Let’s talk about the #1 nutritional deficiency behind constipation: a vitamin B1 deficiency. A severe vitamin B1 deficiency is called beriberi.
Constipation is essentially a problem with peristalsis-it’s not working properly, and you’re not pumping waste through the body. But if we look even deeper, this issue is related to the autonomic nervous system.
The autonomic nervous system is intimately involved with the gut. When you don’t have enough vitamin B1 (thiamine), a lot of things can go wrong with the autonomic nervous system-which then affects the gut.
A thiamine deficiency can also cause other problems in your gut that may lead to constipation, including:
• Low stomach acid
• Decreased gastric mobility (gastroparesis)
• Decreased pancreatic enzymes
• Biliary dyskinesia
A diet high in refined carbs and sugar is one of the primary causes of a B1 deficiency.
I’m not against herbal laxatives, as long as you’re also trying to correct the root problem-this means getting enough B1. Make sure you consume a natural vitamin B1 (thiamine) supplement, not a synthetic version.

I had constipation for 7 years. It was so bad I would drink coffee, laxative teas, take diuretic supplements. Nothing worked long term i would just get worse. My belly was distended and people would ask me if I was pregnant. Anyway, I started working with Mary Ruddick and she put me on high doses of B1 in the form of mega benfotamine. I was still constipated I had to take Magnesium supplements to poop for 1 year and was still suffering. After that I got help from Elliott Overton. He has a thiamine paradoxical reaction pdf he sells and I highly recommend it. He told me to add in B5 and suddenly after 7 years I could poop on my own without a diuretic. In his pdf he adds a lot of supplements that help restore the vagus nerve function. And also he recommends taking B1 in the form of TTFD or mega benfotamine. You need tudca, Magnesium, potassium, b1, b5, Bacopa monnieri, and full spectrum digestive enzymes. I poop 2x sometimes 3x a day now. Complete evacuation.

Whatever you decide to specialize in I said a prayer for you to excel and love your job. Also for you to truly keep the desire to help your patients. That being said I wanted to share just a little of what doctors who don't really care about their patients got me. I have chronic all over physical pain. Diagnosed with fibromialgia, RA and osteoarthritis. To be clear I really don't blame my 10 year opiate addiction on any of my previous doctors. The opiate epidemic was horrible for everyone even the doctors. There is a place for pain meds but please trust that a relationship with Jesus will lead you to a distant relationship with pain meds and your patients. I'm 54 yrs old and have only met one doctor who truly wants to help others and she's a PA for now. I've never been into trouble with the law or doctors bit it's just because I never got caught. Jesus led me one day to an outpatient program almost 6 yrs ago called Gateway to Recovery. An amazing place that I still attend 3 times a month for sobriety maintenance. I have an amazing counselor that I've done sessions that have excluded EMDR treatment for PTSD. Very successful stuff. I was in the MAT program that included random drug tests and suboxone. My marriage, family and life were all saved. My life isn't perfect but it is amazing. Last thing I want you to know is I've gotten my pain under control with IF and avoiding sugar as much as I can. I'm looking forward to growing herbs to make infused oil drops with. People are awake to big Pharma now so taking the time to really help others will bring you a great career and fortune, I know it will. Most of all I give Jesus all the glory and credit for my success. God bless you and apologies for the long reply 😊

B1 is the team leader

[@gutmicrobiomequeen]

@@karenyoung5786 actually, truthfully, I don't see B1 causing constipation very often. I see it somewhat frequently in people with histamine issues, POTS, IBS and SIBO, though. Iron and Magnesium deficiency are far more common and cause constipation specifically more often than B1 deficiency does. (Please note, I measure B1, Iron, Mg, and B12 on nearly all of my patients, so I have quite a bit of clinical experience to base this on)

[@karenyoung5786]

@@gutmicrobiomequeen I have generational beriberi and know the disease intimately and all systems related. The statement you made is incorrect, B1 deficiency is a major cause of constipation. Few dr. don't know about the transketolase lab which was discontinued. Patients are suffering with sub clinical deficiency and do not know it, because it does not always test positive on other labs. SIBO and IBS "yes" but "no" to constipation does not make sense. Dr. Berg has illustrated this and has vast knowledge of Dr. Lonsdale's research. I recommend buying Dr. Mars and Dr. Lonsdale book on B1 deficiency it is written for doctors.

