This series is SO IMPORTANT, my friends. Even if constipation doesn't impact you, I'll bet you a trillion $$ that it's an issue for someone you care about. Today's installment is Part One of a 4-part series. I hope you find it helpful!
The longest I’ve ever gone without a poop was 11 days. I was in tremendous pain and anxiety. I didn’t know about how to take care of my self. Now, I eat more beans deliberately, the fiber really helps me. Yoga is great, I am a fan of rapid breath of fire. That always helps. This is a great video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much Dr. Bri. This video helps me a lot. I found that I was pooping with wrong muscle contractions throughout my life. I am now 33 yrs old. I am currently suffering incomplete bowel movement. But as soon as I tried your technique, my incomplete sense disappeared and I felt more relaxed. I really appreciate that you are helping many patients like me. Have a good one.
Just wanted to say thank-you for this channel. Turns out i'd been getting terrible advice in the words of "more keagals , more keagals, try weights while you exercise to" for last 10 years. I was to embarrassed to push the conversations further with doctors. Your channel gave me some better questions for me to ask myself and for new doctors and i have just started Pelvic PT. Turns out my whole floor is to tight and uncoordinated. I really wish this was more openly known and discussed at a younger age. So thank-you!
AWESOME!!! This is so great to hear. I will be sharing this in one of my upcoming Dr. Bri TV episodes! I love that you're feeling more empowered now to ask the right questions and start conversations about these topics. xoxox!
I just have to tell you I am so thankful I found you and your channel. I understand more now about what is going on with my issues and felt so alone for so long. Finding you has been a life saver and I just wanted you to know. Thank you for everything you do 🙇
Dr. Bri!!! I think you are very wise to be open and address this is issue. Unfortunately, the people who are going to be turned off by it are the ones who need it the most. This is a very good video and I realized by the way I have a squatty potty in one bathroom and a stool in the other because they seriously both work about the same but, what I realized is that my bottom actually does not fit up on the commode seat very well and I need a smaller seat with a smaller hole!!!! It is very uncomfortable to sit here for a long period of time with out my leg starting to go numb!! I may actually try to get a toddler seat to put in there. Is that crazy or what? Thank you for doing this series. I know it is going to help soooooo many people.
YES, Dawn - I know, it's such a bummer about what you said -- that the people who are going to be turned off may be the ones who need it most! But like ALL of my work, I just hope that I can "plant a seed" that perhaps they can come back to when they're ready...
FemFusion Fitness I know. I was one of the people who did not have a problem with it. I was in total denial. I really believe if I had been more honest with the muscle strength tester I had started seeing a year ago.....my prolapse would not have happened.
Thank you for this!! I was constipated most of my life, followed by horrible episodes of IBS, so basically no bowel movements for 1-2 weeks and then massive diarrhea for a week before my period and a week on my period. This went on for years and years, finally week vegan and had regular daily bowel movements for the first time in my life! While pregnant constipation returns, postpartum first time around my gut swing back pretty good and I went back to having regular bowel movements, this time around not so much. One month postpartum and having to take lax a day every day and even then am having difficulty with my bowels. I'll have one every second day or so. Which brings me to my next issue, prolapse! Remember how I'd been diagnosed with my bladder prolapse get last year? Well I just saw another physiotherapist today and she did a much better external and internal exam than the first one I'd seen during my pregnancy. She examined me laying, but I know my prolapse had been apparent whilst laying because I checked myself the other day, she asked me to bear down and saw nothing. She then did a rectal exam, again asking me to bear down, she assessed that I have a rectal prolapse! 😱😳 Which would make sense, considering my history, but I am shocked! How could 2 doctors, a gynaecologist and a physiotherapist tell me it was my bladder, without even doing a proper full internal and external exam and then now discovering it is most likely my rectum?! I'm at a loss. Have you ever experienced this with patients, where they got one diagnosis, but you found it was something different? Or like the physio said today, perhaps it was my bladder and that's resolved and it's now my rectum, but I highly doubt it. Also just wondering if it is rectal, since nothing is protruding out of my anus? Is it rather my small intestine? Dunno, so Confused! She basically inserted her finger in my anus, asked me to bear down and told me she could push into my vaginal wall, creating a bulge.
