The most critical factor for a flawless defecation on a regular basis is high quality deep Sleep. That is when peristalsis is flawless and your para sympathetic nervous system at its best in modulating MMC - migrating motor complex. Some of the stuff I've discovered that helps immensely. 1. Electrolytes and Hydration - potassium (critical), magnesium (important), salt (important), water intake (important,). 2. Amino acids - L-tryptophan (serotonin is critical for bowel motility), Glycine, Taurine (for bile, bile is critical for fecal volume, color, detoxification , and motility). 3. Methylation - B vitamins esp B6, folate, B12 and B3 influence bile output, detox pathways, bowel motility patterns. 4. Prebiotic fiber and polyphenols - help synthesise SCFA's that directly promote integrity of large bowel lining and act as fuel source- you could consider entric coated butyrate also. 5. Physical activity - critical to support blood circulation to your entire gut - Brisk walking, keggel, and stretching ezcersises of pelvic and abdominal reigion. 6. Finally Deep therapeutic Sleep - Avoid carbs/sugars/alcohol/caffeine/blue light at night , ++ potassium, magnesium, glycine, tryptophan, theanine, myo-inositol, folate.
@@tamilynedwards8388That's so true! Try a little warm water with fresh squeezed lemon juice & a little olive oil in the morning & some magnesium at night as well as getting enough Vitamin Bs & C. Eat GARLIC & SAUERKRAUT on a REGULAR basis & get enough GREENS but NOT TOO much. Walk & MOVE your body stay away from BIG FOOD & BIG PHARMA to keep your GUT HEALTHY, eat healthy & smaller food portions & DRINK liquids 30 minutes BEFORE meals & 2 hours AFTER & just try to do things in MODERATION & try to RELAX a little bit too. ❤🍋🌍
I agree. And while all of these things may be healthy and beneficial to regularity, it doesn't explain why so many people who eat very imbalanced diets don't suffer from chronic constipation while others who are very diet and lifestyle conscious have to put in so much effort to go regularly. Something doesn't add up.@tamilynedwards8388
My whold life I suffered with constipation. In 2009 I completely changed lifestyle to a whole foods low-fat diet, plenty of exercise and vegetables. My constipation worsened. I went through years of pain in my digestive tract, trying everything. Until I cut vegetables out and went on a high fat carnivore diet and prolonged fasting. It healed my gut quickly and I have never felt better! No more gut pain or constipation- unless I add in too many veggies or seasonings. For me, high fat carnivore and fasting keeps me feeling light and energetic!!
@@peachy_reina chicken, but the main help is drinking lots of water and exercise. Also stretching helps especially lower body stretching. It helps relax and gets your anus to become more stretchable for stools to come out without causing bleeding of it.
Dr Dr B. You are the ONLY person who says that eating veggies may not be the best thing - Thank you. The more veggies I eat the worse it gets (and I love my veggies a lot) - I don't even mention it to my GP as I know they wouldn't believe me. In fact, the less veggies I eat the better it gets. Thank you for your informations and intelligence and for passing this information to us.
OMG, yes! I eat a salad and I feel so heavy! I don't eat eat it much and definitely stay away from whole grains! Still, If I go 2x a week, I am lucky. But I feel it's always been like this for me. So I brush it off.

@@DrbergI had constipation for 7 to 10 years. Took magnesium oxide every day. Then it flipped to IBS-D for another 7 years. It looks like I had a thiamine deficiency. I had Raynaud's Syndrome by 15.

bodies are specific. i was battling constipation all my life, severe constipation last 4 years (bowel movement 1 a week or less).. started eating more meat (not keto), low-carbohydrate diet, gluten free, soy free, dairy free (replacing all wheat, soy, oats, corn with legumes and nuts). Only quinoa once a week. If i eat pasta I eat lentil or bean pasta only. I eat low carbohydrate/keto bread. for me the difference is soluble and insoluble fiber.. beans made me poop finally.. i eat lots of veggies (cooked mostly, little amounts of salad - but that is all insoluble fiber). i take magnesium citrate one every 2 days. also drink 2 liters of water. and somehow it started to work. i was bloated at first from beans..but much much less when i do not eat other carbs with them like i used too. so beans, cooked veggies and meat. and nuts. my texture and frequency changed to normal. i still see difference within my menstrual cycle as i suspect that my digestion fluctuates with my hormones..and since i am pre-menopause and hashimoto my hormones are a mess... working on it... at least i am pooping regularly which helps with estrogen excess.. (i have fibroids too)...ah it never ends.. but beans and legumes and nuts seem to be working for me. and low carb. and walking and moving every day without exception.

