Its quiet interesting how we reject the reality of our situation and expect to be able to observe it, control it and even change it. I used to be financially depressed until I read a book that made me realized that the secret to making a million is making better investments||.
May I ask which investments are good?? I've been looking at a few different ones but want others' opinions as well..!!
Financial depression is a type of depression that is a severe drop in GDP: It is characterized by massive job losses, widespread bankruptcies, and simply not knowing what to invest in with your money
*ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER,* That's whom i work with|.
What I think everyone need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in Profit!!|
is ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER on youtube? please how do i reach her!!
I wish my doctors cared for me as much as you have in your video. The knowledge you have shared shows that you care about people. You explain things in such a way that a child could understand. Your tone of voice is full of empathy and genuine interest in the welfare of your audience. Thank you, Doctor. God bless.
So true! Doctors are corporate now. We are only allowed to see our doctor for 15 minutes a visit. What are they gonna find out in 15 minutes nothing. Grrrr I have a physical nowadays no Ear Check no throat check, no chest check, or eyes. Ridiculous it seems like they guess by what we say then lots of pills that are very bad for us. I feel like Google is safer lol
Thanks for the kind words!!
Not to mention funny as hell! He's a comedian
That would be expensive
Absolutely!! The calmness is real in this man
If anything really unusual starts happening in the bathroom, your stools are strange, urgency is felt & nothing is happening and maybe you feel tired and full....... see your doctor straight away. I went on day 3. The locum said he would order tests, not spotting diverticulitis in my notes. 36 hours later, I was in surgery for peritonitis. Team 1 had stopped when the senior surgeon arrived. Infected diverticulitis had ruptured my colon, part of which was trashed. I experienced coma (not scary whilst it is happening), 4 months in hospital, 2 months home nursing, a short break, then a dreadful battle with Sepsis with 3 months in hospital. I am now on antibiotic treatment to prevent Sepsis. The moral is, do not be embarrassed, say (or write down) 'something is going wrong with my poop/bathroom visits'. Treated in good time, many problems can be fixed. Do NOT delay. If you get fobbed off, go back or see someone else.
To stay alive, I needed major repairs. I never use the loo to poop now. I miss that but at least I'm here to tell you:-
Strange poo experiences? Cannot go at all? Something really worrying? SEE A DOCTOR AND SAY! Do not become disabled, or die of embarrassment!😯
What a horrible ordeal you went and are going through.. Thank you so much for sharing and warning us. I have two friends that had that and the pain was horrendous, the one was a professional football player previously and it was so bad he was lying on the aisle of the plane sweating and holding on to the seat frames. Both were lucky to be alive, but both also do no longer have a colostomy bag. All the best to you
Wow you just told my story. Your moral of the story is 100% correct. I’m like you lucky to be here
I’m glad he didn’t scare me by saying everything he talked about meant cancer. Most doctors scare the living daylights out of me. Nice approach to a delicate subject.
If your worried get a colonoscopy it could save your life
Pictures of the “creatures” would help immensely

Thanks!
Very lntresting surpurb doctor realy inyoyed listening to himxx
I think stress is a factor too for constipation.
YESSS it is!! It can also be a side effect from medicine like Carafate. Which did it to me along with 12-15 lbs of fluid. My edema was more scary than not going 21 days!!
And diarrhea
Menopause also. Change of hormones
Unbelievable how much you can learn from TH-cam, thank you!
everyday something worth learning!
That's why I tell my school attending children that I attend classes at 'U of Tube.'

How much disinformation from drug dealing doctors trying to ruin your health so they can get rich, you mean? Plants are poison for humans. Period.
I take painkillers everyday codeine and cause constipation sometimes I can not poop for 3 to 4 days
Your explanation is so clear and concise
Dr Gundry your videos are very informative and easy to follow. They are better than when you are with other person who interrupts you constantly or they know a lot and they carry the conversation to their level leaving regular people without your information.
Dr Gundry is a quack. He is full of crap.
A persons poo is a little different from day to day, cause we do not eatge same every day.
Doctors are too busy today cramming 50 patient appointments A Day to Explain thoroughly etc.
Thanks for that - very informative and presented in a relaxed, friendly and humorous way x
As the saying goes " When you are young the prize is in the box. When you are old the prize is in the bowl".
