This is like the only person on YouTube who eats naturally and doesn’t promote “health” products ��
Dr Berry is 1000% right. I use to have a ileostomy myself and I could eat a 2# steak and NEVER have not one piece of steak come out. Now veggies and nuts are a whole different story. Meat is �� utilized in your system
Great talk! Also you can try an enema with clean lukewarm water
On a keto diet that is more plant-based (salads, nuts, etc for example), you’ll still have regular bowel movements. Of course you should have much less bowel movements on a carnivore diet, because you’ll have less food material in your large intestine after digestion. They know this from people that have to wear colostomy bags. They had much less waste in their bags when they ate meat versus plant-based food. When you eat meat for example, your small intestine has much more nutrition to absorb, whereas, if you are eating grains or vegetables, a lot of it is fiber which just gets passed through into the large intestine which also places more stress on the large intestine. They always say its healthy to have bowel movements like once a day. That’s BS. Your bowels do not care to have movements every day and would prefer not to, because dealing with extra food material and fiber is nothing but stress for the large intestine.
Real bad constipation till I was crying and bleeding from my bottom. Will get those Mg Cit ��
Love your videos….but can you make a good fats v.s. bad fats….and where grease fixes in…..is there a good healthy Keto and a bad unhealthy keto?….I’m a little confused….I would really appreciate it….. keep keeping on you really are making a difference…..
Do you have to take magnesium citrate the rest of your life or just temporarily.
Ah, glad to hear about magnesium citrate, will have a look for that.
Started on keto/IF 2 weeks ago, done a couple longer fasts of 48 hr plus, and have had only one small dump in all that time, been about ten days now, guess I’m just full of shit. I hear celery might help so I got some of that, might just need more veggies overall.
Did I just see a grown men giggle at the word constipation?… One of the reason why man are awesome.
You are just brilliant. Love this doctor more than any source out there. ❤️
My husband and I are starting to eat keto and have just ordered your book. We are hoping he will be able to get off of blood pressure meds and also stave off diabetes because the nurse at his doctor’s office told him, only in a passing conversation, “oh yeah you are predictable by the way.” Anyhow he has trouble with hemorrhoids also and since we started this a couple of weeks ago he is having a flair up. So I am wondering if keto might exacerbate that condition? Or is there anything he should be doing to help that? Thank you for all your wisdom and time..
I’ve had nothing but trouble since starting this keto, overrated bullshit, sorry. Could it be this so called wonder diet isn’t suitable for everyone?
FOR me it was FOOLISHLY way too much almond butter/cheese and accidental severe dehydration. ( a very bad combo for sure for me) Going thru a very bad bout of it now from that:( Had to seek medical attn for this today:( very sick from it. MY BAD AND I WILL NEVER DO THIS AGAIN! Drinking Clearlax and gave myself a fleeeet…on the mend and ready to keto on once i can eat again. Just glad i am surviving this and know exactly what i did wrong in this case…i have so learned this the HARD way uggh! It’s been the worse torture since i gave birth or a very close 2nd anyways pain wise.
do you think the slimes Factor would protect parasites that are in your body or help remove them?
I have IBS with diareaha. I have been on the keto diet for five days. I had poop as I was walking around the block. I hurried home. I had a lot of diareaha, when I got home. I use lopermide to harden poop. I hope this cures it in time.
Dr Berry, which food would you advise for endurance sport activities like cycling, where you feel the need for added fuel after 2 or 3 hours?
Chia seeds alone will not “cure” keto constipation. This is a three-headed monster. Chia seeds give you fiber, but you still need pre-biotics and probiotics. Pre-biotics are the type of fiber that we really need. They keep your probiotics bacteria healthy. I would recommend flaxseed meal and whole milk kefir.
Dr. Boz you were out of focus most of the time and pixalating. Enjoyed the info, I am constipated all the time and it takes about a stick of dynomite to make me go. I have tried everything. I will try this and hope for the best.
ive had to do the magnesium citrate drinks a couple times in the past too. they definitely work just dont make sure to be near a toilet around the 7.5 hour mark. your gonna be pooping liquid for an hour lol
I have a teaspoonful of psyllium husks in a glass of water every morning.
I have to careful because I get dry stool with keto. The veggie help but it’s not the bowel movement the issue is the hardness that’s hard to move. What causes the dry stool.
Don’t forget to share this video with people who you think are full of shit.
I love Mommy’s Bliss Constipation Ease! It’s all natural and it works quickly but gently! It’s amazing! If you are struggling with constipation maybe give it a try! ������
So I started keto and immediately pooped less, but I went from once a day to one every 4 days that was very dry, scratchy and painful. Since I am poor I did not drastically increase my meat intake and I am not a fan of dairy, but I did eat a lot more fresh veggies. Is there a dietary tip I am missing?