Great video!! I believe this must be where my problem began even though I have been taking vitamin B. Had been dealing with constipation for at least 2 years. My chiropractors had detected gall bladder issues a long time ago but nothing of what they tried exactly totally helped but my diet even though I had been more careful about things after watching your videos for years, I hadn’t quite fully stopped the many carbs and especially the sugar. Had covid this past January and am sure that’s why it attacked my already inflamed digestion. I as of recent have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer. When I knew before this that things were more serious I did FINALLY cut out so many carbs and cut out sugar. I’ve heard you repeat this over and over but it’s taken me this long under a serious condition to finally know the seriousness of it☹️. Now I have a real battle that lays in front of me but I thank you for all the knowledge I have gained through your education of all things so I feel a bit less stressed about it Although scared about it too. Thankful for your videos with Guy Tanenbaum and Fred Evrard. Starting somewhat similar protocol as theirs but starting out with a few bumps along the way but a deep conviction in the God I worship knowing He is the true healer of all! 💗

[@kimboyd8128]

Praying for healing and quick restoration of your health….my dad is a colorectal cancer survivor…he still has gut issues from the surgeries (no colostomy bag 🙏🏻) …. But he could do better if he would take more vitamins & eat more nutrient dense foods less carbs… the long term effects from the radiation treatments are his issues now…he only did 1 round of chemo then refused the follow up chemo post surgeries (which was the best FOR Him.. he couldn’t tolerate chemo) … he’s cancer free for 9 years (15yrs from diagnosis) with regular health checkups with his internists, oncologist, & now heart dr(result of radiation🙄)…. Plzzzz continue with to focus on using your foods, vitamins & minerals to heal your gut …poor absorption (of iron especially) has led to the ailments my dad has now even though he has always been at a healthy weight & fit… please rest(sleep as much as u can while going through everything) & DE-STRESS as much as possible!!! You & your family will be better for it in the long run ….God Bless you & family & friends during your journey of recovery.

Thank you Kim Boyd. Very interesting to hear of your dad’s experience and wish him continuing good health! At the moment, they want to do temporary bag via surgery and then radiation and chemo to shrink tumor 🙄. Then surgery to remove tumor and reattach colon getting rid of bag and then more chemo. I despise both the radiation and chemo and read nothing good about it (in fact Dr Berg has the video on the negatives of it). Just feel railroaded right now into these procedures and just really the majority of people think it’s the right way to go. Going to see another chiropractor tomorrow as she has dealt with quite a few cancer patients in the past with success. In the meantime, I’m floundering around but continue to research and of course above all….prayer!

[@michaelpepper885]

This channel is awesome! Reeeeeespecting Dr. Berg culture. A healthy gut is, in my opinion, the key to everything. I'm an international chef for 25 years now. What feels like a lifetime ago, I read a book written by a chef who lived as a Buddhist monk in Tibet for a long time. He puts forth the idea , that's really not even a new idea , about what came first "the chicken or the egg". However many of millions of years ago , the gut came first. Hence this amazingly strong , adaptable and absorbing organ with complex bacteria. The gut than created the brain to make it more efficient at eating. which in return created mobility through the use of limbs. A healthy gut , absorbs nutrients effectively and disperses it or reserves it. The bottom line is, through its actions a healthy gut keeps inflammation from happening. Inflammation is more or less the root cause of any disease, illness or ailment. Any part of the body can experience inflammation, from the pinky toe to the brain . The side effects are vast depending on the location but like a domino effect , are all connected. Theirs something like twenty seven or more amino acids. You require at least twelve for the body and mind to develop and remain healthy. You can survive off nine of them but you're just going to be dying on the vine. You'll be a clone with no cognitive process and riddled with health problems. You'll be in a state of arrested development. Todays food is controlled under the umbrella of Vangaurd investments, who owns over 70% Monsanto ( Johnson &Johnson )and Proctor & Gamble ( these two make GMO's and just about 90% of all brand foods in every supermarket) , as well as Phizer , JEM and YUM restaurant groups ( Pizza Hut and almost all commercial fast food) and many other things , I won't get into. Unfortunately we all invest into as well. This food is no good , it's full of preservatives, soy, saw dust, round up and you name it. Most of it is Grade D dog food. We have been consuming this crap since we were children sitting under fluorescent mercury light bulbs at school five days a week . We are all to blame for this , no fingers can be pointed but now that we all see what we've done and we're doing and what could come, we can change this.

Doc,you are amazing! I have all the symptoms of B1 deficiency and run from doctor to doctor and get all kind of medication,...from their specialty, but no effects! None of them treats the body as a unitary whole. A big thank you

[@Drberg]

Very glad to be of help.