I was constipated for a good month. I was literally pulling out marble poops manually for a month. Then had a complete bowel blockage and after 10 days of no pooping, a v bloated belly and alot of pain I ended up in hospital. I now know this was all from taking a course of antibiotics for BV. Replaced one issue for another... Wow antibiotics are horrific. Now I have to work hard to fix the damage I did to my gut 😕
OMG 😱 what did the hospital 🏥 do to help YOU 👈🏻❔💭 where WAS your blockage located ❔💭 did they have to do a colonoscopy on YOU to find OUT 👈🏻 YOU had a blockage 👈🏻❔💭 this is SO unbelievable 👈🏻 SO SORRY YOU went through that 👈🏻 how are YOU doing now 👈🏻❔💭🤍
I am 76yo male, and just had my latest colonoscopy...only two polyps, removed of course. I have noticed that my poop has changed in volume and shape somewhat...it seems to depend on what I eat!. I go back in 5 years...every one should make sure to get this procedure done..it is a relief to me, to know that a bloody stool episode I had a few months ago, was caused by hemorrhoids, which can be dealt with.
I’m glad you’re doing good 👍🏻 🤍 is getting a colonoscopy done scary 💭 how long is the procedure 💭 did YOU also get endoscopy done at the same time 💭 drinking that drink the night before how did it effect YOU besides having to go often to the bathroom 🚽💭🤍
Hi, if you are 76 and just has a colonoscopy and had only 2 polyps removed, there is no reason you need to have another colonoscopy. The doctor shouldn't be telling you you need another one at your age. Seriously, do some research, you do NOT need one at 79 years old. The doctor is making a buck off of you. If you were younger a d there was a family history, then yes. But not at 76 with only 2 polyps on your last one. No more, don't put yourself at risk of getting another one.
@@runner2008They won’t tell her that unfortunately and she will continue to go because the elder believes everything the doctor tells them instead of during their own research. So sad(Healthcare worker here)
Magnezium and hidration is exactly what's missing from a modern diet ! My 4yo niece had constipation and her mom asked me for a remedy ! "How do you give her the milk ?" Boiled - she said ! "Give her raw milk instead " or raw carrot juice - the result will be in a few hours ! My mom was a nurse and " fed" me on antibiotics shots when I was 5, 6, 8, 10 yo , even when I had no fever , no cough or other flu symptoms ! I got later, at 16-20 yo, all types of respiratory infections , including Streptococcus Aureus resistant to any treatment ! Now I treat myself only on Vitamin C , mostly from green veggies or raw food ! Wonderful for all the organs , any infection and allergy problems ! Also Vitamin C kills all types of virus ! I will never take any shots against any germ : I had enough when I was little ! Now I have a wonderful brain, thank God for this ! 🤗
At the age of 20 , I had to undergo nose surgery because I couldn't breath : i had severe allergy at dust - i couldn't walk on the street , because my nose was blocking at every speck of dust in the Air , at every smoke of anybody smoking on the wind ! No use the surgery ( the sept deviation was not the cause !) Only Dr. Henry Bieler saved my life, through his book , translated in Romanian : Proper Food-The Miracle of Healing !!
Whew !
Same here
That's the trouble with having parents in the health business they tend to run for the drugs first rather then let children fight these childhood illnesses themselves and build up their own immune systems.
If a baby /child can get gastrointestinal infections a couple of times in the 1st year and are left to fight it themselves then they'll have a good strong immune system but if you give them antibiotics all the time they'll be weak and sickly for rest of their lives. That's not to say never give them antibiotics but do it only when absolutely necessary.
I believe children are so weak these days because of all the vaccines they're being given in thev1st year of life. Its horrific what they're giving them especially in America where medical drugs are big business. Its not so bad in other countries where medicine and medical care is not monetised to the degree it is in the states.
Whenever I got vaccines I passed out
This is something I learned/learning during my diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine.. its one of the standard diagnostic methods. Colour is important too. If its the usual brown.. thats normal, because bile is what gives poop its colour. If its pale or near white.. then you got a serious problem, your bile ducts are blocked. It could be stones, cancer. I've only in my 5th month of learning TCM.. so still early.. its a 2 year course.
What if it comes out in different colors including pale, brown and normal yellow.