I've always had constipation, but lately I've been regular. I think with me it's the seed oils. I make my own dressings and mayo now for salads. I also been eating full fat plain skyr. I add maybe a tablespoon of chia seed, a few walnuts, and some berries. Also added a supplement, Magnesium Glycinate. I feel so much better in my digestion.

I'm told I have Parkinson's, and for over a year I have had constipation. Two scans showed no blockage just constipation. However, two ERs and one GI doctor told me there was nothing they could or wouldn't help me. My view on this Medicare is rationing care. I over time have tried several over-the-counter meds and suggestions from other sufferers, and nothing. I do walk a mile daily. This condition became worse and I went hardcore and now drink two liters of room-temperature water over the day. After five I drink a laxative called Magnesium Citrate, sometime later I start purging watery stool four or five times. I do this every third day and I'm eating a lot less. The bad part I have to structure the day around this method. The good I have lost eight pounds over several weeks. After researching Parkinson's I discovered it affects the "autonomic system". It's in the brain and it is what makes the heartbeat your breathing and of course BMs without you having to think about it. Any readers of my post research drinking large amounts of water. It can be toxic to your kidneys.
Also try 2 Tblsp of Evoo, 2Tblsp of Epsom salt, 2Tblesp of Oj or grapefruit juice 3-5 cups start at 9pm 🕘 lay on your right side for 15minutes then start your 2cup on right side for 15min , start on your 3rd cup on your right side, then on your 4th cup you don’t have lag on your right side anymore. This will method will cleanse your Gallbladder and empty your stomach it’s powerful and relieve you for sure& feel better ❤️🩹 stay home. When trying this.
@@beckyholbrook7253 I eat a quarter cup every day. I’ve been eating this for over a year now. Said goodbye to digestive enzymes, Gas X, etc. Frank’s Kraut in the big glass jar, not tin. I also drink Kefir original flavor only daily. My gut has never felt better.
Castor oil works 100 percent, but it’s said it weakens natural peristalsis . I take Chinese herbs for my spleen and liver as well. Eat grass fed beef , fish etc organic vegetables,a little basmati rice , organic oats , Asian pear, etc . Need more info on castor oil.I take prebiotic fiber as well. 68
I was going to a gastrologist and it was always fiber, fiber supplements, and a medication. All the different medications I tried were way too powerful and I noticed it only made things worse in the long run. I couldn't drink smoothies or eat vegetables without feeling sick. Since my doctor had no further suggestions/ help; I eventually realized it was inflammation. I got better but stress is getting me again. Thank you for putting real helpful information out!

Amazing information Dr Berg I have cut down on veggies as I was troubled with leaky gut being a vegetarian, thankfully i have no trouble now and so thankful for this video.
wow.. You are reading my mind.. I've been getting more constipated for the last month and I have taken a break from keto/IF (still doing lowish carbs but not counting carbs) but have been eating a lot more veggies a lot of which in raw form like broccoli and carrots and also salads. time to jump back on the wagon.
Not doing a 12M celebration video shows how humble this person is... Go, Dr. Berg! Edit: I'd be surprised if he didn't do it in the near future. He might have just didn't have the time.
@@Drberg It is kind of apparent that you will be a man left to be known in history. You should lay to rest that you've reached that title now, haha.

