Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms and the vagus nerve - cervical instability can cause GI dysfunction

Ross Hauser, MD discusses how the vagus nerve innervates our gastrointestinal (GI) system and can cause numerous GI dysfunction symptoms if it is not functioning properly. Additionally, how cervical instability (a structural cause) can be the reason why someone's vagus nerve is not functioning properly and why it is common for people to have both migraines and nausea among many other symptoms.

If this is the first you're seeing Dr. Hauser, you may be surprised how much work he's done in the field of natural medicine and the dedication our whole clinic has toward getting patients off unnecessary medications and breaking the need for addictive pain killers. Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment, not like cortisone or botulinum toxin. We also have a wonderful chiropractor on our team here. The combination of the Prolotherapist and Chiropractic approach has been great for our cervical dysstructure cases. Of course, you're entitled to your opinion of medical doctors too.

It can also cause seizures. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy because of it but my dad brought me to a chiropractor after the hospital's couldn't figure it out. After a treatment plan the vertebrae stopped pressing on my vagus nerve and my grand mal seizures stopped completely. It's been about 13 years and I haven't had a seizure of any kind since. This seems to be something that people haven't quite figured out yet that really would help a lot of seizure sufferers and even rid them of their seizures completely like it did for me.

I have had xmany health issues throughout my life. Around 1985 I started having neck issues. It started with a reverse curvature of the C spine. Now I have disc desiccation, broad based herniation, stenosis, spurs and other issues I don't understand from C1 to C7. Until I watched your videos, I had no idea of health problems related to it that I have. GERD, IBS, ringing in my ears, anxiety, horrible headaches, vision, dry eyes and mouth, skin and muscle, trouble swallowing at times, dizziness and blood pressure fluctuations so crazy I had to call an ambulance twice. It was dangerously high the first time and dropped so low that my BP machine couldn't read it the 2nd. I actually dropped to the floor when it was low. The doctors did a lot of tests but had no idea why it was happening. All tests of my heart etc were fine. It still jumps around. I've been on BP medication for 20 years. I'm having a new MRI next week because the last one was 3 years ago. Thank you so very much for this information. I will be talking to my spine doctor about it.

[@djsubliminalreeve]

sounds exactly like me and i cant eat any cereal grains or tubers. i just eat veg fruit and lots of meats and my digestive system calms down a lot but i do have to have digestive enzymes and magnesium everyday. train doing costochondritis back stretches as it will let you have bigger breath intakes and also try squatting/cardio multiple times a week as the legs require more oxygen so its best to get them effiecient. i have had every test under the sun and the doctors could never figure my issues out but i came to the realization that my whole body is out of whack as i constantly felt the same symptoms as you but its better when i stay away from carbs completely make sure i stretch and relax parts of my body. do you have hypermobility by any chance as it runs in my family and we all have the same issue.

How this came to my feed & just happened to fit my conundrum; is a miracle in itself. This is something NONE of the gastro doctors I've seen have ever taken the time to consider. I have major neck damage & my gut does nothing, no gas, bloating or pain, but terrible constipation no matter how healthy & minimally I eat. I basically feel numb & nothingness in my gut. The doctors tell you "more fiber" which makes it majorly worse or they give you a drug like Linzess. I mentioned that I wondered if there were a possibility of my neck & back nerves interfering, and the doctor said "that would be very rare, one would only see that in someone with paralysis in a wheelchair." That doctor is the big deal in the Hudson Valley of NY... frightening. On a sidenote; he must hear about Jeff Goldblum on a daily basis.

[@crazyratlady3438]

Agreed, found this quite accidentally and it's so very fitting for what I've been dealing with for a few yrs, seems some type of "divine" intervention going on. The constipation is brutal, like my intestines have just shut down. I've got a whole list of other symptoms too that I just knew were connected. I've got old injuries which have caused some serious structural abnormalities. Who knew being crooked could cause such havoc lol.

