Did you know that 95% of serotonin is produced in the gut? It’s more like the older you get, the more you realize your mindset and therefore your general life is controlled by your poop.
right? I need to get a new proctologist because mine always hopes mine gets torn to shreds and tries to put a witch's curse on it why do I keep going back? because he also gives out scratch-n-sniff stickers when you're done, so it's hard to not recommend him
Short version: Nerves in the butt detect pressure (among other things), but can't tell the difference between pressure from swelling and pressure from actual poop. Also, the colon is constantly pushing more poop, a little at a time, into the rectum. If you sit on the toilet for too long, your hemorrhoids will get more and more inflamed, even if there's no more poop. If you sit long enough, you may also periodically poop out smaller amounts of increasingly liquid poop that is always coming from the colon (but which hasn't had the chance to dry out in the rectum yet), all the while inflaming your hemorrhoids even more, leading to a painful, leaky butt once you finally do get up. So get your business done and get off the toilet quickly, even if it feels like you could maybe poop some more.
That's great 👍🏻 bro! Thank you so much 🙏🏻 dear ! Bro can u tell me that can't these haemorrhoids or swollen anus part go away by themselves or become normal? They are culprits 😈 behind our discomfort & feeling we need to sit more in Toilet 🚽 & apply pressure for poop to come out! 18 Aug 2024 11:38 AM
Dr. Chung, I know you don't mean to be funny but you are HILARIOUS in a professional and wry manner. Thank you for cracking me up and giving me great information.
I know I’m done pooping once I tinkle a bit more. No matter the stomach problems I’m having that always tricks my brain into absolutely believing I’m well emptied.
Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you for being frank and honest and for normalizing talking about something that we all do but never talk about even when we need to. And for being approachable and funny while you’re at it.
You are such a friendly doctor.... Thank you for that and make us feel so at ease!!!! More doctors should take your example😊We live in Italy and wish that our doctors here could be like you are, Dr. Chung.... Happy new year 2022 and God bless you for the beautiful "mission" to are doing for everyone.
@@yourfriendlyproctologist Hey doctor I have been going through the restroom when I eat something like apples or something healthy I have gallbladder stone and my poop is normal I'm small pieces but my stool is yellow. Just recently I felt like going to the bathroom and when I poop I feel like going back but nothing comes out . What would you recommend to help with my pain.
You are amazing Dr. Thank you for making a extremely difficult topic so easy to understand. God bless you. I'm 80 next month and your advice is helping me so much.💕🕊
This used to be such a problem for me when I had a bad diet; eating a healthy amount of fruit and veg to get lots of fiber and not over-eating has resolved this issue for me
@@Bucephalus84 I disagree. Maybe in some situations for some people but as a rule I don't think it's anxiety. I like Dr. Chung's hemorrhoid theory better.
I assumed a bad diet and too much beer was a recipe for feeling incomplete after a bowel movement. Also seems like I need half a roll of toilet paper to get clean in that situation.
Dr.chung I What found your channel a few days ago. I want to tell you how much you made my life so much better and made my hemorrhoids be at peace with me instead hating me can’t begin to tell you how happy I am everything you’ve told me in the video does work if you just give it a chance, thank you so much even when I went to my own doctor, I never could find the words to say the problems I’m having watching you do it in such a way you make me very comfortable to talk about li I found several things I do wrong. I change them and it changes almost instant. Thanks again and please keep up the great work.
I have gastroparesis, so my train runs reeeeeeally slow. Your explanation has explained so much of my daily frustrations. Thank you so much! Edit: To rephrase an old saying . . . “Sh!t -or- and get off the pot!” Okay, sir.
I've wondered about this for years, I always have an incomplete fullness. I just had my hemorrhoidectomy 5 days ago and it's been quite miserable. I'm hoping the surgery fixes them permanently.
Eliminating/ minimising gluten from my diet worked for me after a lifetime of IBS symptoms. I was later diagnosed as gluten intolerant through DNA blood test.
Thank you for being you and being so helpful with the information . Dealing with fissures and hemorrhoids for the first time and it can be so mentally frustrating . Your channel helps understand things better . 🙌
I don't usually comment much, but I have to thank you for this video. It was very helpful. Here in Germany, the doctors aren't great. They never take me seriously. I just watched a small German documentary, and a doctor said the same thing: Patients suffer from not being taken seriously.
