7 Reasons Why Aging Adults Suffer from Constipation and 7 Ways to Fix It / Over 60

[@margeryrisnear2782]

You are an absolute angel, this problem l have been dealing with for around 20 years, l have loved all of your videos and learned so much from you at 78,you are so wonderful we all need to watch your videos. God bless you xoxo

[@trishajo5743]

Nanny you’re spot on. Moose should not ever worry that you’ve gone overboard. You always speak with great finesse. Great job Nanny. ❤️

[@debrandw246]

Great video Nanny..I have chronic constipation from medication Thanks much.

[@heatherangellight8558]

Great subject and I have two important facts. 1) do not take it lightly. Our neighbor didn’t go for 3 days and her doctor told her to take over the counter meds. The next day she felt better so thought it worked. When she saw him for a recheck two days later he rushed her to the hospital and she died two days later. She felt better because her colon had burst so all the pressure stopped. The colon bursting out the stool into her blood stream and she got sepsis and died. We all still miss her greatly. Constipation is no joke. 2) what works easily? I call it flushing as I figured it out for my husband when we travel. Every morning I have him gulp down quickly 12 ounces of warm water. Quickly is a must as it causes a flush through your system and you’ll go within an hour. Since figuring this out I’ve shared it with all of my clients and even my physical therapist and massage therapist and they all swear by it now and so it each morning just to make sure they don’t get constipated. But they all did it because they were constipated and when they mentioned it to me I taught them this trick. Again you must drink 8-12 ounces of warm water quickly. Be safe!! It’s no joke for sure!

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks so much for this info, Heather…so sorry about your neighbor…hope everyone reads the comments…❤️

[@rhondaandrews613]

Oh my! Thx for the warning!!!

[@canadiangardenjoyo6896]

That is shocking .. important to know it can get that serious as a life and death issue..

Thank you so much

Thank you for that information ✨

[@bomeister335]

Don't forget prune juice Nanny, we are in our mid 70's and my husband has a triple back fracture waiting for surgery. He is on opioids for the pain and now has this problem. We tried everything to no avail until a friend suggested prune juice, he drinks it twice a day and feels so much better. Thanks for the video, you have a way of telling it like it is with a bit of humor. God bless us all for sure.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Hope Hubby heals well, my friend…yes , prunes are Moosie’s ‘go to’…THSNKS for commenting.❤️

[@cashopa]

We find prunes work well. My daughter is 50 years young and non ambulatory. Miralax wasn't working anymore. And exlax was problematic.

[@ginagray603]

Some things I've found to help: 3-5 dried apricots/day, 1-2 Ducolax/day, probiotics, and eating less beef. @@cashopa

Hi Dorothy, Nanny is a Fab Lady. Been with Nanny and Moose from the beginning. A great Video on a delicate subject. Love Cathy from Scotland xxx

[@itzasunnyday4me]

You are such a great teacher Nanny. Thank you for all the research you do. I learned my best trick back in my 40's when I had a hysterectomy. Of course it was very hard to poop after that major surgery. The nurse advised having a low stool (about 6 inches tall) in the bathroom and to set my feet up on it when I had to go. It unkinks the abdomen and puts you in the best position for rhe poop to come out. Boy, did it work great. I have been doing this ever since for the past 20 years and no spasms. I am glad you are able to discuss so many topics with us, even if Moosie is a little uncomfortable. He trusts you!

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

I have one of those….it’s called a “Squatty Potty”….yes..it is ingenious!❤️

[@patriciaake5935]

Nanny - you are my hero! I listened in to get info but when you demonstrated the position on your bed I couldn’t stop laughing! You have such an inner self awareness that cuts right through some of the myths about what we can or should talk about. All I could do was picture Moosie coming in from the garden to see you demonstrating on the bed! Anyway - Bravo girl! Patricia

[@lanajackson3730]

Sensitive subject, but one that a lot of us seniors suffer with this problem. My biggest problem is stress when I travel, car or plane. It’s different water everywhere. We always carry bottled water with us. I eat a lot of fruit and veggies to stay from being constipated. Thanks Nanny for being brave & speaking about this. You may have saved someone’s life. God bless! 👍🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Yes, LANA…traveling always sets me back a day or two…❤️

[@hardwood7955]

You are a natural born teacher, Nanny, and as a retired teacher myself (37 yrs in classroom), I appreciate the work and prep that goes into producing these wonderful videos. You touch on terrific topics! Love your channel.xox

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks so much, my friend..❤️

[@barbarataylor1535]

This was very good. It seemed like two friends reminding each other of what is

[@ElizabethKanas]