Slippery Elm and vitamin Chas helped me a lot along with your other recommendations. And the only bread I consume is Ezekiel in moderation. I’ve found your recommendations to work for me
Thank you Dr Berg for such a wonderful and educational video. You are making a difference in our lives. We get many health benefits from your videos. Many blessings !!
This video I can relate to. I have an auto immune disease called PSC (primary sclerotic cholengitis) and constipation was a problem. Fast forward my best friends are sauerkraut, goat kefir and GFGF beef chunk. Thank you Dr. Berg
Dr. Berg you are soooo good at this. I don't have a gallbladder and have suffered chronic constipation. I implemented your Gallbladder system amongst other things and it's been a game changer.
When I stopped eating organic steel cut oatmeal, I stopped having a bowel movement. Oatmeal keeps me regular. Sorry, it’s the only thing that keeps me moving. Since, I rinse and soak the oats… most of the phytic acid and lectins are eliminated.
Can you make a video about how we can make absolutely sure that our colons are completely cleaned out and no dried feces are remaining on the colon wall? Please?
Hello Dr. Berg - thanks for the video! Over the last week I’ve been intermittent fasting until about 12:30pm or so, and I am less hungry, more energetic and have way more time on my hands now. My digestion has done a 180 and I feel much lighter and in control of my hunger and temptation. I was having issues with constipation, and I believe the fasting played a role in remedying this. But the game changer was cutting out cheese! I thought cheese would benefit my gut health, but cutting it out has been a life changing experience!!
Hi Dr. Berg! I started ACV and now this has helped alot. Still having trouble with that darn gall bladder! My tummy does feel better but, Its only been 2nd week and still a bit bloated.😊
Thank you! I’ve started carnivore and the results are showing, but there’s plenty to repair I find. I appreciate this timely message! Thank you, always!
I recently began to prepare and eat natto and _lo and behold!_ I noticed a _very_ noticeable change for the better in elimination. Then yesterday while researching the nutritional benefits of natto, I read that this is a reported benefit as well. _What do you know?!_
It is impossible to have constipation issues if you eat a healthy amount of Canary/Yellow beans daily. I had constipation issues all my life and now that I'm 61 years old I have found what works for me. By the way, Yellow beans are by far the best tasting beans you have ever put in your mouth.
I am surprised that you did not mention Chia seeds. I soak 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in a glass of water then drink it down. I go the next day reliably and without urgency. You should try it!

For me, I fixed my constipation by just eating organic oatmeal every morning. I can’t skip a day. This keeps me regular with no constipation. I also add blueberries and walnuts as well as Kefir. That’s it. We are all biochemically unique, so this may or may not work for you.
Thank you Dr. Berg but I think I'm constipated because of the meds I take. I do intermittent fasting and it is good for me. I also take magnesium, probiotics and enzymes. I do get relief but sometimes I feel bloated and take pills for constipation but I will try to stay away from it. I'm 70 years young.

Hi Dr Berg. Does intermittent fasting not slow gut motility and therefore lead to more constipation? Also are you no longer doing 7-10 cup salads daily?
Again lunch and dinner for intermittent fasting. Some time ago breakfast and dinner were favorite. I have come to lunch and dinner myself because it's easier to handle, but I thought it is second best choice.
i had it my TCM doctor told me it was dehidration, which i could not understand at the time that he ment the hydration of the cells so no amount of drinking would help so he recomeded electrolites which i started useing, it took a while but it worked.

The most critical factor for a flawless defecation on a regular basis is high quality deep Sleep. That is when peristalsis is flawless and your para sympathetic nervous system at its best in modulating MMC - migrating motor complex.
Some of the stuff I've discovered that helps immensely.
1. Electrolytes and Hydration - potassium (critical), magnesium (important), salt (important), water intake (important,).
2. Amino acids - L-tryptophan (serotonin is critical for bowel motility), Glycine, Taurine (for bile, bile is critical for fecal volume, color, detoxification , and motility).
3. Methylation - B vitamins esp B6, folate, B12 and B3 influence bile output, detox pathways, bowel motility patterns.
4. Prebiotic fiber and polyphenols - help synthesise SCFA's that directly promote integrity of large bowel lining and act as fuel source- you could consider entric coated butyrate also.
5. Physical activity - critical to support blood circulation to your entire gut - Brisk walking, keggel, and stretching ezcersises of pelvic and abdominal reigion.
6. Finally Deep therapeutic Sleep - Avoid carbs/sugars/alcohol/caffeine/blue light at night , ++ potassium, magnesium, glycine, tryptophan, theanine, myo-inositol, folate.