Seeing as this is what the channel is all about.... I'll poop first thing in the morning. Out of bed, straight to the toilet. I poop, then wipe..... then just as I'm finished wiping I'll poop again and have to start the wipe process again. So now I'll sit there for 20mins, waiting for round 2. Eventually I'll be done, then after I've gotten off and go to start the morning routine, I have about 10-15mis before I'm clenching and have to go back to the toilet to fire out one last time. Then I'm done for the day... or sometimes I need to go again late in the afternoon. I feel like everything I ate the day before comes out the morning after.
This is good and helpful, but for me, the other “lose” situation would be when I’ve showered for the night and have to poop again afterward. That’s the time when I tend to try too long on the toilet - before my pre- bedtime shower. I will try your advice!
Pre-bedtime shower? A shower usually invigorates me and wakes me up. I am glad it works for you but that's the opposite of my experience. But i agree that the need for a post shower dump is an awful feeling. It's like the shower was a waste of time.
@@Torgo1969 I spent a number of years working with animals and got in the habit of needing to wash the filth of the day off before bed. Not immediately before, but before settling in to watching a little tv. I actually sauna before the shower most nights. 🙂
@@lorinichols1847 Sweet. I am a small animal vet but I know from vet school how dirty and dusty one can get from working with large animals in a barn. These better days of actually getting paid to work have me showering before work so I don't offend clients. Enjoy your sauna!
I highly recommend a bidet toilet seat. I got one back during lockdown when people were hoarding toilet paper and I love it! As someone said in an online review, if you get "mud" anywhere else on your body - you wouldn't just use dry paper to clean it off, you'd use water! 🙂
Why don’t more doctors know about this? I saw at least 7 doctors who all stuck a finger up and said everything was fine - but I kept saying: I keep getting the urge to go and something pops out every time I do - and they all said that everything was fine ; they need to do a scan of my body whilst I poop to see what’s happening Eventually saw a private consultant who said “yeah you have haemorrhoids and they make you feel like you need to poop Job done. Simples
@@JohnDoeMS yeah, the same consultant originally said they’d go away on their own but my life was pure stress so they did not - so he sorted them out with surgery and fixed my prolapse and skin tag all in 1 Was off work for 3 weeks following surgery but back to normal again now - first time I’ve had a normal poo in over 6 years ☺️🙏 The main thing to do is just forget they’re there any way you can and not push or clench ever - numbing cream and stool softener - and just go about your everyday life (obviously if it hurts then slow down, take a seat, chill - but I kept thinking the worst and I think that made things slowly worse over the years. I didn’t have anyone who could relate or tell me what’s wrong so I just did what I could to stay comfortable and that mostly involved avoiding going out - in case I needed the loo whilst out and then I was stranded) Long ramble to say yes - I got surgical treatment after many years of using creams and trying to relax but to no avail; surgery worked but both me and the doctor wouldn’t recommend surgery unless nothing else worked
Severe fatigue illness complicates this as you literally CANT sit there for 20 mins, on the other hand you also want to avoid going back and forwards from bed to commode.
EXACTLY what I go thru all day ....everyday ! I believe anxiety has a little bit to do with it ..Ive tried everything as far as diet goes but no help ....Im never actually " constipated " , as far as the stool is soft when it first comes out ( after breakfast and coffee in the morning ) but the rest of the day I have the feeling I ( might ) need to go again . THAT WHEN it becomes hard to get out ...I sit for long periods of time and maybe get one piece out ..then feel like its complete ...only to feel the urge ten minutes later ..it really is exhausting ugh Glad to know im not the only one ugh getting OLD sucks ha ( Im 60 )
Sometimes after not going for 3 or 4 days and eating a lot of vegies/fiber, and having to push to get things started, it takes me a long time to feel voided. Getting up from the toilet and going back again, until finally feeling empty, and feeling good for the rest of the day.
Thank you Dr. Chung for your great vidoes. Always addressing relevant information that many surgeons don't know or don't have or take the time to explain. Also I found my video consults with you very helpful while I was out of country and having a very painful hemorrhoid flare and no access to a proctologist. Thank you for offering them.
You have a delightful and engaging way of talking about elimination. This is a topic I can relate to. Now I know why! Thanks!! I also noticed the conveyor belt effect. Of course, the more I eat, the more often that refilling of the rectum takes place. When I fast, the fecal flow to the rectum takes a break. Hint for those who are constipated or want to trigger evacuation, sexual fantasy relaxes the sphincter and eases elimination.
the internet is NOT BAD at giving good information, people are just bad at discerning the quality of information. way more people should learn how to judge the quality of a source, and should learn how to read studies, and to determine the quality of said studies.
