I am perimenopausal and the imbalance in my hormones has caused gut dysbiosis resulting in food intolerances, digestive problems such as diarrhoea, chronic constipation, gas and bloating. Taking lactose free dairy problems has helped with the gas and bloating, but my constipation was only resolved when I followed Dr. B's advice (given in another podcast) and started to take magnesium oxide supplements. Now that I have regular bowel movements I have been able to ramp up the fibre and also reintroduce many foods into my diet. I love that man :)
I dealt with daily abdominal bloating which got worse later in the day-turned out I had multiple ovarian tumors which led to major emergency surgery. My advice is get an abdominal CT scan so you can rule out swelling due to other more serious issues.

My bloating is mainly caused by bread and cooked green vegetables rather than lactose. I've had to decide what is best for me and if bloating isn't actually causing me physical harm then I will put up with that in order to enjoy the same healthy nutritional food I have always loved.
Excess of burping is my problem and I don’t even swallow air. There is a kind of fermentation in my stomach that generates that gas, and consequently, non-stop burping.

Regular bowel movements , but still bloated everyday . Don’t eat any of the foods you mentioned that could cause gas . Also take Bio Live for my gut first thing every morning . Personally in my case think it’s histamine intolerance, fermented foods a no no , can be so limiting 🥺
I'm 62yrs. and a twin. Both my sister and I have suffered with diarrhea, constipation or incomplete evacuation for many years. After trying many different diets and testing positive for lactose intolerance, a gynecologist said that my present problems were due to a fibroid which cannot be removed !! I have since accepted this and I make sure I eat a variety of foods, with soft veg. like spinach and courgettes with every meal. This helps. I'm also wondering if there are others who are twins and suffer with their digestion since childhood.
Fibroids can be removed but they generally don’t do it because they typically grow back. I’d schedule a CT (if you fake appendix pain they will do one for you quickly). When I had my scan they discovered very large ovarian growths and that was the cause of all my issues. They also removed a huge fibroid as well so it didn’t interfere with future scans…my advice is go find out what is happening. It saved me.
Sorry but why do you mention your twin? Did she get the same diagnosis? A different one? No diagnosis? Are you implying it was the wrong diagnosis but the treatment worked? Did she try it too? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I was told my large fibroid couldn't be removed because it was between the outer and inner layers of my womb. I was offered an ablation of the womb. Afterwards the fibroid was gone. It might be worth asking about an ablation. I was told, at the time, that they basically microwave the inside of the womb. I personally, haven't noticed any decrease in bloating, wind or diarrhoea since having the ablation 16 years ago.
We (me and wife) started with lactose free milk about four months ago and it has made a real difference. We are in our mid/late 60s and have eaten dairy produce all our lives and the decision to start using lactose free milk was an experiment as much as anything...precisely as an attempt to deal with my gas and bloating. We have now extended to lactose free spread (butter) and lactose free soft cheese spread. My wife had already gone gluten free some years ago, but I have not taken that step.
I admit I have a (diet) soda addiction. One glass rarely causes problems but when it does, it feels my stomach is going to burst. I also wonder, is it possible to be constipated even if you don't FEEL constipated? I sometimes feel I have a slow moving gut as far as gas goes, but in that time I'm passing stool at LEAST once per day.
I have bloating and gas because I have IBS It is very painful 😣 I changed my diet started to drink hot water with lemon 🍋 in the morning before breakfast 🌄 and it help when you have a bad stomach it clear the air pocket that build up in the bowels . That's what helps me . Everyone is different it's finding out works for you.
I get very painful splenic flexure syndrome from gas/bloating, keeps me awake often. thanks for the series to help me rebuild to manage good foods better, recently changed to WFPB, so FODMAP heavy would be the order of the day. I truly appreciate this guidance Erythritol causes serious issues for me when trying to use stevia or monk fruit to sweeten I have to find some without!
Hate it when people post free content. Also, my attention span is so miniscule I can't sit through 13 minutes without being distracted by some fluff on my carpet.😂
I cut out wheat/gluten 100 percent! and I'm eating vegetables and meat at the moment (No dairy for me) my gas and bloating went from bad to normal in just a matter of days. I've been eating this way for close to a month now and the difference is night and day for me, even though I eat vegetables most meals including cabbage and sprouts.