The bad part I have to structure the day around this method. The good I have lost eight pounds over several weeks. After researching Parkinson's I discovered it affects the "autonomic system". It's in the brain and it is what makes the heartbeat your breathing and of course BMs without you having to think about it. Any readers of my post research drinking large amounts of water. It can be toxic to your kidneys.
If you cant go Nr 2 try fermented green plums or castor oil
Plums, olive oil, extra Virgini. and Papaya ..
Also try 2 Tblsp of Evoo, 2Tblsp of Epsom salt, 2Tblesp of Oj or grapefruit juice 3-5 cups start at 9pm 🕘 lay on your right side for 15minutes then start your 2cup on right side for 15min , start on your 3rd cup on your right side, then on your 4th cup you don’t have lag on your right side anymore. This will method will cleanse your Gallbladder and empty your stomach it’s powerful and relieve you for sure& feel better ❤️🩹 stay home. When trying this.
Thanks for your continuous helpful content, Dr Berg ❤😊
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
Yup. Sauerkraut every day truly is a superfood. Healed my gut and no more gas.
What brand do you use?
@@davinehill3448 Needs to be raw, not pasteurised
How much sauerkraut
@@beckyholbrook7253 I eat a quarter cup every day. I’ve been eating this for over a year now. Said goodbye to digestive enzymes, Gas X, etc. Frank’s Kraut in the big glass jar, not tin. I also drink Kefir original flavor only daily. My gut has never felt better.
I forgot to add that I initially ate a half cup of sauerkraut a day when I first started……
Very timely and valuable information. In addition to my IF I will add HCL and bring in some sauerkraut. Thank you for the explanation and tips!!
You are welcome, glad it helps.
One spoon of Olive oil in the morning Prevent constipation
Thanks for sharing!
@@Drberg does this help?
This is what I do. Drink olive oil mixed with water every morning before going to the toilet. Never had constipation again.
Mark Hyman, MD in one of his books recommends starting the day with a mix of olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon.
Castor oil at night. Olive oil in morning
Castor oil works 100 percent, but it’s said it weakens natural peristalsis . I take Chinese herbs for my spleen and liver as well. Eat grass fed beef , fish etc organic vegetables,a little basmati rice , organic oats , Asian pear, etc . Need more info on castor oil.I take prebiotic fiber as well. 68
I was going to a gastrologist and it was always fiber, fiber supplements, and a medication. All the different medications I tried were way too powerful and I noticed it only made things worse in the long run. I couldn't drink smoothies or eat vegetables without feeling sick. Since my doctor had no further suggestions/ help; I eventually realized it was inflammation. I got better but stress is getting me again. Thank you for putting real helpful information out!
Inflammation from eating bad foods or just mainly from stress?
Mostly stress.
@@beccalynne8492 see I know my constipation is mostly from me being stressed and anxious but I'm stressed out because I'm backed up 😭🤣 how'd you manage your stress and help relax your stomach? ❣️
Thank you, Dear Dr. Berg. That was perfect as always
Olive oil and dried organic prunes soaked overnight, eating them and drinking the juice in the morning
How many prunes ? Does drinking the olive oil upset your tummy ? Thanks
Amazing information Dr Berg I have cut down on veggies as I was troubled with leaky gut being a vegetarian, thankfully i have no trouble now and so thankful for this video.
Thank you Dr berg…❤❤❤..I’m constipated right now.
I'm glad I could assist you.
wow.. You are reading my mind.. I've been getting more constipated for the last month and I have taken a break from keto/IF (still doing lowish carbs but not counting carbs) but have been eating a lot more veggies a lot of which in raw form like broccoli and carrots and also salads. time to jump back on the wagon.
Usually I don’t have a problem. Idk why but I could’ve used this a couple of hours ago.
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing another interesting video. May God blessed you and your family!
Happy that you found it useful!
Not doing a 12M celebration video shows how humble this person is... Go, Dr. Berg! Edit: I'd be surprised if he didn't do it in the near future. He might have just didn't have the time.
Really appreciate the support, thanks for watching!
@@Drberg It is kind of apparent that you will be a man left to be known in history. You should lay to rest that you've reached that title now, haha. I just don't have words to say because of how proud I am to see what a human being can become. You are marvelous, Dr. Berg. Wish the best for you and your whole team!
Slippery Elm and vitamin Chas helped me a lot along with your other recommendations. And the only bread I consume is Ezekiel in moderation.
I’ve found your recommendations to work for me
Great to know, keep up the good work.
I like Ezekiel bread too.
Do you take slippery elm with vitamin c together?
What brand of Slippery Elm you use I was just looking this up a couple days ago. Thinking of purchasing it.
Thank you Dr Berg for such a wonderful and educational video. You are making a difference in our lives. We get many health benefits from your videos. Many blessings !!
Please do a video on Homeopathy and Vaccines.
Don't think he can do vaccine he be cancelled 😊

Walking and Ginger Tea seem to work good for this too.

My 80-year-old mum drinks a glass of very warm water, and it works, too, for her.