1. Experiment with protein to fat ratio (trying upping fat, maybe 75% fat to 25% protein).
2. Slow cooked meat vs. less cooked meats (less cooked is better).
3. Consider meal spacing (OMAD can be hard for the gut).
4. Consider meal timing (don’t eat close to bedtime).
5. Consider rendered fat intake (prioritize raw fat, rendered fat should be used for cooking)
6. Liquid intake and timing (don’t drink a lot after meals).
7. Activity levels (exercise helps).
8. Stress.
9. Consider bone consumption (a lot of bones increases constipations)
Bonus:
Don’t smang (sming, smung)
CHIA SEEDS are they not high in oxalates…which can cause numerous problems. I would guess use them only as needed.
I heard vegans make a lot of bowel movements, which means more methane methane is a 20 times stronger green house gass than CO2, and much worse, as plants eat CO2 for food, but do not eat methane.
can you do a “what I eat in a day video”? You should do a makeup tutorial or skincare video. ��
I type keto contipation there u are, keto coffee, there u is,
This was a real eye-opener for me. I started to notice I wasn’t going as frequent as before to the bathroom, yet I didn’t feel there was anything wrong with my digestion. Also the fact that my weight was consistent everyday made me think my body was not accumulating anything…so I tend to agree that the absorption of animal products must be much higher with minimal intestinal by-product
Like a math problem I’m gonna take a pencil and work this out! LOL
Yes, increasing bone meal when I had the runs was advised. I did notice a difference in the solidifying abilities of adding additional bone meal during that time.
I can not eat nuts or seeds, can I do the same with oat fiber?
Yes, Dr.Berry, I am a victim of constipation even though I have IBS-D!!!..Not pleasant, either!
You could do a salt water. 1-2 t of salt in water, shoot it down, dont go any where for the day…lol! True constipation comes with a lot of pain. If you’re carnivore, you poo less because your body is using the bioavailable fuel.
Great work out at the end. Love the garage gym!
Constipation was never my problem when I went Keto, I have the exact opposite problem, and at the worst times! Never trust a Keto fart!
Perhaps the combination of Keto and 22/2 IF meant no constipation?
Your completely right. My husband had stage 3B N2 M0 colorectal cancer. He underwent an illeostomy prior to treatment. If he ate any produce we would see it in his waste. Full raisins (sorry to be graphic lol) but the medical team told him to eat everything you were not supposed to. He does miss salads tho. I follow a very strict keto diet and feel great!
PINK SALT IS PROBABLY THE BEST SALT ON EARTH TO HAVE. LOOK IT UP, IT HAS OVER 80 ESSENTIAL MINERALS.
Before keto lifestyle i was always bloated and constipated. However, since being on keto, much more regular and no bloating. Yay!! Feeling great!
Hi Doc…I’ve had issues with constipation for many years (to a point i had a hemorrhoid surgery done…). I’m not necessarily on keto..but I am on a ‘moderate’ carb diet (under 100 grams/day).I use chia seeds in my low carb homemade bread, and I am already taking about 1 tbs chia seeds everyday…I do have a question about magnesium citrate. I take about 320mg mag citrate (two pills…) a day, but I don’t think it has that laxative effect…is it at least enough to reduce the spinchter spasm/relaxes the muscles so i can go easier? I am not sure if the powder version works better? Also second question…I’ve been taking Miralax daily…but a very small dose…maybe just 1/2 tsp in the morning with coffee.. vs the suggested dosage of 17 grams/capful (equivalent to maybe 6 tsp)…I am planning to take this maybe at least for another couple months until my fissures fully healed (had a huge blockage a couple weeks ago 6 weeks post op) and my rectum is back to normal. So is it safe to take 1 tsp miralax a day? for another couple months? I have done everything else from eating 5-7 prunes a day and drinking 1/4 cup of parsley juice (just started a couple days ago which maybe the potassium made me go…). Hope to hear from you…thank you!
Sprints pumps tons of adrenaline into your system and you still lifting. Continue this and you will never get your periods back. If you don’t get your periods back, your ovaries will shrink aka premature menopause and you never be able to have children. Ask yourselves why you are doing this to yourselves. Why you are not looking for boyfriend and why you live under the same roof 24/7 with 3 dogs? As long as you behaving the same, you will not get your periods back,. There are so many good men out there who want to be fathers and our women are making themselves infertile in the GYM and living with dogs.
Don’t forget hydration, being keto makes you lose a lot of water and minerals with it so don’t forget to add the sea or rock salt.
Oh! With my headphones on, the intro music was soooo much louder than you talking!:o
I love that Princess Poo pillow/teddy by the way!:D
Is there a limit to taking magnesium citrate? I mean in terms of period? I don’t want to be dependand eventually on it.