I cured my constipation by repopulating my gut microbiome. That was the fix. Exercise helps me too especially movements that exercise the torso. Jogging is incredibly effective but top quality running shoes that fit are essential to protect the knees. Also working up to getting distance and speed needs to be slow. Jogging round the house for a few weeks first for instance then going for short easy jogs is what I do. Good to see tips about swallowed air and food though. It all helps. I avoid Lactose, Gluten, Alcohol, Caffeine and Nitrites(not nitrates) I also avoid foods high in vitamin K like brassicas such as broccoli and kale. I eat a very varied diet including fish, meat, veg, salad, blanched hazel nuts, fruit etc.
@@stellaadler120 Yes but it depends what you eat. Fruit, Sugar and carbs all ferment in the gut and produce gas. But incredible improvement. Back to normal. And any gas not so whiffy.
I deal with IBS and colostomy. Fiber definitely makes it worse for me. Have changed my diet immensely and it's better but still a challenge. Would love to know what pre and probiotics it would thrive on.
I would recommend the 'fiber fueled cookbook'. It is written precisely for your situation: more fiber is necessary as your pre-biotics - but for you, you're going to have to introduce them slowly.
,I'm exceptionally healthy for the self-destructive lifestyle I've most recently retired ,I've been non cardiac arrest ,non obesity and many other issues due to an attitude and I suspect divine guidance and now I'm absorbing knowledge if possible
I have bloating, All the time and don't eat artificial sweetners but have always eaten a lot of plant fibre. I really find Will's "start low, go slow" stuck in my head, I am guilty of fast eating and have undiagnosed IBS, so I have taken all your advice on board and will try to incorporate it into my new IF 9-10 hour eating window.
Some pretty good tips. I feel like I’m not too bad on this now. But it’s definitely eye opening as far as all the things I did wrong when I was a bit younger.
One thing not mentioned is the effect of medication. I am on laxatives for life as well as warfarin , statins and beta blockers . Since starting the laxatives I have bad wind problems mainly at night . Peppermint oil tablets seem to help but they are not recommended long term.
This is so interesting because I noticed my stomach changed as soon as I started using sweeteners . I asked a pharmaceutical person if that could be the problem, and he said no....
I think a poor digestive system, especially slow, means you have lots of rotting food in your system leading to gas. Poor posture leads to swallowing too much air
I have a redundant extra long large colon which creates constipation for me. I live in Britain and I was dismissed by a gastroenterologist who didn’t even ask me my symptoms. As I don’t have ulcers or cancer they don’t care. 😢
I too have this, its really nasty and although it was dianosed many years ago with an endoscopy i too have been unable to get any help. I use buscopan to reduce the cramping, its saved my job as otherwise i am in too much pain to remain upright. Its very difficult to remain optomistic, a bad gut is very depressing.
I suffer from excessive gas that doesn't give me bloating as such but goes to press on a nerve on any part of my body and give excessive pain, when I try to relieve the gas, the pain start to go away. I have tried several things like exercises, alkaline food to remove acidity walks, but nothing has stopped it except that the gas shifts from one position it used to press to another position. Once it was my lower right hand side abdomen, then I thought I had appendicitis, but the doctor found out it was Gas, then it changed to my right side shoulder blade, then now on my left side hip. I don't take dairy for the past 15 years or more but still the gas won't abate. I don't experience constipation, our food in Nigeria contains a lot of fibre. So I wonder why I generate so much gas that travel to any part of my body and cause pain.
Sorry trying to drink hot water 1litre early in the morning and 1 litre afternoon before lunch and stay 45 minutes before eating and 1liter bed time for a long period you will see the result
I suffer from extreme bloating. I have no constipation as I go the rest twice per day before showers. I drink 2litres or more water per day. I don’t use sweeteners or sugars I do take milk products every day.
I don't know why it works for me but a glass of warm water with a spoon of cider vinegar and spoon of honey in it first thing in the morning... or another glass( though rarely needed) later in the day keeps my digestion in order.. And a small glass of water 5-6times a day.
Same for too. When I go on vacation, my daily routine and usual eating habits are out of sync and I tend to get a lot of bloating and constipation. I mean, one needs to try all the different food when on vacation right? But one time, I started drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with some water before every meal, and this really helped. I had hardly any bloating. And continuing to take magnesium daily even on vacation helps keep me regular and avoid constipation. I must remember to take apple cider vinegar regularly back home.....now that you mention it. So thanks for that
Why would stopping drinking alcohol, cause severe gas/bloating, & almost consistent loose stools/diahrea?? I eat a well balanced diet, and only have milk on my cereal in the morning. Any suggestions, or explanations??
Never eat artificial sweeteners because I’ve never liked the flavor of sugar either. No processed food at all. Only fermented dairy. Plenty of fruits, vegetables, water, whole grains, legumes daily. Still have bloating and gas…..😢
Most fruit, veg bloats me. Keto no bloating. However occasionally I just want a prune or a date, or share a sandwich with my wife. I can do it once a week but that's it..