That was me today when I was getting ready to go in for my Colonoscopy. I thought I had completed everything before I left home. I got to the office to go in for the procedure and I felt like there was more. I could not go. I was concerned about the Doctor starting because I thought I had more to go. All went well and he said I was clean. No issues.
This is excellent information, thank you Doctor. I wish i had this information years ago as i wouldn't be in the position i am now, 10 days post op after a haemorrhoidectomy, after 5 plus years of pain and discomfort. Great advice, thanks.
Overall i'm pleased with the results, thanks. No blood since the op and no pain after around two weeks post op, after years of suffering. Still a couple of minor issues, and keeping regular can sometimes be a problem, but the advice of Dr Chung has been a godsend. @@daleemmons36
Wow you saved us thank you for being so granular and giving amazing explanations! I wish I could give you more! I’ve done this my entire life and the docs and gastro never ever told me this. They just told me more fiber. You’re amazing! Wishing you a healthy new year! Maybe my H will finally go away someday with this new tactic… I just got off even though I had to go still. Guess what? Now I don’t have to! My mind is blown. 😮🎉🎉🎉❤
Probably should go to a doctor for it. There is a such thing as normal bowel movements and abnormal ones. Probably not a serious issue but it can be improved
Cant believe how much i have learned from you! Wish my doc explained things better! I live a long ways away. If I was anywhere near you I would switch doctors.
Love Dr. Chung's videos. He's an expert in his field, and so caring and compassionate! Dr. Chung, it would be great if you could do a video on fiber tips for patients who have had bowel/colon surgery (bowel resection) and abdominal adhesions forming post surgery, many times years later. Not all fibers are good for this situation, and a video explaining pros and cons of various fibers and fiber supplements for folks having been through bowel resection. Sometimes, fiber makes the situation worse, in which case low residue may be better for some. Perhaps in the future you can do a video on this subect! I struggle with this al the time. (I've had 2 bowel resections due to endometriosis that wrapped and strangled my colon. Had the "bag" in between surgeries. I'm lucky enough to still be here, as the first surgery for a ruptured colon resulted in severe life threatening sepsis. That was 20 years ago, and I'm still here, alive, healthy, and well!) Thanks for all of your videos, so informative! I enjoy them all!
Try more fibrous foods, more dark green leafy veggies, more water, and coffee with some caffeine. Also consume lots of healthy fats like avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, full fat butter, etc. Onions and garlic can help bec they are high in sulfur and magnesium. Try consuming mineral oil for periodic help. I like balance of nature fiber & spice supplement. It's hard to get down but seems to help my regularity. Alao consider raw ACV, and taking a good probiotic and digestive enzymes & tudca or bile salts. All those can help you develop a better microbial balance in your GI system and help you be more regular. Hope some of this helps!
Staying hydrated throughout the day will greatly help in not straining or forcing yourself to push. When you need to go it just all come out... at least until a certain age. 😂😂
Spot on this makes sense. Anxiety definitely can also cause constant pooing probably with diarrhoea. When your feeling well with no Piles, its normal poo and less often. I suffer from internal piles, and sometimes bleed before, after or during pooing. Sometimes bright red/pink blood with small thrombosed clot in it. What is that? My colonoscopy was all clear.
This explanation really helps me a lot.. So thankful, doc. Now, with that encouraging explanation, I am gonna beat the urge by standing after 5 minutes right away.^^ God bless you.^^
I don't have that problem... It takes me about 4 seconds to evacuate... sometimes a few secs longer if I am a little constipated. I never understood why so many other people spend so much time trying empty their colons into the shitter... With me on the other hand, it is the wiping process that can take me several minutes.
I just took laxatives ugh but I understand it better now. I ruined my entire day( more than once) Discussing w dr tomorrow- I HATE the feeling & am doing everything wrong:(😢
I never had hemorrhoids until a couple months ago, and this has been happening to me since I was a child. So it may be the reason for some people, but it's not why it happens to me.
I've had frequent tenesmus for at least most of my life, but complicated by the fact that I'm also gassy and subject to frequent diarrhea. A common occurrence to me is a relatively hard bowel movement followed within hours by a softer, wetter one (often preceded by hours of flatus), at which point it's hard to tell whether it's progressing to frank diarrhea.
