Many different prescription medications can cause constipation also. Doctors never talk about this when they put you on something new. Actually, doctors that I'm familiar with don't talk about a lot of things giving you a heads-up on what to expect when starting on a new medication. Medication side effects are overwhelmingly numerous.

I've been having crippling panic attacks for years and I'm convinced my gut/hiatal hernia is the source. I don’t have anxiety aside from when this randomly happens, my stomach tightens and I feel like I can't breathe. If this aligns with what you teach I'd love to see a video on this.

I had diverticulosis & diverticulitis for years until I stopped eating gluten. No more acid reflux now either. Thank you

My boyfriend is coming to see you April 18 as a new patient- so hopeful that he gets the help he needs from you. It’s amazing to see how informative you are. If you see someone come in with a long list of his symptoms and previous care, that’s all me 😂

I'm 53 and have never had a colonoscopy. (Stupid I know.) I've been having constipation for about 5 months. I took a Cologuard test that game back positive. My colonoscopy is a month and a half away. I have read about false positives with Cologuard, but in conjunction with the unexplained and prolonged constipation, I am now utterly terrified that I might have colorectal cancer. The shape of my stool is often "pebbles," sometimes followed by a more cohesive "sausage" shape. Color ranges from normal brown to very dark brown, but never black. I urge everyone to get their colonoscopies on time, usually age 45, or earlier if you have unexplained problems with bowel movements that don't go away when you attempt to address them as I have.

Would bouncing on a trampoline directly after eating a large meal force the pylorus valve to open and force the food into the intestines? Or would the valve stay closed ?

Damn Dr. Cooper is feisty in this one lol Here is a situation that my doctor's can't seem to figure out: I'm 36, male and haven't had a solid or "fluffy" normal poop since 2017. Before 2017 I was completely fine and never had any GI issues. Ever since then it's usually diarrhea or a mix. If it IS solid, it comes out in very flat pieces, about as thin as a quarter would be. No blood is present and the colonoscopy didn't show any obstruction. Tests for celiac, crohn's and diverticulitis came back negative. No H Pylori present either. There is a bubbling sound on my upper-left abdomen when I breathe in and out, and even though I have diarrhea I'm almost constantly constipated until it all comes out at once and I have almost no control over holding it when that happens. There is also a burning sensation on the same upper-left part of my abdomen that goes away if I hold it with my hand. PPI treatments do not work, and the upper GI showed nothing abnormal either. I've been to 4 different GI doctors and since none of them can figure it out they just give up. It's incredibly frustrating.

[@MarkCooperMD]

Thanks for sharing. I’d suggest a food diary that you review with a GI. Usually these symptoms are food related.

[@SilentKME]

@@MarkCooperMD I've already done that. It doesn't seem to matter what foods I eliminate or not. It happens from a salad or a cheeseburger. I have also done the fiber (metamucil) and miralax thing with no success. It's truly frustrating, and GI doctors seem to go through the list of primary culprits and when none of it matches they seem to just move on and forget about me. Nothing I am going through is normal for a healthy 36 year old male, especially such a radical change from how I use to be. I keep watching videos like yours hoping there is some information out there that my GI doctors are overlooking.

Drinking warm water seems help me with constipation.

@@MarkCooperMD Please can you answer my question. 1. Last year when I had an "EGD" test , the GI said I have a 2 cm Hiatal Hernia. How can a hiatal hernia be Healed / Cured ??? How can Acid Reflux be Healed? And the Most Important question , *Please tell me how, I can Heal an Esophagus* ??? Thank you for all your help , this is very important.