Yes, unfortunately, it can be difficult to assess prolapse!!! I'm so sorry you feel like you've been getting the runaround... I wish I could chime in more, but I don't feel comfortable since you are seeing providers and since I cannot examine you myself. Wishing you so much luck...
This series is right on time! I’ve been using your (okra free) smooth move recipe in my smoothies and oats! It’s very effective 💩 I’m on operation constipation relief for my pelvic health.
AWESOME!!! So glad to hear that you've been loving the Smooth Move Smoothies. The okra-free version is great, isn't it? Flavorless and SO MANY great nutrients besides the fiber and mucilage!
Squatty potties are awesome- i bought my entire household squatties two years ago for christmas. I think out of 5 of us, only my mom and i use them; their loss lol
Iam so happy i found your channel all that time and iam doing wrong exercises with zero results except body pain, i have neck and wrist problems i cant do even beginner workout they called beginner while they r not., but your workouts are really different from all other videos
I'm so glad you found FemFusion Fitness! Enjoy exploring. I think the most important thing is to learn more about your body and to learn how to listen to it (and stop whenever YOUR body needs to... Knowing your own limits is key). This vid comes to mind as one that might be helpful for you: th-cam.com/video/yHePbvXB3u8/w-d-xo.html
Pretty much everything I get asked for help with these days, “Dr Bri has a video on that…”. Not only are you informative, but so cute and creative. I’ve been dancing to “things that make you go poo” since I looked this up for a friend.
That's fantastic! I'm thrilled my videos are helping you and your friends. And I love that you're dancing to "Things That Make You Go Poo" - keeping it fun is part of the healing process!
I do some of this. I’m 48 and missed my colonoscopy because the Go Lightly made me pass out 1/2 way through. I’ve been having “vagus nerve disorder” issues for a few years. I have many MS like symptoms. My concern is the last year I feel more dizzy during BM even when they are relatively normal. It’s very disconcerting. ☹️
Also, I would like to add that constipation was a major factor and still is for healing my prolapse and it can make it go backwards real quick if My bowels are not moving down there as they should.
Hear hear. I always feel like my prolapse symptoms are coming back when I get "backed up." It can feel scary! And discouraging! That's probably why I'm so obsessed with talking about poop. LOL!
Yes!! I am too Dr. Bri! They say all disease or dis-ease starts in the gut. And, I know it is true. Have you heard of Dr. Jennifer McDaniels I have been researching her pine oil protocol??? It is very interesting.
Seriously, EVERYONE should be educated on this and all pelvic health. Along with proper diet. Physical therapists, nutritionists, etc. should be as "normal" as regularly seeing a dentist. No wonder so many people suffer with health issues. This kind of info should be the first stop for people, especially for preventative measures.
As the old saying goes what goes up must come down or what goes in must come out I think these work interchangeable especially for us, “hero wonder moms”:-) hugs, Dawn
came here after the abdominal massges vid coz well we'll need to go after that so thanku for showing the diff positions. I have constipation mainly from eating meat so i have either the no.1 or 2 "types" IMAGINE . .....thanks again..AND I NEED A SQUATY POTTY STAT!
FemFusion Fitness no this is my son’s channel !! He used my email when he was little. He wanted to start a lego channel. But, we never got around to it. You are hilarious Dr. Bri!! I want to start my own channel some day. Like a gardening / spiritual/ healing coaching channel! Lol :-) I just have not had the time yet.....maybe someday....You looked so cute in the video on the commode!
Thank you so much Dr Bri for your work! Do you have any advice for people with anismus, very difficult condition and looks like a Botox only the option, so hopeful to hear from you 🙏🏻
The Smooth Moves ebook or ? How do I get it? I’m not real proficient on the internet…thank you! You may be just the answer I’ve been needing desperately ….
It is so hard to believe that we live in a society of people who actually believe it is the norm to ignore bowel habits and put everything before it. I mean you can only roll the dice so long until it finally catches up with you. Maybe you could do a video on explaining how the normal digestion process works and how have undigested food in the small and large intestines and what actually happens.... just the amount of stress alone it puts on the body then you have all those toxins infiltrating to the blood and rest of the body.... wow what a visual I am actually creeping my self out. Then there is parasites!!!