Hi Girls, thanks for the tips! I’ve upped my fats and it seems to be helping to get things moving �� I’m finding I get quite a bit of gas that goes along with this, do you have any tips for that?? Thanks �� ��
Taking a spoonful of chic seeds can be dangerous. Mix it in water an drink. You don’t want to get sued from someone in the hospital that didn’t do it right. Must have lots of water.
I can´t run if I had any plants whatsoever. Recently started bc I felt like. Long distance running seems super easy now.
Magnesium Citrate is great to relieve constipation it draws water into the bowls and helps move things along. Also most people are deficient in Magnesium and it helps with relaxation, sleep, muscle cramps twitches, and many many more biological processes. Helps me sleep like a rock and I feel rested and better recovered from my fitness sessions.
I was on OMAD but after I got fat ear means not an in-ear-infection but between the ear shell and the face I had to go to 2MAD and had a few slices of cooked ham for breakfast to take the antibiotic pill
but since the ham was seasoned with a bit of honey I got hungry at around lunchtime so I took a bowl made with beef stripes, sliced hard boiled eggs, butter sliced and either or both mushrooms (raw, seared or cooked) and asparagus to eat during lunchtime and later I had a piece of fresh roasted beef roast to take my second antibiotic pill cause I like to use the leftovers of the roast to make my lunch bowl lol I found out my digestion is much better now then when I was on OMAD so I might stick with 2-3 MAD for awhile lol I use chopsticks this is why I cut my roast in stripes lol
I shared your video on my FB blog for my friends who started Keto after me talking about it since I started the FB blog I switched from normal Keto means Protein, Fat and Carbs to animal based Keto Carnivore means no carbs or up to 5 grams for the whole day but usually I either have less or non-carbs lol
Great to hear you found what works for you! Great tips. So true about listening to your body.
If I don’t get enough salt I get constipated. I also get increased heart palpitations
Hi Doc (or anybody who takes mag citrate)…I’ve had issues with constipation for many years (to a point i had a hemorrhoid surgery done…). I’m not necessarily on keto..but I am on a ‘moderate’ carb diet (under 100 grams/day). I take about 320mg mag citrate (two pills…) a day, but I don’t think it has that laxative effect…is it at least enough to reduce the spinchter spasm/relaxes the muscles so i can go easier? I am not sure if the powder version works better? Also second question…I’ve been taking Miralax daily…but a very small dose…maybe just 1/2 tsp in the morning with coffee and 1/2 tsp with dinner (sometimes 1/4 tsp)…total of only up to 1 tsp a day vs the suggested dosage of 17 grams/capful maybe 6 tsp…I am planning to take this maybe at least for another couple months until my fissures heal (had a huge blockage a couple weeks ago 6 weeks post op). So is it safe to take 1 tsp miralax a day? for a couple months?

Turmeric 1/2 teaspoon
Baking soda teaspoon
Frozen lemon shred much you want
Sprinkle black pepper in awaken turmeric
Mothers vinegar 2 teaspoons.
Glass of cold water
Also good to prevent cancer.
Works great..
Carbs aren’t the issue, it’s overeating. Eat when you’re hungry, don’t when you’re not. Simple.
My husband had a stroke in December and is also only eating meat and only two vegetables he eats is carrots/ green beans. He’s been using enimas and I told him only do them no longer than two weeks then he should see a doctor I would think but I’m between time any advice? I told him adding fiber pills or like Metamucil or Miralax and or stool softeners? So please give me something he could try before we have to go see doctor with an expensive cost for a visit thank you
omg you must GRIND THEM to get any of the benefits inside the little seeds!
Chia seeds are very high in oxylates. Won’t they give me kidney stones?
Does the seed bulk cleanse your intestinal wall may help clean parasites?
Just got my new ketone meter in and my glucose was 78 and my ketones are 2.8 = 27 ratio. Awesome!! Thanks Dr. Boz.
I had chronical blood stool in Keto. Chia seeds solved my problem. I can testify. Thank you so much for the tip.
What is the best time of day to measure blood sugar and ketones?
This was great. Something I definitely struggle with.�� I have used Epson salt for it too n no sweeteners there. Thanks Angels����
I have a number of clients who are doing all of this but still straining with very painful bowel movements.
I think everyone is different. Dr. Westman says that most people who can eat a lot of calories and still lose weight are young, male jocks. Those who can’t are often middle aged, sedentary, women. Since I’m a middle aged, sedentary woman, eating extra fat doesn’t work for me.
I’m in love with both of you. Is there something wrong with me?
Hello @Strong.Sistas!!! Thank you for your video. It helped me a lot, but my main problem is cooking, thinking about recipes and what to cook. Since you are in this keto diet longer than me I was hoping you could help me. I recently found out about this https://wantedsecrets.com/free-ketodiet-plan which is a free custom made keto diet plan for anyone. Have you maybe used this or what do you think about it? I am really thinking about using it since it is free but just wanted to know your thought on it. Thanks in advance for your help!