My bloating came with the menopause I think it has something to do with estrogen and progesterone ir is so annoying. Would ye have any answer to this bloating problem.
I think I might have SIBO (yeast/Candida and/or bacteria +/- archae) but I'm not so sure I do well with fermented dairy products and I might even do better with non-fermented dairy.
Roast potatoes lead to bowel gas within 20 minutes with me, Not french fries, Fish-shop chips or other potato preparations. The stomach contents will not have travelled far in that time, so some messenger molecule in the upper digestive tract must be passing on a signal to produce lower bowel gas. It may be some form of epoxidized fat on the crispy part of the potato.
My very best friend has an enormous problem he loves spicy food and is a garlic glutton not to mention he drinks too much beer and wine . He is approaching 60 and I swear that when he passes wind it can besides almost knock you out I would say it’s flammable, he takes great pride in his ability to watch people cover their noses or visibly hold their breath in an elevator. I’m seriously considering an text relationship only as my wife says he has turned our couch cushions green and doesn’t want him in the house. What can I suggest without hurting his feelings ?
At 60 he should know how unpleasant it is for other people, he is selfish since he is doing it deliberately there is no point in sugar coating tell him how disgusting his behavior is and if he gets upset leave him alone why do you to baby sit an adult
Fiber 🤦🏻♀️ I have more problems with fiber, pains, bloating ,gas. Increasing Magnesium & Healthy animal Fats👍🏻 No Bloating, No Pain& No Gas. I keep fiber at a minimum small amounts & maybe 2xs a month
I am having gas , bloating and feeling full most of the time. In my upper restpertory track I cannot pass the gas belch and have difficulty with this it feels very uncomfortably. Sometime I am gasping to breathe and I am now starting to feel nauseated. I have no gallbladder and a complete hysterectomy. What can I do to heal from this? My mouth especially my tongue feels dry as well.
I have the exact same issues. Unfortunately; not solved yet. I was diagnosed with gastritis months ago and also GERD. I also found out I have parasites as I saw them in my stool. You could also have parasites.
I've been bloated constant for 3 months now. Can't release the wind either. Abdominal pain and got in and outer piles too . Feel full after a tiny meal too. Any advice
I have chronic constipation severe bloating for years partial small bowel obstructions (3 sbo surgeries + multiple abdominal surgeries) adhesions for over 35yrs so fiber (juice more than eat raw vegetables) is an issue long term use opioids use no no dairy mostly plant based take pre and probiotic no straws no carbonated beverages every time eat drink even water some days leaky gut nothing really helps except not eating 🥲61 yr old female any hope?
I find that digestive enzymes taken before eating make huge changes in a number of causative factors such as constipation or reactions to foods that are high in inulin for example. This includes difficulty in digesting raw foods/cellulose.
All true but gut bacteria can play a huge role. So focus on the bacteria too get a huge diversity. Make your own Kefir from Kefir grains. Helped me and friends and family.
I constipation my whole life. I'm 68 and have diagnosed with cologamus colideus. I have liquid bowel movements with lots of bloating and gas, what can I do to help this situation? I have been taken off steroids but it still occurred.
Im a mouth breather and I have terrible gas. I'm always belching and burping. Without any research I figured that the mouth breathing was the cause. When I started telling others, they literally laughed at me.
What do you think aboit zeolithe powder to bind gas etc or histamine. Could that be beneficial to the gut or rather dangerous to use long time because it could lead to constipation?
Everything he's saying is right ..constipation is big cupid ..dried punes over night in water has been answer for me..apples without skin ..so simple no starches ..at all other than sweet potatoe
If it is swallowed air, how come it comes out for me, up to 18 hours later... belching. It does NOT go out the other end. There is no way in hell that it is air that I have swallowed due to the vast amount of gas I burped for hours on end (but always many hours after my last meal) and the fact that it comes out so many hours later instead of within an hour of eating each meal.... something doesn't add up here.
If you eat a animal-based diet with little to no fruits and vegetables, you will experience no bloating or abdominal discomfort, because animal foods digest wholly and completely. It is the plants and more specifically the plant fiber that causes bloating, as plant foods need to ferment in the gut before they can be evacuated from the body. The fermentation process of plants is very taxing on gut health and is the root cause for leaky gut and other ailments in the gut wall.
If we eat plain yogurt is that also not good. My mother is a diabetic, what can she use in her tee. My daughter has also a problem with her tummy, the constipation sometimes and sometimes it's to soft like water. If she eats breads or pastas. Please help.
