Constipated? These FOODS are the Key to Healthy Digestion | Dr. Gundry

[@yeastori]

As someone who used to be a trucker and suffered extreme hemorrhoids, it's very difficult to do carnivore which I thought for a while was the end all be all. I was surrounded by people who swears carnivore was the perfect diet and you didn't need plants almost cult like. It was getting too much because I knew that it was far from being perfect because consuming meat only for a long time gave me extreme constipation and it was horrible for my hemorrhoids. I had to down a few sweet potatoes on my 'cheat' period just to heal the area and make it bearable. I am now doing a 20 percent plants, 80 percent meats and fats ratio diet and its much better.

@@yeastori My experience from the early 2000s was that eating lots of meat will dry you up in the colon and you will have to take something to flush all that out because the decaying animal meat will start to rot. Go easy on the meat and make it is pasture raised.

So many opinions about food and eating from so many "experts" that everything is scary at mealtime.

@@kimwalton2873 I understand that but in the end, YOU have to figure out what works for YOU. Test out what you see in these videos and test out people tell you.

Our amcestors got about 110 grams fiber a day. some Einstein decides thats no good. Look at your teeth....do they look like a cats teeth? BINGO! WE AINT OBLIGATE CARNIVORS. Ive read magnesium doesnt really absorb thru our skin.

[@Amanda_downunder]

Many people find the carnivore diet helps ! fibre / fiber can cause lot of problems.

[@karttu1]

Maybe we only have to eat fermented food and not prebiotics at all? Thank you Dr. Gundry!

Fibre causes both constipation (mainly cellulose) and diarrhea (mainly pectins from fruits). What's more, sometimes people drinking coffee in the morning have diarrhea - guess what, a good mug of coffee contains up to 2 g of fibre, I've learned recently. This one is a bit more complicated: the ones drinking morning coffee who don't have diarrhea have healthy villi and microvilli which stop the chyme from abrupt movement which is called diarrhea. Your villi and microvilli are constantly destroyed by cellulose (fibre) in your diet so adding any more fibre is adding fuel to the fire. This causes constant inflammation in your guts and that is an underlying cause of bowel cancer or any cancer as your microbiome is constantly depleted (it's you brain and immune power).

True! I can confirm that's true!

Thanks for this video... 👍🏻 Since i learn about different diets i've ever asked me if meat alone is optimal🤔 Although most do in any medical way better as they say. And i think about the gut.... Great to see this video, it helps me a lot.....

Now this was a good breakdown on bowel movement activity. Lots of details to consider and implement. Thanks Dr. Gundry!

Sorry I had to edit this to clean up my hastily written comment: I watched this twice and am perplexed by the activities our Gut Buddies, Digestion and Gas. Ok, we have in our guts what I will refer to as the gut “Good Guys” and the “Bad Guys” and both are competing for a food source to feed off the stuff we eat! Question #1: In this Battle Inside the Human Gut, if you are eating your Fiber but at the same time you are eating things that are sweet (Sugar) and everyone inside the gut is being fed the “food” they like, who is going to win this battle? Question #2: Regarding Gas, I eat between 25-50 grams of Fiber per day (Organic Flaxseeds, Psyllium Husks, Raw Vegetables, etc) but I have a hankering for sweets (Organic and non-GMO) and I drink plenty of water so I don’t get cramps due to eating all that Fiber. Here comes the Gas! Which bacteria are going to win this battle? It’s not like I can’t afford it but I know I need to up the non-sweet foods (Pastured Meat, Wild Caught Sardines and Salmon, Walnuts, Flaxseeds, Basil Seeds, Sacha Ichi Nuts, Baru Nut, etc) and make my own sweet items with Allulose and use Spices as it is not really necessary to purchase the store bought Organic and non-GMO sweets. Thank you Dr. Gundry for this timely video advice!

Is it possible to eat hot German potato salad using regular russet potatoes since you have vinegar and yogurt and other fermented foods in it?

[@joolz5747]

Well, I think a lot of this has a lot of salt and I can’t have a lot of salt, so what am I supposed to do?

Carnivore, which I’ve done for eight years, never caused me constipation. My stools were always perfectly formed. I just didn’t go frequently enough. Maybe once every 10 days. Every food you’ve mentioning doesn’t work with my issues. I have interstitial cystitis, and carnivore is the best for it. I’m experimenting with 1/2 avocado a day because now my bladder tolerates them. I do take some mg glycinate mini capsules before bed. I also use mg cream at night. The oil stings and is itchy but the cream doesn’t do this. Potassium will flare most people with IC. In fact urologists used to insert potassium in the bladder and if the patient experienced pain then they were diagnosed with IC. To go potty, I’ve found that moving when I get up, and also drinking cold water. I can’t take vinegar at all, and in the past I couldn’t eat sauerkraut without a flair. Now I can eat a tablespoon on real sauerkraut twice a day. So far after four months experimenting with adding some plants I am wise. More inflammation all over the body. No improvement in bowels. More bloating and lots of laziness. I’ll keep experimenting. Going to try spore probiotics.

Put some psyllium in your plain NON sweetened kefir if your bathroom fan or window is not working. Why?? There will be no odor when you poop! Unless you eat a lot of sugars or processed carbs. Hint...drink it right after you add a tbl spoon or 2 of psyllium or it will gel too thick.

[@dybusmariusz]

What about digestion and absorption? Prepare a psyllium husk with water half an hour before you drink it to see what happens in your stomach when it reaches it...

[@CBC683]