Perfect timing! I have been on keto for 3 months and thought I was over constipation issues I had the first few weeks. But I just did the Dr. Fung week long intermediate fast, which included 2 48 hr fasts, mixed with other days of 18:6 IF. Constipation plagued me for days after that. This helps a lot. Thanks.
omg i’ll eat a 4oz stick of butter like its sliced cheese with my meats. i could do that for the rest of my life
Thank you this was very helpful. I was having explosive poop when I first started. Never done so much toilet cleaning in my life. So I cut down on fat and more searing and now…
I am goooood poop! I was kinda worried in the beginning, now I know why. Good video. Kiss the dogs for me.
We know you gals are insane, BUT, at least you’re healthy!!! <3
Iunno… it might be that they are incredibly high in fiber?:P
Been doing keto for about 8 months. Started experiencing constipation about 2 weeks ago.
Went from very easy bowel movements to being plugged up very suddenly.
Now I know to completely ignore this guy when he says “none of my clients have ever experienced……..fill in the blank.” This guy says that alot. I have experienced serious constipation on ketosis, so intense that I’ve had to take enemas. I’m working on sorting it out, because I love the ketogenic diet.
Been doing keto since may of 2019. Iv lost 100 pounds but now have hemorrhoids! I’m done with keto. Iv done everything right following dr berry dr burg and Thomas here on YouTube but my constipation is not getting any better
Go to 9:55 the next time someone tells you that calories impact weight gain more than hormones.
sometimes your mind is telling you that you should be pooping but if you’re not really feeling the need then you shouldn’t force it. sometimes a fart is just a fart and little baby rabbit poops are okay if you know you’re eating higher protein and lower fats. happened to me the other day when i was eating some chicken breast for one of my meals without any extra fats (i add bacon to my chicken usually). protein is also more nutrient dense and so your body will absorb a lot of that and you just wont have anything to poop.
My friend who got me started with Keto was diagnosed with diverticulosis many years ago. Shortly after he started Keto he noticed no more symptoms, he can eat seeds and nuts with zero symptoms. I think in the presence of carbs, maybe seeds are a problem.
The magnesium citrate Dr. Berry talks about in this video as a bowel stimulant is the same stuff you get as a bowel-emptying prep for colonoscopies. I can tell you from personal experience that it works great for emptying your bowels! My colon was EMPty!
Chunks of incompletely digested meat can absolutely end up in the ostomy bag. One reason you probably don’t see it often is that ostomates (at least I) have learned to chew my food, especially meat, very thoroughly, lest I end up with problems. Even in my case, with just my rectum (rectal cancer) removed, it’s easy to run into problems if food isn’t chewed up well enough.
I agreed with this for the most part, but that seemed to be a bit of cause-effect confusion.
I love your videos! I have been a carnivore for 2 months now. You often talk about Beef Suet. Do you have an alternative for that? I live in the Netherlands and that is not available here. I asked around at local farmers and butchers but they really don’t sell it. It’s not a common thing here. Help a girl out!
Try Phillips Milk of Magnesia and Cod Liver oil. It works wonders!
If when I eat chia pudding, it causes some diverticulosis pain passing through, how can eating a tablespoon full not blown up not cause pain?
Once I did an experiment. I drunk 20grams of salt with water. I guarantee you’ll poop within 10 minutes. It’s called salt flushing as I later learned. I was pooping liquid for 2-3 days. It’s unstable but has effect.
Edit: seems it’s mentioned. I was at the beginning of the video when I did the comment.
Another bomb video you guys! Thanks for all the great info as always:)
i had good experience with a salt flush. I use this, when i had nothing going for about 7 days. Just drink 1 Liter of water with 2 teaspoons of salt (rockor seasalt) within 5 minutes. keep drinking unsalted water moderately afterwards. It should do it’s work within 45-90 minutes. i find it to be mild on the body while still having a good impact on losening things up. And magnesium didn’t work for me.
It also wasn’t the first time i heard about more fat and less rendered fat. The thing is, i do not have access to fatty cuts of meat. everything here (in Germany) is very lean. Even the meat i bought from a local farmer. I asked for beaf suet, and they didn’t even know what that was. So i have to rely on things like butter and tallow if i want to increase the fat in my meal.
Constipation on keto?
We just need 1/2 tsp of sea salt with lemon water sweetened W/Stevia, TWICE A day, and that definitely will help!
im on my 3weeks going a month on keto i got constipated tho i get to poop my stoll but i get anal fissure now i dont feel that i wanna poop because it hurts so much i bought cream for it to lessen the pain but when i hit on the toilet to poop even just a small amout it hurts:( i didnt know that ill get constipated to this i eat my greens but when the stool pass it really hurts help me:(
There is a reason for everything your body does. If you do everything right, what exactly is the body trying to do when you get constipated? Chronic sufferers need to know.