Generally it can have different colour's depending on what you eat. Problem colours are if its bloody.means near anus bleeding, can be up to the large intestine. If its very black you might have bleeding in your stomach or small intestine. Generally the colour should be fairly consistent brown. White or very pale usually blocked gall bladder.
Where can study traditional Chinese medicine
@@physio-anjali No idea, I think you can find places in Sri Lanka for that by googling. However, I'm not sure you can get chinese herbs easily in Sri Lanka. Might be better for you to study ayurvedic medicine. There are some overlap in methodology between ayurvedic and chinese medicine. For example, you also have things like Pulse reading, herb formulas and massage and others. To learn non-western medicine, you have to throw away almost all of your western science upbringing or you will get really confused. For example, kidneys in western medicine are primarily for waste removal and water balance in the body. In Chinese medicine, besides the waste removal, it is also responsible for bone and marrow formation(including teeth). In chinese medicine, when you age, the first to reduce in functionality is the kidneys. Because it affects bone and marrow, osteoporosis starts. Also because it affects marrow, (the brain is considered the sea of marrow), your brain function deteriorates and so does you hearing as the ears are in the sea of marrow.
@@michaelvanderbeek6869 thank you so much for the detailed explanation 🙏
I found you today and straight away I fell in love in your content. I am suffering from my guts for years and no one gave me the amount of information you gave me with all the videos I have started to watch. I subscribed today to Gundry MD Bio Complete 3 and I can't wait for it to arrive to see if it helps me with my problem. According to this video, my gut wall is probably not in a good shape as I am eating a lot of Lectin vegetables. let see if that helps me.
His products are a little expensive but they work.
Learning what our body is telling us is most important for each of us to adjust our lifestyle towards more health. Your lesson on "poop" is yet another eye opener to what is going on with our body. Thanks!
I eat sour kraut. It is fermnant for good bacteria
raw sauerkraut is good but the one in jars and tins is cooked
I bet it stinks when you blow mud
I am fermenting some right now
Sauerkraut and Ginger

I noticed when I eat Eden brand canned beans I experience zero digestive discomfort or bloating as opposed to other brands which presumably do not soak and pressure cook them. Yesterday I used the “365” brand from Whole Foods.
Leafy-Greens...Lemon & Limes In Water...and Kefir-Probiotics....
I was taught about poop when I worked in Aged Care my mum also taught me a bit. In the Army we were also taught to keep an eye on the colour of our urine
Yes, stay hydrated. I miss the Army sometimes
Oh whoa are you related to Jessica Hahn😲

I can't even imagine how boring it would be in a world without poop! Seriously, this is very informative and the older we get the more we appreciate the knowledge!
Yes I love smelling poops, let us worship ❤❤❤
I used to laugh at old folks for their fascination with poop. Then I got old……
@@DMAC1301😅
This is SO SO interesting! We are glad to have good honest doctors that don't only write prescriptions like in clinics. You spend time speaking the truth on the Internet. You all are helping so many people! For me, if I don't eat whole grain cereals in the morning I have what I call giant rabbit's droppings. It is so annoying. Also, farts with a dropping or two. Not fun!
Eat pre-biotics.
Sir, I really don't know, it's not a favor pastime, However, if this is something you strongly subject, I will prepare myself to do just that...I'm sure there's something I can learn from this experience.😊😊😊
I'm so happy to hear coffee counts as liquid
Ha!! Not my wife's coffee.
couldn't your editor include images? Didn't have to be images of actual poop. Just representation.

another one of the woke easily offended
@@baldone45 huh?
Seeing is Believing = no time for cartoon images when it comes to real health
Just look up the Bristol stool chart
I'm glad you mentioned the "artificial sweeteners" Dr. Gundry!! I never did like those because they always leave an aftertaste, and I rather use a small amount of cane sugar in my coffee because it doesn't affect me like fake sweetness do!!
Honey or maple syrup are healthier sweeteners.