After I went home from my appendix surgery (it exploded and spent a week in the hospital) and for a day or two - I would eat and have a movement within 5 minutes of eating. One of those days - went 7 times and I went 7 times. :) My ileum was really messed up to say the least.
can't believe Google/RUclips able to detect this habit of mine of taking too long on the toilet and suggesting this video. Doctor is correct with his explanation. If you take too long, a small amount of poop will want to come out.
I have been doucheing after a bowel movement for about 20yrs as I really don't want anything left behind and I can tell you even if you don't think there is more left behind trust me there is and after doing this procedure I do each time I do a bowel movement you will feel much much better and completely done, my primary dr. claims it's not healthy to do all the time but it's worth it and you will feel much better, besides why would anyone want to leave anything inside and carry it around till next time,I dont.
After I wake up within 15 mins I always have to poop, and then when I get done and walk around about 10 mins more and get coffee, I always have to go poop a 2nd time. and sometimes a 3rd time, every morning and then I don't go the rest of the day. I don't understand why it doesn't just all come down at the same time.?
You're stimulating your anus or rectum or w.e with that coffee for sure. I'm the same way.. atleast I was until a recent issue messed it up.. My point is be happy you can go and don't walk around with the feeling that you have to go 24/7 because that's what I'm dealing with right now and it fuggin sucks
I never had this problem before I got my colonoscopy. Medicare made me have one and I haven’t been the same since. I wonder what the hell they did to me? Before the procedure, I went once a day every morning. Now I go several times a day and often have to get up in the middle of the night. This has been my experience with most surgeries I have had, I always end up worse than I was before I went in. WTF.
When you get a colonoscopy you sort of wipe out your natural gut microbiome along the way. You may have had a healthy microbiome prior to your colonoscopy and now it's been thrown off kilter. Dr. William Davis has written a book called "Super Gut," which provides many strategies to restore a microbiome back to being healthy.
I just learned that my hemorrhoids simply do not work the way all the rest of you folks experience. I never feel that "fullness" or notice anything like that at ALL after poopin'. When I'm done, I know it. And if I feel a round 2, it's definitely time to poop again. lol Really feel sorry for some of you folks going through this. This is a great channel and a great doctor. Glad I ran across this.
The older you get, the more your life revolves around poop.
That was funny but so true after thinking about what u said I can't stop laughing.
True
Poop Oppresses Older People
And pee too if you’re a man, lol.
Did you know that 95% of serotonin is produced in the gut? It’s more like the older you get, the more you realize your mindset and therefore your general life is controlled by your poop.
This guy is so sweet, wishing everyone’s butts well and swift healing. 😂
right? I need to get a new proctologist because mine always hopes mine gets torn to shreds and tries to put a witch's curse on it
why do I keep going back? because he also gives out scratch-n-sniff stickers when you're done, so it's hard to not recommend him
I know I felt that when he said it 😂😂
Short version: Nerves in the butt detect pressure (among other things), but can't tell the difference between pressure from swelling and pressure from actual poop. Also, the colon is constantly pushing more poop, a little at a time, into the rectum.

Wtf the thought of a female doing number 2 just made me feel physically sick… since when do you guys do this.. 🤢
Is it even possible?
This is a better explanation than any doctor I’ve asked about it or anything I’ve found from internet searching
Your videos have helped me so much. Thank you for being frank and honest and for normalizing talking about something that we all do but never talk about even when we need to. And for being approachable and funny while you’re at it.
I must say that the absence of clipped pauses is refreshing. You speak naturally and actually take breaths. Excellent videos.

That was me today when I was getting ready to go in for my Colonoscopy. I thought I had completed everything before I left home. I got to the office to go in for the procedure and I felt like there was more. I could not go. I was concerned about the Doctor starting because I thought I had more to go. All went well and he said I was clean. No issues.
This is excellent information, thank you Doctor. I wish i had this information years ago as i wouldn't be in the position i am now, 10 days post op after a haemorrhoidectomy, after 5 plus years of pain and discomfort. Great advice, thanks.
Now that it's been 4 months, how did your recovery go?
Overall i'm pleased with the results, thanks. No blood since the op and no pain after around two weeks post op, after years of suffering. Still a couple of minor issues, and keeping regular can sometimes be a problem, but the advice of Dr Chung has been a godsend. @@daleemmons36
I got some Pranicura coming soon, cant wait. Thanks for your help Doctor, your knowledge and wisdom helps everyone live a better life.
