Common causes of urinary retention: • Diabetes • A high-carb diet • Age • An enlarged prostate • Fibroids • Excess sodium consumption with low potassium consumption • A problem with the autonomic nervous system • Pregnancy • Kidney stones • Bladder stones • Certain medications What to do for urinary retention: 1. Cut out carbs and sugar 2. Increase your fluids (3 liters in the first part of the day) 3. Consume herbal diuretic alternatives (dandelion greens and watercress) 4. Consume more potassium foods or an electrolyte powder (at least seven cups of vegetables per day) 5. Consume a moderate amount of protein (3-6 oz per meal) Thank you Dr Berg!
Me too and I have got PCOS with type 2 diabetes and I had really bad heart burn but I took what Dr Berg recommend to take and I am shocked by what I was feeling because it made my acid reflux better

I don't know what to believe on one side i read watercress is not recommended for people with kidney issues because the compounds in it help to create kidney stones and they advise against consuming water cress. Here they recommend it!
I love Dr. Berg! I’m taking Vitamin B for my Raynaud’s and Copper for my Lordosis, reduced my dairy for my estrogen dominance, starting drinking kale shakes and consistently follow Keto with IF. I’m even talking to my doctor about what I suspect is diabetes insipidus because I urinate large quantities of clear urine back to back sometimes. Thanks for helping so many people take control of their health Dr. Berg!
Gm Doc I have never received so much information in my life until I watched your first video now I'm hooked. I love your videos. I have problems with my bladder due to being a diabetic I just don't have the strong urine odor. I do have a fibroid pushing against my bladder. Thank you doctor we love you!!
I am hooked on watching his videos as well because I am shocked about what I hear and I am hoping to be a doctor soon to teach my local hospital because they have said they are would like my knowledge that I have learned from my teacher
For potassium you can find "nu-salt" which is a salt substitute. The supplements give you too little and to get enough from vegetables you gotta eat a lot. Dr berg thanks for typing out the information, I absorb better from reading than speech
My husband wasn’t able to urinate all of a sudden and had to be catheterized for several weeks (which he hated). At first it was thought that he had an enlarged prostate (he’s 75). Then a colonoscopy found that he had severe diverticulosis, and his constipated colon was pushing on his prostate which in turn was closing off his urethra. Now he is on Metamusil for constipation which has helped tremendously. We basically had to figure out the constipation part ourselves as the urologist was clueless about anything not part of the urinary system and prostate.
Great information, glad you figured it out! In women, chronic constipation can cause a rectocele, which also presses against the ureters/bladder, which block urine flow.
Thanks for the presentation and analysis. 63. Yrs.. Enlarged Prostate.. I'm trying to implement all your suggestions. I'm on Tamulsin and Prostagutt.. plus, most everything you suggest. Steady as She Goes Dr. Berg
I want to thank you so much I'm 60 I've had kidney problems since I was very young and in October last year I moved into an apartment and only had a recliner to sleep in and so for 9 months I was sleeping in this recliner putting pressure on the back of my spine and I started with these itchy spots swelling of the feet to the point where I thought I was going to die my liver was hurting I'm not a doctor person so I've been looking for the issue I did start thinking it might be my kidneys so I did start doing my kidney regiment and it's been doing better but now I have an explanation it was the chair I was pushing it the wrong way and keeping urine in there this is amazing you have helped me with so many things and if it wasn't for people like you people like me would sometimes be hurting because I don't trust the doctors anymore God bless you and your family
You sir are a blessing did my 1st true intermittent fast yesterday after watching your videos on it for hours! I finally understand what it's all about. I say 1st true IF cause there are days I'll go without eating for hours simply because I was too lazy to make food or cause I forgot to eat cause I was to focused on something else like a movie/series or work. So today is day two! I'm excited!😌💃🏾
Dr. Berg ready for this story? I grew up with dr's loading me up with antibiotics which soon after using stopped working. Not knowing anything, began trying to figure out why I was constantly getting UTI's. It wasn't until an ultrasound while pregnant in my 20's, finding out i have an ectopic kidney, but I was told everything is normal and you can go about yoyr business. In turn I asked, well, I keep getting UTI's, along with YI's so what do I do to prevent them? All I was told was to just keep doing what I'm doing....so I told my husband, we are on our own and I will need to find a solution one was probiotics. Here I am today after following you for several years, you have been a great inspiration to me. Thank you for this information and being you. ❤💘💘💘💘
Dr.Berg I promise you your amazing your truly doing Gods work. I watch I learn I actually apply and take what you say and tell my doctor what to do and he is impressed everytime. Trust I give you the credit he goes this is great I would of never thought ect. oh yea on top of what I already know and finding you Dr.Berg I'm I have amazing health 🙏🏾🌸
He is not kidding about the quality of his electrolyte powder! I take it along with the nutritional yeast and the organic wheatgrass juice powder absolutely excellent products! I do HVAC work and took the electrolyte powder that morning and could stay in a hot attic for over 2 hours and work I have never been able to do that! Then after working all day for hours like that of course I depleted a lot of my electrolytes came home and took some more of the electrolyte powder and all the cramping that I had from losing my electrolytes literally went away in minutes! This man is saving lives and changing lives keep up the great work sir!
