My father age 86 vomitted and there was blood in it . He was hospitalised . Got endoscopy done and started on the triple antibiotic for H.Pylori as mentioned by You .Thankyou dr Li for spreading awareness on the topic and helping people..
nobody wants to hear about that
@chazlon5061 well I want to hear it and many people want to.....if its ok for you to waste your time to listen to your favourite music that contributes nothing to your wellbeing and health in particular then it should be equally beneficial to listen to people that are talking about their personal experiences for the greater good of all.
Great video. Do frozen vegetables, frozen fruits...do they still have good value? Because everything are getting expensive and I buy my food in bulk and freeze them to save money. Fresh is always good.... need to know what is best save money and eat food the right way...😅
@vc88466 Properly freezing foods preserves significantly more of their nutrients than canning, the sooner after harvest the better.
Before you panic, have you been eating beetroot? If so you may have a reddish tinge in the poop or toilet water. That will disappear after a day or so if it is from beetroot.
This is like getting some chapters for the manual we’ve never gotten on how our bodies work. Thanks for giving the info in easy to understand language, Dr. Li.👏🙏
Please talk about constipation
Organic Kiefer ■ grains I ordered on Etsy a year or so ago, I add milk about day 3 for the rich fermented texture I enjoy. This is then ready for smoothies, adding to granola for yogart to refrigerate for days, strain through cheesecloth for cheese which separates the whey to be added to smoothies and have a thick cheese spread; add some kiefer to organic heavy whipping cream that I make butter; Samson Historical site, I use their pottery jar with wood beater to make my butter; this process separates the buttermilk which I jar and use in smoothies as well while the butter rest on the counter for the week.

Wow! Thank you for sharing this info! I’m always trying to figure out fermentation. ❤
Dr. Li, I have been listening to your podcasts for a while now and I love them! I just bought your book "Eat to Beat Disease" and cannot wait to read it and especially use the recipes. I am sure all your audience wish as I do that you were my doctor. Thank you for educating us on so many health matters.
Yes, bought the book
The book has been immensely beneficial to me. My rheumatologist was not impressed with my focus on anti-inflammatory foods, but I've persisted. My inflammation markers are low, and I feel much better overall.
Wow!!! I’m soooo appreciative of this video!!!! I’d been going through gut nightmares for years! I’ve since gotten to the bottom of the major issues and am on my way to recovery. However your videos have given me more ammunition to fight even harder to attain the best gut health I’ve ever had. I just wish I’d seen this 10 years ago. I’m on the mend the and getting better every day! My doctors say I’m one of the healthiest eaters they’ve encountered!! Part of this is thanks to you and the knowledge you share with us!! Thanks so much for all you do!!
What do you eat?
You may have sibo..it causes heaps of probs..i canceled all plants from my diet for 2ish months, even though its 3months to fully heal, anyway, i was set free of those horrible years of gut issues!..jst eat anything thats not a plant, bit boring, but food is our medicine, some people call it the carnivore diet..hope that helps
Another thing to consider as a cause of diarrhea: fecal impaction. My specialty was gerontological nursing, and I sometimes found that healthcare professionals did not think to check for impaction and administered anti-diarrheals, compounding the problem.
Dehydration and skin tenting: this has been determined to not be reliable in assessing the elderly for dehydration.
A couple of months back I started having bad diarrhea. After 4 days I went to urgent care and was tested for most of the common bacteria and viruses, like e coli, etc. That all came back negative. The doctor told me to drink a lot fluids and especially electrolyte drinks. And to eat the BRAT diet. There didn't seem to be any end in sight and I went to a gastroenterologist who had me take a stomach X-ray and it turned out I was impacted, as you mentioned above. They said even though I had diarrhea I was really constipated. As the days went on it started getting better. All in all the diarrhea lasted 3 weeks. I barely left my house unless totally necessary. Finally I was back to normal and I became badly constipated. I went again to the gastroenterologist and they told me to take miralax and dulcolax and to eat a lot of fiber and to drink a lot of fluids. So I had to switch from the diarrhea diet to a constipation diet, which was much more varied. I am back to normal but I occasionally get constipated. When I do I take miralax or milk of magnesia. When I get constipated I no longer ignore it because I know it can lead to impaction and possibly diarrhea. I don't want to go through that again.
Dr Michael Greger has mentioned that it is best to steam mushrooms and discard the water because it contains compounds that are not good or healthy
Do you know anything about that?

