When your diet is filled with processed foods and lacking essential nutrients, it can lead to constipation.

The most common type of constipation is primary constipation, in which constipation is the primary issue rather than being caused by a tumor or obstruction. The first line of treatment for constipation like this is often a petroleum-based medication called polyethylene glycol, but it can cause other problems.

Microbes are vital in breaking down fiber and supporting healthy digestion. When our diet lacks these beneficial microbes, it can lead to problems such as bloating, cramping, and constipation.

The first step is to practice intermittent fasting by eating only two meals daily with no snacks. This gives the digestive system a chance to rest and catch up.

The second step is fixing your diet by simplifying meals and avoiding processed and refined foods. This also includes incorporating grass-fed meat, fermented foods, including sauerkraut, to provide beneficial microbes for a healthy gut. Following a Healthy Keto® diet is also beneficial.

The third step is supplementing with betaine hydrochloride to increase stomach acid and improve digestion. This can also help alleviate constipation by lubricating the colon with bile.

In addition to these steps, consuming plants raised on healthy soils can provide essential nutrients and beneficial microbes for a healthy gut. Magnesium and vitamin B1 can help promote regular bowel movements. Castor oil and senna are also good natural remedies for constipation.

My whold life I suffered with constipation. In 2009 I completely changed lifestyle to a whole foods low-fat diet, plenty of exercise and vegetables. My constipation worsened. I went through years of pain in my digestive tract, trying everything. Until I cut vegetables out and went on a high fat carnivore diet and prolonged fasting. It healed my gut quickly and I have never felt better! No more gut pain or constipation- unless I add in too many veggies or seasonings. For me, high fat carnivore and fasting keeps me feeling light and energetic!!

Eating more veggies really helped me with constipation

[pamelahooper]

Dr Dr B. You are the ONLY person who says that eating veggies may not be the best thing - Thank you. The more veggies I eat the worse it gets (and I love my veggies a lot) - I don't even mention it to my GP as I know they wouldn't believe me. In fact, the less veggies I eat the better it gets. Thank you for your informations and intelligence and for passing this information to us.

The most critical factor for a flawless defecation on a regular basis is high quality deep Sleep. That is when peristalsis is flawless and your para sympathetic nervous system at its best in modulating MMC - migrating motor complex.
Some of the stuff I've discovered that helps immensely.

1. Electrolytes and Hydration - potassium (critical), magnesium (important), salt (important), water intake (important, ).

2. Amino acids - L-tryptophan (serotonin is critical for bowel motility), Glycine, Taurine (for bile, bile is critical for fecal volume, color, detoxification, and motility).

3. Methylation - B vitamins esp B6, folate, B12 and B3 influence bile output, detox pathways, bowel motility patterns.

4. Prebiotic fiber and polyphenols - help synthesise SCFA's that directly promote integrity of large bowel lining and act as fuel source- you could consider entric coated butyrate also.

5. Physical activity - critical to support blood circulation to your entire gut - Brisk walking, keggel, and stretching ezcersises of pelvic and abdominal reigion.

6. Finally Deep therapeutic Sleep - Avoid light at night, ++ potassium, magnesium, glycine, tryptophan, theanine, myo-inositol, folate.

I was eating a lot of salad and wound up with really intensive constipation. For several months! I have since gone on the Carnivore diet and things are way better. At 84 years of age I don’t expect things to work perfect, but for me, veggies are a no-no!

[JohnQPublic]

after I cut out all grains, nuts, seeds, oats, vegetables, and increased animal protein & i have zero potty- issues

A large glass of water followed by a large cup of black coffee also helps.

bodies are specific. i was battling constipation all my life, severe constipation last 4 years (bowel movement 1 a week or less).. started eating more meat (not keto), low-carbohydrate diet, gluten free, soy free, dairy free (replacing all wheat, soy, oats, corn with legumes and nuts). Only quinoa once a week. If i eat pasta I eat lentil or bean pasta only. I eat low carbohydrate/keto bread. for me the difference is soluble and insoluble fiber.. beans made me poop finally.. i eat lots of veggies (cooked mostly, little amounts of salad - but that is all insoluble fiber). i take magnesium citrate one every 2 days. also drink 2 liters of water. and somehow it started to work. i was bloated at first from beans..but much much less when i do not eat other carbs with them like i used too. so beans, cooked veggies and meat. and nuts. my texture and frequency changed to normal. i still see difference within my menstrual cycle as i suspect that my digestion fluctuates with my hormones..and since i am pre-menopause and hashimoto my hormones are a mess... working on it... at least i am pooping regularly which helps with estrogen excess.. (i have fibroids too)...ah it never ends.. but beans and legumes and nuts seem to be working for me. and low carb. and walking and moving every day without exception.

Sena leaf is one remedy in Ayurveda for constipation. There are 127 such remedies in Ayurvedic medicine. I am an Indian and after watching your videos I realised how important liver is for our over all health. After that I care only about what I eat and intermittent fasting. Now I am totally on Ayurvedic Remedies (100% herbal).
Thank You 🙏🙏🙏for your generous advice and videos, you are doing a great job for free that most of the doctors don't do, even after charging a lot.

I've always had constipation, but lately I've been regular. I think with me it's the seed oils. I make my own dressings and mayo now for salads. I also been eating full fat plain skyr. I add maybe a tablespoon of chia seed, a few walnuts, and some berries. Also added a supplement, Magnesium Glycinate. I feel so much better in my digestion.

[judyfreeman]

I had the same result from the vegan diet. I can't believe how long I continued believing it would work when it WASN'T WORKING AND NEVER WAS GOING TO WORK. Thanks for letting me vent.

[patbowers]

A nurse told me to gently massage my intestinal area and it helps too!

I'm told I have Parkinson's, and for over a year I have had constipation. Two scans showed no blockage just constipation. However, two ERs and one GI doctor told me there was nothing they could or wouldn't help me. My view on this Medicare is rationing care. I over time have tried several over-the-counter meds and suggestions from other sufferers, and nothing. I do walk a mile daily. This condition became worse and I went hardcore and now drink two liters of room-temperature water over the day. After five I drink a laxative called Magnesium Citrate, sometime later I start purging watery stool four or five times. I do this every third day and I'm eating a lot less. The bad part I have to structure the day around this method. The good I have lost eight pounds over several weeks. After researching Parkinson's I discovered it affects the "autonomic system". It's in the brain and it is what makes the heartbeat your breathing and of course BMs without you having to think about it. Any readers of my post research drinking large amounts of water. It can be toxic to your kidneys.

One spoon of Olive oil in the morning Prevent constipation

[donovanweaver]

Going for a colonoscopy tomorrow. Scared but the bloating never stops. Dr. Berg is always reading my mind.❤

I use that powder “CALM” at night before bed. It has magnesium in it.
