I've suffered with constipation all my adult life, it began during pregnancy with my first baby. It was chronic and got worse with each of the 4 children. I struggled to lose weight no matter what diet or exercise program. At age 40 I finally went and had colonic irrigation with a Chinese practitioner.....this was after I had been diagnosed with gall stones which I passed in agonizing pain. I was over weight and felt like garbage. The first day I was on the machine for 2 and a half hours and the amount of old feces that came out was huge. I felt much lighter after amd my swollen belly went down somewhat. I went back the second day and had the procedure again but there wasn't much left and I was completely empty in 10 minutes. The relief was tremendous and I felt much lighter. I stuck to a healthier diet after that but still suffered constipation until I went on a low carb diet and lost a huge amount of weight. The constipation got much better as there wasn't much bulk made up of bread and carbs. Just low fat protein and lots of salads and green veges. It's the only diet that has ever worked for me.

[@jodyel]

Yep, I swear by low carb. i lost 45 lbs. in six months and it was not difficult and I did not deny myself anything. A few crackers, a few chips, a few spoons of ice cream all got me thru and I never felt deprived. Keto was too restrictive but low carb worked great for me. Glad to hear you feel so much better.

I don’t think you were completely cleaned out. Just because maybe not much didn’t come out the second time it doesn’t mean there was no more left lol

[@juanitarichards1074]

Yes I was completely cleaned out after the second session. I felt much lighter and my stomach was flatter. I felt better had much less gas etc. Not only that, we could see what was coming out in a large clear pipe......I could feel the water swirling right up into my upper intestines. They varied the water temperature from warm to cold to stimulate further elimination. At the end they gave me a tablet to put back the natural back the natural flora and fauna. I felt so much better and I slept better. It was a reset for me to eat better and exercise more. It also cleaned out the gall stone debris after I had and passed gall stones, the pain of which was horrendous, as was the nausea. The pain relief prescribed knocked me out and I was in a zombie like state. The buzzing acupuncture needles helped with that, as did the heat lamp applied to my abdomen at the same time. It was after this that I had the deep colonic irrigation, which was very different from an enema, which only cleans the lower bowel out. I could certainly feel the difference. @@MarioHernandez-bn6pm

This is fascinating. Makes me wish so much that I had a normal bowel like he’s explaining. See, I don’t have my own small intestine or about six inches of my colon. I’ve had two small bowel transplants. The first was in 2000, but I rejected it 9 months later. My second was in 2002. I can never explain how grateful I am to my donors and their families for allowing their loved ones to save another human being during their own tragedy. I understand this on a very personal level-from both sides. I was widowed when I was 24 years old and pregnant with my first child. My late husband was a huge proponent of organ donation. He helped save and improve the lives of 18 people. It was the only solace I had in his death. Donors are true heroes. I’ve had over a dozen abdominal surgeries and after my last one, when I got both a small intestine and a kidney, they were unable to reconnect my stomach muscles. Because of this I am able to see all the peristalsis that he’s talking about. I have to physically push on my intestines to move feces through my intestines as my own peristalsis isn’t what yours is. Pooping once a day would be a blessing. For me, it’s up to 20 times a day, and consistently diarrhea. I don’t absorb all the nutrients and almost none of the water in the bowel. I have a permanent port in my chest that I must hook up iv fluid to every day in order not to die of dehydration and destroy my one kidney, which isn’t mine and doesn’t work that well either. But all of this doesn’t really matter, for I am alive twenty one years after they gave me two weeks to live. I am a mom still and my daughters have not had to mourn my death. They have been very afraid, as I’ve spent years in the hospital in total and have flatlined on the table many times. But I’m here today and I appreciate this beautiful world, my doctors and the discoveries in medicine that have kept me going. There are still many people, including doctors I’ve seen, who’ve never heard of a small bowel transplant, but thankfully it’s becoming more common. They’ll learn a lot from my body when I die, and it’s my wish that the knowledge gained will eventually help save the lives of others. Thank you for doing this video. It’s a great opportunity for people to learn about what I see everyday.