My very best friend died from liver and pancreatic cancer, New Years Day 2021. He smoked heavily and ate only fast food. He was barely 57. He rarely drank hardly any water. I tried to help him after he was diagnosed, but his brother would bring 3 different fast food meals EVERY NIGHT, then he'd pick one. He went from 268 lbs., to 120 in 5 months. He stopped eating Dec. 3rd. THEN, it was only apple juice. Then it was only water. Then, nothing. He had no wife or kids, so it was mostly his mother and 2 brothers there at times who knew NOTHING, and they were not close! I had to give them pictures of him. I thought something was up with his mom because she could not finish a sentence. 3 months later, after my bf died, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at age 75. She had also been tasked with not only taking care of ( or putting up with) her youngest son and his two grown boys, cleaning house for her middle son in which she fell and broke her hip, she had also had to take on caring for her 94 yr old mother, who moved into the tiny house, because her 2 brothers would not help. One is a millionaire, and couldve hired a sitter. I havent spoken to them lately, because they had started to take me for granted, and I have my own 91 yr old mom to take care of. Yes, Im off the subject of poop, but when you start getting sick, look around and see if it's your environment and/or your circumstances making you sick, and not just food!!
I'm so sorry the loss of your friend and his mother, she sounded like a very nice woman who was fully taken advantage of by her own family and ultimately, caused her demise, may they both rest in peace!! And I agree, your environment has alot to do with your overall health especially, family who don't care about you and add to your illnesses!!
God bless you and your mother, and you are a good friend for trying to be there for your friend especially, during his difficult time when his brothers were to selfish to help him!! And yes I would stay away from that family because they sound like trouble!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Very sad to hear
Ûûûûûûuĵĵj
@@aida087 God Bless you for putting up with that horror show. It must have been awful trying to educate these people about the fact that they were Killing their family member with that food. It sounds like the house wasn't very big and there were too many idiots in it. You were good to you bf and did the best you could in a very stressful situation. As far as your bf's mom putting up with the grown kids and their nonsense, she was either nice or a doormat. Either was, everything is harder for all family members when parents fail to say NO. Call me cold, but I don't plan on any child or anyone else invading my retirement space with their grown-up stupidity. Get out, get a job, get an apartment or whatever, and get some dignity! I will help anyone who makes the effort to help themselves and has a history of trying, but lazy moochers - Oh NO!
@@janec9850 Jane, God bless you and I appreciate you for your comment, but the woman named Janet Phillips who mentioned her friend passing after him, and his mother who suffered from Alzheimer's, had the horrible family members, is the one who posted the original comment and who your kind words should go to.❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼
I like the way Dr gundry says "if you're passing marbles"
Scat
drinking a cup of water first thing in the morning before breakfast is like flushing poop from the pipes of your body
Thanks for the great info. Glad that i have the correct poop. My daily intake are as follows: 1 Avocado, 350ml of Kefir, a serving of Vegetables, 10g each of Walnuts, Peanuts & Macadamia.
Wonderful
Hi, keep learning from Dr Gundry you’re on the right track! You’ll also find out peanuts, they have a ton of lectins and should not be eaten. Replace them with Pistachios taken from their shells because the little skins they have are loaded with Polyphenols and food for your good gut bacteria!
@@margiem5173 thks for the info on Lectins in peanuts! will stop eating them.
Is that your total daily intake?
@@slsunfrog That's my daily nutritional intake, in addition to my normal meals.
I've suffered from terribly painful constipation all of my life, despite eating lots of fruit, vegetables and whole grains. I've even had to go into hospital for it, more than once.
Now I eat a very low carb diet, and take two teaspoons of linseeds a day, in cottage cheese - and no problems. Zero problems with my digestion.
Seems decades of following the official advice was useless.
Is that deliberate? I think so.
@dianne4488 just came across your reply on u tube, my husband has constipation occasionly - thank you for the advice of the low carb and linseed I am going to try this for him. I'm thankful fir your post. God bless.
If you are healthy, they are unemployed. It's simple as that.
OMG 😱 this is horrible 👈🏻 when YOU ended up in the hospital 🏥 what did they do to help your situation 👈🏻❔💭 linseeds YOU add to your cottage cheese 👈🏻❔💭 what brand of cottage cheese do YOU eat 👈🏻❔💭 this helped YOU poop 💩❔
flaxeed oil ?
Ditch whole grains and dairy. You are a human, not a cow. We are largely NOT designed to eat that garbage. Dairy has a well documented litany of inflammation issues as a result of consuming it. Same goes with grains. Garaunteed heart attacks eating that trash. Grains are what cause cholesterol issues not fixing them.
Black poop is a sign that it is the 18th of March, and that you drank a lot of Guinness the day before.