Thank you so much for this. I have been struggling for about 6 months. There seem to be so many things to get right for things to go well. I look forward to watching 2 & 3 and learning more.
So many people do -- you're certainly not alone! I have a whole playlist dedicated to constipation/elimination: th-cam.com/play/PLDputRBPsHFQ13MwZcuWPUx1akvkUCdjg.html
When I prop my feet up, I have to engage my adductors a lot to keep my knees from opening too much. It feels like more work instead of a way to relax. Has anyone else felt this way?
hello :) first of all THANK YOU for all the information , lessons and care you provide in your channel :) i'm diagnosed with rectocele about 4 months ago and i've been advised to loess weight ( i'm an obese woman :( 42 BMI ) and i really want to loess the weight and the fat i've been carrying for almost 30 years BUT i'm afraid my rectocele will worsen :( i've read that all my abdominal fat is kinda supporting the organs and when they're gone there will be emptiness and in that point the prolapse will be worse :( is there a way i can prevent this from happening ? excuse my english im trying my best to describe :( any advice will be HUGELY helpful :)
Hi Najola1988! I think you must weight the pros and the cons. Ultimately, carrying excess weight can worsen prolapse, and reducing your weight (in a safe, healthy way) will make you feel more energetic and healthier overall. Abdominal fat, in particular, is problematic as it's linked to chronic health conditions that can even reduce your lifespan. Personally, I think it's worth the risk of seeing the theory you mentioned come to pass (i.e. the theory that abdominal fat is supporting your pelvic organs). I have actually never heard that theory, and do not think it's valid. But even it if is, is it worth holding onto the extra weight so as not to "test it?" I recommend slowly increasing your activity level by walking more, eating clean/unprocessed foods and drinking plenty of water, and starting my free "Lift" series. You can learn more about it and sign up here: femfusionfitness.com/lift-pelvic-organ-support/ After signing up, you'll receive 1 email per week for 5 weeks. Each weekly email will link you to the instructional video for that week, and a handout with a summary of the exercises and lifestyle tips (so that you don't have to re-watch the video every day). You might also benefit from using a pessary, but this is something you'd need to talk to your doctor about! Good luck!
I can only imagine how bloated you were in those 20 days!! I'm not entirely sure if I'm constipated because I still poop once a day but I certainly have a problem by doing it. I kinda force it too much and feel so weak after. My stool are also inconsistent, but they are all liquidy.
When I sit elevated with my legs up like that I get a horrible pulling feeling on my vagina and my prolapse feels like it pops out even more.. what does that mean and what should I do?
"Things that make you go poo." So catchy. Thank you for this. Women more so than men walk around like they dont poo. Drives me nuts because it's a normal body function. It's like prolapse, just not talked about....
Dr. 2 suggestions about your videos (esp. bc of your chosen TH-cam channel name that specifies "fem": 1) that you consistently mention if these pointers apply to people with male/female genitalia & 2) that you specifically note if a technique for elimination has/doesn't require variations for people with different body types (i.e. muscular, thinner, heavier, folks with internal scarring from surgeries perhaps, etc).
My channel name has changed since this video was made! In the past, I worked primarily with women or people with female genitalia. Now I work with ALL genders. My channel name is now Vibrant Pelvic Health, although you'll see in my older videos references to FemFusion Fitness. Unfortunately, I can't go back and change the references to my previous name! RE: your other suggestions, thanks. I"ll keep that in mind.
A very interesting and informative video! I know many people feel awkward talking about pooping but it really is important. I learned something new today, that some people really don't poop but once a week! That's amazing! You would think their abdomen would hurt all the time!! Going to check out your second video next.
You can view all of my playlists here: bit.ly/FemPlaylists >> If you go to the "Constipation/Elimination" playlist, you'll see the entire "things that make you go poo" series (parts 1-4).
This series is SO IMPORTANT, my friends. Even if constipation doesn't impact you, I'll bet you a trillion $$ that it's an issue for someone you care about. Today's installment is Part One of a 4-part series. I hope you find it helpful!