I do keto and omad. I take a dump like once every two weeks…
I had floating stool the past 2 years I was on and off keto which was often too soft and too light in colour also with the unpleasant, quick kinds of sittings inbetween. I think my body wasn’t able to properly adapt to fat digestion. Been carnivore for the past 10 weeks straight with occational non-carnivore foods here and there and my stool went back to normal. If I eat only meat I use the bathroom once per day, if I eat other foods too (like selfmade carni buns which are mostly eggs and grinded pork rinds) I sometimes go twice. Best diet for me, I was never able to stick to a diet for so long EVER! Love your content, stay healthy and strong, beloved sisters! <3
the Magnesium supplements that the dear doc berry recommends, i’d rather do not take them.
why? because i do not take supplements, none of them, not even multi-vitamins as many times we never know what is in those pills, and our paleo ancestor never took them, nor do we. EVERYTHING our bodies need can be found in NATURAL foods. Therefore, I’d rather get the increase of magnesium in natural foods. WE can eat found in Dark Chocolate, the darker the better. The best one is Hershey’s 100% cocoa. You make a good rich cup of that Chocolate (nothing added, just the powder) and it will be just as drinking magnesium. The taste you get used to, my taste buds got adapted and i enjoy this coup of real dark chocolate. Or we can eat chocolate bars as dark as possible, 90% is available at any supermarket. ALSO, you can eat the magical Avocados. The avocado is an incredibly nutritious fruit and a tasty source of magnesium. Try it in salad or alone with some Himalaya pink salt and some olive oil on top, delicious and nutritious at the same time. IN ADDITION, Some good quality Fatty Fish have lots Mg, especially good Salmon and Mackerel. So, i’d not take that Mg pill. I’d rather drink it, or eat it. Tha tha tha tha tha That’s all Folks!!
When you going to talk about killing animals? Do you kill them humanely or nice and slow watching them struggle?
Chia and. Flax are Omega 3 rich foods. too. Can eat together.
Can you take an Epsom bath and absorb the magnesium in the salt while bathing?
Good information here. Drinking more water & increasing fibre never helped me one bit. That’s all I ever heard from health professionals for 40 years. Meat based hIgh fat, low carb diet solved lifelong constipation for me very quickly. Well done for tackling the subject
coffee, if you get a stovetop coffee maker and drink black coffee in the mornings it definitely helps keep you regular. Oh with your periods? Had you thought that sleeping with men, the smell of men might bring your period on
ive been an atkins/keto person for over 10 years and i still have constipation issues. i feel bad after about 3 to 4 days. ive gone as long as 2 weeks at times. after that my body says enough and then ill have the runs for 3 days, then the cycle starts again. im gonna try the chia seeds i hope they work. in my case though i think the chia seeds may have to be a permanent daily thing.
I find if i eat a seed keto bread you never have a problem..psylim husk in the bread sorts it out its esay to make at 2 carbs a slice @ with butter delishious…
Surprising news that High fat could continue your insulin resistance
I’m the one that gets the runs when I eat a lot of slow cooked meats. Exact opposite lol.
Thoughts on psyllium? I take a dozen capsules a day and life is beautiful but there are some carbs associated with it (12 or so total). Love your channel!
What do you do when you’ve tried EVERYTHING in this video (for weeks) and still constipated? Try central nervous system relaxation: yoga nidra, neurofeedback, craniosacral… something that taps into your autonomic nervous system and activates the parasympathetic tone properly. If it’s still not working, please go and get a colonoscopy….
After starting keto, i didn’t pooped for 3 days. It was all gassy and horrible fatigued feeling.
So i ate bread on 4 day, till the end of 4th day, i had diarrhea type situation and all the veggies were out of system. And all the gas was gone and I felt light.
I had to diagnose myself with the help of Youtube. The advise was free and saves me more than a $100.00 a month on medical costs. My doctors were oblivious to Metabolic Ketosis Adaptation. If doctors put their patients into Ketosis they would go bankrupt along with the pharmaceutical industry.
wow… been away for awhile. you got ripped…. I lost so far 25 lbs since december… at a plateau…. but will start jogging this week
I wonder if nut or seed butters together with the fibre rich vegetables like carrots etc can cause constipation? Will oils and vegetables together be better or just vegetables against constipation?
Hahaha Love your jokes�� you’re perfect. Your workout are perfect. Thank you!
Drinking alot of water is not really necessary on Keto. Most important is to keep your electrolytes (especially sodium & potassium) balanced without the balance of 4:1 ratio the water in the intestines will be pulled out of them. Be aware to ease into eating the 7 cups of veggies recommended per day go slow work up in cups greens can be constipating until you’re acclimated to the diet. Plus, you can add taking some bile salts this helps the gallbladder & pancreas to release the necessary enzymes to digest proteins.
