is suffering from conticipation because of piles. She is 68 now afraid of operation.

You are very welcome, glad it is helpful. Wishing you both good health.
i had it my TCM doctor told me it was dehidration, which i could not understand at the time that he ment the hydration of the cells so no amount of drinking would help so he recomeded electrolites which i started useing, it took a while but it worked.
Thanks for sharing.
Yes I try and change my diet etc
My meals is breakfast and lunch together/ a brunch around 8-9 am would like that working on that
A snack with just fruit or vegetables with fiber seeds either then or later like 5-6:30pm and working planning on getting some Chia seeds have been going but I know I still have some kind of issue but working on it
And after 5-6 pm I usually don't eat anything else til morning and don't go to sleep til around 9-11:30 some time 12:30-1:30 am but well working on that to
🤔What about Kefir? Isn't it fabulous for gut health? Should I consume it for constipation?
Dr. Berg you are soooo good at this. I don't have a gallbladder and have suffered chronic constipation. I implemented your Gallbladder system amongst other things and it's been a game changer.
I don’t have a gallbladder either what are you taking?
Dr berg I k ow you have immense knowledge but sir I am going through a lot of gut n stomach issues I have gallbladder sludge and have constipation way back when I didn’t even have this sludge but whatever k do I still have many stomach related issues and this makes my life suffer alot in daily basis
One day I eat the same thing n the next day it reacts

They say, "Lean back and lift up your feet helps. It truly does 😊

Lean forward.
I am surprised that you did not mention Chia seeds. I soak 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in a glass of water then drink it down. I go the next day reliably and without urgency. You should try it!