Thanks for the images of poops . Invaluable 😊
The problem with hydration, for me, is I suffer from congestive heart failure, so balancing hydration becomes a challenge at times.
I make a morning smoothie with around 30 plus grams of fiber and eat around 50 grams of fiber a day.
I like the video. I just wish as you mention each thing, you would show a photo (or even a mostly realistic drawing) of each condition and color you are describing, as each one is being mentioned.
yes me tooo!!! that would have been soooo much more precise and helpful
A photo, drawing , sketch makes everything clear. Just talk n talk may create false pictures in one's mind.
Thank you for this information. I have had colon cancer so I have a high interest in this.
Great poop analysis. We do not usually get this from anyone, even our own doctors
In the last 2 years, we've heard alot of poop from ALOT of doctors.
My how my choice of videos have changed as I get older. But we need to know about this stuff.
Thank you Dr. Gundry. You just help me realize and understand a concern I have been having for a while. ❤
Checking in from the DMV.
I haven't taken "a solid" since 2011 when I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and they gutted me twice (cut and splice). They removed some small intestine, large intestine and a huge tumor that swallowed my appendix.
A 'solid', LOL that is my new term
Good grief! Did you go through chemo?
@@oceandeep1323 over a years worth of chemo. In remission. I am a survivor though I don't know how.
Sorry to hear you went through all that Joesep.. congratulation on the remission and all the best to you
How are you Joe that sounds like aot to go through.
Excellent mate. Never had a problem. 63 and 82kg at 180cm never exercise. But I eat seasonal organic no e numbers or food products or take away ever(coz I was broke). No supplements. So for me it's not what you do eat, but what you DON'T
Thats the best news Ive heard all week that I can hydrate myself with Wine.
I found this video very informative. It was hilarious when you said your poop should be like a giant snake looking at you! 🤣
Well, I’m glad I’ve got a good gastroenterologist team.
In Sanskrit we have saying “ prabhate ( early mornings ) mal ( poop. ) darshanam ( observe) ! Means broadly every day morning study your poop to know your health. ! It’s a verse in ayurveda. . Makes so much sense. !
Wonderful, informative, and really easy to understand. Many thanks to you and I am now subscribing .
Always check your stools. As Dr Gundry confirms, massive clues to your well being. 👍
I used to be a bartender - right you are
Great video! This showed up on my feed today and I am so glad that I watched it. I really appreciate your delivery and knowledge. New subscriber as of today. I look forward to looking at other videos of yours. Thank you for what you do🌟

Certain medications can also affect your stool. Some cause constipation, regardless of fluid intake or gut health, that can then cause marbles or harder formed stools. Which can be helped or alleviated by taking a stool softening gel. Like with everything, its about balance. Finding the right balance for you, takes some experimentation… but once you find that balance is found, its easy to keep it constant. With all of the antibiotics in meat these days, its tough for anyone to keep a decent biome for the good enzymes to survive and thrive. Everyone should probably be taking some form of pre and probiotics. Fiber and magnesium, if you don’t get enough in your diet.
I took milk of magnesium and my stool was black. I got scared and ran straight to Google. It was normal for MOM
Funny thing about the diarrhea from being in foreign countries. Back in the 80's I spent 3 months bicycling across Europe. If the locals drank tap water so did I. If not I drank bottled water. Never had an issue.Then when I returned I stayed a couple of weeks with my parent and got it. I then headed home, got it again. Got over it then went and visited a friend from college. Got it again.
In those other countries I never had a problem but back in the good old USA!!!
Thank you so much Dr. For your medical advice.
Love this. Thank you for sharing you knowledge!
I just learned something. Looks like I need to hydrate more and introduce magnesium
Me too
👍 me too
Teaching people to be so picky about food, sets up a negative, worrisome mind set.
And this can cause stress, which causes them to not digest food well.
"Thoughts are things!"
My kids think I am weird because I ask about their poop. But, as a mom, I know based on the color of their urine how hydrated they are. And if they aren’t having consistent poops I increase their fiber intake.
We’ll it be nice to explain to them so they don’t think your weird 😂
They should invent a toilet that tells you about your poop if it’s normal or you need to go to the doctor ect.
unique. this was very helpful. thank you dr gundry
For the last month or so I switched my diet up. High fibre, taking cultured coconut probiotic every morning and lots of fluids. Couldn't believe when I looked in toilet.. .huge and hardly any toilet paper used.
do you eat gluten?
