Grapes worked ! Thank you so much . I shed tears of joy
Great news Frankie!
I’ll try the grapes
I’ll try it. 😭😭
Tj Diggs did it work?
-miro’s reverie I didn’t try it, I had to go to the hospital. 😭😭 not trying to scare you
Please guy's do as I say and some of you might get rid of this problem cause I've gotten better
1: by all means avoid refined wheat flour products this is your real enemy
2: avoid all types of meat go vegan
3: avoid dairy products instead use substitutes like soya milk
4: avoid fast foods strictly
5: try to add clarified butter in every meal possible this helps to soften the tool this helped me
6: try eating wheat flour products I'm Indian so I use to eat roti instead of rice and if you want to have rice have Brown rice it's rich in fibre.
7: drink water double the amount you use to drink before, drink hot water everytime and drink 2 to 4 glasses of hot water slowly in the morning in an empty stomach.
8: avoid fried foods, avoid potatoes.
9: have seasonal fruits increase the amount of fruit intake but avoid banana it's a strict no , peach can do wonders for constipated stool.
10: atleast chew food 25 times and increase if possible cause most of the digestion took place in the mouth itself.
11: have cucumbers alot and water rich fruits like watermelon it'll help in digestion.
12: avoid cabbage as when I used to eat cabbage I would see little spikes on my hard constipated poop which lead to anal fissure. So, I avoided cabbage it's my real enemy.
13:avoid chocolates it'll slow down digestion.
14: even if the problem pertains after all this effort go see a physician ASAP and you should see if the blood in stool is very frequent in large amount than its alarming go see a physician you could die of it if you won't.
15: after the medical prescription follow the things mentioned above as it won't harm you anyway.
I Hope each and every one of you gets totally recovered and be healthy as you were before
I've been getting this problem again after having cabbage so I am starting again hope I get well soon.
Well if you have read my suggestion this far thank you and god bless you 🙏
After recovery can I again eat non veg foods?
Nusrat Khan yes definitely add slowly with steamed veggies instead of Raw . Pour olive oil as dressing
@@guleanwar5371 Thank you so much
i have ibs and done my research on foods, low fodmap stuff is the way to go, apparently for me ripe ish bananans are good green not as..? and id die without potatoes, dont rly get issues with it, or better yet try sweet potatoes peeps>>.>>
So nostalgic. Remember back when we thought veganism was the way?
I ate spinach and pooped 4 hours later that was my first poop in 4 days thanks spinach

I just had a platefull hopefully it works cuz it's been a month since i last pooped and i'm so funcking scared😣😨

Just had a type 4 poooop it was amazing, but now after 2 week had nothing but type 1 help meeeeeee
It’s been for 4 days for me imma try 😭
You briefly mentioned chamomile tea but I was blown away at how much this softens the stool, changed my life!
Good to know!
Thank you❣
I can’t say enough how much I appreciate your videos. I’ve been dealing with brain cancer all year and between surgery and the chemotherapy drugs, constipation has been a weekly struggle for months. I wish I had found you sooner. Your knowledge and ability to teach is such a relief, thank you 🙏
@dillonreichel191 Hi Dillon reaching out to say hello and see how you’re travelling 🙏 my very best wishes to you, Michelle
Who else is constipated during quarantine
Me
RUUBYBEAR Yt I thought it was just me
Help
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover what are symptoms of constipation try Trentvorty Herbal Protection Theorem (should be on google have a look )?
It is a smashing exclusive product for curing constipation naturally minus the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my m8 got excellent results with it.
Me, it hurts as hEll.
Excellent video and so happy that someone has addressed this huge issue, mostly in the western hemisphere and developing countries. Laxatives are the #1 over the counter drug in the US, that should tell everyone something. So grateful for this as I am an highly educated IBS sufferer for over 40 years and continue to work to discover ways to manage it.
I’m type 1 and 2. Guys the PAIN. I’m 12 and I cry my HEART OUT. THAT HURTS WHEN IT IS STUCK HALF IN ANd HALF OUT
Autumn M Ok thanks so much!
how are you doing now?
Same and it will hurt afterwards, like my butthole would burn in pain.
🙄🙄🙄 like I know
@@peachy9493 I’m doing better!
Michelle has so much common sense when it comes to applying interventions to IBS symptoms. The best!!!!