With school you get sent there whether you like it or not and spend hours being told to be quiet and not to talk to the other 30 kids jammed into the room with you. Then you get an assignment where you basically have to prove you listened to your teacher by spitting out what they told you back on to paper. Then whether or not you care about what the teachers talked about all day you get a report card at the end of the year so you can see how disappointed your parents are after you’ve spent months half listening to someone talk about math that will never be relevant to your life. That’s why this is easier to follow along with. KZbin creators put work into making what they’re showing you interesting whether it’s playing minecraft or poking dried up dead body parts and talking about poop. But School boards are lazy so instead of trying to make things interesting they just work on forcing children to pay attention to the pointless information that is irrelevant to flipping burgers or mixing coffee for the rest of there life like the other 80 percent of America.

That’s the worst part of the colonoscopy

[@lench45]

I’m scared of that prep! I’m 62 now, but when I was 21, I had to get, not one, but 2 barium enemas. The doc thought she saw something in there, so off I go to get a colonoscopy. It was in the late 70s when this was done. I was taken to a room and put on this table that looked like something I would imagine out of a porn movie. I had to kneel on the bottom, as my body laid over the rest of the table. I was shocked, humiliated, and mortified, when the table began to move my butt up in the air as I laid slanted downward. Without nothing for pain given, which at the time, I had no idea I’d need. The doctor proceeded to push a medium rounded, what I call, light adjuster, inside my butt! I think you can picture the adjuster I’m talking about, when you think of those night reading lights that clasp onto your bed, and you can adjust the light right on to your book so it doesn’t bother your partner. One of those, only much, much longer! It was rigid and the pain began at the sphincter! As he proceeded, I screamed so loud from the pain! When I saw my blood curdling screams was not going to detour him, I then began to beg God to make him stop! About that time, an unassuming young nurse mistakenly meandered over to the front of the table where I was able to reach up and grab her by the collar of her nicely pressed nurses uniform. I had her in my grip, and brought her down to the floor with one bare hand! I held her hostage there while other nurses tried to pry her from my grip! I screamed, STOP, and she goes free! They scuffled with me for a few more minutes trying to get her freed from my death grip. It wasn’t until the nurse on the floor began to cry, just like me, that the doctor said, “let’s stop, it’s not worth it!” I said, YES, OH GOD, YES! It’s not worth someone getting hurt here today! Recently, my doctor has scheduled me several times for a colonoscopy, but I have canceled every time. I just can’t get that out of my head! No matter how many times, “they say,” you won’t feel a thing! Absolute true story and in my medical records!

Thank you for talking about this. You’re a good doctor! I went to a doctor in my twenties because I wasn’t having BMs for more than a week, and when I did, they were like rabbit droppings because I was so constipated. He told me to take a laxative. I asked him how big did my stool should be for him to consider it a good BM? He actually laughed at me and said whatever came out was good. I was furious and never went back to another doctor for years. You see, Mega Colon is a condition many in my family suffered with. At the time, I took the laxative like the doctor said, and, Oh My Gawd, I’d never do that again. I cramped so much and rolled around in severe pain on my bed sweating, before the laxative had time to work all the way down to release!!! My brother, son, and grandson had Mega Colon which produced what I called, “SUPER HUMAN STOOL!” Their BMs were equal in length and circumference of having a baby! Which I would like for you to talk about on here! It is dangerous, as well as, embarrassing for the person who has it. My brother still soiled his underwear until he was 18 yrs old, and had huge bumps like acne, only worse, on his face and nose. He was shamed by my mother until he tried to hide it from everyone. This can’t be hidden, and it’s not their fault! At around 4 yrs old, my son had dark circles under his eyes and a noticeable bloated stomach. He would come in from playing sick and sweaty. I made him rest until he felt better, but I was worried, so I took him to the doctor. Doctor said he was fine and probably had a bug going around. Finally, at 8 yrs old, he began to get a rash all over his body. I thought he was allergic to something and took him into the ER. They gave him a Benadryl shot and sent us home. I knew in my soul something else was going on. The Benadryl didn’t do a thing, so I took him back to the ER. Hallelujah, there was a great Doctor there named Dr. Justice! He immediately had an X-ray done on my son and finally told me what the rash was, and why my child had red blotches all over his body. For those who are going through this same thing, here was what I was told. Dr. Justice said my son had Mega Colon, which I’d never heard of. My sons colon was so packed with huge stool, that his colon wasn’t able to flattened out before, and after, stool moves down, and the colon will then stretch out which gives us the feeling that we need to expel our stool. The colon just stays wide open, therefore, allowing stool to drop out at anytime. He was enacted and is what caused the “super human size stool.” So, from the stool being caught up in the colon so long, and getting bigger, those toxins began to be released through the skin, causing the rash. I didn’t understand why my son, as well as his uncle, were still soiling their underwear at their ages until then. Dr. Justice told me to begin giving my son 2 tablespoons of mineral oil daily with plenty of water and juices. He said it would take about a years time for the colon, which had been stretched so large, to shrink back down to normal flatness so that my son could feel the normal stretching out of the colon for a normal bowel movement. The first question Dr. Justice was asked me was if his stool was unusually large. On my goodness yes, I said! Well, I know this was a long story, but well worth the time reading if your loved one suffers from mega colon. That very night I called my brother, who had just taken 2 laxatives, which Dr Justice said to never give to my son until this was cleared up completely. The laxatives caused my brother to pass out in the bathroom, and my sister had to help him come back around. I told my brother all about taking the mineral oil for a years time with water and juices. Literally within a year or so, they both made a complete recovery! No soiled underwear, which made them both very happy. My brothers face cleared up with no bumps or acne. My sons rash went away as soon as he began expelling the toxic stool. All of that old stool was making my son sick, bloated, and toxins were secreting through his skin. After that, I was able to notice it right away with my grandson and got him right on the mineral oil immediately. All turned out well, but I did research this Mega Colon, and it is genetically passed down. People have died from it. There are images of the size the stools can grow to be and killed the man who had the largest ever seen. This is a worthy topic to talk about to make people informed. Thanks for reading.