I’m here because today I’ve made a record in the toilet: 1 hour of pooping. I can’t tell how painful that was. A labor
Constipation, IMO, is directly influenced by fiber in take. Especially from fruits and vegetables. There is a reason for the Taco Bell jokes.
I feel soooooo good on this diet but the constipation get it worst I never have this problem before carnivor…. Thank you so much for sharing your tips hopefully will help me
Good morning! LOL “Chunkmasters 3000s”! It’s so great you can talk about and accept past mistakes, in addition to celebrating the joys of life. Don’t let the haters get you down.
Thanks all, we are on it.. “Food is Chemical Information” for the body Each molecule of food has the potential to be a building block, an antagonist, and directly interact with DNA, mitochondrial RNA, and all metabolic pathways.”… The question “Is It Disease Care or Health Care?” –

I have been taking mag citrate 1100 mg every night. Now that I am transitioning to keto, my bm activity has greatly decreased. I guess I can try to add celtic salt to my drinking water.
Great info! Thank you! Never heard of milk thistle �� Constipation is something so many of us struggle with so it’s so nice to see some options to help us out ��
great info,however your constant rocking back and forth rocking made me dizzy…i realize we all have our personal habits that are annoying to others, that we don’t recognize in ourselves, so i wont get on your case to badly…
Yes, apple cider vinegar is really good for constipation. I just have to be careful about drinking it (and lemon juice water) because it deteriorates teeth enamel and I have sensitive teeth. I also take a natural colon cleanser called Oxy Powder. It cleanses both the large and small intestines and it’s vegan. Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/Global-Healing-Center-Oxy-Powder-Constipation/dp/B01BGU4S28/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1528899648&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=oxy+powder+colon+cleanse&psc=1
This is so helpful. Because of my connective tissue disorder, I’ve struggled with gastroparesis. Please consider doing a video on this WOE can affect people like me. I have VEDS and a bunch of aneurysms and aortic stents. ����
Stupid over hyped diet isn’t worth it, not impressed with the cult of keto at all. There are so many variables that can go wrong with it including not being able to sleep and now you can’t crap with it either. Seriously, how the hell is that supposed to benefit your health? Has anyone done any research on the longterm effects of this diet? I’ll bet they haven’t although I am hearing reports of pancreatic issues with some people. Sorry I don’t buy this diet being meant for longterm, I’m not even sure it’s good for short term. Be careful on this diet, I don’t believe it’s for everyone, no matter what the experts say.
This was truly helpful… I have noticed my bowels are not as frequent on Keto… thought this was some weird thing with my IBS.
LOVE it! Thanks so much for sharing your experience.<3
I tried drinking water only when I’m thirsty and was shocked how well it worked. Before I’d drink way too much too fast. This I learned causes hyponatremia, which makes you feel more thirsty. It also flushes out electrolytes like potassium that soften stool, thus making them harder and less passable.
I’ll try getting some exercise in too. You’re a great role model keep up the amazing work. ^_^
Constipation, almost always, is an issue of not enough water intake. Probably, something as simple as drinking a liter of water, between meals.
Another thing to do is keto is often not a zero carb diet but a very low carb diet. As in less than 10 grams per 1000 calories. This is a ridiculously small amount as refined carb but is a reasonable amount in the form of say, salad.
My own keto diet is essentially a hundred different varieties of cruciferous vegetable (broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce). Usually 5 grams or less regular carbs but a reasonable amount of fiber. A small amount of meat. And a huge amount of fat. Often, half a stick of butter. I am however, bigger than the two of you combined (mostly muscle).
For those who don’t want to bother and just eat a carnivorous diet, a sugar free fiber supplement is idea. HOWEVER, ONLY if its the type you drink with water. As it is the water that actually keeps your digestive system in good working order. Some people for whatever reason will prefer capsules. This is a bad idea unless taken correctly….which is to say, you drink an entire liter of water with the dry supplement.
Protein vs fat. Often an issue with diabetes. Your body, can, and often will, turn protein into glucose via gluconeogenesis. It’s that thing everyone in college grinds through in biochem class in college and then promptly forgets since no one mentions that it is a real thing not a theoretical thing. The higher the protein, the less effective your insulin, and especially, the more refined the protein, the more likely protein turns into glucose. Almost never happens with food…..steak, eggs etc. But its quite common with not food products. Refined protein in bars, shakes, powders etc.
Many body builders get a surprise with this as they put on the wrong type of weight (a sign of diabetes). Although their blood sugar and A1C is low, when measured, their insulin level is abnormally high. The reason why is gluconeogenesis.
Interesting about the not adding too much fat and eating protein to satiety. Correlates to what Dr. Ted Naiman tends to tweet and the not fearing increased protein intake with what Dr. Ben Bikman lectured about at Low Carb Breck ’18.