@50hellkat2 I'm really glad they make sense, thanks so much for taking the time to comment ❤️ Wish you all the best! 🙏
Foods to limit:
White rice
Asians: i'm ready to die
😂
@@CrimsonRoseX same
Idk how to tell my mother
Omg literally there's no way I can quit white rice 😭
Panamanians: also sobbing
Thank you so much for this video, I have a hernia, and this video has saved me from pain and further problems.
I really appreciate all your videos, the osteoporosis exercises have helped me tremendously and my posture is better and my awareness and strength have improved helping to relieve my mid back pain! Thanks so very much!
Constipation and hemorrhoids are a bad mix. Changed my diet about a year ago knocking out processed foods and cheese. I have to be strict with it or I go back to misery. I feel better and have more energy.
You so lucky, I'm dealing with both, they make my life miserable and I've been trying to eat healthy
I've been suffering with constipation and hemroids. Anal fissures are fun. Some days I wish I didn't wake up because the pain takes my breath away. Three years of this.
@@davidmelo4771what types of measures u had adopted for fissure kindly share with me i have fissure and have severe pain.
Amazing clear and practical free content is hard to find. Thanks!
ive been crying so much about my fissure this morning.. It was gone and it came back... trying everything again with food. This helps me soooo much!
It took me years to figure out these things by myself and you explained it all in few minutes. Shame I found your channel only now. Thank you for your effoet
@m4ryou5h thank you for your lovely comment. I'm really so glad that I've been able to help. Wishing you all the best for your future health and happiness 🙏 💖
Excellent service
Thank you, Michelle! Your tips help me to remember and be able to protect my pelvic floor. I currently have been struggling with having to push hard to have a BM and it scares me. I don't want a prolapse!
Thank you so much! Appreciate the amazing helpful intention you have on your content! Love from Kansas!
Olive oil in moderation (i.e. 1 tsp after each meal) helps quite a bit to soften stool and make bowel movements easier and lessen IBS-C pain. It's a great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Try Green pears everyone! I ate 2 and found relief!
i did a type 4 today. i feel like i am on top of the world.
I'd be lying if i say i wasn't jealous
I’m jealous
Prune juice works really well and tastes AMAZING!!
Agreed!!
When do you drink it? Mornings or evenings ? Thank you .
@@Lolipop59 I drank it really whenever it can to mind! I put it in a glass and put water too just because it can taste a little strong. So honestly drink it whenever it comes to mind!! 🥰
@@sileee5588 does it help turn your poo poo into a type 4
Cactus leaves..(nopal in Spanish).. You can blen it with water and drink it.. You will be amazed in how easy it is to have a bowel movement.. If you just can't take the taste as it is.. You can blend it with other fruits to hide the taste and flavor.. You can use orange, pineapple etc.
I started an apple cider vinegar regimen a month ago and a softened stool was a positive side effect. One tablespoon in glass of water in the evening hour before bed.
Hi, I just subbed,this is a very helpful video, alot of ppl suffer with this problem. Your advice was quick and straight to the point, thankyou!🙂
To soften it up, gulp 1 litre of water in one go ! What better softener than water !
Great informative video thanks!
Lovely advice thanks Michelle.
Thank God for you and your channel! The Queen of..."Going."
@mwngw my pleasure - happy to help! You ROCK with your great support, thank you so much 🙏
Great video. Lots of good info here. Very helpful!!!
Absolutely fantastic
You helped me so Much!!!!
Your blogs are so very helpful and straight forward to follow - thankyou from this NZer.
Thank you so much for talking about this. I really appreciate your help. I just subscribed.
Thank you. Working on it , all the time.
Great advice! I just had surgery and the painkillers messed me up. Since the surgery affected my abdomen, double whammy!
So, I used the Moo video and food advice and it worked.
Thank you, you're a knowledgeable person!!🤗
Well done Jennifer, good approach post op!
Who else is here because you randomly got a hard ass stool you can’t get out
Me
Me rn😭😭😭
It’s annoying now scared to poop 💩 now 🚽
Thank you so much! For some reason I get constipated easily even though I really never eat white bread, cheese and stuff like that!
Wonderful tips thank u
This is great thank you! Can't wait to see if this works for me.
Marshmallow root to add to this wonderful advice. To support mucus membrane will help passing stools. With added bonus to support all mucus membranes and is wonderful wound healer x great video
Wonderful tips. Will definitely incorporate these into my diet.