True story. I was blocked up when I was in my teens for nearly 3 weeks. I didn't know about laxatives and I never told my parents of my problem cause I was super shy and insecure. 1 day during a camping trip with family I decided it needed to come out no matter what. I knew I had to atleast force it out. I remember walking to the washroom at the campground mustering up my courage to get whatever was in me out. This was not going to be just a "pinching of the loaf" but more of taking a chainsaw to a 3 week old bread nobody wants to eat... I went into the stall, sat on the porcelain throne and then pushed as hard as I can..... And I grunted and grunted till I saw blinking stars shooting out from the washroom stalls door. It felt like I was going Lightspeed on a star fighter... I had FELT whatever was in me come out after a minute of continuous grunting.... And after that I had reached euphoria... And at that moment I knew, I was a new teenager. I wanted to know who my match was before I flushed.. and as I was wiping I made sure the toilet paper was off to the side of the bowl to get a view of my big brown creation.... So as I stood up and looked behind me into the bowl, I saw NOTHING but toilet paper!!!!! To my amazement I was thinking why? What is going on? Is this a hoax? Is God playing tricks on me? After a few seconds knowing nothing big and brown was there I flushed the toilet..... And at that exact moment I flushed, the water started to rise and it was not flushing as it should! Water started to spill off the sides and I quickly B-lined it out of the washroom not even thinking of washing my hands... Till this day I would NEVER know what came out of me or if anything did... But the only proof something big and brown came out of me was that I plugged the toilet. I apologize to the janitor who had to clean up my mess.

Nasty doo doo.

[@TheGor54]

I've been there. But when I took a shit, it was so big that the toilet flushed itself...and it wasn't one of those automatic toilets either.

Do you want hemorrhoids? Because that's how you get hemorrhoids.

[@doncarlson8391]

I can't believe you posted this with your name for all to see. But thanks a ton, I can't stop laughing.

[@jonoghue]

I was not prepared for the whole "It starts when you put food in your mouth, let me show you on this actual severed head" bit at the start

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

I keep thinking all of this is just very life-like synthetic material, but no... I have to keep reminding myself that these are ACTUAL BODY parts that were like... On a REAL LIVING HUMAN at one point.... Very creepy.

[@TREVASLARK]

Yes....creepy, but necessary !@@ThallanarRabidtooth

At the 9:10 mark, learning about Mass Peristalsis, was very enlightening. I often take a large salad to work for lunch and often found I'd be needing to visit the bathroom rather urgently around the end of my lunch break. It got to the point I asked my doctor if I had IBS. Unfortunately it would be trial and error to know what food (part of the salad) was causing this. I don't recall getting this urge after most other meals. But thank you for explaining why this occurs. BTW, I wish you gave a timeline on how long it takes from eating to when it exits the rectum - out of curiosity.

You guys are brilliant and this channel is simply FASiNATNG!!! Keep em' coming!

i always thought it was common sense that the intestinal tract couldn't have 10 lbs or more of poop at any given time. seeing all these "health claims" being spewed about it concerns me because i wonder what constant ingestion of laxatives does to the gut. i'm glad he broke it down especially showing the weights.