Yup
not having to use toilet paper is provably a great indicator of your health. !
After my gallbladder surgery yrs ago I have to go do soft serve 85% of every time I eat. And right after I eat.
I love the invo, but expected to see images to help foster more understanding. Hoping this will be added in the future.
I often go from very hard to pass stools to very loose poo in one sitting. Before emptying my bowels I get stomach cramps that ease as soon as I've pooped. My doctor thinks I have IBS, I've tried eating more healthily but nothing seems to help. I'm going to buy your book and follow your advice as you obviously know a lot about poop and gut health. Thank you for taking the time to post these very helpful videos.
You described me to a T, I have been to a Gastro doc had a colonoscopy and she thinks I have IBS and put me on a med, I have cut Dairy out which has helped...but my stools are still not normal to empty out in a sitting!!! Its exhausting...and I lost a ton of weight...so I dont think I am absorbing nutrients!!
Use butter and animal fat in cooking. We are not made to use grain fats. Full fat because fat does not make fat it is the wheat and sugar. The fat is laid down to stop absorption of the bad stuff, alcohol and tobacco, caffeine. We love it all.
You could have fecal loading - Ask for an X-ray of your intestines to find out. If so you will definitely need a colonoscopy to clear it out. It can be very dangerous if left 😊untreated
I had the same problem until I stopped eating gluten and sugar. Now it's perfectly fine.
@@ChildOfGod0777 Don't forget soup can be a great meal. If you are having any problems a meal of soup can do wonders for the body. A pot of water and boil vegetables and meat. Simple and it can stretch the available food further if you are on a budget.
it's crazy that he never mentioned the actual disease that cause change in the poop shape, color, and regularity
The food you eat is the main disease, sometimes even doctors can't say the actual disease you have because of too much GMO and vaccines, the human body is dealing with so much toxins, we are fed many staff that are killing us thanks to the government, I have a condition that doesn't even have a name, no doctor can actually say what I have but I started doing diet but am not yet healed but am better than before, so the disease is what you are eating or what is being injected in you, the cure is being consistent with healthy diet,
Since I went on thyroid medicine I’ve had daily 24/7 diarrhea!!!! Then after having my gallbladder removed the diarrhea is 10 times worse! I have to wear depends and know where the closes restroom is at all times! HELP Dr.!!!

No, my poop doesnt have EYES 😂 So I'm perfectly healthy.
Our family was sitting at the table last Saturday morning and we were comparing our poop we had collected.
Our 9 year old son had the marbles which our 12 year old daughter teased had the look of "fruity pebbles" since this
is his favorite breakfast food. Dad's poop was stringy and oily which we think was from all the beer he drinks before bed.
Our daughter had a dark black snickers bar look. Mine was strangely of a orange brown hue. We even looked at our dog's (Buster)
and concluded his looked the best since we gave him rough greens. We figured we all have work to do on our diet.
We plan to make improvements and check this out again on another Saturday morning in about two months.
Fiber, Joyce, I’m telling you it works wonders. I eat Fiber one & drink plenty of water & it HAS CHANGED MY LIFE
@@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607 Well there is one nice thing about fiber my 9 year old said and he said a big full log sure feels better to pass than an explosive shot of smelly water.
Most common cause of black stools I'm aware of are Iron supplements. Some dark berries also cause near black stools, like blueberries.
I think doctors think literally everyone has IBS. It’s just an easy, broad, catch all diagnosis. In reality our diets, even when we think we’re eating something fairly healthy, are full of chemicals and who knows what else. Dehydration probably is the cause for a lot of people including myself. You just forget to drink enough as the time goes by. I wish available foods we like were policed better in the US.
thank you so much for this video! and your voice is so soothing!
Thank you! I'm 75 and have 1 - 3 very nice 💩 s every day. I always have. They're nice soft brown Sausages usually. I'm never constipated and don't have Diarrhea unless there's a 'Stomach bug' going through. I've never had to strain or wait for a 💩 to come out. Usually it just wants to come, an hour or so after I wake up. I don't believe in schedules.
