I thinking about sending this wonderful explanation to my gastroenterologist.... She never explained how our bodies work!!! Dr. Bulsiewicz definitely knows how to teach 😍😍😍
Of course she didn’t... sadly. I can’t tell you how common that is.
Yes my gastroenterologist is the same, I thought I was going crazy. What do they teach them? Sadly this was the 2nd gastro doctor and I had decided to heal/help myself. What a complete waste of insurance money.
Very interesting, thank you both! Useful info on a valuable topic. I'm ready for next Dr B interview 🙏 😃
Thank you for this video. This has been the best I have heard so far.
Great conversation! Thank you!
Awesome information thank Dr. B!
Loved this Doctor, and this interesting podcast!
Thank you so much for this educational topic on Constipation. It helps a lot that I am well informed even if only from you tube because these things I couldn't get from my gastroenterologist. Now Im not as anxious. Thank you very much. God bless you 🙇♀️
Thank you both. I need the reminders
Very helpful explanation of pelvic floor dyssynergia!! Thanks!!
Great information as always 👍
Such great information you guys rock thank you.
Moving the body and eating turmeric and ginger pieces help against constipation. Kiwi definitely works and magnesium rich water
VR, Where to get magnesium rich water?
@@bjjamison2801 did you find put about the water ?
@@icediamonds11 no
Your explanation is so accurate. Thx.
This is a powerful and educational show .
Love to hear about foods to help with diverticulosis.
WFPB for me. 2-3 good clean outs per day. For me one of life's pleasures is having a really good clean out. Plus I'm on the toilet around one minute as it comes out naturally with no forcing.
Love listening this two fab Doctor.
Dr B- thank you so much for all your work, your book, and your videos. So helpful. Can you please talk about the usefulness and accuracy of stool tests like GI MAP, Viome, etc? I know some alternative practitioners are very high on these, while mainstream doctors seem to cast doubt on how useful they are for making a diagnosis or treatment plan. Thank you.
never heard of any of those stool tests but yep i too would like to know his opinion.
Thank you for sharing this 🙏 wonderful information 🙏 👏 😊
We don’t need any study, you speak the truth
This guy is a unicorn!
He says TRUST your
YOUR INTUITION!
((What a lovely doc! Sharing he sympathizes with Laura))
Thanks Dr B you are brilliant doctor we love thank you very much bringing you knowledge l appreciate you Al's thank you Chuck for wonderful interview.
What a great program. I have a question if you have a part 2. I fast for a day before the prep for colonoscopy but it it still hard to completely evacuate. What could be the program. Thank you. Karen
Good show!
Omg Sheldon for The Big Bang Theory got it right from the start 😂 with his bowl shedule 😂😂😂
🤣
Love Dr. B! Brilliant!
More fiber...... regular bowel movement
A big green salad at lunch every day is a good place to start.
Agree i had constant constipation bcz of fibroids i turned to eating healthy more fiber vegetables and fruits no more constipation 🥬🌶🍉🥒🥦🥕

Love these 2 soooo much!!!!!!
Thanks for the great informative presentation. If you have a Part 2 follow-up, I would be interested in knowing when a stool softener may be warranted, such as Colace for example. Thanks again for all the info!
Great show, Chuck and Dr. B. Thanks.
Some medications can really cut down on GI mobility. Thankfully, I am no longer on these meds. I bought a Squatty Potty. The Squatty Potty has been very helpful.
Thank you so much for this so helpful information, I have very bad problem with internal and external hemorroids, I have been bleeding a lot the previous year, I have changed my diet, the bleeding is very seldom now, I feel always like I don't empty all ,I have waiting very long time for a procedure could you please advise how I could help myself as I still suffer from constipation .
❤️Very Informative Thank You❤️
What a compassionate Dr. I just read the free intro on Amazon of his book “Fiber Fueled “ a wealth of info and an easy read of what sometimes can be a complex subject. I ordered the book and will share with friends. Thank you for this talk and introduction to this Dr. 🙏 I have been vegan 4 yrs with much improvement of IBS, also re: odor, a side note…when eating meat BO was bad really needed a strong antiperspirant now all I need is a homemade coconut oil based deodorant and I never have any under arm odor. Just another benefit to clean eating! 🥗
I v
Yes. I don't need deodorants any more.
The two of you are way too much fun. :) love it when you get together.
Never thought I'd ever be here but at 74 here I am ...very Interesting and I enjoyed you both ...Peace & Love✌
I find squatting help a hell of a lot very interesting talk thank you
Could you please give some advice about recovering from C-Diff - best treatments etc.
Wfpb eater here. Anywhere from 3-5x daily, sometimes more. Always solid and regular. Can't remember last time I had diarrhea, which was frequent years ago when I was a broscience, meat-eating, fiber-deficient bodybuilder.