I had some bad bloating and I remembered I had effervescente, Italian alka seltzer, dropped a few granules in some water really helped. BTW, these guys are wearing the exact same glasses it seems. weird
It doesn't matter what or how much I eat, I get severely bloated and I do have constipation. It all started in 2019 when I was in full menopause and that's when my blood pressure went up. Honestly, it's an absolutely awful feeling. I know I have to get my bowels moving in order to get the bloat gone but they won't move. Sometimes I have to take laxatives and of course, I'm happy as can be afterwards just to know the bloat is gone...but it always comes back in a few days. So WHAT do I need to do for constipation??!!! PROBIOTICS?? I feel like I need to have a CT scan to see what's going on in my abdominal region and if they don't see any problems then I can approach it another way. Went to a Gastroenterologist and she recommended Pepcid AC and keeping a food diary 😂 and if these things don't work, then we need to look at having an endoscopy, which I feel is very invasive.
This video isn't very helpful is it. The guest says I help the patients establish a routine first, but the stupid questioner doesn't ask him how he helps people do that! He just says "got it" and doesn't follow up with "how?" 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ The *one* useful thing he could have said!
My Dr wanted me to do Cat scan and I refused because I didn’t want the dyes and poisons going into my veins and body so I said I’d do Ultrasound first! That worked ! I found out I had NAFLD! So now I’m trying to reverse that with my diet…
i dont feel any pain but feel little bit of burnt in stomach and bloating sometimes stomach full.this symtoms moslty occur while laying in bed (sleeping) anyone have same issue ?and how you treated it ?
I have horrible reflux into my mouth. Nothing has helped me :( when I take esomeprazole I just get non acidic reflux it's horrible. But I also have alot of gas and bloating which probably doesn't help.
People with Acid Reflux don't actually have Reflux in the mouth, that's something different. Acid Reflux makes your stomach feel like cramping and is seriously painful. Im not sure what's happening with you but don't take medication for Acid Reflux when you don't have it.
I had worms that really messed up my intestines a couple of days ago. I had blood in my stool and had to take a poo every 5-20 minutes for the better part of two days. I couldn’t eat or sleep because of this. Well that hell finally ended but a new problem arose. My intestines are getting filled with gas and I can hardly let it out. There is so much pressure at times It feels like they will pop. Because of this I still have to get on the toiled but only every 30 min to an hour. I can’t sleep because of this. I haven’t had a good nights rest in more than 3 days. I’m never eating medium rare steak again.
Dr. Bullies ice I have to tell you that not all people suffer from constipation, when they have gas and bloating. I get terrible sick, when I eat Airline Food, when traveling. I have to take my own food, otherwise I have intestinal distress, gas , bloating and during the flight I spent much time in the toilet. I do not have constipation at all. It is the food!!!!
I'm currently trying 2 weeks without dairy. I make my own yoghurt, so can you guarantee that it won't cause lactose intolerance symptoms? I'm on the verge of chucking out my current batch 😔
I suffered from IBS for 25 years, with all the bloating, pain, irregularity, etc. etc. Based on a scientific paper I found I decided to try a zero fiber diet (ketovore). Voilà: all problems gone in a few weeks, exactly as the study results indicated. Humans have a zero requirement for fiber.
The gut bacteria love it though. But we all have a different mix of them. So what works for one person won't work as well for someone else. That's what I'm learning through Zoe. There really isn't a one size fits all
Same here so annoying. Love hot cereals oats etc no help. Can eat lot fruit 3 x day and do plus veggies. No help. More water, no help. Walking helps a little. Not much else. My whole life. 😒
Have you tried more meat Lesley? I've read alot of commenters on some carnivore channels in the past year or two and many commenters have said that going to the toilet has become a lot easier. I'm not a carnivore dieter by any means but I have noticed that when I up my beef intake I am able to poo more easily i.e I have a tendency to be a bit constipated over the past year or two in general. Not saying it will work for you for sure but it may be worth trying. Ps: Meat more on the fatty side is what carnivore dieters tend to eat.
My personal experience to improve all intestine problems is to drink plenty of water and exercise.
I find drinking 10 glasses of water per day is helpful.
What cured my constipation was making sure I eat 3 cups of vegetables a day and cut back on coffee and rarely drink sodas.I cut out sweeteners. This has all helped so much. I drink lots of water as well.
Do u still eat honey?
@@allergictohumansnotanimals5671honeys good but not to much hop this helps 😊
I don't find caffeine an issue but cutting out sweetners helped mine!
the worst sweeteners are ones w/ sugar alcohols.