I pay attention to my 💩 the way I paid attention to my Menstruation - checking the amount and color and any clots, as an indication of my health. I had wonderful Periods without cramps or Distress. Menopause was a non-event - not one Hot Flash.
All of this I attribute to a lifetime of NO junk or processed foods - good simple foods cooked fresh. And not too much food! Why stress the Digestive System? I've never been overweight and never 'dieted.'
VERY IMPORTANT - Exercise and walking. Keeps Guts toned and moving.
Water quality is also VERY important!
2. cups of coffee did it for me, about 2 hrs later. Now got hi BP, & gotta drink decaf, works just as well, & counts as liquid intake .
You are a very intelligent woman. When I retired at 57, I started taking my health seriously. No more running for a quick lunch anywhere before passing out from hunger. I cook for one. I eat healthy. I came close to a year of not eating McDonald’s or any other fast food. I lost a nearly 50 lbs. My body started talking to me. I ate when I was hungry. I no longer lived to eat. I eat to live. Big difference! Happy to see what caused my concern years ago. Now I’m happy to learn my 💩 is good. Digestion is super important for a healthy life. Thank you for this video ❤.

@@Memow-pk1ngI miss being able to drink coffee ☕️ it always made ME go poop 💩 👍🏻
Fantastic you are fabulous yes it is informative waste expelling out of your body DR. GUNDRY YOU TRUELY ARE REMARKABLE
“You want to have 2 a day, that’s fine with me”
😂 very informative video. Though soft serve made me cringe everytime you said it, and you said it a lot 😆
@psyience - I think that was quite relevant and don't care what he called it, because he
described it very well. I know two people with this problem, one a family member and the
other a long time friend. Many people won't bring any of these symptoms up with their doctor. I'm going to send them this video.
I told my doctor about the floaters the other day. And she's told me I'm just being paranoid about my poops. She's just answered me with sarcastic words for 20mins. I was ashamed because too many people have heard at the back. While she's raising her voice at me answering about this topic. I just told her if she can give me a request for gallbladder and pancreas check up. And she just rejected it. Now i felt like i just wasted my money and 20mins talking to that moron. Plus she said, "the color of your stool will not matter or if it's floating or whatever as long as it's not black. GOT IT?!"
No doubt dr berg will have to do a vid on this soon too.
He has
This is great stuff, with the exception of one thing. Fiber is absolutely NOT a dietary requirement of human beings. And good gut health is not driven by your consumption of fiber. More often than not, fiber is a source of inflammation. It's a complex topic, but it's one worth doing your research. Really appreciate and respect Dr. Gundry, though. I've learned a lot from him.
Thank you for this vid. I'm adding it to my favourites 😁
I'm so impressed with this video that I've just subscribed. Thank you.
Had recently started getting constipation as well as cramps in my feet after moving towards a keto diet. Some research suggested magnesium may help the cramps, hopefully it will help the constipation as well 😊
@Patrizia Tierney thanks for the reply, really appreciated. The magnesium helped massively and I have also introduced salted butter into diet so the cramps are also home now. Can't imagine ever going back to the sugar and carbs now. I think I was on course for type 2 diabetes in 10 years given my constant grazing on what I thought was healthy carbs and high fructose fruit.
@@Will-db5el did you take magnesium pills or the spray on magnesium?
@@Cerez78 magnesium citrate pills. Had originally used magnesium oxide before realising it had low bioavailability which is why they were cheaper.
Avoiding carbs is good...but drink lots of fluids, as a keto diet can cause occasional constipation, for sure.
@@Will-db5elwhich is the best magnesium for constipation 💩 I’m still SO confused there’s SO many magnesium pills 💊 to choose from 🤯
Thankyou, great video, even greater information. This showed up in my feed just now. You have gained a new subscriber all the way in the Caribbean.
Dr Guidry Dr Gundry thanks so very much 👏👏👏👏👏👏
This video is like reading a book with no visuals and having to imagine everything
Thank you for putting on this video it doesn't seem really important to talk about poop butt now that you talked about it it is very important just like you said I have been going through a lot of things that I thought were just normal on my life but listening to you it seems that I might need some help with my pancreas and I might need to get checked out maybe my liver and and probably change some Diet habits but thank you for the video very very helpful
Great video! An index in the description to key facts is a suggestion.