Helpful info for me! Especially about clearing the bowel first before introducing the good foods. Baked (or microwaved in a wet paper towel) sweet potatoes with the skin are good, too.
Actually constipation is not a funny topic, it is one of the main causese of cancer
Nida Hasan of a particular type of cancer?
@@ah-ss7he
Colon cancer
You guys are scaring me
Thank you so much
Indeed, yes it should be generally known. Kudos for your resolve and Presentation
Im so glad you found this positive to view! 🙏
Good information, thank you.
Eat more figs/prunes/apple also easy digestive veggies , drink 2-3 liter of fluids daily , begin your day with two cup of warm water , increase your spices like cayenne pepper, chili flakes, turmeric, ginger, and milk/fruit juices are good as well , the most important thing reduce your meal size and divide it to more than one meal a day it will help you , don’t take a big meal or OMAD.
Increase your good gut bacteria by taken kefir/kimchi/yogurt/Sauerkraut/tempeh/pickled cucumber.
Or take it as supplement “probiotics” .
Stay away from potato/white bread/banana/white rice.
Use less fluid while eating so you can chew your food more by forcing your saliva to make easier for your gut/bowels.
Have a good day 👋🏻🌹
Some good suggestions, thank you!
Thank you I will try this
Stay away from bananas? Why?
Good because I drank 2 cups of warm water today in the morning but it didn't help
@@lxciii5720 have you been following it consistently? If so how do u feel now?
That was good descriptive video....Well done...thanks a lot
@ErArpit Kapoor you're welcome. Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for your support. Very much appreciated indeed - I hope you benefit from this video information 💖
Thank you so much. Pleasant and professional presentation. It works.
My pleasure Grande001, so glad this helps you out 🙏
I love you Michelle❤️ thank you
Great video Michelle on like that.
It was quite easy to understand, I would probably listen to you talk about anything! I find your accent pleasing, not hard to understand at all. God bless you Ma’am. I am trying to help my wife understand she doesn’t need to take stool softeners & to just go the natural way! Thanks 🙏🏾
@nico quichocho Thank you for your kind words and support! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful and easy to understand. As for your wife, it's great that you're helping her understand the benefits of natural stool softeners. In the long run, relying on natural methods is a healthier and more sustainable approach to maintaining regular bowel movements. Best of luck to you both! 🙏 💖
Thanks for this wonderful video 🥰🥰🥰🙏✅
Excellent video!
Thank you for the info. Please, if you can, talk about the “drying” effect of low estrogen for women at perimenopause/menopause.
I have very bad constipation my tummy get bigger and people as me if am pregnant I have consult my doctor so now am looking at food I can and can not eat thank you this help guilty of all the bad food
There’s that fad diet, celery juice. Lots of testimonials on YT. Works, but hold on to your hat.
Thank you for this awesome and helpful video Michelle! Before I ran across your great channel I also typed in to TH-cam Reiki for constipation and found that helped me as well… Joyful healing, healthy, fun and wonderful blessings to everybody and everything everywhere! 🙏☮️🤟🏽🥳💞🍀🍓
Thanks so much for the info..it will really help..God bless u.

Luis Santiago depends on the situation
God damn it hurts!
Very informative and useful info. Thank yo
My pleasure!
Thanks a lot for this video. I greatly appreciate it. I was looking for my elderly dad. And I'm greatful.
@Morenita29 my pleasure! Thank you for taking the time to comment. I do hope this helps your dad. All the best! 🙏 💖
Feel your pain, it’s bad enough when it happens to us. Times a thousand when caregiving.
As can be seen from Comments, it’s all so worrying. Lots of videos now on how to make a castor oil pack. Apply castor oil to flannel cloth…usually sold right next to the castor oil.
Or use a well worn clean white that -shirt.
Cover the abdomen with the cloth, then plastic or some cloth to act as a barrier layer. No dyes, make it white. Half an hour with a heating pad. The purpose of the flannel is to form a seal, right up against the skin.
The pack can be refrigerated to use a few times. The oil will wash out, but more than one washing usually, pre-soak in baking soda water and then wash.
The abdomen will become totally relaxed. Might put you to sleep, so relaxed.
Recommended to use baking soda water to wipe the abdomen area. Toxins might have risen to skin surface, don’t wait to shower, swipe the area with clean baking soda water.
Don’t want toxins to go back where they came from, cleanse the area.