Attaboy! 😂
Half a shot of apple cider vinegar works well too
This video I can relate to. I have an auto immune disease called PSC (primary sclerotic cholengitis) and constipation was a problem. Fast forward my best friends are sauerkraut, goat kefir and GFGF beef chunk. Thank you Dr. Berg

So real
So why watch if u already doing...thought this was if u can't 😅
💩💩💩👍🏻🤣
Me too
Dr Berg I can't thank you enough for all the valuble information! You are like a walking Google! Bless you!
I found the fix for leaky gut ❤. Eyes mind heart and soul wide open. NO FEAR !❤
Dr. Berg you are soooo good at this. I don't have a gallbladder and have suffered chronic constipation. I implemented your Gallbladder system amongst other things and it's been a game changer.
I don’t have a gallbladder either what are you taking?
When I stopped eating organic steel cut oatmeal, I stopped having a bowel movement.
Oatmeal keeps me regular.
Sorry, it’s the only thing that keeps me moving.
Since, I rinse and soak the oats… most of the phytic acid and lectins are eliminated.
Thanks for your insightful videos, Dr Berg. Excellent content.
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
Castor oil is amazing, Dr Berg. Thank you ❤
You got it!
How do you use it?
how do you use castor oil?
Coconut milk (from a can) in a triple espresso. You’re welcome
Can you make a video about how we can make absolutely sure that our colons are completely cleaned out and no dried feces are remaining on the colon wall? Please?
Enema, but not something you require daily, just let your body sort it out.
Hello, this blog article might have data for you 👉 www.drberg.com/blog/colon-cleansing-my-opinion
I had a colonoscopy and the pictures came back as you just described.
Fermented green plums is the answer.
Things will come out of your body...it's disgusting😅 Those stones...
2-3 days max is enough.
@@whoknows8223where can we find fermented green plums or how to make it ?
THANK YOU DR BERG FOR THIS POWERFUL INFORMATION. I DO NUMBER 2 AND SOME TIME NUMBER 3 DAILY. GOD BLESS YOU DR. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BLESSINGS 🙏🙏🙏

Hello Dr. Berg - thanks for the video! Over the last week I’ve been intermittent fasting until about 12:30pm or so, and I am less hungry, more energetic and have way more time on my hands now. My digestion has done a 180 and I feel much lighter and in control of my hunger and temptation. I was having issues with constipation, and I believe the fasting played a role in remedying this. But the game changer was cutting out cheese! I thought cheese would benefit my gut health, but cutting it out has been a life changing experience!!
Thank you Dr. Berg great information 🥰🙏
You are welcome, glad it helps.
Hi Dr. Berg! I started ACV and now this has helped alot. Still having trouble with that darn gall bladder! My tummy does feel better but, Its only been 2nd week and still a bit bloated.😊
Fasting helped me
Great!
Red rum(not the white rum) with dinner is helpful in a smooth transfer of bowels from intestines to pot.
Dr berg thank you🙏
Thank you! I’ve started carnivore and the results are showing, but there’s plenty to repair I find. I appreciate this timely message! Thank you, always!
I go once a week on Keto. Saving me a fortune on wipes :D
Looking forward to everyone's and doctors' support
I always watch a Dr Berg video while having a No 2.
However I do wish he would upload more RUclips shorts for my No 1's
❤
😂
I recently began to prepare and eat natto and _lo and behold!_ I noticed a _very_ noticeable change for the better in elimination. Then yesterday while researching the nutritional benefits of natto, I read that this is a reported benefit as well. _What do you know?!_
bro i just had this issue and he posts it 😭😂 bro really is reading our minds
I know! Same here. Uncanny.
What’s with this “bro” can’t you be bothered to speak English?
@@davidkennedy8929 why you so mad about how i speak 😂
It is impossible to have constipation issues if you eat a healthy amount of Canary/Yellow beans daily. I had constipation issues all my life and now that I'm 61 years old I have found what works for me. By the way, Yellow beans are by far the best tasting beans you have ever put in your mouth.
My digestive system is a lot better since limiting grains, bread and eating sauerkraut regularly.
Thank you for your sharing this ❤❤❤
I am surprised that you did not mention Chia seeds. I soak 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in a glass of water then drink it down. I go the next day reliably and without urgency. You should try it!
Thanks for sharing this tip!
Do u drink just the water ? Or seeds too ? Thanks

5 session it's not enough just keep going ,microneedling is the best way to remove scars , try evry 3 weeks for a year, it's long process ,5 times it's a good start

