Today, we’re going to talk about the early warning signs of appendicitis. 

Do you need the appendix? Isn’t it just an extra organ? Yes, you need your appendix. It actually serves a very important purpose. It’s there to help you replenish the good bacteria you lose when you have a gut infection or diarrhea. 

The early signs of appendicitis: 

• Nausea
• Sudden pain in your lower right abdomen 
• Bowel changes (diarrhea or constipation)
• Pain around the belly butting 
• Low-grade fever

How to help prevent appendicitis:

• Get enough probiotics 
• Get enough fiber (vegetables)
• Cut down your sugar 
• Garlic
• Thyme
• Rosemary 
• Onion 
• Oregano 
• Radish 
• Apple cider vinegar 
• Fasting

Finally someone talk about appendix not as “An unnecessary organ that can be cut out”! Thank you for all your brilliant content doc

First time in all my life has someone (a doctor) understood the purpose of the appendix. Growing up, they never knew what it was for. And now look how important it is 😊 Thanks Doc, great information. I always look forward to your videos. Have a great day. 🌷

I've had appendicitis twice in my life, and I still have my appendix. The pain just went away both times at the hospital right before surgery. My parents opted to not go with the surgeries.

Dr. Berg, could you please do a follow-up video with recommendations on what we should do/watch out for if we have had our appendix removed already? Thank you.

I had appendicitis back in November. Pain was more of a cramping sensation. Mine was slightly perforated but they treated it with antibiotics. I began thinking about how prior I was so bloated for months, all summer and autumn. My father mentioned three times to me to stop taking my 100 percent grass fed whey protein powder. First time thought nothing of it. Then, After the appendicitis started, started taking the shakes again and that awful bloating and indigestion came back. Now I have completely removed protein powder from my diet and have incorporated probiotics. Digestions feel back to 75-80 percent again.

I had all of these signs before getting an appendectomy . Wish I would’ve known more about the appendix

Currently having pain that feels like a potential inflamed appendix but I pray that God can heal me in Jesus name. I will also use the information from this presentation to be proactive. I'm scared of surgery

About eight years ago, I had a serious mouth injury (an unfortunate run-in with the handle of a baseball bat), and my upper maxilla was broken, damaging the root of one of my front teeth. It got infected quickly and required a medicated root canal to save the tooth, and just one week later my appendix ruptured (although I went around in pain for a week afterward before the doc figured out what was wrong). Anyway, I always thought that the bacterial load from the infected tooth likely caused the appendicitis, but no doctor agreed with me. But from what Dr. Berg says about bacteria and the gut, I think I might have been right. ;)

Dear Dr. Berg, because I lost my appendix about 3 years ago, I discovered you. I had gone to the doctor at least 3 times for a UTI blood and urine test. The results showed nothing. Wast of time and money, and then blam, appendix attack. After my surgery, I still didn't feel good. I went on youtube to look for answers. Also, before I found you I didn't feel like eating, so for 3 days, I didn't eat. That triggered weight loss and Keto. Saying all this is, it all came down to a sort of blessing in disguise. I am now one of your Keto coaches. Healthy Keto is the way to go. Eat your greens. I now weigh between 92 and 94lbs. I am 5Ft 4"and I am happy and healthy. I have maintained my weight now for almost 3 years.

Thanks for the info.
I laugh at the ‘experts’ who say, “That thing doesn’t server any meaningful purpose anymore, ” when God is the One who put it there.

What’s your advice for those of us for whom it is too late- already been removed?

[dougsyd]

Hospital in Jackson Tn let me wait 13+ hours with ruptured appendix to get surgery last year. By the time they finally operated I was septic. Long recovery.

I’m 48 female and just diagnosed with rare chronic appendicitis - it’s inflamed and dilation increased 20% in 5 weeks according to second CT scan.. Appetite affected and dull pain to right of belly button. Been going on a few months. My White Blood Cell count elevated slightly for 2 months as well. Surgery recommended if it worsens. I will work on it from food and herbs.

[matains]

awesome. i got mine removed when i was 10. kind of explains my health struggles.

[jackiehusack]

Dr. Berg I had mine removed as it burst. I had endometriosis and it was stuck to my intestines. It burst in my back. Doctors couldn’t find it until I went into surgery. 6hours I was in surgery. I have never felt the same, years of intestinal issues, urinary ect. 2 yes ago diagnosed with hashimoto’s. My naturopath has put me on all the vitamins you have recommended. Still not feeling great, even cutting out certain foods. Just learned today I have no good gut bacteria in either stomach or intestines. Now on high doses of acidophilus for 3 months. Hopefully this will help. I know since I lost my appendix my issues started, even with my thyroid
