Tyfs dr Ruscio, the first time I went for a routine colonoscopy at age 50 the GI couldn’t get the smallest kid’s size scope in. No wonder my constipation was so bad. I was sent for CT-colonography immediately while still half sedated. They found out my colon was tortuous and twisted with scars of former adhesion. With kidney stones and stage 1 calcium plaques in abdominal aorta as bonuses. Since then I’ve always been mindful of my high fiber diets/water and opted for CT-colonography every time. For me the extra fibers have not been working because of the tendency to get stuck. Now at 63, I have gone without fiber trial for about 12 months eating only fatty meat and eggs. Surprisingly, my bowl movements have greatly improved. No more bloated or constipated. Really strange. Also started doing strength training and dead hanging to help keeping regular. So far so good. I’m not taking any meds. Just electrolytes and plenty of water or bone broth.

I had a rather expensive stool sample panel done, GI mapping done. It showed insufficient enzymes. I actually found a form of enzymes made from fermented fruit that comes from Japan. I’ve been using it for a few months and I have been regular in a way that I have never been in my entire life. I have struggled with constipation since I was a child and I have tried a lot of things. Just wanted to mention it. I wasn’t having diarrhea when I started taking the enzymes, I was having horrific bloating. It seems that I was going through a phase of Symptoms that were SIBO like. I just wanted to mention this because it has been an absolute game changer for me. I don’t have any affiliation with any product, I’m just a regular person who seems to have found some thing that helped.

I don't know if you'll look at this comment after so long, thank you if you do. I had a meningioma removed in 1979. I'm in my sixties and have had problems with constipation for years. I live in England and take lactose prescribed. The longest I have gone without a bowel movement by which time I could hardly eat of drink and started vomiting is ten days. Then I saw my doctor, yes I know I should have done so sooner. I now have a cyst where the brain tumour was and have migraine headaches, beta blocker prescribed. Added to this i have epilepsy and take a number of drugs for this. I also have fibromyalgia and am on a number of pain killers. These are the main problems I have but there are a few other bits and bobs, all boring. I take 36 tablets a day and can't bear the thought of yet more tablets. I eat full fat live yogurt almost every day as well as magnesium (which has done marvellous things to my sleep - fibro effect). I chart my BMs and increase the lactose if I need to. Btw I'm partially paralysed so exercise is challenging. I do need help please. Blessings

Go watch EONutrition, and Kick it Naturally on KZbin. Between those 2, you should be able to figure it out. TLDR: What mostly causes gastroparesis is a thiamine deficiency and potentially vit. B5 and/or B12. Also, the level of acidity of the contents of your bowels determines the speed at which your fecal matter flows through your digestive system - meaning you may need to supplement w betaine hcl.

Against the dogma - "Reduction or cessation of fiber reduces constipation." Search for journal title of that name at Google Scholar, from 2012 I think. Also MgCl is always forgotten in favour of those sold as supplements. People think of it as bath salts, but that is Mg sulphate, not chloride. Also black coffee. And beyond water etc, increase FAT, not just water. Fat calls out bile which eases the passage. So, respectfully, i think this YT vid is at best incomplete, and incorrect as to need for fiber.

Thankyou so much for the best talk, causes of , different symptoms and some treatments for constipation which I have ever had. Constipated since childhood, I am now 69, it has always been considered as a standing joke when I go for help and told to eat more fibre which is ther last thing I needed. Then it has been complicated by pelvic/abdo surgeries, the chronic pain resulting in powerful analagsia for many years. The worst has been when I fell out of bed resulting in an incisional hernia I think just small bowel, then repair. The bowels have gone crazy, I was left with a tennis ball lump after 4 days which was diagnosed as I think a haemolyzing haematoma which I still have almost 2 years later, painful, and terrible abdo distension right up to the stomach (just under the ribs) for several days (often over a week) I can be so constipated then out of the blue diarrhoea so awful I have been incontinent of faeces several times.