Mai 9 months se urine problem face kr raha tha kariban shahar ke sare urologist doctor ko dikhaliya tha but koi doctor koi medicine effects nahi kr rahi thi 1 hours me 5 se 6 baar washroom jaana padta tha jane ke bad khul ke peshab nahi hota tha aur mai student hu to thik se study bhi nahi kr pa raha tha fir is problem ke liye maine utracon syrup aur utracon capsule liya karib 3 se 4 mahine liya hoga maine ise aur mai puri tarah se thik ho gaya...
This man is a God sent he’s good whatever he’s doing for all of us I love it I tried the vinegar and lemon juice is working excellently no more spitting up blood sugar went down he’s amazing I love it keep up the good work
When I hear 'Salad' I automatic think 'a mixture of uncooked vegetables', as it is defined in the Cambridge dictionary. So, to the person who thought they were correcting me two years ago... I was correct, a Salad isn't just leafy greens. Thank you and have a Wonderful Day!
I love your videos and have gained a lot from them. I have been working to get my health back after having a perforated duodenal ulcer that damaged my colon which lead to sepsis. Lots of damage to my liver, kidneys and other organs. I'm om an RX for fluid retention with RX potassium. Also an ulcer RX. What else can I do, I'm 61 and was told I may have to have a liver transplant. I have greatly improved my liver function thru not using NASIDS and supplements. I also use your electrolyte powder. TFS 👍
Hi Cindy, do check out Dr. Brownsteins vids on Iodine ( Lugols 2%) & Dr. Ken Berrys videos. All quite short. When unwell long vids are too difficult. I'm 64 now & believe me we need iodine. The benefits have been outstanding. Its amazing stuff, I wish l knew all this yrs ago. But better late than never. Yrs of illness & incorrect diagnosis + 💊 almost killed me & led to stroke, heart attack, dementia symptoms, & housebound for almost 2 yrs...In my desperation I took t TH-cam & found Dr. William Davis book 'Wheat Belly' & his short vids. (Rec by commentor) Following his protocol for overall health, my heart, liver, Thyroid & fibromyalgia, & other side effects from meds, my health has turned around. Also listening to Dr. Berg, & Dr. Ken Berry esp on supplementation with D3+ k2, B vits,Vit C, Zinc, & magnesium, selenium. It's taken time but l'm the best lve been in yrs. I'm thankful also to God who strengthened me when l was so weak, every step of the way. God bless you Cindy as He has blessed me & more. I also encouraged myself reading the Scriptures especiallyPsalms & Proverbs & having faith in His promises. I'll 🙏 for your health & that you find these suggestions as helpful & beneficial as they were to me. The amount of help from the many generous people that left such helpful comments, suggestions & leads, no price can be put on. Many thanks to one & all.
Not sure if it would be TMI for some folks, but an explanation of the sodium/ potassium pump of cells and onconic pressure effect on kidneys would have helped people understand this concept better. That's what I was thinking about while watching, anyway. This was an interesting video. As an RN, I've been attempting to help a friend with the whole keto thing and her diabetes. She is doing phenomenal and has been able to get off insulin, but her lab work showed protein in urine. I was trying to come up with an explanation for her. This video is somewhat helpful.
Great 👍 If I remember well, he made one video on sodium/potassium pump and its effects on one’s kidneys. If you can’t find it on this channel, you should be able to find it on Dr Berg’s website or his app or by asking his staff. Best wishes to you and your friend.