Picked up "Bugs" in Mexico causing diarrhea? Take some pepto... got a good laugh from that thanks doc.
Regular inspection of your bodily outputs is part of special forces training, it’s vital to assess your effectiveness and take corrective action. As soon as possible. Often armies have been compromised by poor health rather than contact with the opponent. They should teach this at secondary school.
Great informative video. I used to have the marbles, no more. Eating a plant based diet, lots of water, magnesium and MAG O7 is awesome for constipation.
MAG O7 is sold in most health food stores and on line.
Which magnesium you buy and do you take the magnesium and the mag o7 every day.
Ppl on the carnivore diet will disagree lol.
@@sylviarobles159 magnesium glycinate per NIH scientist..Also can look up per Google search
Magnesium Glycinate gave me severe anxiety.
which magnesium do YOU take ❔💭🤍
My lack of magnesium caused me to have two heart attacks. My veins were collapsing.
Oh Dr Gundry - You are my most favorite person in the world for people i don't actually know. LOL. You helped my life so much and your a class A act. This video you just did was amazing !!!
Very interesting. After listening to your explanations on different shapes of poops and what the problem could be I realise that I need to change my diet , drink water , lack of magnesium. Thanks Dr Gundry.
This is a fanatic pod cast .
Dr Gundry says that a coiled snake looking at you in the toilet bowl is a healthy poop. That is great to hear and I see them very often. Oh what a relief it is.
😂😆
I’ve had soft stool for over two years. To the point that when it comes out solid I get so happy and excited. I go through a roll of toilet paper every day by myself it comes out like peanut butter. It takes a while for that feeling of emptiness to come. I find myself shoving wads of toilet paper up in there to get the rest of it out. I’ve had a colonoscopy, and they found nothing other than hemorrhoids.
I’ve done super healthy, eating and exercising and it changed nothing. I take fiber every day I even cut all dairy out for a while to see if it would help. I wish I could go to the bathroom and have one easy bowel movement so that I’m not sitting there for a half an hour, digging out my ass with toilet paper.
I always had constipation since I could remember, I hydrate myself, taking yoghurt or probiotics, eat fruit and veggies, still my poop is very hard
I could go 6 days without pooping
Marbles poop is my everyday misery
I push so hard until my eyes feel so starry
Even when kid, my mom had to scoop my poop inside my butthole
But some days when I’m happy, do much activity, my poop passes really smoothly and no effort!
Guess when I stressed my poop became very hard
No matter what I eat, when I’m happy and not stress, going to bathroom is easy peasy !
When I took my husband off drinking milk…he stopped being constipated !
Great video. It would be nice to include images to get an idea of the stools.
Hello Dr. Gundry,
Thank you! 💗
I had diarrhea for over a decade. 3X gastro people gave be cholestyramine. It helped with the bile movements but never solved the problem. On my last colonoscopy my doctor on a hunch took two biopsy's of my large intestine and found micro-colitis. (As a mere mortal, I don't know what that is, but I had it,) After taking 3 capsules of 3MG budesonide treatment daily, I finally pooped normal after many years of the bile squirts. I hope it stays that way. I have an appointment in two weeks.
Thank you Dr. Amazing informations....at last for me who I got 5 colonoscopies since 2018 and the last one two weeks ago.....but since that everytime I go to the toilet the blood is coming out...I'm even scared to look inside the toilet...tomorrow I'll see a doctor :( GOD BLESS YOU FOR INFORMING US learning how to keep ourselves healthy ! AMEN
I'm sorry about that I hope you went to the doctor
What did the doc say ?
Nothing.......or ohh is because of hemorrhoids. But I don't trust them.
OMG 😱 what did your doctor SAY 💭 what’s your update if YOU don’t mind ME asking 👈🏻 I’m SO SORRY you’re going through this 👈🏻🤍 is getting a colonoscopy scary 👈🏻❔💭 did YOU also get endoscopy too 👈🏻 hope 🤞🏻🙏🏻 you’re ok 👍🏻🤍
Hi, the colonoscopy is fine and a must since with our lifestyle and expensive life we are forced to eat more junk because it is cheaper, and the cancer rises soo it is better to get checked...well my doctor said I'm good if after colonoscopy they didn't say anything bad, but I'm not satisfied with his answer...why too much blood ? They said because of the hemorrhoids...@@CYndibabI