[@swetaroy2297]

Human body is like a fascinating machine and btw I love watching your videos, they are very informative.

Excellent presentation. Thank you for clarity , concise information

[@TBOT001]

Thank you for explaining it as simple and clear as possible. I love your videos. They’re very informative and helpful.

*It is such a relief to hear medical facts being spoken and none of the crunchy mlm nonsense.* *Thank you, it is beyond refreshing and deeply appreciated.* 🙏🏻

[@Iquey]

This really leads me to wonder what all the weird stringy gunk is that comes from these "cleanses" is it the bowel cleansing product itself, like pieces of clay and psyllium just balling together to look like "worm carcasses" or is it blobs of people's intestinal flora peeling off, possibly doing more harm than good?! I'm asking this with sincerity because I cannot stand scammy or gimmicky products that lead you to believe something more is happening other than what is actually happening. Example: Asian foot bath cleanses where the water turns black but it's a simple chemical reaction, not toxins leaving through your feet.. or peeling skin exfoliation scrubs that contain glue to make you believe more dead skin is coming off than really is.

[@janeilnold5863]

Now whenever I poop more than once a day, I'm going to refer to it as an "added bonus poop."

[@bobbycarmichael2562]

Absolutely fascinating. This is why I love KZbin!! Stumbled on your channel for this video.But seeing the cross sections of the body has me intrigued to watch more so awesome stuff man 😊

[@sproglode]

Absolutely riveting and educational. A great presentation, thanks, learned such a lot from this video.

[@lenarael]

THANK you so much for explaining the whole "toxic sludge" thing. People are so reluctant to believe this, which is great for the "cleanse" industry but just not consistent with reality. I'm a retired NP who spent hours in my career explaining this to patients. Now they can just watch your videos.

[@user-db5cp4eh9k]

But it’s true though. You ever wonder why humans walk around saying “shit!” “You’re full of shit!” “bullshit!”

Youre mom😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅🤣🤣🤣

Most people have a problem with toxic sludge in their brains not their intestines. 😅

As someone who has dealt with some level of constipation my whole life, though particularly bad in the last few years, this is the stuff I wish people had explained. This helps me better understand what's really going on.

[@penrar]

Haritaki is the answer. I regularly bloat and nothing empties me like a teaspoon of haritaki in warm water. Tastes nasty but works in 2hrs. Enjoy!

[@matheussanthiago9685]

have you tried eating more fibers tho?

[@annemaster5254]

Senna tea leaves! Guaranteed results!.

[@ROBOK2K7]

@@penrar Thank you for recommending Haritaki. Just ordered a 500g bag of well rated Haritaki off Amazon for my crippling Constipation. Fingers crossed.

[@penrar]

@@ROBOK2K7 Enjoy that empty feeling, and stock up on loo roll haha

I am always fascinated by our bodies / skeletons ect. I would have loved to work in medical field , but can't stomache bodily smells. I find these videos educational and very well presented.

[@corenaerithjames4710]

Thanks for sharing I am so fascinated with these information you posts.

[@ninjasquee2475]

Amazing video. Could you do a short adding to this talking about what causes IBS and stomach aches. Also would love to learn more about the bacteria in the large intestines, aka the poop chute.

[@victorvelasquez3719]

11:08 hey Ben, my dad's a GI surgeon, already in retirement after 50 years of practice. He's has taught me quite a lot of medicine, anatomy and physiology of human body but the way you explain this subject is comparable or maybe better than my dad's lol 😅 Here a BIG like for your job 👍🏼💯

[@EHB4323]

Your presentation was very informative 'and' humorous and I just wanted to thank you for making me smile at some of your comments. I had no intentions of really wanting to know the facts about poop but you presented this so well I ended up watching the whole video! And yes, I did subscribe! Cheers, Erik

[@QuietChaos88]

You're very good at what you do. I always learn so much. On the subject of the GI track (tract?), I'd love to hear more about what goes sideways as in IBS, Crones, etc. Also, how do nutrients survive the hydrochloric acid mix to then do a body any good? Till next time!

[@dawnadriennetaylor970]

Tract in UK. Track in US.

[@Cricket2731]

​@@dawnadriennetaylor970, "tract" in the US, too.

[@jyang1711]

This is informative. I now have an insight into the process of digestion and constipation. Thanks.