Thank you very much Dr.
So impressed with you Chuck what you accomplished regarding your weight loss and have maintained as long as you have. 🌞
protein powders are a total show-stopper, so to speak. to get extra protein, instead of powders, put some cooked lentils in your smoothie to get the job done.
u are a smart cookie.
smart lentil cookie : )
White beans too
Plant based proteins have around 5g of fiber per Serving.
I love poop talk! My children and friends won’t talk like this. Must come here to be real 👏🏻❤️🥰
What can be done for children. Doctors do not work or know this. They give miralax like with my grandchild. Six year old and is constipated. Why no videos for children who have no one to speak up for them. Please video for children. Would be eternally grateful.
😢
I am very comfortable talking about evacuating as well. It’s natural thing we all do, 🙏☺️
😂
I've been vegan for over 20 years...I poop 3x a day on the reg!!
@@thomasmcleod8229 Nope, much shit!! 😜
😃Beautiful! 💩 💚👏
I poop 3 times a day and I'm not vegan
@@thomasmcleod8229 full of shit indeed!
PB for years and I still can’t poop more than once lot twice a week, if I’m lucky
@Peter Colwell why does poo smell horrible?
Plant-based 10 years here: One of the things that surprised me was that whole food plant-based = low or no-smell poo. Seriously delighted by this.
Great content. I use nutritional yeast and I have a great movement
does nooch help?
I just bought your book yesterday!
What a great video!!!!
This actually worked with one of my baby daughters as well. The body learns the rhythm to void even at a young age
Thanks a lot for your insight on pooping!
Love Dr. B. such a brilliant man with a great personality! He is helping so many. I bought his new book and it is the best. Thank you!
I look forward to the Dr. Will Bulsiewicz Exam Room Live shows every month!
Can we be friends😁
Thanks
I had a dramatic change in bowl movements when I stopped drinking milk! Used to be constipated, now I’m as regular as clockwork!
Who else is watching this while eating
What do I do for chronic constipation and rectocele? Should I do pelvic floor exercises? I have been on many medicins. Right now I be am on one half a dose of Miralax every other day. My hormone test come back normal I am 74 years old.Thank you.
Use suppositories,...always...works..don't strain and get horrible hemorrhoids.
I love when the doctors get so detailed. That bowel pocket thing sounds horrible. I am so glad I have never had a problem pooping.
lucky you
Right! It's so sad because all people gotta do is eat more fiber.
I love the Dr.'s work, but I have not heard him talk about hydration with respect to gut health. How much pure water should one drink? How does hydration/water (not soda, booze, milk etc.) effect the microbiome? Is water necessary to help distribute the microbes we ingest?
My cat loves having a petting session but only if I'm sitting in the bathroom! I can confirm that because of his 10-20 minute petting sessions I have become very regular at that time also. You can train your BMs. 😊
How nice.
Twice a day guaranteed, thrice is normal, four times after a feast. That’s per day, not per week. I eat a plant based Viking diet. Barley, rye, einkorn, spelt, buckwheat, hazelnuts, walnuts, oats and lots of kale, greens, fruits and root veggies. I also drink lots of water and the occasional watered down ale.The only non plant foods I eat are skyr and on rare occasion, honey. I used to be horribly bunged up eating white bread, cheese and restaurant food. That’s gone. Relax on the porcelain throne with an iPad game of Lily’s garden, plants vs zombies or solitaire. Focus on the game instead of straining.
Well written🙂
whats skyr please?
@@CastledarkDweller27 It is an Icelandic yogurt.
What about 2x a week?
Welcome to my world.
@Peter Rabbit - Pianist-Composer ♫ I would kill for that amount of action.
The diagram with the hands was awesome
15:00 .... for 10 years now I have thought I was the only one 😭 😭 😭 thank you sooo much for sharing.... this made my day 😂
Does prostrate problem have any effect on poop relief?
Very educative podcast. Thumps up
@Milica Skenderovic It's ok, I'll check it up
Is it healthy to use over the counter laxative regularly. I am on KETO AND ONE MEAL A DAY FASTING.
I find that lifting my legt leg and swinging it from left to right helps activate bowel movement.... or walking. Bending the knees slightly also helps, when using the toilet.
-Yess!!! Finally I can talk about poop😅
Yes you certainly feel better 😊 afterwards. .....and if it does not hurt...and before you go out into the world....yes...same time ever morning...
Does Diveculitis cause constipation and how do they one about
From mealtime to evacuation, how long does it take?
