In this video, Dr. Berg talks about what would happen if you have gas on a ketogenic plan. Colon cells have these roots that absorb the nutrients passing through the intestines. This is why if you have preexisting problems with your colon cells, it wouldn’t absorb nutrients and it would prevent the combination of certain enzymes in food particles to break down and being absorbed into the cell and end up having the undigested food particles in the intestines. The undigested food would either rot or ferment. He also tackles the sources of overgrowth of the bacteria problem.

Overgrowth of Bacteria (Fermentation Problem):
• Problems with Carbon Dioxide Gas
• Hydrogen Gas
• Methane Gas

Sources of This Problem:
• Antibiotics – Destroy some of the microbes and cause the body to make more of the unfriendly.
• Antacids –When you lose the acidity of the stomach and as you age, you lose the stomach acids.
• Junk Food
• Stomach
• Small Intestines

Recommendation:
1. Adjust the type of fiber to consume.
2. Adjust the quantity of fiber – Start with small and gradually increase over time.

I used to be bloated all the time, and certain foods like broccoli and cabbage gave me really painful gas, but since going keto I eat bucket loads of veggies and am never bloated or gassy. Must have been the combination of vegetables with grains that caused it.

I love the fact that you give us all the details and bring up the biology too. Really a person can learn a lot by watching your videos, and it doesn't cost a thing to watch them. I really appreciate your willingness to share this information.

I'm a 74 y old woman and have all these symptom, adding a hiatus hernia. Had surgery about 30 y ago, preventing me to vomit and no heartburn. Now, I'm suffering the same all over again. Doctors said they will not "touch me". I eat a very balanced diet, no gluten, and exercise in our retirement gym, & play bowls once a week and linedancing. Every night I drink a smaak glass of Bicarbonate of Soda. It helps, but does not cure the problem. Hope I can find bile product here in South Africa.

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts and avocado is my culprits but they're my favorite foods 😬😬

I get the gas if I go off Keto. Keto actually takes it all away!

[annietoday]

The source of the problem is vegetables....you need to look at this from a different perspective carnivore for a while will help the gut rebalance itself quickly.

I like keto because it works. But maaan.... either I don’t poop for a day or 2 OR I’ll be somewhere where I can’t go to a bathroom and have to poop NOW. I absolutely hate it.

Thank you Dr. Berg for sharing and simplifying all you have learned.

[Happytriggertime]

Substitute sugars cause LOTS of gas also

[barryfennell]

Sugar Alcohols will definitely make you gassy.

Dr Berg, your link for your recipe for the homemade yogurt is not coming up. Can you please send me the link? Thank you 🙏🏻 if you click on it, you’ll see it says, error not found.

He just said the colon cells have villi, which they don't. That would be the small intestines where solid mineral absorption occurs. As a Doctor, how can you get this stuff wrong?

[lonnisplace]

I started keto six days ago and am super gassy. I'm constipated and burp. Every time I go to class, my stomach makes noises and I have to fart... But when I go to the toilet, only a little comes out or none at all but I can feel it in my tummy.

I used to do raw sheep milk yogurt. I made it in my food dehydrator. But I have been off dairy since starting keto because it effects my weight loss.

[jabencarter]

I’ve actually noticed I don’t have gas when I’m on keto!

[lynpromDi]

1month on keto now, ever since I don't have ptobl3m on gas only problem in my 1st week was constipation but for now everything is perfect.

Methane is an odorless gas. Check Wikipedia, or a chemistry book. The odor of intestinal gas comes from H2S.

[doggysoul]

Isn’t it ironic how I don’t have bad habits I’ve exercised most of my life and am sick yet my boyfriend who drinks beer loads coffee and a bunch of other bad habits like soda is healthier than I am... while here I am who only drinks water 😒

[whlers]

[kimking]