Nanny, what an awesome video. I was pleased you spoke about incontinence but your teacher mode came out 100% in this vlog. I appreciate you and all the time you invested to investigate the subject and educate us. You know none of these topics should be tabu! I believe if we are open about these things we can learn from it. I would love to hear how menopause has affected you over the years and what things are a nuisance because of menopause. I know many women rejoice to be rid of their period but it actually made me sad because it was like leaving a part of my life behind that had been a part of me for so long. I’ve also heard a lot of different opinions on what changes over the years but since you research and are responsible I think this too could be a great topic. You do these vlogs so well! God bless us all! Hugs, Elizabeth XX 🤗🙏💕🫶🏻❤️🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you, Elizabeth…menopause was a non-event for me as I still had a house full of kids ..two under 12 and other than some hot flashes at 49 or 50…which only went on for awhile..it never affected me at all… mentally or physically…I was lucky! ❤️

[@ElizabethKanas]

Me either it was just a bit of thinning hair (which came back in later) and some hot flashes. I had an eight year old when I went through it which was a non-event for me too. I was 50 and blessed, thank God! But I thought as a topic for those who do suffer from it some education on it would be interesting for many! 😀❤️🌻

[@judithbullock6992]

Well done Nanny, well done. So proud of you, Moosie too. He may not have been completely on board with this but he respected and believed in you enough to bow out and let you have a go at it. Each of us must determine what works best, but you have shown us that it is just a part of how we are put together. Can’t thank you enough. God bless you Nanny and God bless us all. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you, Judith..❤️

[@dorothyhouston7959]

Thank you Nanny for your input on this matter. I were in the hospital two weeks ago, because I have stomach issues. And you were right on it. May God continue to bless you and Moose. You are a jewel 💖 in this lifetime. Love you all!!

Nanny: thanks for taking time to research & present this! You are an excellent teacher. Chung’s videos are also helpful. Moosie: you listen to our Nanny!!😂💕

[@donnageesey9508]

Nanny, You are tooo funny. I loved watching you do the exercise on your bed. Kudos to you for your truthful video about constipation.. This was an excellent video. So true to all of us that have issues pooping. Moose is very fortunate to have you for a wife. You keep doing these videos that inspire all of us. I don’t miss any of your videos. I live in Pa. and my sister lives in Rehoboth Beach and we 2 sisters enjoy discussing all your videos. You give we 2 sisters a lot to talk about.. I, too, have been constipation my 81 years, but still living a great, healthy life. May you continue to be a BLESSING to your husband, your family, and your friends and viewers. Thank you again for your your informative messages. Donna Geesey

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thank you, Donna, for your heartfelt lovely comment AND your loyal viewership…Love and hugs to you and your sister.❤️

[@mariarooney6262]

You are so correct about this subject. One, if not the most important subject for our health. It comes down to what we eat and all the medications we take. Most prescription medicines cause constipation. It’s very serious and most people don’t connect the correlation. Eating raw fruits first thing in the morning changed my life. Thanks for bringing this up and I hope it helps someone. I could talking about this subject for a long time because it was a major problem when I was young. I came across a book called Fit for life that changed my life. I never knew I was constipated until I read that book and for the past 40 years have been studying it. I even taught classes on it. People do not like to talk about it. At least not back then. I don’t follow that book as strictly now but what I gleaned from it I use every day. Thanks again for talking about this. ❤️

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks for commenting, Marie…fruit helps me ,too.❤️

[@kathyhartsell4383]

Good evening Nanny! May I say you are helping women of all ages on subjects such as today’s because sometimes it’s embarrassing to talk about. You’re a great teacher of all things! Thank you so much! Love you! 💕

Thanks so much, Kathy…❤️

[@carolynhamilton3316]

Grapes, " cutie" tangerines, and lots of water. That's has helped me. Great info Nanny. So right.

[@coppercurls5000]

Nanny, our winsome teacher....❤ from Texas

[@marcialane8235]

Very well done Nanny! I worked for a gastroenterologist for over 30 years and gained much knowledge. We had so many patients with constipation problems. He also did recommend daily Colace for the seniors ( my 88 year old mom takes every night) , if they truly were backed up the only quick fix “ laxative” he recommended was citrate of magnesium, sometimes Miralax…. And of course most important is to remember to do your colonoscopy when recommended by your doctor.