As long as there is not unwanted weight gain, are there any potential issues with snacking healthy foods between meals, or even grazing? What about occasionally eating late at night when you just didn't have time to have lunch or dinner? Or should I just force myself to skip dinner, get to bed and wait till morning breakfast? I'm on a whole foods plant-based diet. --Audrey in Chicago
12-16 is the most circadian-rhythmed, and a 24 hr turnover is ok too, but it's really not about the number in the end afaik, I believe the doctor emphasizes this point
@@BagelBagelBagel Thank you. I wasn't certain that what we "pooped" today is actually what we ate today. It is a curiosity that one doesn't often have a chance to get answered.
Just get plenty of fiber with every meal and it won't be a problem. The Standard American Diet is absolutely terrible for constipation.
AND a truckload of water. (i know so many constipated people who do NOT drink water. at all.)
Yes ..fiber is the answer, especially vegetables.
Can one be totally dependent on Supposities and what to do if you are ? 🤓
Always have problems with constipation , colonoscopy negative. Given Linzess but still need to strain to poop,. Now need to add Miralax to ease to poop. Is it okay,?
Twice a day - morning and evening! You eat three meals a day, you should evacuate at least twice a day when you are eating the right foods!
I have normally gone 3 times a day most of my life. If I spend one day without a bowel movement, I do not feel right. I eat salad and wholemeal bread. Should I feel overfull, I drink senna tea. But first thing in the morning, I sit for a pee because usually a little comes out. I do not consider this to be part of my 3 times a day.
THX
What should a person do if they have a buildup of stool and is causing stomach pain.and your dr recommends miralax?
Did u find out ?
I uses oats with raisins , banannas for breakfast regularly
Well when you eat tunafish or asparagus and plenty of different foods it comes out smelling like that food and as far as beets if you eat beats it usually comes out red and so does your poop
Good job: Covering the Bottom Line!
My husband had diverticulosis for year, finally a rupture and major surgery. Why didn’t any of those GI doctors mention diet? He has been cured through diet.
Anyone have insight on sudden hemorroids (painful BM; w/ and w/o healthy poops)? I'm 37 and never had it for 1-2 weeks straight. Mostly healthy vegan for 5 years.
Don't understand your second sentence but in reference to hemorrhoids, you may have developed a gluten intolerance or consuming a lot of hot sauce. Also if not getting enough fiber and fruit and this makes stool hard and requires straining to eliminate. Pay attention to what you're eating/not eating when things are going well and same for when things aren't going well. Sometimes it takes very little to throw things off. Be sure to drink plenty water, especially when hot.
I’ve been WFPB for ten years and am retired. No constipation, but I actually have 5 or more BMs a day. I is the largest, the other are smaller. None of them hurt. What is odd sometimes is that my body wakes up and wants to have a BM in the middle of the night. I do eat beans frequently so my body is used to this. Fortunately the middle of the night urge, does not happen very often.
Same experience here.
The squatty potty is awesome too.
Agree. Can’t go without it.
What about using water enimas ? Sometimes it’s my only relief.
How do I deal with runner's trots? I have no problem with fasted a.m. runs but after eating any meals, even after waiting a few hours, I have this problem. For a race I can cut all the fiber the day prior but cannot do this on a daily run basis.
Do you have coffee each day? If you do, cut it out and see what happens. ;)
Please comment on THRYVE and VIOME tests.
I heard an interview with another plant based gastroenterologist and he said the science isn’t there yet for these tests to be accurate. Wish I had heard this before paying for a thryve test.
Cascara Sagrada helps
I have a problem with bowel movement for a long time. I go everyday but sometimes I have a bad stomach ache before going to the bathroom. I eat a good amount of vegetables wondered why I still continue to constipate.
What about redundant colon causing constipation for a type 1 diabetic? Was put on Linzess for 3 weeks every other day but when I take the Linzess I cannot leave the house and It is painful.
Can autoimmune condition cause or influence the bowel?
When i swapped to a 95% veggie diet my bathroom breaks smell almost like nothing at all. I do think a lot of processed foods and meat in general makes things smell bad
Doesn't it depend on how much u eat as well 🤔
I'm 76 now and I eat less and not much body movement. My bowel movement has changed too. Is it okay if I take fiber supplement everyday to avoid constipation since its not often I get natural food with high fiber.
Dr I do have bowel movement every day but still experience stomach bloating a lot .what could be the problem?some times uncontrollable.
Since I became plant base, my poop and my gas does not stink anymore.
Tofu, kiwi, prunes, oats, husks
I am being awoke at 2 to 3 am to take a bowell movement. Can I change that? thank you
Great info! Questions: Is burping really loud and long a sign of bad microbio? If the fiber on the skin of some fruits is a good source of fiber, how should they be properly wash? Is the wax covering on apples harmful? Thanks in advance.
-Not as harmful as farts in my face🤣
