Today we’re going to talk about how to get rid of constipation. Specifically, we’re going to talk about what to do if you have constipation after starting the ketogenic diet.
For people who have had chronic constipation before starting the keto diet, you may need a deeper evaluation by your doctor. A natural laxative may also be a helpful constipation remedy.
Here’s what you could consider if you started having constipation after starting keto:
1. Adjust your vegetables
A. Try increasing or decreasing the number of vegetables you consume.
B. Try different types of vegetables.
C. Switch to fermented vegetables or consume some of your vegetables raw, and some of them steamed.
2. Add bile salts
3. Add potassium
4. Add a probiotic
5. Add an herbal laxative
6. Add vitamin B1
*MCT oil may also help

Normally I am quite regular, often (not always) to the point of diarrhea. But three weeks ago (after having blood in my urine from a kidney stone issue) and watching your videos, I added lemon water to my diet, cut down on my sugar and fruit intake and started eating more vegetables. Since that time I have gotten some light constipation (not going every day) so will have to try some things in your video. Thankfully I already passed the kidney stones, with the help of the lemon water.

This is excellent, and so important. Emotional issues can cause constipation also, anyway that was mainly my problem. I myself, was on an herbal laxative by Nature's Sunshine for 30 years. It did not cause side effects at all. Just softened the stool slightly, and kept me regular. Years later, I sought a homeopathic doctor out for many reasons; one of them being, I could always stop pain and flu symptoms consistently with a mild homeopathic remedy for $10. I said to myself, "why not talk to homeopathic specialist about other problems." The homeopathic specialist I chose, moves one through the process slowly, looking for one's primary constitutional remedy. After a year on different remedies, my constipation went away. I no longer need herbal help, and it has been 3 years. I will tell you that I used to hold in my feelings