[@martyi398]

Great info doctor, my grandma always preached an apple or a prune or 2 a day to help keep things going, it’s something I added recently to my daily diet routine and it has really helped, i don’t take any supplements or any meds for that matter and receive all my nutritional needs through foods, all blood work has been good

[@taybak8446]

Thank you for your compassionate videos Dr. Berg. I have chronic constipation and have tried everything. Now I will try vitamin B1.

[@aprilmartian5837]

Have you tried vitamin B1, if so is it helping any?

[@Rrrrcc4666]

Dr. Beg has greater knowledge than any GP in America. He makes people understand the root cause of problems.

[@jeanmader2302]

I was just explaining paristalsis to my husband, who was having some constipation issues. I just got him stool softeners, and I am encouraging him to drink Chamomile tea first in the morning instead of coffee, which is a diuretic, that can dry up the stools, causing his problem. I am not a nurse, but moms have to be on top of the family health, just by osmosis, lol. If he will listen...we will see.

[@babajaiy8246]

If the constipation is leaning towards being dry then it is likely he has a Vata type constipation and should follow a Vata pacifying diet and lifestyle - The constipation will clear up. For example, again if it's Vata related and especially in the cold dry season - avoid raw foods like apples, salads....but on the other hand cooked apples with butter can have the opposite effect. Just get to know his body and what is and isn't suited. Not all cases are because of B1 deficiencies.

Brilliant advice (once again!) from Dr Berg ... thank you so so much Dr for educating us all on what we really should be made aware of! Your videos and explanations are really easy to follow but IMHO give us the science and reasoning behind these subjects to motivate us! Brilliant "public service"

[@ubedlohani]

That's what I've been thru recently... Taking so much of Enzymes, laxatives (both Stools softners and Stimulants type) and exerting lots of pressure during the bowel movements.. but I didn't feel like being emptied properly.. Thanks to the you Sir and also the youtube.. I'll try this remedy and hopefully It would work for me.. Can't wait to post another postive comment after seeing the results.

[@glengeen75048]

Interesting. I am/was T2D. I stopped statins and added CoQ10 and B-complex vitamin to my routine. One thing that I noticed while on statins was that my feet hurt all the time. It literally hurt to walk. It was better barefoot than with shoes. I did not realize that my feet stopped hurting until I just saw this video. My goal was reduce belly fat, and reverse liver damage cause by statins. The former is successful as I had to buy smaller pants and I dropped 5-7 pounds within 30 days doing nothing else. Your videos are always very informative.

I think nutritional yeast would be a good source not only for B1 but for the rest of the B vitamins at the same time. I never thought about using it for constipation. I only knew it could help with heart issues.

That's fascinating, I had no idea B1 was involved in this process. Knowledge is power, thank you!

[@Drberg]

Most welcome!

[@KenshinPhoenix]

@@Drberg Thank you for being a beacon of what medicine and health should be. The allopathic paradigm has long ago abandoned the oath. Imagine a world where doctors addressed the links between nutrition, toxicity, and disease, as the primary focus. Sickness leads to fatigue and suffering and the decay of humanity. Helping to change lives for the better is a great contribution to humanity collectively, and will ultimately decide if our species has a future at all. With enough Dr. Bergs we have a good chance. We here all salute you.

I wonder if switching to fresh (unpasteurized) milk would be a problem for someone who is lactose intolerant? Fresh milk contains the living enzyme (lactase) necessary for the body to digest and assimilate the lactose contained in milk.

I am healthy, dont eat out, dont take any drugs, 120 lbs fit, work out regularly, ferment everything, grow lots of my own food, also cook for a living....But 2 years ago I started taking collagen powder for bettering my skin. Did take it for almost 9 months. I got super constipated but never realized why. I forgot to take my collagen for about 4 days and I had normal bowel movement....so not realizing that collagen might be a problem I start taking it again and again I had super constipation.....so then I realized why , the brand was Great Lakes. Destroyed me. Will never touch collagen again!

I never had constipation until 2020 when I got a major depressive episode. I got over most of the emotional stuff in 2021, but the constipation persisted until it became chronic. I don't know what caused my constipation. The only thing I can think of is maybe that depression and stress I experienced. Other than that, I eat healthy (I have a diet similar to Keto.), and I take vitamins when I'm missing something in my diet. I'm not sure how I got to such a sorry state as I am right now. I am now almost constantly on natural laxatives, sometimes I have to use stronger unnatural ones. I'll definitely try your advice, though. Thanks doc!