“Sometimes people just have that look but sometimes they’are just constipated” hilarious!
I started keto and intermittent fasting 2 weeks ago. After the initial transition, we absolutely couldn’t go back to the deadly American diet!! But I unfortunately have gotten bound up. I noticed that it has been a couple days and no go. Its not that I feel horrible but I have been there before, so would like to nip it in the bud. Took the chia seeds hourly and 3 hrs and all good!! Thanks a million for the advice! And all the other information!!
I took 13 tbls of seeds throughout day yesterday along with MCT oil. NOTHING! Only a BAI drink today (has worked in the past) along with 2 tbls MCT oil so far. Still nothing! May take a Senna pill tonight…. Btw, also felt I was going to EXPLODE with all the seeds/water yesterday. Very uncomfortable. Didn’t think I should keep going??
It works!!! I made a stew with chicken broth and spinach-ELECTROLYTES and I had a half of avocado-POTASSIUM and than I had little bit of broccoli and mixed greens-FIBER. And some CHIA SEED to get it all going.
No dairy, no meat.
Thank you for all your knowledge!! ♥️
Hi Dr. Berry. I was eating large amounts of low carb veggies..every single day at least 450-500g a day, also i included homemade sauerkraut as well, but i am getting constipated. for a week or so, i eliminated all vegetables, eating just fats, mostly saturated and meat..it is called the paleo-ketogenic approach (PKD) promoted by Dr. Csaba Toth from Hungary. the fat-protein ratio is 2:1..for example if you eat 80g of protein, the fat should be 160g, also includes organ meats like liver and brain, heart, etc (by the way, i love to eat organ meat). My question is..should i just eliminate the veggies and continue with this protocol? the truth is that i am feeling much better, i am not bloated after eating like i was when i ate veggies. another thing would be dairy. Regarding dairy, i eat just high fat dairy, mostly buying them from local farms (sheep cheese, goat, sour cream, etc) no milk, no yogurt. could these dairy products contribute to constipation as well? i don’t have any skin issues, like rash, not even pimples so my thought is that it is not affecting me in a negative way but..the PKD protocol eliminates dairy products of any kind. By the way, i am on OMAD for more than a year, i feel great, and since i eliminated the veggies, i don’t have blood sugar issues, maybe this is result of the high fat content that keeps my blood sugars at the optimum level. Your advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
My gastroenterologist recommended jumping to “change the gut”, I guess? I haven’t taken his advice yet on doing box jumps but that might be something else to experiment with! I’m dealing with constipation so I appreciate this video. Thank you!
wow, such useful information, all these videos are really helping people, thanks.
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
i realized that when i eat trully healthy food, my body absorbs the nutrition way more efficiently so i don’t need to go use the bathroom daily. However, when i used to eat pizza etc, i would notice a huge difference. Personal experience is sometimes enough to understand a few things about foods.
I tried this technique, using Kellogg’s All Bran, after a long course of antibiotics had deranged my. gut bacteria-1/2 cup a few times a day. One morning I woke up with such awful pain in my belly that I went to the emergency room. X-ray showed “six to eight pounds” of material lodged in my intestine, above the blockage. It took a Fleet brand enema to break the blockage.
If a person has a really hard, impacted stool, all those chia seeds might be dangerous.
When I started keto I got an impacted stool that require insertion of a finger to break it apart…laborious and bloody. I still had to use half of a Fleet to flush it out. Same thing happened some days later, but the second half of the Fleet was enough to get things going.
I am now doing Low Carb Health Fat, on One Meal a Day. I eat six to eight prunes with the meal (peanut butter cheat with it). I also do 3 Tbsp of chia seeds, twice a day. Stool can still be somewhat hard, but bending forward and twisting side to side on the pot has been working to get them to pass.
Constipation will make or break this for me. So far, so good. Just finished a 48-hour fast, my first ever, and it was fantastic! Constant energy, and NO hunger.
thank you for all your videos. Two Questions… I’m 3 weeks in and still waiting for the brain fog to lift and more energy. Should it take this long? Also how far up the keto stick burning key toes?
Is constipation defined as not going for a long time or having a hard time evacuating when you do go?
Hi Ken, I started keto 29.04.19 and lost 4 stone as of 2 weeks ago. I stalled and so I went on to Carnivore. The problem now us constipated, not done no2 for 4 days. I want to do the Carnivore because I have 2 stone still to go but not if I am going to be clogged up. �� Do love your advice and videos.
Hi dr berry,,, awesome. Info,,, I’m going all in. Grains,,, sugars. Most dairy out,,, Good meats, eggs,, good fats,,, low carb veggies in…. could you comment on why,,, there’s a epidemic Ed. Industry in our culture??? Diet related. Can keto help men that have Ed issues. Maybe a good vid.. would be helpful. Thanks
Fructose causes insulin resistance?? Not true… its the combination of fat and fructose/sugar that causes insulin resistance…. google ” Randle Cycle”
I had mild constipation when I added matchbox amount of chaddar cheese to my both meals.