Is that a prescription ? But do you actually use that for hemmoriods ?
Excelent explanation!! VERY logical and helpful. I wish some other doctor explained it to me years ago. Thanks Dr. Chung.
Second chance is a gamble, sometimes we can win, sometime lose, 😅😅😅. We agree and we should try to avoid second chance. Thanks.
Wow you saved us thank you for being so granular and giving amazing explanations! I wish I could give you more! I’ve done this my entire life and the docs and gastro never ever told me this. They just told me more fiber. You’re amazing! Wishing you a healthy new year! Maybe my H will finally go away someday with this new tactic… I just got off even though I had to go still. Guess what? Now I don’t have to! My mind is blown. 😮🎉🎉🎉❤
You're the best, the way you communicate is wonderful. Rally easy to understand you and yes you're the friendly doctor I ever heard about hehe.
I always have more to go. It just won't come out all at once
Sameeee...y
Probably should go to a doctor for it. There is a such thing as normal bowel movements and abnormal ones. Probably not a serious issue but it can be improved
I experience the same thing. the only difference is that I feel slight abdominal pain too.
Cant believe how much i have learned from you! Wish my doc explained things better! I live a long ways away. If I was anywhere near you I would switch doctors.
4:45 when he said "butt the big butt here is" all I could think was "the big butt here is the one you're sitting on" Lol.
Not only informative, but entertaining as well.
I’m 70 and have had problems my entire life. My huge hemorrhoids fool me every time!
Great content doc. Please consider adding diagrams or animations to elucidate your explanations.
This subject makes for a great dinner conversation.
After watching this video I canceled my upcoming wedding
Love Dr. Chung's videos. He's an expert in his field, and so caring and compassionate! Dr. Chung, it would be great if you could do a video on fiber tips for patients who have had bowel/colon surgery (bowel resection) and abdominal adhesions forming post surgery, many times years later. Not all fibers are good for this situation, and a video explaining pros and cons of various fibers and fiber supplements for folks having been through bowel resection. Sometimes, fiber makes the situation worse, in which case low residue may be better for some. Perhaps in the future you can do a video on this subect! I struggle with this al the time. (I've had 2 bowel resections due to endometriosis that wrapped and strangled my colon. Had the "bag" in between surgeries. I'm lucky enough to still be here, as the first surgery for a ruptured colon resulted in severe life threatening sepsis. That was 20 years ago, and I'm still here, alive, healthy, and well!) Thanks for all of your videos, so informative! I enjoy them all!
Im never empty, always feel like i have to go and it hurts
Try more fibrous foods, more dark green leafy veggies, more water, and coffee with some caffeine. Also consume lots of healthy fats like avocado oil, coconut oil, olive oil, full fat butter, etc. Onions and garlic can help bec they are high in sulfur and magnesium. Try consuming mineral oil for periodic help. I like balance of nature fiber & spice supplement. It's hard to get down but seems to help my regularity. Alao consider raw ACV, and taking a good probiotic and digestive enzymes & tudca or bile salts. All those can help you develop a better microbial balance in your GI system and help you be more regular.
Hope some of this helps!
Thanks God. I got the answer from this video. Thank you so much Dr.Chung
Staying hydrated throughout the day will greatly help in not straining or forcing yourself to push. When you need to go it just all come out... at least until a certain age. 😂😂
Wow this explains everything thank you! You are a gem! Happy new year!
I did the wipe situation you said in a video and you were right it’s so much easier with external hemerroids
Spot on this makes sense. Anxiety definitely can also cause constant pooing probably with diarrhoea. When your feeling well with no Piles, its normal poo and less often. I suffer from internal piles, and sometimes bleed before, after or during pooing. Sometimes bright red/pink blood with small thrombosed clot in it. What is that? My colonoscopy was all clear.
This explanation really helps me a lot.. So thankful, doc. Now, with that encouraging explanation, I am gonna beat the urge by standing after 5 minutes right away.^^ God bless you.^^
I just dropped by to comment that I took the most perfect Euclidean poop this morning. Smooth and well rounded and I’m darn proud of it!
🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
Thank you very much for all the great information on tough subjects
I had the same question and you answered it perfectly. Now i know what's happening Thank You Dr. Chung
I don't have that problem... It takes me about 4 seconds to evacuate... sometimes a few secs longer if I am a little constipated. I never understood why so many other people spend so much time trying empty their colons into the shitter... With me on the other hand, it is the wiping process that can take me several minutes.
