I don’t know how people get constipated eating this way? From the first day in April 2019 to now….nope, it’s like a flush. I do NOT go after fiber or eat anything high in fiber anyways. I usually get only 4 10 grams of fiber a day and am fine. I actually feel my best with little to no fiber, fiber makes me bloated, diarrhea, dehydrated, peeing a lot because of dehydration, drinking a lot because of peeing…up all night peeing. You get the hint. I am finding even avoiding kale makes me feel better all day and night. I’m believing the “fiber myth” is real, as in, it’s just a myth. Our ancestors did not scavenge all day to get 28 grams of fiber a day. Inuit do not get any fiber pretty much.
No way Lady!! I’m so backed up I have grown 3 dress sizes. I’m so backed up that I’m heading for the emergency room!!
Sauerkraut is good. Get the raw kind from a health food store (Mom’s Organic Market, etc) or make your own. If it is in a can or a package from a grocery store, it is pasteurized and the probiotics have been killed.
Hi Paul. Would you consider coming on my channel to talk about fibre please? [email protected] gmail.com
Prunes is a quick fix that works but dry fruits arent keto and the problem long term isn’t addressed but it beats stomach cramps.
Hi! In regards to the minerals and your advice of adding salt to water, ehh does the Na have to come in this form? Could I just add more salt to my foods?
Yes there are studies that prove that people on low-carb high-protein or keto diets actually have more regular bowel movements than any of the other patients that were studied on high-fiber Etc.
I think like most people all are defining is constipation is that with a low-carb diet or keto diet you do not get the overwhelming urge to go. And when you go because you’re eating low fiber or low-residue the volume of the stool is much less as a matter of fact sometimes even coming out like rabbit pellets. On another note you brought out MCT oil I just started taking it yesterday and have suffered the Limited diarrhea and if you happen to be cooking and using coconut oil and you take the MCT just this morning I became rapidly tachycardic beating so fast I can hardly count but it was between 150 and 180 beats a minute. As a tribute to my coronary vasculature I suffered no tightness or pain or anything in my chest and after a few minutes at slow down to about 90. I reviewed what literature I can find on this and evidently this is common with people who are sensitive to MCT and or if you take MCT along with coconut oil it can cause arrhythmias. There is also the chance that I took a little too much because I did not measure I just kind of poured a little bit into my coffee cup. But I think this is a serious warning with regards to the potential side effects. Because if I had had any pre previous arrhythmias or cardiovascular disease it could have been a lot worse.
Constipation is not good. You need soluble fibres. High fibre veggies elevate or cause the problem because they’re insoluble
Carbs go through your system the fastest. So people with high carb diets are going to go more. Also, a lot of people don’t realize that you pee out fat not poop it. So of course on a higher fat diet you’ll poop less.
Too much cheese can constipate some people. I only have it a couple times a week anyway. Pork has always done the same, for me, for whatever reason.
I think we should pay attention to how we feel. If you just haven’t pooped in a couple days, you’re probably fine. If you feel backed up, you might wanna try some natural remedies. Like Metamucil or Seena(if it’s you’re first time using Seena tea. I’d only drink half and save the rest. It can be too powerful for some people.) A lot of other laxatives can cause your body to become dependant on them to go. Making things worse.
Warm lemon water will lower your blood pressure if you already have hypotension.
I love you two! Can you invite my wife and I over for thanksgiving dinner ��
I just take electrolyte supplements and eat an avocado a day while on keto
So, I think ketogenic diet is a winter diet. Harsh winter, the winter where you don’t really sweat. People who live in a warm to hot climates shouldnt really do keto because they will keep loosing a lot of minerals with sweat without replenishing them naturally.
A very helpful video thankyou for sharing this information!
Omg Thank so much for this information. 3 days on Keto and haven’t went. I was seriously starting to worry.
Been on keto for about 70+ days,lost 37lb feel great but also feel bloated and I can see my belly bloating, not pooped in 5 days,I know you don’t poop as much on keto but this feels like I am backing up.had a bag of spinach cooked in coconut oil and had a drink of cider vinegar,just a waiting game ��
Right. I’ve gone twice in 3 1/2 weeks. Getting discouraged with this.
I just have a coffee with milk as a quick fix solution… the carb content of milk in a small tea cup of coffee is minimal (5 mg) so you should be fine and still on ketosis… as the milk is important as that is what breaks down the stomach… even if throws you out of ketosis it’s for a couple of hours max… small price to pay
Hello Ashley, I wanna thank you for your videos there are so informative! this is my first week on Ketos and it feels like there so much to learn, but I’m glad you clarified everything your videos are so motivating and inspiring��
Nahhhh… many people are constipated do some research. After starting Keto with my bowel movements came out only stones and after three days my Hemorrhoids!