Thanks Doc! Looks like you’re taking your own advice, getting healthier and also plenty of sun. Even with the greying beard, we think you’re reverse-aging 💪🤓👍 Maybe it has something to do with your new exercise from the “knees over toes guy” . . . how’s it going?? Could you consider showing us how you are doing the backwards-dragging and with what equipment? That would be so cool
My daughter was born with bilateral reflux of the kidneys we spent 2 weeks at Chldrens Hospital. Scariest 2 weeks of my life.😔 she's now 14 and healthy🙏
I had tests done and doctor advised to eat green veg more and cut on fat. I suspect also i need to take less protein. But the doctor said protein is important for me. She advised to take more water, greens, less fat and eat with large pauses in several hours. Like if i wake up at 7am next meal must be at 2pm and the last meal at 8pm. She also said intermittent fasting will create other issues if i do it
Intermittent fasting is still a new subject that most doctors have not had time to study and experiment with yet. You may want to consult a doctor who has experience with it.
I kid you not…. My grandmother who was born in 1920 told me that you NEVER empty your entire bladder. She would ALWAYS say (no exaggeration) don’t empty your bladder all the way. Leave a little bit to kill off bad bacteria. I have no idea where she got that idea. But she had edema plus she had lymphdema (spelling?) her entire arm was 10X the size of her other arm. Scary stuff. Just to clarify- I do not and have never taken my grandmother’s advice
This video has come so late... I wish I had known this before n more on kidney health. And what to do to reverse this condition. I just lost my mother to this terrible disease. My mother had these urine retention...n it buit up over 3yrs and I lost her a few months ago to kidney failure... She dint want to undergo dialysis and we stood by her with her decision.
I've nearly been gassed to death a few times on opening the bathroom door. It's particularly bad after my co-habitor has been drinking alcohol. Some mornings I have trouble emptying my bladder fully. Figured it was the 4 pregnancies and recent stress. Kegals are helping.
@@lauragarofalo1795 hi, my reply seems to have been deleted. Was saying (eee..baaay and aaammmaaazon) the algorithm doesn’t like real names apparently. Type urine test strips..they come in 100s for less than £10.
@@ilovenoodles7483 I think the urine strips :) I would recommend the "Combur test strips". There are different types available with 5, 9 or 10 indicators. If you just want to know if there is an infection in your bladder, the "Combur 5" is enough. But if you wanna know if there's a problem with your liver or your diabetes, buy the one with 10 Indicators
That is exactly what happened to me after covid. Also, I have lost consciousness three times. It's been a week since I started getting 4700 mg of potassium daily, and it works perfectly 👌🏻. Btw I spent six months with doctors who couldn't find any problem 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ they said it was epilepsy syndrome, but at the same time, all the tests said that my brain was clean and healthy. I can't believe how easy the actual solution is 😳. I don’t have enough imagination to express my gratitude; it’s just huge 🙏🏻
me too! i had covid and my hair started falling out. Gaining weight and ballooning out in trunk of body. Now my feet are swelling. First the left and now both. So how are you getting 4700 mg of potassium daily?
I am so very grateful for your knowledge on various subjects but mostly on the bladder and the kidneys. I have been suffering from chronic urinary tract infections and my spine is twisted. This is a relatively a new thing the spine being twisted but feel like it's putting a lot of strain on my organs possibly injuring them have severe lower back pain and I get edema here and there in my left foot. I just don't know what to do what would be your advice on my situation. Thank you again for everything you do.
Good Morning , Dr.Berg 🌞 Excellent Content , Please continue with this great information - So Helpful for so many ! God bless and Protect all of you , Take Care 🙏 ❤ 5 /19 / 2022 ❤
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 I just found your channel and I’m hooked. I have severe cramps in my back AFTER I urinate. I’ve had a scan on my kidneys and bladder just in April and they were clear. Any help would be appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
If you are using electrolytes ( without maltodextrin) and are using his tips on healthy keto and intermittent fasting and still have such cramps, I'd call Dr Berg on his Friday show.