It’s a ritual we’re doing. When panicked, the body connection is disturbed. Like many people, the only time I have trouble is when I travel. Habits are habits, after all.
For fissures it’s Vitamin E capsules all the way. Bite end to release the oil.
It’s a perfect amount, or use two. Keep Vitamin E in the refrigerator, all oils become rancid…refrigerate, End of problem. Twice or three times, healed.
Lots of things work. Nothing works unless we apply Persistence.
Keep a record by taking a quick photo, give it a date to see when you started. Email yourself.
There’s no need for a flame-thrower drug, home remedies work. Look up Country Wisdom, Native American, Appalachian. The grandmothers knew.
It works, but needs persistence. Try different things. Dip a heel of Italian bread on a plate with a dollop of oil, olive, castor, whatever healthful oil, many are not.
No need to take from a spoon….acquired taste or not. Just swipe a piece of bread, pleasant taste.
Love Michelle’s content. I subscribed first thing.
thank you so much for the valuable information :)
I heard the large seeds and grains in breads can be hard to digest if you have IBS C. I stay away from them.
Thank you for making this video, it is really motivating me to try something to make my constipation better. I think you mentioned to possibly avoid caffeine. I sometimes have 1 or 2 bottles of kombucha a day (15 ounces each bottle), and there is 68 mg of caffeine in each bottle. My problem is having firmer, lumpy stools, bloating, and feeling like my stomach is full. I have been thinking of taking sennosides to help clear me out, but I’m a little worried it might cause cramping or vomiting.
Thankyou doctor
Thank you for the suggestions
Pleasure!
Very nice presentation
Thanks 🙏 glad this helps
No wonder! I ate pretzels at work. Thank you.
Normally I'm very regular with a fairly predictable rhythm (sometimes to the point of diarrhea). But 4 weeks ago after having blood in my urine (from kidney stone issues) I changed my diet, cutting down on sugar and fruit, drinking lemon water and adding more vegetables. The result has been less regularity and light constipation. I'm the kind of person who has a history of indulging in chocolate, often two chocolate bars (sometimes more) on a work day.
I am taking iron pills and am constipated, so this video really helps!
With psyllium husk, or cereal grains, be sure to drink lots of liquid to go with them. When you buy the commercial product Metamucil, the instructions say to drink a certain amount of water with it. In fact you mix it in.
Interesting topic thank you 😊
I am grateful for your support-Tosha💓
Wonderful video I’m wondering specifically about sweet potatoes in terms of softening the stool and peppermint tea also
Good video, well done!
Ok guys at first I too have constipation buy after drinking around 6-10 glasses of water per day and exercising daily+eating lots of vegetables like spinach and fruits like peaches and bananas, now my stools are soft af! U should try it 😀
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your videos your fantastic . I have a rectal prolapse and all the others and I have to be so carful what I eat
Fibre puts my bowel into a massive spasm but not having veg and just having about 6 prunes at night and lots of water seems to be working 😊💖
Thank You so much. I am going to write it down and post it on my home!
@shafi9995 You're very welcome! It's a wise idea to have a visual reminder posted at home. Consistency is key, and I'm glad you're taking proactive steps towards better health. Wish you all the best!🙏
Thanks for sharing this video, very informative information.
@Mark Reynolds you're welcome! Hope this helps🙏 ❤️
Thank you! I've fainted from the pain while passing a bowel movement twice now, it's definitely a difficult change to limit so many foods at once but I hope I never go through that again.
That’s a significant happening.
Might want acupuncture. A simple technique might clear a kink in the hose.
Acupuncturists are helpful when people have difficulty conceiving. Helpful? They brag about making lotsa babies.
How are you doing now any improvements??
Not surprising….there are pathways so -rich with blood, pockets, it’s a busy thoroughfare.
That it happened more than once is significant.
Elvis died, a structural twisted problem which created a long held backup. A kink in the hose.
They have cameras now that they didn’t have then. Whether a colonoscopy detects an abnormality, that can be found out.
Underlying story is….famous guy gets another pill. That’s not medicine.
They didn’t have great computers and cameras then.
We live in a world of what does my insurance cover, he didn’t.
Regional hospitals and teaching hospitals are better when you don’t know what it is.
To anyone still wondering. Grapes and prune juice worked for me. With water of course
Thank u so much god bless you for sharing your helpful information
Pleasure !