Thank you so much Dr. Berg I bile was taking off and I have been troubles serious problems
Thank you, Dr. Berg 😊
You're most welcome!
Thank you Dr. Berg but I think I'm constipated because of the meds I take. I do intermittent fasting and it is good for me. I also take magnesium, probiotics and enzymes. I do get relief but sometimes I feel bloated and take pills for constipation but I will try to stay away from it. I'm 70 years young.
I had constipation due to low levels of acetylcholine. It got so bad, my poo was coming out like marbles.
I read that marbles meant low water.
I also am doing this! I will try taking some.😊
For me the most helpful thing is psyllium husk powder dissolved in water to enlarge and soften stools.
I go once a week on Keto. Saving me a fortune on wipes :D
Take ginger, licorice, and aloe Vera everyday. This will help turn on your system to get things moving.
Coconut milk (from a can) in a triple espresso. You’re welcome
When i get constipated i develop headaches and body pain - its bad. Thanks for the video
No problem. Hope the info here will help you.
Tudca (cellcore brand) or bile salts, Cleanse More by Renewlife, Natures Garden Yoggies from Costco, Squatty Potty are some things that help me.
Thanks for sharing.
I recently began to prepare and eat natto and _lo and behold!_ I noticed a _very_ noticeable change for the better in elimination. Then yesterday while researching the nutritional benefits of natto, I read that this is a reported benefit as well. _What do you know?!_
Dr.BERG!!!? can yo make video about is it possible to regenerate disc degeneration disease? As I heard it is not possible to do it, cause it doesn't have blood supply , but maybe you know something? THANKS!!!!!!
Dr Berg I can't thank you enough for all the valuble information! You are like a walking Google! Bless you!
My digestive system is a lot better since limiting grains, bread and eating sauerkraut regularly.
I stopped my practice of drinking more water immediately after or before the meals..And took enough water only after an hour, this helps my digestion allergies and relief from my chronic constipation.
In tropics eating natural bananas, papaya and other fruits like mango and jackfruit also helps.
This is actually very bad for digestion.
Olive oil and dried organic prunes soaked overnight, eating them and drinking the juice in the morning
How many prunes ? Does drinking the olive oil upset your tummy ? Thanks
My daughter used to be severely constrained due to drinking hot milk, went to doctors have lactalose, didn’t want to give her that since she was only 2, talked to the chemist about my concern didn’t want to give her lactalose long term, he recommended prune juice. This was a miricle advice. I learnt later that it was hot cooled down milk was causing her constipation
@@SM-zm5hz 4-5 prunes. It never upsets my stomach but you should maybe start with a teaspoon and testing if it is OK for you. It should be organic cold pressed olive oil.
Dr. Berg how would you incorporate the Castor Oil and Senna into this regime?
Any help on migraines will help. please
Keto or carnivore diet and add quercetin!
Hello, this video might be a good start 👉 th-cam.com/video/UerbdBzb_6Y/w-d-xo.html
When I avoid constipation, I avoid migraines. Do you suffer from constipation?
I wonder if the GMO food, and all the added junk contributes to stomach issues
Thank you, Dear Dr. Berg. That was perfect as always
Dr Berg as always your advices are to the point. What king of MG...citrate, bisglycinate? Thank you!!
Citrate
I drink Kefir is instant 😂 i go like a king soft and nice even smells better Kefir is so good specially if it’s organic even taste better the organic versions
Thanks for sharing your tip. Keep doing well.
Since I started taking akkermansia muciniphila a probiotic that eats mucus to make mucus, I haven't had a problem with constipation, which I would have several times a year, I also started making my own yougurt with lactobacillus rueteri and the akkermansia. Hopefully my constipation is gone for good only been doing this a month and was constipated when I started and that left in a few days and hasn't returned. I'm also taking b1 and magnesium so it could be a combination of all. Just happy to poop like a champion again. 😂 THANKS DOC
I’m severly constipated! When I wipe now it’s just yellow mucus nothing else what does that mean
Try carnivore, after 6 months i feel my diggestion is perfect. IT will show you what IS not doing good to you in your diét. Maybe you are allergic
You need to see a doctor, that could be something serious, or not.
I'm also carnivore which I think is by far the best diet for humans and their gut. Keto being second best.
Hello, check out this blog article for tips and recommendations 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/constipation-remedies
Excellent information. Thank you doctor
Glad it helps!
Would you recommend this even when first starting out? I have a terrible history of surgeries due to constipation so I don't even want to chance it. Would having a little bit of cabbage every day be bad during the red meat, tallow, bone broth, salt stage?
Thank you dr Berg for your excellent work!
You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
Dr. Berg which video did you recommend taurate magnesium, B1 and a couple of other things. Relating to intestinal pump going out. Please and Thank You
Can you please do a video about the fermented milk product lactobacillus reuteri and gasseri and how it helps the microbiome or if it helps the microbiome
Have heard it😅it's a very important species!
Yes, I'm making those, and about to do others too. I do trust Dr William Davis though about these. He's a scientist and doing genuine research papers on the topic. L.Reuteri is almost a fountain of youth fix for the western gut (missing since heavy antibiotic usage). Here are the benefits as found by the research:
L.Reuteri: Better skin, accelerated healing, age reversing effect, increased feelings of empathy, protect against SIBO.
L.Gasseri: Reduce weight, reduce IBS, reduce blood & urinary levels of oxalate (which causes kidney stones), reduce SIBO.
There are also quite a few more that you can culture (using 36Hr yogurt culturing), with various different properties.
Kefir and yogurt are both beneficial fermented dairy products that can support gut health and promote overall wellness. However, kefir is generally considered the better option due to its exceptionally high concentrations of diverse probiotic strains.
Here is an article for you 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/an-interesting-difference-between-yogurt-and-kefir
Do you think drinking senna tea every night is a safe way to treat constipation? I am vegan and that’s not changing so I don’t know what to do otherwise.
Hello, you can drink that when needed. Also magnesium citrate has been found beneficial in preventing headaches and nocturnal leg cramps and is often used to relieve constipation due to its natural laxative effects.
You mention magnesium, for constipation are you talking glycinate or citrate? Since different types of magnesium does different things in the body
Dr. Berg's channel has several videos on types of magnesium and when to take them. I started taking the magnesium glycinate toward bedtime for relaxation. Here's one of his videos: th-cam.com/video/hIAsSAgTRb4/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Dr.EricBergDC
Magnesium citrate has been found beneficial in preventing headaches and nocturnal leg cramps and is often used to relieve constipation due to its natural laxative effects.