“you only think you’re constipated” my gut would highly disagree with you… Pain doesn’t lie.
Smh…. I know avacado provides so much benefits… Too bad I’m allergic. Anybody knows any few great substitues?
Is there a reason why you might get mucus in your bowel when on keto?
Just ordered the electrolyte drops. Thank you so much. I’ve been cramping up badly eating under 20 carbs.
Thank you, I was getting concerned. I’m glad I came across your channel
Constipation and bloating have been big problems for me since starting keto. I need to monitor the hydration, potassium and magnesium more closely, but I’m hoping adding the Muniq shakes to my diet will be a problem fixer. The ACV and psyllium husk fiber wasn’t helping and my stomach would get so big after a few days so I’ve been using a dulcolax pill every 3 days. ��
My friend says that “it hurts so much” when I enter the ‘back door’ with my powerhouse drill. But I’m not the one who talks about a bowel movement by saying “I just dropped a few brown logs”. That’s not a happy time, particularly when I find them on the bathroom floor.
Did you say iodine in salt is bad? can someone help/explain? amybe I understood it wrong…
Can i get flax seed instead of chia seed for constipation issue?
Thanks for letting me know! I thought I was constipated since I haven’t gone for 3 days. I’m not in pain or anything but idk. We’ll see. When I finally go number 2 then I will know. Maybe I’ll give an update on this comment
It’s just terrible. It took me about 3 months to be almost normal. I had medicine but only worked at the beginning. I quit keto and after 20 days I’m feeling so much better. Best of luck to all of you.
Is this guy a doctor? He should clarify his credentials since he is talk with authority. I’d want to listen to him more if he qualified what makes him an expert in this field.
When i was eating kraft dinner i was having number 2 every single day no problem, now there is sometimes i don’t need number 2 for 2 days.
I’m an IBS sufferer and I’m going to try lemon water, self message, and the yoga. May make soups too. Thank you for the video!
I’ve heard that keto dieting can cause insulin resistance and that if your in ketosis you are insulin resistant until you come out of it any truth to this? love your videos by the way:)
Doctor, i followed your interview with Ivor Cummings June 2019 and iam trying to find out why my doctor has me on statins after my stent of 2014..! Ive being doing keto 8 months and reversed my type 2 diabetes and all my ldl /Tri chol are bang on.. BP normal. Lost 17kilos and feel half my age at 60. She tells me the ROSUVASTATIN iam taking is to stabilize my plaque.! My question is why and how does it and should i keep taking 10mg every second day..? Could you PLEASE HELP. South coast n.s.w.
Started keto March 4th and have taken only 3 ������ (ITS now March 10th), I feel great but I was beginning to wonder
Thomas it’s nice to see someone who gives a crap! (Ba-dump-tishhhhhh)
You did not say anything about the effect of steroids on blood sugar. If one is doing the 6 day regimen, it will take a few weeks to clear the body.
I find a lower fiber diet is my best bet! Fatty meats seems to keep things moving just fine. Fiber seems to be a menace for me ��
Since i started the keto diet i eat almost every day an avocado, no wonder i never had any problems with my digestion
3 weeks I already lost ten pounds keto is the shit 219 down to 209
Constipation was a make-or-break keto issue for me as it led to actual impaction and total inability to move, requiring enema. Now I take 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk in 1/2 cup water with each of two keto meals a day, sipping at intervals to mix it well with the food. I follow that with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in water. Outstanding results. It is hopeful to think that this may not be necessary as I get farther along in fat adaptation. Many thanks for all that you do.
Currently going through this now on keto…I hate it here��
Thank you for the video. It got so bad for me that I called the doctor. He put me on laxatives. I’m going to try your recommendations as well and hopefully get over this.
How is this a good diet? If this is how we were meant to eat why are there so many problems that come with it?
Kimchi has chili peppers which are full of lectins as well as eggplants. Lectins cause leaky gut.
Hello there,
I have just started experimenting with extra virgin olive oil enimas, to cure constipation.
Even though I am a comedian, its not really amusing when things get stuck.
Do not try to fart for at least 2hours after the enima…
I do over the counter soluble fiber tablets along with avocado and lots of green veggies.
I’ve done the Psy husks for years. They worked much better (for me) when I was on sugar. Now I add FG magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salts) if I lock up. It actually works best for me. Years ago, I remember an Adkins trainer saying, “If your turds don’t float, you are not getting enough fiber!”
Omg this video helps!!!!! I was wondering why I was not…. thank you!!!
tb é problem is that the avocados aren’t always ripe when being sold it’s like bananas they take awhile and I live far from the town I have to find another method maybe a chia seeds bowl
My keto constipation was relieved by eating a keto cookie sweetened monkfruit and alcohol sugars-that’ll loosen you up in a big way!