[@yasminelove3665]

What a breath of fresh air, doc! My loved one has many symptoms which I believe are related to the vagus nerve, at least partly due to a possible sliding hiatus hernia, including left arm pain which is often relieved by belching, shortness of breath when he bends over, occasional IBS, lack of appetite/weight loss, occasional lip tingling, ongoing anxiety, neck pain/grinding, headache, occasional high blood pressure, lightheadedness/dizziness (possibly from ace inhibitor). Of course, because of his age his doc wants to put him through all the typical cardiac tests first. I get it, but I really don’t think his heart is the issue. His EKG was perfect, he does not have chest pain or nausea, his LDL is a bit high but so is his HDL and his triglycerides are low. The preponderance of evidence, and the timing of the symptoms suggests a vagus nerve issue, in my humble, uneducated opinion.

For constipation it's a constant balance of fiber and water, so what helps me immensely is Celery Juice. It activates hydrochloric acid. Fruit fiber like pears, apricots, different varieties of apples can be too much fiber for me. Eat your water like melons, strawberries, etc... and it doesn't hurt to research and get a good para cleanse. I get mine from the source I mentioned before, it's natural Chinese herbs by the way. I have suffered with most of the things mentioned in this video for the last 8yrs and this video is life changing for me.

Ever since I had a pretty much 24 hour bug (threw up 3 times that day), I have had severe digestion issues! My regular doctors are so incredibly clueless it’s not even funny. They mentioned none of this, told me my concerns about my stools and lack of digestion, were all anxiety. Told me she didn’t want to hear about that and that un-digested food was completely normal. Like yeah right. Anything fatty is going right through me. The symptoms have been nothing short of terrible. Bloating, inflammation, difficulty breathing at times, horrible constipation, nausea, I even get super hot from it, like hot flashes and have to cool myself with cold water immediately. I spoke with a specialist on Friday, who told me about my Vegus nerve. I am getting quotes from doctors in Mexico. I have an appointment with a local surgeon on august 9th. After 12 years of being told it was too small to repair, I am done messing around. I have to get these symptoms addressed asap.

Fast forward about 15 years: I still have tinnitus despite enrolling in a clinical trial using rTMS treatment and now I also have some of the gastrointestinal problems you described. I can only eat a child's portion in one sitting. I'm determined to find out how to (safely) do self-vagus nerve stimulation. My insurance deductible is too high so I'm on my own. Videos like yours provide valuable information for people like me, as well as others who might not be able to get a definitive diagnosis. I have much respect for you and so much gratitude. Thank you!

I love your videos so very much! I wish I lived closer to your office. I love in NC and have suffered for about 17 years with pinched nerve pain that brings on the most excruciating pain imaginable at times from C1C2 issues. Doctors here don't offer help or solutions. I feel you are the FIRST doctor to truly understand what some of us suffer through with these conditions and issues. God bless you 😇🙏

[@leejuro]

I met Dr. Hauser many years ago, when I used to live in Chicago. Now he also has an office in Florida. Perhaps, you can set up a telephone call with him, and see if you are prone to this kind of Prolotherapy I did with him.

Hi Louise, Thank you very much for your kind words. So sorry to hear that you have been suffering from pinched nerve degenerative pain for so long! We treat many patients who travel from North Carolina. We do offer Skype consults and case reviews if you would like our team to review your case and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you all the best in health! Take care for now.

[@DeantheGM]

My wife is going through the pinch nerve situation as well and we started seeing a chiropractor since doctors aren't helping other than giving nausea medicine. The chiropractor is slowly but surely helping more with every appointment and we have a series of exercises to do that help. If it is the same as hers, you should try stretching your neck both left and right while lightly pinching the neck muscle. But ultimately, I suggest finding a chiropractor to get some help along with his advice.

[@louisegross3200]

@@DeantheGM I do stretch daily. I've had a chiropractor since I was 18. Also have a massage therapist at my chiropractor. When you consistently never get your quality of life back, to the point you can't even lift a box without paying for it later, or even sit in a car where certain seats and headrest put your spine in an uncomfortable way that caused you to deal with extra pain for a day or two, doctors should realize that you need further help. I LOVE HOW in Caring rehab's videos they mention working to CORRECT SPINAL ALIGNMENT! They want to solve your problem not just treat the symptoms. .... So glad your wife is doing better! Surely do wish her well!