I’ve tried everything under the sun and not found the long-term solution. I eat gluten-free and not very much actually. I can’t seem to get to the point where I have normal daily BM’s. I should also say that I’ve had several abdominal surgery several back surgeries a sigmoid colon removal, no gall bladder, 3 c-sections, bilateral Inguinal hernia and pelvic floor disfunction. My fecal incontinence largely occurs right after my morning meal and not so much after dinner. I also related to the early childhood trauma. My question is this, with an elimination diet for a couple of weeks really do a long-term reset for me? Or even short term that I could do once every couple months?

My understanding of the microbiome, you have prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics. Fiber is the prebiotics, hopefully you have or supplement probiotics, the good bugs to digest the fiber to make postbiotics. One if not the main component of postbiotics is the making of the short chain fatty acid butyrate. You can supplement this end product butyrate. I would recommend a time released product so as not to overwhelm say just the small intestine area and not reaching the large colon. I have been Keto to Carnivore since 2017. I'm sure i have been in ketosis for most of that time generating butyrate. I supplemented sodium butyrate timed release cap, a half dose to start and had the most complete BM i have ever had. It has been the same everyday since. Highly recommend it. As Dr Gundry has said, you can't get to much butyrate.

I struggle with emptying my bowels and I have been trying all types of laxatives, fibre, 2-3L of water per day, and massage. This situation developed after I suffered Cauda Equina syndrome during the Covid lockdown and was kept waiting for 8 days on the ward as many of the operating theatres were used as intensive care units for Covid patients. Since then (with severe compression of L3/L4 nerves) my bladder and bowel are dysfunctional. I need to self-catheterise a couple of times per day and I suffer from severe bowel immotility. My colonoscopy showed a torturous long sigmoid loop which appears to store stools and result in severe lower abdominal pain. I end up vomiting and spending hours on the toilet. My spinal neurologist has not been helpful at all and only offers me anaesthetic and steroid injections to the nerve root.

I think for some of us scarring the s..t out of us would be something we'd all go for. 😀 I'm not making fun of you, I know how difficult this all is.

Thanks for the info about tortuous colon. This was found in my latest colonoscopy after a lifetime of issues.
@DrRuscioDC3 ай бұрын
I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope, now that it’s identified, you can start moving in the direction of healing.

What about triphala?

Is good. He’s avoided a few good products. Pro-digest blend has great reviews for motility.

How likely is it that a severe hemorrhagic stroke can leave someone with chronic constipation? It's left side was very damaged leaving everything at first with no sensation of touch even although the person can now use left leg to walk, not well, but awkwardly using a hemi walker, but needing to use a power wheelchair. Left arm, hand nearly immobile. It's been 8 yrs since stroke. Still struggling to go even after trying different diets, lots of stimulants/ marketed products etc. Any hope?

You are a godsend! I am getting ready to go see a Gastro Dr. for my constipation and to schedule a colonoscopy. I will make good notes w bulletpoints from your video and share with him my daily process as it refers to your information. I am hopeful that my partnership with him in my evaluation/diagnosis and plan going forward will be even more positive! Already making changes from your suggestions. Thank you! I will say that I will have to research some of the otc products/supplements etc u outlined AND their effects on kidney health. I am older and I know it is of utmost importance when using these things.

The answer to mine was creatine. 2g a day dissolved in my drinks and the issue was solved (plus I get the benefits of the creatine).

Triphala works wonders for me. It can also be used long term. Start low...1/2tsp and work us to 1tsp per day. I now take 1/4 every night...and i'll do that long term. It has so many other benefits also.

After paralysis ( brain stroke )Ayurveda doctors are advised to mechanical excertion using first or second finger. Is it possible to do without any harm. And they are also advising to use castor oil or coconut oil during the process. Can it be done?

Senna is not good for everybody. It makes me sick if I take it. Also I noticed I became constipated if I eat some food that contain artificial colors,preservatives and so on.

Triphala comes all the way from India…! Wild senna on the other hand grows in Canada and the USA. Wherever you live, is there no local solution to “fix” constipation…? 🤔