Helps u-tube search titleketo coconut flour tortillas ruledme
Great points on potassium electrolyte, we need much more and i use adrenal cocktail to load up my potassium then magnesium
mct is excellent for keto
The first 2 months, this was a huge issue for me, even though I started taking inulin every day. I heard a keto YouTuber say that it can be your gut bacteria having to re-balance to be more of non-sugar feeding guys. That must have been it, because I now eat less veggies, no inulin, and go regularly. Carnivore dieters have good points about fibre not helping the way we’ve been told. I believe them now.
I knew I’d find a video from you about this! You’ve answered many of my questions thank u
I’m 18 years old, I make sure that in a day I eat veggies, fruits and meat, drink 2L of water and still constipated for some reason
“Smooth Move tea” (name on box) or detox tea… found in the tea section of your local grocery store (even Walmart carries it under $4). Natural herbs.
I’ve been on the ketogenic systems for about five weeks now. And to save my own life I cannot stop shiting liquid hell. Can anyone please please tell me why.
Great tips for constipation. Not sure about tip no. 3 Fibre though. There does not appear to have any science to show that fibre helps bowel movement. In fact fibre might have the opposite effect as it makes the stools larger and therefore harder to pass through
2:03 Dr. Becky: “Because you’re you” Dr. Keith: “Dang it…a jab during live recording?” LOL I enjoy many of your videos! (haven’t watched all of them yet)
Yeah! Don’t walk too far. All these joggers stopping to have a dump in the randomness ;-).
Can’t thank you enough for self massage. Worked within 10 mins
Many thanks for the Endure electrolyte recommendation from a previous video. I have been using it several weeks now-think it was something my body was missing. Good idea on adding chia seeds to yogurt; I will try it.
You mentioned serving asparagus to guests. Perhaps a side theme, but it might make an interesting video to discuss what you like to serve visitors in your home and how you navigate that situation.
Flax seed or something on everything for fiber
Avocados
Probiotics
Prebiotics
Asparagus
Pink salt
Potassium
Magnesium
for electrolytes KetoAde 40 oz bottle of water with NoSalt all potassium 1/4 tsp (I use a heaping 1/4), mixed with magnesium citrate I like Natural Calm powder. Mix in a few drops of STUR flavoring and sip thru out the day. Chia seed pudding: 2 tbsp of chia seeds, mixed with some coconut cream or HWC in a bowl (can also add some water to thin out a bit) add vanilla extract, monkfruit sweetener and a little bit of dark choc cocoa powder you get dessert along with benefits of chia seeds
Love this video! Your breakdowns of bodily functions are both interesting and informative. This content is spot on!
I’m on Day 7. Yesterday and today I’ve had the completely opposite reaction. And I now have pimples and weird body odor. Is that typical??
Our teeth are similar to many plant eating animals…….not exactly meant to eat meat but can eat meat �� not healthcare professional most likely. When it comes to your body seek medical advice
Thank you for taking on this taboo subject. I want to share with you and your other subscribers what has helped me. It is in line with what you are saying in your video. I have added magnesium, digestive enzymes, L-Carnitine and buffered Vitamin C to my daily vitamins. This has been extremely helpful with regularity and comfort. I also would like your opinion on whether or not to consider adding potato starch to your diet? I have read that this can be helpful in promoting healthy gut bacteria.
What about if you are focusing on fiber and fats and hydration??
Fiber both soluble and insoluble is actually the cause for digestive issues even in small quantity in a ketogenic diet. Our colon can no longer process fiber as well as herbivores. The small amount of ketones we get from short chain triglycerides via microbiome does not outweigh the benefits. There are also anti-nutrients, lechtins, oxalates, etc that some are more sensitive to than others. There is also FODMAPS that we need to be aware of. Try ZCHF keto (carnivore) for a few weeks and you would be surprised that any digestive issues and any other complications that LCHF keto can’t address may just get resolved. There may be a 1-week microbiome adjustment period but will be smooth sailing after. Dr Paul Mason and Dr Paul Saladino go into the scientific data analysis as fiber not being an essential just like how carbohydrate is a non-essential for humans.
I didn’t poop everyday on the vegan diet but my shits were bigger. I didn’t poop everyday on the keto diet but my shits were small. I poop once a week
man im 13 and on keto for 16 days and i ate kfc once and I was thinking thats why Im constipated but idrk
I was constipated and so desperate after a month of this crap. At 3am I went to the store, bought prune juice, prunes, coconut water, sports drinks (for more electrolytes, avocados (for potassium) and kiwis and ate and drank a bit of everything. Within an hour I pooped after 5 days of no brown snakes