I admit I have a (diet) soda addiction. One glass rarely causes problems but when it does, it feels my stomach is going to burst. I also wonder, is it possible to be constipated even if you don't FEEL constipated? I sometimes feel I have a slow moving gut as far as gas goes, but in that time I'm passing stool at LEAST once per day.
Since I started a well formulated ketogenic diet; no bloating, no constipation, very little gas
Can you recommend anyone's TH-cam channel for keto advice?
@@ellie698 I got my start from the Diet Doctor website
I have bloating and gas because I have IBS It is very painful 😣 I changed my diet started to drink hot water with lemon 🍋 in the morning before breakfast 🌄 and it help when you have a bad stomach it clear the air pocket that build up in the bowels . That's what helps me . Everyone is different it's finding out works for you.
Ann Darling I relate. It’s very debilitating the pain and bloating 😢..
I get very painful splenic flexure syndrome from gas/bloating, keeps me awake often. thanks for the series to help me rebuild to manage good foods better, recently changed to WFPB, so FODMAP heavy would be the order of the day. I truly appreciate this guidance Erythritol causes serious issues for me when trying to use stevia or monk fruit to sweeten I have to find some without!
I am interested in the subject matter. But they are so long winded in getting to the point. I just get fed up listening to the the blah blah blah.
So true to much blah blah instead of getting to point straight up .
I'm with you both, Just get to the point for goodness sake

Hate it when people post free content. Also, my attention span is so miniscule I can't sit through 13 minutes without being distracted by some fluff on my carpet.😂
I play it on 1.25 speed
I cut out wheat/gluten 100 percent! and I'm eating vegetables and meat at the moment (No dairy for me) my gas and bloating went from bad to normal in just a matter of days. I've been eating this way for close to a month now and the difference is night and day for me, even though I eat vegetables most meals including cabbage and sprouts.
vegetables cause gas and bloating for me. Eating bread is the only thing that stops it
I cured my constipation by repopulating my gut microbiome. That was the fix. Exercise helps me too especially movements that exercise the torso. Jogging is incredibly effective but top quality running shoes that fit are essential to protect the knees. Also working up to getting distance and speed needs to be slow.
Jogging round the house for a few weeks first for instance then going for short easy jogs is what I do. Good to see tips about swallowed air and food though. It all helps. I avoid Lactose, Gluten, Alcohol, Caffeine and Nitrites(not nitrates) I also avoid foods high in vitamin K like brassicas such as broccoli and kale. I eat a very varied diet including fish, meat, veg, salad, blanched hazel nuts, fruit etc.
Did your gas go away?
@@stellaadler120 Yes but it depends what you eat. Fruit, Sugar and carbs all ferment in the gut and produce gas. But incredible improvement. Back to normal. And any gas not so whiffy.

I get bloated when I get upset and stressed. It usually happens after I calm down
Thats me. My job is killin me. Stuck in one spot for 12 hrs. The sound of the heart alarms makes a giant painful gas ball in my stomach.
I deal with IBS and colostomy. Fiber definitely makes it worse for me. Have changed my diet immensely and it's better but still a challenge. Would love to know what pre and probiotics it would thrive on.
Yes
I would recommend the 'fiber fueled cookbook'. It is written precisely for your situation: more fiber is necessary as your pre-biotics - but for you, you're going to have to introduce them slowly.
Sylllium Husk is aSollition for gut issue and Triphala
,I'm exceptionally healthy for the self-destructive lifestyle I've most recently retired ,I've been non cardiac arrest ,non obesity and many other issues due to an attitude and I suspect divine guidance and now I'm absorbing knowledge if possible
I've been following Zoe for 5 months now, I like what I eat but I have more and worse gas than I ever had previously
It happens as we get older. It's a good idea to cut out foods one at a time to see which ones seem to cause the most trouble.
I have bloating, All the time and don't eat artificial sweetners but have always eaten a lot of plant fibre. I really find Will's "start low, go slow" stuck in my head, I am guilty of fast eating and have undiagnosed IBS, so I have taken all your advice on board and will try to incorporate it into my new IF 9-10 hour eating window.
Hello beautiful how are you doing and how is the family 👪 doing then
😊🎉😂🎉
Has the bloating gotten better and do you take mesalazine as well.
Some pretty good tips. I feel like I’m not too bad on this now. But it’s definitely eye opening as far as all the things I did wrong when I was a bit younger.
One thing not mentioned is the effect of medication. I am on laxatives for life as well as warfarin , statins and beta blockers . Since starting the laxatives I have bad wind problems mainly at night . Peppermint oil tablets seem to help but they are not recommended long term.