Hi dr. Berg, it's me again, I keep coming back to this, because of my left ectopic kidney and I get throbbing sensations. I am drinking your electrolyte powder adding a smidge of sea salt your vitamin d and waiting for the refills. Received the Leviathan Tudca and using aswaghanda, b1, maca, adrenal glandular also came in and iodine nascent with cruciferous veggies tablets. Having an left ectopic kidney is not pleasant even though I was told yrs ago that it's normal. Thank Dr. Berg ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I don't have that ammonia odor, but I do have other symptoms of a toxic liver and kidneys, such as edema, peripheral neuropathy, frequent urination, and moderate (but regular) foam in the urine. I'm obese, on the wrong side of 50, and am well on my my way to cutting out carbs and sugars, but I'm even farther along in IF, in that I'm very good at sticking to OMAD. My one meal is dinner, and I have two questions: *1) Given that I'm on OMAD, I cannot eat more than 5 cups of vegetables in that meal (organic cruciferous leafy greens with EV olive oil and organic goat cheese and nutritional yeast flakes). It's a 5 ounce bag of the greens--is that sufficient? Because I really can't do more in a sitting. 2) Given that Dr. Berg says to consume 3-6 ounces of meat *per meal*, what does that mean to a person like me on OMAD? Can I have more, given it is my only meal of the day? I hope so, because OMAD is only really easy for me if I can eat a lb. of wild caught salmon, or a lb. of grass-fed hamburger (cheese, but no buns, no sugary condiments like ketchup), or a 16 oz. grass-fed steak, or a lb. of wild caught cod, or a lb. of wild caught sardines heated in EV olive oil and ghee. Am I okay eating a lb. of meat in my lone meal per day?* ps~I should probably add that my daily dessert is about a 1/3 cup of organic shelled pumpkin seeds.
I'm dealing with edema and enlarged bladder as I type this. I had a catheter put in. Next Wednesday I see Urologist and hopefully have catheter removed but, I'm rather fearful of it hurting. It hurt like hell when it was put in!!

I’ve lost 4 stone in 6 months doing keto, fasting and one meal a day. Thank you so much for making these videos accessible to us😊
As a paraplegic I deal with issues of the bladder and kidneys. This info is highly invaluable.
Dr Eric.. the way he speaks are very calming and smart but not intimidating. Love him
This was just a contributing factor in my mum passing away in January. I wish I knew more about health so I could of helped her.
Sorry to hear that .

Intermittent fasting is still a new subject that most doctors have not had time to study and experiment with yet. You may want to consult a doctor who has experience with it.
Thank you so much for posting this one!
I have been experiencing this… thank you so much
Excellent presentation 👏
I kid you not…. My grandmother who was born in 1920 told me that you NEVER empty your entire bladder. She would ALWAYS say (no exaggeration) don’t empty your bladder all the way. Leave a little bit to kill off bad bacteria. I have no idea where she got that idea. But she had edema plus she had lymphdema (spelling?) her entire arm was 10X the size of her other arm. Scary stuff. Just to clarify- I do not and have never taken my grandmother’s advice
This video has come so late... I wish I had known this before n more on kidney health. And what to do to reverse this condition. I just lost my mother to this terrible disease. My mother had these urine retention...n it buit up over 3yrs and I lost her a few months ago to kidney failure... She dint want to undergo dialysis and we stood by her with her decision.
Excellent presentation .
I've nearly been gassed to death a few times on opening the bathroom door. It's particularly bad after my co-habitor has been drinking alcohol.
Some mornings I have trouble emptying my bladder fully. Figured it was the 4 pregnancies and recent stress. Kegals are helping.
YOU ARE A TREASURE DR. BERG 😊 THANK YOU
You are amazing doc! A super life saver!💕😍😘
Good Morning
Good morning and thank you Dr. Berg.
Dr. Berg, Is it possible for you to cover Bruxism and grinding teeth at night. Thank you
Yes. He made a few videos on this. You can find them on this channel, his website or his app.
Taking notes. Thanks for your video.
I use urine test strips every now and again, they test for 10 parameters, including albumen, protein, blood, ketones, etc.
Where do purchase these strips? Ty
@@lauragarofalo1795 hi, my reply seems to have been deleted. Was saying (eee..baaay and aaammmaaazon) the algorithm doesn’t like real names apparently. Type urine test strips..they come in 100s for less than £10.
@@bbsaid218
Thanks! They are so expensive. Are they the blood strips or urine strips?
@@ilovenoodles7483
I think the urine strips :) I would recommend the "Combur test strips". There are different types available with 5, 9 or 10 indicators. If you just want to know if there is an infection in your bladder, the "Combur 5" is enough. But if you wanna know if there's a problem with your liver or your diabetes, buy the one with 10 Indicators
Great info per usual Dr. Berg.. thank you.. Can you do a video on broken veins in the thighs?
Thanks for the great information
If you do not like vegetables such as broccoli...watercress...dandelion, etc, just throw them into the blender and make a smoothie!