Healthy beautiful and intuitive

Now, I eat more beans deliberately, the fiber really helps me. Yoga is great, I am a fan of rapid breath of fire. That always helps. This is a great video. Keep up the good work.
I regularly go 3-4 weeks without a bowel movement. My dad and son have the same problems as well; I guess it's hereditary.

Do you get palps from vagus nerve issues? The vagus nerve can wreak havoc on your digestive tract (as well as cause heart symptoms).
Wow! I have had a squatty potty for a year, but I have been using it wrong all this time!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
I'm so glad this cleared things up for you!!!
Excellent video .I will definitely buy a “ squatting potty “ . and save this video for future use 😊😊
I was so dismayed when the squatty potty I ordered online didn't help me at all.
Also, I would like to add that constipation was a major factor and still is for healing my prolapse and it can make it go backwards real quick if My bowels are not moving down there as they should.

Maybe you are propping your feet too much ? I encourage to take deep breaths to calm your body. It might help you gain better control of your muscles.
@@vibrantpelvichealth I think I am using too narrow of a stool. I started propping only one foot up and it is much better.

Hi I have this problem 4 days know and I just head an Hurnia op and I can't poop
So we exhale by the sound Aha when poop 💩 starts coming out?
Yes :)
Hello Dr i want to ask. If I have prolapse then should I keep my thighs higher than hips on toilet seat
Please talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns. Squatting is typically helpful for elimination ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
I can only imagine how bloated you were in those 20 days!! I'm not entirely sure if I'm constipated because I still poop once a day but I certainly have a problem by doing it. I kinda force it too much and feel so weak after. My stool are also inconsistent, but they are all liquidy.

Same!
I think I need your help but can’t find any contact info
SO glad you found my channel! Lift is an amazing program that can help reverse some symptoms. Here is a trial of Lift: bit.ly/liftforfree
Can you do some of these stretches while you're having a hard time urinating? If yes, which ones?
You can try them, and see if they help. Feel free to check the constipation/ elimination playlist for videos about urinating.
"Things that make you go poo." So catchy.
Thank you for this.
Women more so than men walk around like they dont poo. Drives me nuts because it's a normal body function.
It's like prolapse, just not talked about....
Hi there
Nothing works for me
Sorry to hear that! Please talk to your doctor for individualized guidance. ~Vibrant Support
Dr. 2 suggestions about your videos (esp. bc of your chosen TH-cam channel name that specifies "fem": 1) that you consistently mention if these pointers apply to people with male/female genitalia & 2) that you specifically note if a technique for elimination has/doesn't require variations for people with different body types (i.e. muscular, thinner, heavier, folks with internal scarring from surgeries perhaps, etc).
My channel name has changed since this video was made! In the past, I worked primarily with women or people with female genitalia. Now I work with ALL genders. My channel name is now Vibrant Pelvic Health, although you'll see in my older videos references to FemFusion Fitness. Unfortunately, I can't go back and change the references to my previous name! RE: your other suggestions, thanks. I"ll keep that in mind.
Genitalia and gender are two dufferent things. There Only is male and female genitalia.
Hey ma'am
My poo is soft but won't come out what do I do. ?
Oh no. I recommend contacting your healthcare provider for personalized advice. In the meantime, you might want to monitor your fiber intake !
what about grunting? would that help?
Go for it! As stated in this video, vocalizations can be very helpful.
Mooooo. Moooo moooo. Forced cough has also helped me.
@@donnabeyer5689 Thanks. I tried to get in touch with you personally. It helped

A very interesting and informative video! I know many people feel awkward talking about pooping but it really is important. I learned something new today, that some people really don't poop but once a week! That's amazing! You would think their abdomen would hurt all the time!! Going to check out your second video next.
Great! Glad you're here, and yes, it's SO important to talk about this info!
I can't seem to find part two of this.
You can view all of my playlists here: bit.ly/FemPlaylists >> If you go to the "Constipation/Elimination" playlist, you'll see the entire "things that make you go poo" series (parts 1-4).
Thanks much! @@vibrantpelvichealth
@@navelfan I wish I did go once a week! I don't go for 3-4 weeks and that's normal for me.