Thank you so much for this... I have ME/CFS and have experienced gut issues, especially bloating for years not understanding the cause. What you said about fat malabsorption, that you can tell you have it if your stool floats helped me to realize that’s my problem! Now I know why my skin is so dry too and why I did well on a keto diet. I’m so glad I found this video! Thanks again.

Wow, I went off my low carb diet and this started happening. I'm back on it now and already feeling better. Still need treatment for the vagus nerve though. I have tinnitus too.

[@missbeaussie]

Why does it explain why you did well on keto? Is it because you had an excess of fat which caused you to absorb more of it?

[@chandrafournier6123]

Yes, that’s my understanding… I think I was lacking good fats. I didn’t stay on keto but I’m more aware of including healthy fats in my diet and it really seems to make a difference

You were better on keto? Usually us with CFS have many reactivated pathogens and high fat diet is not good for us,ot has to be anti viral low fat.

[@goddamnzordan]

@@thartsoe1 I would say 100%. Start by relaxing more and not obsessing about your symptoms. If they are too strong take something for relaxation... research low acidity... especially if you have constipation, you maybe need some enzymes do digest your food... your vagus nerve is off probably because of stress/anxiety and then your stomach can't work properly and than you get your choky feelings from that (and anxiety - globus sensation) and on all that you stress about symptoms :) I personally have app with my chiro but I already am going to therapy (mental), taking enzymes, probiotics, eating clean and meditating in the morning and in the before bed... and occasionally I pop something for relaxing... :D

Thank you for this great info! I have terrible urges to defecate every morning at the same time, and have watery diahrrea 5-10 times a day. Every time I think about going to the toilet, or get close to one, that's when the urge hits the most. I also have an extremely stressful job, and anxiety is really affecting me. I'm praying it is the vagus nerve. UPDATE: I found out that it was the inferior quality coffee that I was drinking! I switched to LOW ACID, clean coffee and it cut my watery stools by 70 percent. Then I switched to DECAF version of the same coffee, and that cut it to 95% stopped. I still get urges, maybe once during the day, and once at around 6 AM, but it's no longer watery. I think the 6AM urge comes from too much cortisol. That's when it peaks. So I narrowed it down to 1. Unclean, cheap caffeinated coffee 2. Acid from the coffee 3. Too much cortisol.

It worked my heart rate was back to normal in about 30-45 mins.

Hi Kenny, Thanks for sharing that. Yes, there are lots of ways to help stimulate the vagus nerve. When it comes to having all of those conditions though, we take it very seriously, as we have some of the most complex and difficult cases come to our clinics with structural problems in the neck that need to be corrected in order to resolve these issues. This way the person does not have to constantly be on alert or having to manage increasingly debilitating symptoms. If you would like our help on your case, we'd be happy to talk with you in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics. We wish you all the best in health and permanently resolving the issues you're having after your EGD procedure. Take care.

[@freiyas]

I have had Ulcerated Colitis for 40 years. Interestingly, everytime a chiropractor adjusts my mid/low back it causes a flare that can last months. I've had to limit adjustments to emergencies only. I've explained this to each Chiro I have visited and none of them could give me an explanation..... frustrating because the connection seemed obvious to me.

[@Sledgehammer1944]

I have had severe chronic pain that started in my neck at age 23. I thought it was all caused from an emotional trauma that I experienced that turned into severe anxiety lasting for several years, then the pain. It started with a crunchiness feeling and sound in the muscles in neck. Then the pain went down into the back. It feels like a constant intense aching, burning feeling. Any amount of stress, or sitting differently, exacerbates it. I have met with many Chiro's who told me I have severe anterior pelvic tilt and some other posture issues, which I spent time trying to correct. I have always felt in my gut (which I also have always had problems with as well) that the source of the problem is not directly related to how I stand and sit but something else.