Try taking magnesium. Works for me everytime I'm constipated, achy, sleepless..
Me to
This is so interesting because I noticed my stomach changed as soon as I started using sweeteners . I asked a pharmaceutical person if that could be the problem, and he said no....
So those bloat you, right?
What about honey? Do that bloat you? Or one or two dates?
Thanks
Thanks so much my kids will feel better now from bloating stomach. Good information 👍
I think a poor digestive system, especially slow, means you have lots of rotting food in your system leading to gas. Poor posture leads to swallowing too much air
I have a redundant extra long large colon which creates constipation for me. I live in Britain and I was dismissed by a gastroenterologist who didn’t even ask me my symptoms. As I don’t have ulcers or cancer they don’t care. 😢
I too have this, its really nasty and although it was dianosed many years ago with an endoscopy i too have been unable to get any help. I use buscopan to reduce the cramping, its saved my job as otherwise i am in too much pain to remain upright. Its very difficult to remain optomistic, a bad gut is very depressing.
Same in Australia. I live in agony.
Doctors just tell you to drink more water. I can’t because of major bloating and pain.
I suffer from excessive gas that doesn't give me bloating as such but goes to press on a nerve on any part of my body and give excessive pain, when I try to relieve the gas, the pain start to go away. I have tried several things like exercises, alkaline food to remove acidity walks, but nothing has stopped it except that the gas shifts from one position it used to press to another position. Once it was my lower right hand side abdomen, then I thought I had appendicitis, but the doctor found out it was Gas, then it changed to my right side shoulder blade, then now on my left side hip. I don't take dairy for the past 15 years or more but still the gas won't abate. I don't experience constipation, our food in Nigeria contains a lot of fibre. So I wonder why I generate so much gas that travel to any part of my body and cause pain.
Do you drink a lot of water
Same with me. I expirience that now
@@jeanbartrum2773 yes I do
Sorry trying to drink hot water 1litre early in the morning and 1 litre afternoon before lunch and stay 45 minutes before eating and 1liter bed time for a long period you will see the result
Check yourself for SIBO, candida overgrowth and parasites👍🏼
Thanks for that educative conversation. I experience gas movement in my stomach particularly at night.
Some to me
The feeling is so uncomfortable...what do you do about it?
I suffer from extreme bloating. I have no constipation as I go the rest twice per day before showers. I drink 2litres or more water per day. I don’t use sweeteners or sugars
I do take milk products every day.
You have a silent contipation. You are just not aware of it. You can have perfectly normal bowel movements and still be constipated.
I find taking psyllium 3 times a day improves my digestion though it does increase the bloating. thanks for the video!
I don't know why it works for me but a glass of warm water with a spoon of cider vinegar and spoon of honey in it first thing in the morning... or another glass( though rarely needed) later in the day keeps my digestion in order.. And a small glass of water 5-6times a day.
Great advice thank you 🙏
Same for too. When I go on vacation, my daily routine and usual eating habits are out of sync and I tend to get a lot of bloating and constipation. I mean, one needs to try all the different food when on vacation right? But one time, I started drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with some water before every meal, and this really helped. I had hardly any bloating. And continuing to take magnesium daily even on vacation helps keep me regular and avoid constipation.
I must remember to take apple cider vinegar regularly back home.....now that you mention it. So thanks for that
How long does it take ones body to adjust to a new diet?
These guys could be brothers.
Why would stopping drinking alcohol, cause severe gas/bloating, & almost consistent loose stools/diahrea?? I eat a well balanced diet, and only have milk on my cereal in the morning. Any suggestions, or explanations??
How much turmeric, ginger and cinnamon do you add to coffee?
Never eat artificial sweeteners because I’ve never liked the flavor of sugar either. No processed food at all. Only fermented dairy. Plenty of fruits, vegetables, water, whole grains, legumes daily. Still have bloating and gas…..😢
Most fruit, veg bloats me. Keto no bloating. However occasionally I just want a prune or a date, or share a sandwich with my wife. I can do it once a week but that's it..
This subject need much more in depth coverage.
My bloating came with the menopause I think it has something to do with estrogen and progesterone ir is so annoying. Would ye have any answer to this bloating problem.
Try taking bioidentical hormones
I think I might have SIBO (yeast/Candida and/or bacteria +/- archae) but I'm not so sure I do well with fermented dairy products and I might even do better with non-fermented dairy.
This gives me hope that i have gas and bloating, not appendicitis (i feel no pain but have almost similar symptoms to it, without fever,etc)
same
I’ve just started taking statins and am experiencing gas. Should I stop the statins?