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks for sharing today, Marcia….words everyone should hear…❤️

[@yourfriendlyproctologist]

Fantastic job explaining and diving into this difficult topic! You did it with such grace. Keep up the fantastic work!!! 🎉

[@canadiangardenjoyo6896]

OMG .. Nanny , I almost feel famous now ? LOL ... all kidding aside, you did a fantastic job and I can't imagine anyone could be offended by any means. This is such an important issue that so many people feel embarrassed about. But you would think for the over the 60's crowd we could talk about anything by now ? My son did the intermittent fasting, dropped a lot of weight and said he felt so much better. So I feel that is a beneficial method for us all at some point in our lives. I miss doing my yoga so much (because there are great movements much like you showed us ) I have to wait to get into it again when the orthopedic doctor says it is alright, after I had fractured my arm everything flew out the window for me .. gardening and yoga. You looked so pretty today ! and it ran seamlessly with your point about no matter how good we look on the outside, if we don't feel good on the inside it is defeating and so uncomfortable. Job VERY well done Nanny ! Thank you !! Joy

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Thanks, Joy…sure hope your arm heals quickly and you’re back to normal moving and exercising…❤️

[@bobbiewilliams5101]

Nanny, your innate ability to educate with honesty, warmth and humor make you the perfect person to address this and other “hot button” topics. Thank you for all of the research you obviously put into this content. I have dealt with constipation issues for too many years. Not much help from MDs, but I believe as I have gotten older, it is partially just a sluggish system. Walking definitely helps as do some of the remedies you suggest here. I think it is a matter of each of us being our own best advocate, researching info and figuring out what works for us. I will definitely check out Dr. Chung. Please let Moosie know he can be very proud of you and how you navigated this information. Much love…take good care ❤🌻

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Yes, Bobbie I so agree we have to be our own advocates…and know our bodies …and listen to the signals!hugs, ❤️

[@knithappy]

Thank you for doing this! Tell Moosey if he thinks this is TMI, just listen in when a group of us girls get together and talk amongst ourselves 🤣🤣

[@candyboyer]

😂😂 truth!

[@fafaintexas]

This was extremely informative. And nothing you said could possibly offend. Thank you for the simple explanation. I had heard all of it, but I think maybe I did not put it together? You did a very good job. My friend has the opposite problem. She usually has to go a few times in the morning and sometimes once at night. My friend’s stools are way too soft, almost but not quite, diarrhea, she states. She worries about it because She (and I) fear that in her 80s, she will not be able to control the elimination and all that comes with that. HORRORS!! She is my traveling buddy.

[@rhondaandrews613]

This problem is hereditary in my husband's family & it's awful to live with also

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Is your friend consulting a doctor about this condition? I can imagine how worrisome this can be…thanks for sharing,FF..❤️

I have suffered from chronic constipation most of my life. I have tried all kinds of things. I have found out one thing works well for me so far. I try to eat an avocado every few days. That has truly helped me immensely. I am soon to be 72 years old and I'm just now finding that an avocado is my friend. I love watching your videos everyday. I like the way you just keep it real.

Thanks. Dinah…I love them, too…❤️

It's not strange at our age . Very helpful thank you .

[@darlenecarver147]

Great informative episode, so relevant. Having cared for my mother, who lived healthily over 100 years, many even MOST seniors are deficient in magnesium. A minimum of 500mg per day is needed as it is involved in over 300 bodily functions. Nerve stimulation and health is one of them. My mother took 2 250mg supplements each day, and never had constipation. She also began her day with a bowl of oatmeal. Try taking one of those 250mg magnesiums before bed, and the next morning the bowel will be stimulated to "go."

[@crushingtheir80snannyandmoose]

Dr. Chung also advises magnesium…I forgot to mention it..thanks for sharing, Darlene…❤️

Kudos for taking on this subject Nanny. I watched my mom suffer for years and all the routine she followed. Some of which helped and some did not. I wish I knew then what I know again.

Great video.. I don’t have any issues Now.. but now I have some information! Plus EVERYONE has bodily functions of all kinds! Isn’t it funny how we freak out talking about any of it!? Im 76 and my southern belle grandmother would have rather died than mention ANY of these topics.. even sweat was mind blowing to her!😂😂😂 I remember telling her it was hot and I was sweating. She shushed me and said ladies don’t talk about that!😂😂 Omg Thanks Nanny! Oh.. a must try! I recently saw someone raving about this, I tried and OBSESSED! Equal parts yogurt and cottage cheese in a bowl. ( I use Oikos 15 gr protein..zero sugar brand and full fat cottage cheese) mix in berry of choice. Oh my goodness! Divine! The small yogurt (I love the lemon ❤️) and 1/2 cup cottage cheese (plain) makes a big bowl -added berries 🎉…perfect light lunch high in protein and nice in this heat! ❤️