Need to memorize this again I am just been through a procedure that I don’t want to go through again…..
Anyone who is anticipating a difficult bowel movement with dense stool, there is a product to soften it called a glycerin suppository. You lay down on your side to insert through the anus. It should work within an hour. The only brand I know is called Fleet. I prefer to go the natural way and take Michelle's diet advice but sometimes, you're just stuck.
If i 💩 i feel like i'm dying it really hurts 😭
Try eating grapes! They really work, if you have BLOOD go to your/a medical doctor now! Drink warm water. I had it for 3 days, not serious though. If you go to poo by squating, it'll make it worse sit up straight! I've tried many of these!
Are you better?
Yup same here
Drink ton of water and i mean almost half a gallon, then go on a walk.
Me too I dont like going to the bathroom 🥴😔
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
This comment section is an eye opener😳😳
Hemorrhoid gang where you at?
I've been living off fruits and salads for months, when she said chocolate can be a stool softener I almost shed a tear of joy
@@hiddenhills1 high fiber diet - make sure it's a healthy balance of soluble and insoluble fibers.
Warm water sitz bath with epsom salt 3 time a day. Although this is more for external.
Get a doctor to prescribe an ointment (or repositories) like Proctosydl, use that after sitz bath, it really helps.
Consider visiting a doctor - maybe get rubber band ligation if the doctor suggests it.
Also, don't forget to drink lots and lots of water.
Whatever you do, don't strain your bowels. So no heavy lifting, smoking, coffee, alcohol etc.
@@hiddenhills1 depends on how severe they are. Many people live with grade 1 or 2 internal hemmies and it's considered normal, even by doctors. I'd say consult a doctor to be sure, because if it's getting worse and ends up in grade 3 or 4, then it's going to be a real issue.
This is so helpful. Thank you for creating this video.
My pleasure!
@@michellephysio does coconut oil helps ease the pain? Am hurting even after using medication for 21days😢
Love D tips. Thank you.
@Leela Narinesingh You are so welcome! I'm really glad they make sense, thanks so much for taking the time to comment ❤️
This helped! Thank you very much ma’am!
You're very welcome!
@@michellephysio psyllium and lemon + milk and increasing fluid intake almost reduced the pain 70% on first day I will try oats and veggies hopefully will add better results
Awesome video. Also, chia seeds and flaxseed are a great source of fiber also
@mindful consumer thank you! Great tip thanks so much for sharing! 🙏
Hi Michelle. I'm going in for a hysterectomy because of a uterine prolapse and pelvic floor repair on 9/11/20. I'm really concerned about constipation as I was told by my surgeon not to push in any way. Thankyou so much for this video and the one on using pillows to sleep. I already use the pillow between my knees due to 3 of my lumbar disks that are prolapsed. Thank you again ❤
My pleasure - many ladies here start on an osmotic laxative called Movicol or Odmolax from day 1 of their surgery, it keeps the stool soft but emptying stays gentle. I usually recommend a dose the day or two prior to surgery as well so the bowel is empty to start with. If you look up Osmolax equivalent in your country you’ll find it - usually 1 sachet a day and very safe (check with your pharmacist). All the best for your surgery!
Thanks a lot💖..u help me😘God Bless you madam🙏🏽
Thanks!

What about constipated.but pooping?
Hello
How about diverticulosis? Any tips to heal that holistically? Thanks 😊
I always learn something from you Michelle, thanks... I eat simple popcorn that I do in the microwave, about two bowls a day, because it satiates my enormous appetite without a lot of calories- it's organic, whole grain, no salt or butter etc. But I notice you said, "occasionally". Now, I'm a little constipated right now, so thanks to you, I'm going to temporarily skip my intake of a teaspoon or so of psyllium seeds into my instant oatmeal (though I'll continue to add: cinnamon, maple syrup, collagen, and frozen blueberries). So is that much popcorn part of the problem? The problem is, I'd like to lose a bit of weight, and the addition of popcorn was serving as a partial replacement for my formerly large intake of nuts: salted almonds and salted pistachios, plain walnuts and plain Brazil nuts: I'm nuts for nuts! So here I was thinking I was doing a good thing by emphasizing the popcorn over the nuts, but now... I dunno; what do you reckon? Thanks again.
I switched to gluten free and amazingly its cured me if my issues
I did too the last week and a half and am doing better