Roast potatoes lead to bowel gas within 20 minutes with me, Not french fries, Fish-shop chips or other potato preparations. The stomach contents will not have travelled far in that time, so some messenger molecule in the upper digestive tract must be passing on a signal to produce lower bowel gas. It may be some form of epoxidized fat on the crispy part of the potato.
I have same problem... thanks for the message
My very best friend has an enormous problem he loves spicy food and is a garlic glutton not to mention he drinks too much beer and wine . He is approaching 60 and I swear that when he passes wind it can besides almost knock you out I would say it’s flammable, he takes great pride in his ability to watch people cover their noses or visibly hold their breath in an elevator. I’m seriously considering an text relationship only as my wife says he has turned our couch cushions green and doesn’t want him in the house. What can I suggest without hurting his feelings ?
Tell him the truth. He doesn’t seem to care about anyone else’s feelings.
At 60 he should know how unpleasant it is for other people, he is selfish since he is doing it deliberately there is no point in sugar coating tell him how disgusting his behavior is and if he gets upset leave him alone why do you to baby sit an adult
Give him some charcoal tablets
Just don't invite him round ever again.
He sounds like an a-hole

I am having gas , bloating and feeling full most of the time. In my upper restpertory track I cannot pass the gas belch and have difficulty with this it feels very uncomfortably. Sometime I am gasping to breathe and I am now starting to feel nauseated. I have no gallbladder and a complete hysterectomy. What can I do to heal from this? My mouth especially my tongue feels dry as well.
I have the problems 😢
Simethecone pills help or charcoal pills. Walking helps. But yogurt or oats or fiber no help. Fruit just more gas. Am same boat seems. Bummer😕
You should probably ask the doc about bioidentical estrogen and progesterone.....Not the pharmaceutical hormones!!
Maybe it's acid reflux or gastritis?
I have the exact same issues. Unfortunately; not solved yet. I was diagnosed with gastritis months ago and also GERD. I also found out I have parasites as I saw them in my stool. You could also have parasites.

I find that digestive enzymes taken before eating make huge changes in a number of causative factors such as constipation or reactions to foods that are high in inulin for example. This includes difficulty in digesting raw foods/cellulose.
Like zenpep? I take that but I’ve never tried it before food.
Thank you for this comment.do you know of a digestive enzyme you can plz tell me about.thank you very much
@@sexybsexyb1737 I take zenpep. You can get the same stuff without an RX though. Try umzu floracil 50.

I constipation my whole life. I'm 68 and have diagnosed with cologamus colideus. I have liquid bowel movements with lots of bloating and gas, what can I do to help this situation? I have been taken off steroids but it still occurred.
Can constipation, bloating can cause excessive belching ?
@rzenia2930 How are you doing today ?
Is the natural sweetener, stevia, as bad as artificial ones?
Can trapped wind cause pins and needles in the arms? Thanks.
Im a mouth breather and I have terrible gas. I'm always belching and burping. Without any research I figured that the mouth breathing was the cause. When I started telling others, they literally laughed at me.
Everything I eat or drink cause bloating except eggs, sourdough bread, and applesauce. I look pregnant by the end of the day and am 65.
If I eat my 3 main foods then no problem. Other foods then bloating
I get severe short pains for 24 hrs and think I’ve narrowed it down to under cooked vegetables ..! Is this know issue
Strange that the chemicals used on the plants we eat are prohibited in the EU yet there is no mention of this as a component of GI problems.
What do you think aboit zeolithe powder to bind gas etc or histamine. Could that be beneficial to the gut or rather dangerous to use long time because it could lead to constipation?
Does DR. B still take fiber supplements and if so which ones are recommended?
Everything he's saying is right ..constipation is big cupid ..dried punes over night in water has been answer for me..apples without skin ..so simple no starches ..at all other than sweet potatoe
When i'm constipated i eat ripe papaya and it works for me.
Dragon fruit juice, papaya and cutting down on refined carbs (such as white rice, bread) may help relieve constipation
If it is swallowed air, how come it comes out for me, up to 18 hours later... belching. It does NOT go out the other end. There is no way in hell that it is air that I have swallowed due to the vast amount of gas I burped for hours on end (but always many hours after my last meal) and the fact that it comes out so many hours later instead of within an hour of eating each meal.... something doesn't add up here.