That is exactly what happened to me after covid. Also, I have lost consciousness three times. It's been a week since I started getting 4700 mg of potassium daily, and it works perfectly 👌🏻. Btw I spent six months with doctors who couldn't find any problem 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ they said it was epilepsy syndrome, but at the same time, all the tests said that my brain was clean and healthy. I can't believe how easy the actual solution is 😳. I don’t have enough imagination to express my gratitude; it’s just huge 🙏🏻
me too! i had covid and my hair started falling out. Gaining weight and ballooning out in trunk of body. Now my feet are swelling. First the left and now both. So how are you getting 4700 mg of potassium daily?
Thankyou doc..for your information
Sure thing!
I am so very grateful for your knowledge on various subjects but mostly on the bladder and the kidneys. I have been suffering from chronic urinary tract infections and my spine is twisted. This is a relatively a new thing the spine being twisted but feel like it's putting a lot of strain on my organs possibly injuring them have severe lower back pain and I get edema here and there in my left foot. I just don't know what to do what would be your advice on my situation. Thank you again for everything you do.
This was 100% me. I am a type 1 who ate like crap. I changed my diet and lost 15 pounds in a few weeks which was water weight.
Wow! I had no idea! Thank you Dr. Berg!
Most welcome!

Wow I can tell you've been in the Sun 🌞...your skin looks great! 😎😁. Thanks for all that you do for us!
Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪 I just found your channel and I’m hooked.
I have severe cramps in my back AFTER I urinate. I’ve had a scan on my kidneys and bladder just in April and they were clear. Any help would be appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
If you are using electrolytes ( without maltodextrin) and are using his tips on healthy keto and intermittent fasting and still have such cramps, I'd call Dr Berg on his Friday show.
Drink electrolyte drink. I use Hydralyte. German made. Also Gatorade etc in an emergency. Stopped my back pain in hours.
@@experimenthealthyketo83 I'd wager she drinks water only.
@@redtobertshateshandles thanks so much
Thank the Lord for you Sir, Doc u are an Earthly Angel. blessings
Treat thyself as a beautiful plant.feed n water with eternal WORD of GOD LOVE JESUS ✝️
Hi dr. Berg, it's me again, I keep coming back to this, because of my left ectopic kidney and I get throbbing sensations. I am drinking your electrolyte powder adding a smidge of sea salt your vitamin d and waiting for the refills. Received the Leviathan Tudca and using aswaghanda, b1, maca, adrenal glandular also came in and iodine nascent with cruciferous veggies tablets. Having an left ectopic kidney is not pleasant even though I was told yrs ago that it's normal. Thank Dr. Berg ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good info video thanks
@Steven Walter doing well
Thanks for this doc !!
Most welcome!
@@Drberg 😊👍
I don't have that ammonia odor, but I do have other symptoms of a toxic liver and kidneys, such as edema, peripheral neuropathy, frequent urination, and moderate (but regular) foam in the urine. I'm obese, on the wrong side of 50, and am well on my my way to cutting out carbs and sugars, but I'm even farther along in IF, in that I'm very good at sticking to OMAD. My one meal is dinner, and I have two questions: *1) Given that I'm on OMAD, I cannot eat more than 5 cups of vegetables in that meal (organic cruciferous leafy greens with EV olive oil and organic goat cheese and nutritional yeast flakes). It's a 5 ounce bag of the greens--is that sufficient? Because I really can't do more in a sitting. 2) Given that Dr. Berg says to consume 3-6 ounces of meat *per meal*, what does that mean to a person like me on OMAD? Can I have more, given it is my only meal of the day? I hope so, because OMAD is only really easy for me if I can eat a lb. of wild caught salmon, or a lb. of grass-fed hamburger (cheese, but no buns, no sugary condiments like ketchup), or a 16 oz. grass-fed steak, or a lb. of wild caught cod, or a lb. of wild caught sardines heated in EV olive oil and ghee. Am I okay eating a lb. of meat in my lone meal per day?*
ps~I should probably add that my daily dessert is about a 1/3 cup of organic shelled pumpkin seeds.
I'm dealing with edema and enlarged bladder as I type this. I had a catheter put in. Next Wednesday I see Urologist and hopefully have catheter removed but, I'm rather fearful of it hurting. It hurt like hell when it was put in!!
Good luck! 🍀🍀 Wish you well
Asparagus is a GREAT diuretic also!! Just makes your urine stink! 😖
Too much fluids if one has kidney damage or limited kidney function can be harmful too. If that is the case under 2 litre is recommended
Doctor put video on ureterocele
thank you Dr.BERG
great videos thank you so much