You are very welcome, glad it is helpful. Wishing you both good health.
Thanks dr berg 😊
Very welcome!
Thank you, Doctor Berg!!
Most welcome!
For me, I fixed my constipation by just eating organic oatmeal every morning. I can’t skip a day. This keeps me regular with no constipation.
I also add blueberries and walnuts as well as Kefir. That’s it.
We are all biochemically unique, so this may or may not work for you.
Thank you, Dr. Berg 😊
You're most welcome!
🤔What about Kefir? Isn't it fabulous for gut health? Should I consume it for constipation?
Thank you Dr. Berg but I think I'm constipated because of the meds I take. I do intermittent fasting and it is good for me. I also take magnesium, probiotics and enzymes. I do get relief but sometimes I feel bloated and take pills for constipation but I will try to stay away from it. I'm 70 years young.
Grounding mat .,help me a lot
How interesting, can you elaborate please? 💞
Kiwis, prunes also flaxseed ( not sure if Dr Berg would approve...)
Oatmeal did me in and ended up in hospital with 3 blockages. I stay away from all grains now.
Understood, hope you are feeling better.
I eat oat, I'm very healthy!! I'm 73 now, running 6-10km on the street and do 100+ push up and other exercise everyday, so what wrong with oat ?!?! Oh, my blood pressure is 115/75
Thank you so much Dr. Berg I bile was taking off and I have been troubles serious problems
My nephews family doctor told his mom, too much iron from leafy greens cause and make constipation worse.
Thank you dr Berg for your excellent work!
You are very welcome, thanks for watching.
milk of magnesia (magnesium oxide) is the only thing i've found that works for me and i've tried it all
Do you take it regularly?
Magnesium is really helpful for me
what type of magnesium and mg please help I'm suffering
@@bryannamuco1805
Magnesium Oxide 250mg
Use as directed on the label. Start with one and increase as needed. As its directed. disclaimer- I’m not a doctor. So follow the instructions and talk to the pharmacist
Dr Berg as always your advices are to the point. What king of MG...citrate, bisglycinate? Thank you!!

I remember taking senna tea and feeling feverish. I’m sticking to preventing constipation in hopes I never need senna tea!
I've been taking senna tea almost everyday for a year and there is nothing wrong with me . I guess depends on the person .
@@CAdams93 i tried to weaken the tea, but it didn’t give me the “Smooth Move Tea” effect. I was also told not to take it every day in hopes of weight loss. Good health to you!
@@G-gnome I've been taking it for a long time . I lost a lot of weight , eat healthier and I do intermittent fasting. I drink it to maintain my weight.
@@CAdams93I’m at my wits end and want to try this . Sick of pills ! Is it safe to do daily ? And do u just take 1 teabag / day ?
Thanks !
@@SM-zm5hz it's been safe to me and I take it everyday. I take one bag daily. You just have to find the best time to take it because some people will go to the bathroom all day and some will go once a day. I take mine in the morning , that way I'm going to the bathroom throughout the day but some people drink the tea at night before bed , that way they're using the bathroom the next morning , but it could have you waking up throughout your sleep. The most danger I see this tea causing is dehydration. You can fix that by drinking a lot of water.
Thank you for this video I have been dealing with chronic constipation for yrs, saw many experts who wanted to put in a colostomy. No way! I’ve changed my diet which helped & will try the Vit. B1 & magnesium
Very glad you find this helpful!
“Used in propellants for missiles” 😂

Due to 6% bone loss in my left hip discovered during bone density test, I am required to take massive quantities of calcium and Vitamin D. This was very timely for me.Thank you Dr. Berg!
Hi Dr Berg. Does intermittent fasting not slow gut motility and therefore lead to more constipation? Also are you no longer doing 7-10 cup salads daily?
Again lunch and dinner for intermittent fasting. Some time ago breakfast and dinner were favorite. I have come to lunch and dinner myself because it's easier to handle, but I thought it is second best choice.
Glad it works for you!
i had it my TCM doctor told me it was dehidration, which i could not understand at the time that he ment the hydration of the cells so no amount of drinking would help so he recomeded electrolites which i started useing, it took a while but it worked.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Dr.BERG!!
You're so welcome!
I had constipation due to low levels of acetylcholine. It got so bad, my poo was coming out like marbles.
I read that marbles meant low water.
I also am doing this! I will try taking some.😊