Summary
Dr. William Li discusses five warning signs of unhealthy poop, emphasizing the importance of recognizing these signs for early intervention and prevention.
Highlights
🚨 Bright red blood in stool can indicate colon cancer or hemorrhoids.
📝 Changes in stool caliber, such as pencil-thin shapes, may signal obstruction.
⚫ Black tarry stools suggest possible upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
💧 Hard, dry stools often result from dehydration and require increased fluid intake.
🚽 Diarrhea can indicate malabsorption or inflammation in the gut.
👃 Unusually foul-smelling stools may point to bacterial overgrowth.
Key Insights
🩸 Blood in Stool: Bright red blood can be alarming; it’s crucial to consult a doctor as it may indicate serious issues like colon cancer or hemorrhoids, both of which require medical evaluation and potential intervention.
📏 Stool Caliber: A change in the shape of stool to pencil-thin can indicate an obstruction in the colon, warranting further investigation through diagnostic procedures like a colonoscopy.
🖤 Black Stools: The presence of black, tarry stools is a sign of potential bleeding in the upper GI tract, such as from stomach ulcers, and necessitates immediate medical attention.
💦 Dehydration and Hard Stools: Hard, dry stools are often a sign of dehydration; ensuring adequate hydration is essential for maintaining healthy bowel movements and preventing constipation.
💩 Diarrhea Causes: Diarrhea can stem from various causes, including infections or inflammation, and maintaining hydration is critical to avoid complications like severe dehydration.
👃 Smelly Stools: Foul-smelling stools may indicate malabsorption or dysbiosis in the gut microbiome, suggesting a need to adjust dietary habits and consider probiotics for gut health.
Foods:
● Green tea: Mentioned as a beverage that has been shown to lower the risk of colon cancer due to its high content of EGCG, a polyphenol that inhibits angiogenesis.

● To rebuild your gut microbiome, eat foods with prebiotics like yogurt, avocado, and colorful vegetables.
● Incorporate probiotic foods like kombucha, kimchi, and sauerkraut into your diet.
● If you have diarrhea, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
● Use over-the-counter treatments like Pepto-Bismol and Imodium to slow down diarrhea and make yourself more comfortable.
● Monitor yourself for dehydration, as it can be very critical for health.
● Check your microbiome if you're having diarrhea to see if there are bad bacteria present that need to be eliminated.
● Eat more diverse types of foods to improve the diversity of your microbiome if you have low diversity.
● Consider taking antibiotics or probiotics to rebalance your gut if you have harmful bacteria present.
● Cut down or cut out ultra-processed foods that can disturb your microbiome if you have really smelly poop.

Thank you Dr. LI, we need this info❤ Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much for such important information ❤
Thank you Dr Li. Very informative. You live and you learn. Tks much.
Wonderful video, thank you!
Why do you recommend the whole yogurt for the microbiome and not the non fat?
Non-fat has artificial thickeners in it, otherwise it would be to thin without fat. The thickeners and emulsifiers are really bad for you.
Is it possible that apple cider vinegar will cause stomach ulcer? I've been drinking apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoon a day for a year.
How’s your hemoglobin?
@@gemcatgirl my hemoglobin still pretty good.
@@mjanestyle3634 I had an issue with it before. It dropped my hemoglobin significantly however, I think I was doing more than two tablespoons daily.
That’s an excellent question and I’ve wondered the same myself. I take 2 tablespoons with a little water and lemon each day. I do wish Dr. Li would answer or address this in another of his wonderful videos.
Thank you for the advice, much appreciated. 😊
Thank you so much Dr Williams Li for this very important lecture for my concern at this time. ❤

What about persistent floating stools...
Do you hav recent info on oxalates?..herbavores seem to manage them, even gorillas, our cuzzies...do you know how can we get the meds frm the plants without getting oxalative damage? It seems the healthiest cultures live mostly on grains and other gut etc damaging plants according to scientific studies?
Thank you so much Dr. William 🙏
What about when you have Hypothyroidism usually you constipated why that happen ?? Thanks for the info Dr Li
😊Hi Yvonne again just typ an answer which I lost. Try glutenfree, diaryfree, soyfree, sugarfree and also hidden sugars, processedfoods, non alcohol try this elimination diet piece by piece for 30-60 or 90 days and find out whether your gut problem gets better. Eat fermented foods as probiotics for your microbiom. Do you know if you have Hashimoto? Regards Yvonne
Add high fiber rich food to your diet. There is some fiber that you can add to your drinks like chia seed or psylium fiber but when your taking medicines specially maintenance medicine like for high blood or diabetes when you take fiber wait for atleast 4 hours before taking your medicine as it may get flush when taken after you consume fiber
Thank you so much
Floater or sinkers? Which one is healthy?
Sinkers. Floaters means Your body is not absorbing the fat. Hence the stool floats. Could be it be bile ?
@@meenakothari7841Do you know what can be done for that? Thanks
@@southerngirl1408 Eat more fiber, fruits, prunes.
Sinkers
keep that question to your doctors office no the internet