Thank you, Nanny, for the helpful information and for handling this topic with humor and good old-fashioned common sense. I am addicted to your videos and look forward to seeing you, Moosie, and your family on a regular basis. I had post-surgery sedation-induced constipation, which proved more painful than the incisions. One thing that helps me is drinking a large glass of water with a spoonful of Calm, which contains magnesium, in the late afternoon. The lemon raspberry flavor is quite thirst quenching and easy to drink. As others have said, magnesium helps with this issue and also has a calming, muscle relaxing effect. Also, there are very inexpensive bidets (

Very important subject ,Diet,sleeping,drinking,exercise,and elimination.This 5 very important.Intermit fasting I would add.I eat one meal /day,no snaking.In the morning ,I drink water with half of lemon,than about 11:00 I have my coffee with 35% cream,salt,MCT oil,and a little coconut oil,sometimes I put cynamon. Than I have my meal about 2 or 3 pm.,but not later than 5.And I am still not hungry,because I eat lots of fat,like butter olive oil,coconut oil.I do not eat fast food or any processed food ,I cook myself.I have energy enough for whole day .I do not take any pills,unless I have headache because I am still sensitive to some food.I do not ear bread,maybe ones/ week a little slice,no grains very seldom,no potatoes.Mainly meat,dairy, vegetables,fruits.I am 70 and I feel better than I was younger.

You can sometimes get a stuck “Ileocecal Valve”. There are simple massages you can do to babies and to yourself as well that unstick the valve and gentle massage of you intestines and you can feel where something might be stuck while you are doing the massage.

[@concettaalcorn686]

Thank you Nanny for all information about things that most people won’t talk about .😊

[@sharondevries1985]

Nanny, you address the important things that we seniors experience every day. I think that you are brave and open minded to do so. I have a wonderful gastroenterologist. I have colitis and pancreatitis. Both cause diarrhea. However sometimes it alternates with constipation. To the point that I bleed. Yes, I occasionally use stool softeners. In fact did you know that you can be constipated while having diarrhea? I was shocked when my doctor showed me the x-rays of stool that was “stuck” in my colon while I was having diarrhea. Drinking water…WELL… that goes back to your video about incontinence. When I drink, then I am running to the bathroom. Consequently I don’t drink until I am thirsty. Not good since by the time you are thirsty, you are starting to become dehydrated. I am on many medications so I am sure that affects my problems as well. All of these things are uncomfortable. So besides all of our aches and pains and perhaps instability, not to mention forgetfulness, we are burdened by what should be natural functions. I have said for years that the “Golden years” are tarnished. (Yes Moose, I do know that gold does not tarnish, it is just an expression that I use). I do love fruit and vegetables, however the prices are outrageous when I order my groceries. I have been paying $1 each for apples for example. I am sure that some of your other viewers can relate. All we can do is educate ourselves and do our best to care for our bodies. Stay well everyone. Blessings to you both, love, Sharon

Ah ha the poop conversation!! I am 80yo and have hemroids and constipation since I was a child. My fix I have found over the years is 1 tablespoon of Metamucil twice a day 1 500 mg of magnesium twice away and 1 stool softener twice a day. I have to do this everyday not just once in awhile. My hemroids I must wipe really well and wipe with wet wipes and put Vaseline down there.

Hi Nanny, I've recently discovered your channel and am thoroughly enjoying binge watching your videos. I am 73 and I am experiencing a lot of the issues you have discussed including this one. Thank you so much for all the research and efforts you put in to making your videos. I bet you were a marvellous teacher. I send all best wishes to you, Moose and all your lovely family.

TY Nanny you really are an awesome friend to your viewers, this video came to me at just the right time. Ive been to the dr and now Im having tests done. Magnesium has always helped me in the past but I guess its time to bring in the big guns. 🤞🏻

You look absolutely gorgeous this morning. You cracked me up when you said how you were going to describe the words. I totally agree with the words you picked; the others are icky.

I also chew a couple of dried prunes. But traveling adds another layer to this because of time change and sitting on an airplane, different foods and routine!

If people think that talking about constipation is embarassing, I have heard of cases more that once or twice about people being found dead of a heart attack on the toilet because all that pressure of pushing which is very hard on the heart, just saying.

Greetings Nanny! Thanks for being so brave and educating us all. I have had ibs with constipation my whole life, so this is an issue for me too. Also, thanks for sharing the name of the doctor on you tube. By the way, you look lovely! Love and blessings ♥️🙏