I sit on the toilet for 9 minutes and 39 seconds because I need to finish this video
I just took laxatives ugh but I understand it better now. I ruined my entire day( more than once) Discussing w dr tomorrow- I HATE the feeling & am doing everything wrong:(😢
I never had hemorrhoids until a couple months ago, and this has been happening to me since I was a child. So it may be the reason for some people, but it's not why it happens to me.
It’s always like that on my period I poop and think I relived myself but I still feel it💀
This is why standing is the superior form of wiping.
Thanks for the info Dr. Chung, youda best proctologist ever! Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Watching this while on the toilet. Thanks, Doc.
I've had frequent tenesmus for at least most of my life, but complicated by the fact that I'm also gassy and subject to frequent diarrhea. A common occurrence to me is a relatively hard bowel movement followed within hours by a softer, wetter one (often preceded by hours of flatus), at which point it's hard to tell whether it's progressing to frank diarrhea.
imagine not having youtube and having a real discussion with a doctor about this
Thank you for TMI! Butt seriously, I doo appreciate the hole truth!
What if there is? Such a maddening feeling either way
What I learned here the most is that there is a conveyor belt in there. Now I know.
After I went home from my appendix surgery (it exploded and spent a week in the hospital) and for a day or two - I would eat and have a movement within 5 minutes of eating. One of those days - went 7 times and I went 7 times. :) My ileum was really messed up to say the least.
It’s often when I stand up I feel like I have to poop again
Another excellent explanation!
I am not a doctor , but have heard anecdotally that impacted fecal matter can cause the same problem. Makes sense too..
You sound like you are describing me.Thanks for the informative video.
Thank you for being kind.
Dr Chung thank you so much for all your incredible information thank you so for making it so easy to understand 🎉
Bro I’ve been stressing changing my diet etc they need to teach this stuff in school
can't believe Google/RUclips able to detect this habit of mine of taking too long on the toilet and suggesting this video. Doctor is correct with his explanation. If you take too long, a small amount of poop will want to come out.
I have been doucheing after a bowel movement for about 20yrs as I really don't want anything left behind and I can tell you even if you don't think there is more left behind trust me there is and after doing this procedure I do each time I do a bowel movement you will feel much much better and completely done, my primary dr. claims it's not healthy to do all the time but it's worth it and you will feel much better, besides why would anyone want to leave anything inside and carry it around till next time,I dont.
My problem for years has been taking Tums at night. This causes incomplete evacuation. Stop Tums, normal poops.
our rectum does basic math. but not complex math. lol but that analogy made so much sense
Alhumdulillaha, Thanks doctor I was searching an answer for this exact issue
I'll never thank you enough Dr.
I like the title of your channel. If nothing else I sure hope that a proctologist is friendly!
Thank you so much for this very thorough explanation.
After I wake up within 15 mins I always have to poop, and then when I get done and walk around about 10 mins more and get coffee, I always have to go poop a 2nd time. and sometimes a 3rd time, every morning and then I don't go the rest of the day. I don't understand why it doesn't just all come down at the same time.?
You're stimulating your anus or rectum or w.e with that coffee for sure.
I'm the same way.. atleast I was until a recent issue messed it up..
My point is be happy you can go and don't walk around with the feeling that you have to go 24/7 because that's what I'm dealing with right now and it fuggin sucks
I never had this problem before I got my colonoscopy. Medicare made me have one and I haven’t been the same since. I wonder what the hell they did to me? Before the procedure, I went once a day every morning. Now I go several times a day and often have to get up in the middle of the night. This has been my experience with most surgeries I have had, I always end up worse than I was before I went in. WTF.
When you get a colonoscopy you sort of wipe out your natural gut microbiome along the way. You may have had a healthy microbiome prior to your colonoscopy and now it's been thrown off kilter. Dr. William Davis has written a book called "Super Gut," which provides many strategies to restore a microbiome back to being healthy.
Thank you so much for making this video You have a great way of Talking about it. And a really calm voice. We really need more Dr like you
After watching this video I canceled my upcoming wedding
I just learned that my hemorrhoids simply do not work the way all the rest of you folks experience. I never feel that "fullness" or notice anything like that at ALL after poopin'. When I'm done, I know it. And if I feel a round 2, it's definitely time to poop again. lol Really feel sorry for some of you folks going through this. This is a great channel and a great doctor. Glad I ran across this.