I live in New York.. Is there a date when Zoe will be available in NY
If you eat a animal-based diet with little to no fruits and vegetables, you will experience no bloating or abdominal discomfort, because animal foods digest wholly and completely. It is the plants and more specifically the plant fiber that causes bloating, as plant foods need to ferment in the gut before they can be evacuated from the body. The fermentation process of plants is very taxing on gut health and is the root cause for leaky gut and other ailments in the gut wall.
Thank you! Great information.
I was diagnosed with diverticulitis This interview it’s sumptuous are so similar. What helps??
If we eat plain yogurt is that also not good. My mother is a diabetic, what can she use in her tee. My daughter has also a problem with her tummy, the constipation sometimes and sometimes it's to soft like water. If she eats breads or pastas. Please help.
I had some bad bloating and I remembered I had effervescente, Italian alka seltzer, dropped a few granules in some water really helped. BTW, these guys are wearing the exact same glasses it seems. weird
It doesn't matter what or how much I eat, I get severely bloated and I do have constipation. It all started in 2019 when I was in full menopause and that's when my blood pressure went up. Honestly, it's an absolutely awful feeling. I know I have to get my bowels moving in order to get the bloat gone but they won't move. Sometimes I have to take laxatives and of course, I'm happy as can be afterwards just to know the bloat is gone...but it always comes back in a few days. So WHAT do I need to do for constipation??!!! PROBIOTICS?? I feel like I need to have a CT scan to see what's going on in my abdominal region and if they don't see any problems then I can approach it another way. Went to a Gastroenterologist and she recommended Pepcid AC and keeping a food diary 😂 and if these things don't work, then we need to look at having an endoscopy, which I feel is very invasive.
This video isn't very helpful is it.

I have horrible reflux into my mouth. Nothing has helped me :( when I take esomeprazole I just get non acidic reflux it's horrible. But I also have alot of gas and bloating which probably doesn't help.
Carbohydrates like rice, bread, pasta etc. ferment in your guts and cause bloating. Change over to keto diet and your problems will go away.
People with Acid Reflux don't actually have Reflux in the mouth, that's something different. Acid Reflux makes your stomach feel like cramping and is seriously painful. Im not sure what's happening with you but don't take medication for Acid Reflux when you don't have it.

Thanks so much. I am going lactose free. Very interesting video. 👌
I had worms that really messed up my intestines a couple of days ago. I had blood in my stool and had to take a poo every 5-20 minutes for the better part of two days. I couldn’t eat or sleep because of this. Well that hell finally ended but a new problem arose. My intestines are getting filled with gas and I can hardly let it out. There is so much pressure at times It feels like they will pop. Because of this I still have to get on the toiled but only every 30 min to an hour. I can’t sleep because of this. I haven’t had a good nights rest in more than 3 days. I’m never eating medium rare steak again.

I have to tell you that not all people suffer from constipation, when they have gas and bloating.
I get terrible sick, when I eat Airline Food, when traveling. I have to take my own food, otherwise I have intestinal distress, gas , bloating and during the flight I spent much time in the toilet. I do not have constipation at all.
It is the food!!!!
How should I remove the bowel movement before i take fibre food?
Is hair loss part of this
I'm currently trying 2 weeks without dairy. I make my own yoghurt, so can you guarantee that it won't cause lactose intolerance symptoms? I'm on the verge of chucking out my current batch 😔
Nobody can guarantee you anything. Try two weeks without any dairy. Cut yoghurt too. And see .
Try making coconut yogurt with full fat canned coconut milk.
Drink lemon water before meal, it helps with gas problems

What about high oxalates?? I had a juice one time with spinach and then was in pain
I suffered from IBS for 25 years, with all the bloating, pain, irregularity, etc. etc. Based on a scientific paper I found I decided to try a zero fiber diet (ketovore). Voilà: all problems gone in a few weeks, exactly as the study results indicated. Humans have a zero requirement for fiber.
Óllllpghh
I eat heaps of fibre and don't get gas, especially smelly gas. Any smelly gas is an indication of something not right. Guess whatever works
The gut bacteria love it though.
But we all have a different mix of them. So what works for one person won't work as well for someone else.
That's what I'm learning through Zoe. There really isn't a one size fits all
Correct insulin resistance all problem solved eat when you are hungry walk daily half hour avoid all sugary foods and drinks

Have you tried more meat Lesley? I've read alot of commenters on some carnivore channels in the past year or two and many commenters have said that going to the toilet has become a lot easier. I'm not a carnivore dieter by any means but I have noticed that when I up my beef intake I am able to poo more easily i.e I have a tendency to be a bit constipated over the past year or two in general. Not saying it will work for you for sure but it may be worth trying. Ps: Meat more on the fatty side is what carnivore dieters tend to eat.