Great information! My daughter suffers from constipation so I’m hoping some of your suggestions will help her. Thanks for sharing
I’m not getting anything here 5 bell peppers and a squash, got nothing
DocWhat’s your opinion on psyllium husk /psyllium husk powder as it relates to bowel movements. Should someone add some to their diet? Thank you in advance.
wow… been away for awhile. you got ripped…. I lost so far 25 lbs since december… at a plateau…. but will start jogging this week
GOOD FRIDAY
Good morning my ANGELS
Enjoying my favorite YouTube channel and my elixir, thank you for answering my questions
About blue meet lol
Have a lovely day
Love PALAPAS.
Thanks for the video. Can you review a serial sold I’m Amazon called “Poop like a Champion?” I’m doing Keto and I’m thinking of trying it. This isn’t s joke. Thank you.
I had a diverticulitis flare from eating beef and broccoli for several days…after that scare, I have a little green drink each day which includes ginger, turmeric & chia seeds….smooth sailing so far⛵️ ��
I’m a 75 yr old lady and I have numerous smallish lipomas all over my body and one of my friends has just few but his are as large as are the gentleman’s in the video, who is exhibiting injection-caused lipohypertrophe.
Neither of us are on injections.
Any suggestions as to how to get rid of these unsightly fatty deposits?? I’m trying LCHF and I’m now really comfortable on two LC meals a day and I’ve lost weight, but Robert’s recommendation re satiate with veges and protein sounds really good as I think I’ve been over doing the fat thanx, Robert!!!! It makes sense that if one is eating lots of fat the body doesn’t need to use stored bodily fat for energy!!!
If I keep on LCHF and the intermittent fasting, will the numerous unsightly lipomas disappear??
My friend with the three really large lipomas poopoohs LCHF:((
I grind the chia seeds in a coffee grinder and soak the powder in water overnight with some stevia sweetener for a refreshing porridge. This allows the swelling to take place outside the gut and avoid eventual obstruction by a phyto-bezoar
So many great points here. Do you really need to worry about ketones if you are eating low carb and lots of protein? I’m losing weight but it’s slow and found out I’m not in ketosis.
im pooping everyday but my poop is hard and dry. what can i do to soften my poop?
how many hours in a row do you recommend?, 2, 3, 8?? until one goes?
Good talk.
However…
I wish he pulled the microphone out of his mouth…
I am 11 days into my Keto journey and the struggle is real. I am passing stools but they hard hard and huge! I honestly don’t know whether or not to push because of the size and pressure. After passing these stools I have had pain in the rectum pretty much until bedtime (Several hours) now 2 days later hemorrhoid. Can I still use Chia seeds for relief?
Why couldn’t I figure this out?! The explanation for why Keto often causes constipation. ��♀️ thanks guys!
It’s hard to believe she’s ever had any type of digestive upset! She looks great! ��
I’ve been on keto for 3.5 weeks and have lost 13 pounds (yay!). My constipation is completely gone. I take magnesium citrate daily at bedtime. I love this “diet.”
A cup of hot coffee in the morning also helps:) although some people wouldn’t consider it carnivore, it’s not a big deal to me!
Awesome, thanks Dr Boz. Something to use on a fast (other than BHB) to feel less hungry without spiking insulin.:)
I have found increasing my salt consumption helps and I occasionally use oxypowder capsules by Global Healing
The one thing that I miss about the SAD diet is having those gloriously massive 5 lb morning dumps.
Thank you so much covering this topic. I am 7 months carnivore and the problem has not improved. I use magnesium citrate every week and I know that is not a good idea. I will try the pork belly and beef suet.
if you see the way coconut oil or fat coagulates when it gets colder, the substance gets pretty hardened. Since you consume more fatty substances on keto can they partially solidify internally or at least just cause more viscosity that could contribute to cause constipation?
Glad to know Chia seeds will not affect my Dr Boz ratio. Great video! Concise! Thank you.
The answer to constipation is: Aloe vera juice (raw from leaves), flax meal, okra. Any of these three will get rid of constipation.
Love that you made a video on a topic people feel weird discussing. ��
18:53 Don’t fear overdoing it on protein. Eat protein-not fat-to satiety.
I dont have trouble with ‘princess’ poo, (made me giggle) but I think you need a good balance of leafy greens, high quality fats and water. Weirdly coconut oil coffee always makes me poop!
Non nutritive fiber (psillium) has worked for me. 1 BM per day on average. I asked you about a while ago but you haven’t responded? Why are the posts so long ago, 1-2 years?
Dr Westman explains why it is best to use total carbs not net carbs in his vids. His book The New Atkins for You and list of allowed foods is easy to follow and works very efficiently.
