[@vihta545]

I don't know...I'm 38 and for as long as I can remember I was in the category explained in the vid: Wake up, poop, wait 30-45 minutes poop again. That got me to araund early afternoon when bloating really started and I usually had to go again. My diet was very high fiber as I love veggies. I just accepred it as my fate. For the last 3 weeks I cut out all the fiber and only went with meat, eggs, butter occasional cheese and a hand full of berries and the bloating is gone. Also I go once in the morning and that's it. I'm now moreconvinced than ever, that what works great for one person might be completely detremental for another especially in the world of nutrition.

[@allenbrost9564]

This is backed up by some studies. Australian study showed that when they removed fiber from a constipated group, the constipation went away. Also large study showed people that ate high fiber had more cases of Diverticulosis.

[@eviltwinnancy4561]

OMG me too. I have the exact same bowel routine as you. Bristol scale perfect yet I've got the bloat. I am also very high fiber. Been sitting on the fence about reducing the fiber.

[@JohnSmith-op7ls]

Too much fiber isn’t good either, it’s been correlated with higher rates of colon cancer, probably due to causing more physical damage to the colon. All things in moderation.

[@englewoodmusic]

I'm almost 38 and I feel like you were literally describing me lol

[@Ggianni10]

same story here. When I was vegan, I was shitting once a day, very easy movements, still bloated. Once I cut out fiber, the bloating stopped even though the bowel movements were less frequent.

[@dennisward43]

I got rid of my chronic constipation of over 40 years simply by raising the levels of my stomach acid (betaine hcl, apple cider vinegar and cod liver oil capsules) and taking a broad spectrum of digestive enzymes. I also reduced the amount of fibre I ate. Now I can eat fibre again and reduce acid and enzymes. Magnesium (citrate and glycinate) did nothing for my constipation once I got used to it.

I used to have a lot of problems with gerd (acid reflux) and the most common treatment for it was ant-acids. Instead the exact opposite was what was really needed. I started on heavily diluted apple cider vinegar before meals, stopped eating lots of highly processed sugary food and the acid reflux disappeared in days. The mainstream experts don't always know best.

Drinking adequate water never hurts. Fiber can make you even more bloated if your not a regular fiber eating person.

[@benmoore5401]

Wrong. That’s not true someone can consume fiber for months and still get bloating, in fact fiber isn’t necessary to survive. So I don’t know why ppl are pushing “oh consume 30-40 grams or more fiber to take away gut problems”

[@vanessac1965]

Relying on magnesium citrate to move your bowel or any laxative could theoretically lead to reduced motility and reliance long term. I take those to counter iron supplement constipation, but it's a trade off. It's about finding the kind of fibre you can tolerate. I am great with fruit for eg but legumes and grains wreck me. Other people struggle with fruit. It depends on your biome. Movement is extremely important for gut motility. Especially twisting, squatting and folding movements which we used to get before sitting all day.

[@zoty314]

I would have only one question. What type of magnesium test does Dr. Will Bulsiewics refer to? I only know two types: serum and urine magnesium levels. Though I'm not sure about the accuracy of those since most of the magnesium is in our cells, at least as I understood form many different sources. So I would like to know if there is any other possible test to have more accurate results? Or am I wrong and one of them is good enough? If yes, which one? Thanks in advance.

[@AttunedFlux]

Very succinct and valuable information. Theres a lot of confusing and seemingly conflicting info out there about digestion and constipation. I hear that SIBO is also a culprit for bloating, gas and IBS. I wonder how connected SIBO is to constipation.

[@lookfeelbehealthy6320]

Magnesium and fiber do NOT address the underlying cause of constipation. Constipation is caused by some type of microorganism, whether it's mold, yeast, SIBO, H-pylori, parasites, and/or a virus. These pathogens end up lowering your body temperature, which cause a lack of enzymes to break down food, hence the constipation, which doctors will refer to as IBS. The FIRST thing anyone should do is test for all of these pathogens to see which one(s) you have, then treat that illness. Once that happens, you need to heal the gut (leaky gut) with colostrum or glutamine, depending on which your body tolerates better, and combine it with a good aloe. These supplements will NOT work until you've cleared the pathogens, since they can't fight though them and get to the wall of the gut. All magnesium and fiber will do is mask the problem. They don't fix the problem. This is the main problem with most medically trained GI doctors. They have no idea of the actual cause of digestive issues and how to fix them on a causal level.

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

While I disagree with the absolute nature of your statement, I do agree that what you describe is one cause of constipation or general digestive issues. I also found the gentleman in the video to be useless as tits on a bull informationwise. Imma paste the comment I made on this video to demo how I felt... "He is making very bold claims without any causation whatsoever. Lemme keep this critique simple and short. If most people who are bloated are also constipated that not only DOESN'T mean that constipation causes bloating it COULD mean bloating causes constipation. This is why if you want to be a professional you have to have some proof of causation in one direction. If we are just gonna make shit up i can do that too. Imma say bloating causes constipation and ill add causation.. bloating constricts the bowels making it harder for bowel mobility. Gee, that seems pretty simple and obvious. Idk if its true or not, but at least i gave a causation with my hypothesis unlike this clown. I'm not even in this field of study and I'm holding myself to a higher standard than he holds himself to. It's a shame there is a market based entirely on contrarian thinking. It doesn't matter what you're saying as long as it's not being said already you can make a name fpr yourself. Gross On the bright side i didnt have to listen to thomas reference another rodent study as if its ground breaking life changing information"

[@lookfeelbehealthy6320]

@@Thee-_-Outlier Every single health condition has a root cause of some type of toxicity.

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

@@lookfeelbehealthy6320 even if that were true it doesn't mean the toxicity is local to where the symptoms occur. The toxicity may not even involve that system. Regardless, your statement is not true because there absolutely are genetic mutations and combinations that manifest as a condition or disease. It's not toxicity that causes down syndrome or cerebral palsey, you should know, you have the former. That's a joke, but for real that is why I don't agree with the absolute nature of what you're saying. I only go as far as toxicity is underappreciated as a root cause for many diseases and conditions. Also I believe cancer is a metabolic disease stemming from mitochondria damage preventing celular respiration and then mutating to ferment for energy instead of respirate. This damage to the mitochondria though could be caused by anything. It could be from toxicity or it could a result of trauma from a car accident. How the cell was damaged is irrelevant to cancer forming. Why? Because each instance of autophagy is a chance for cancer to form. It's simply the result of cell damage that causes cancer...of course other things must happen like the random mutation to fermentation to accommodate the inability to respirate. Normally that damage would kill the cell but laws of probability coupled with how many iterations of cell damage and repair occur mean cancer forming is inevitable and the causation is all encompassing not narrow and limited to toxicity. FYI, "only a sith deals in absolutes" - Obi-Wan Kenobi

[@lookfeelbehealthy6320]

@@Thee-_-Outlier First of all, I'm a holistic health practitioner who's been working with clients for 20 years, so what I say is absolutely true. Secondly, you're correct on the specific conditions you pointed out, so I'll clarify and modify what I said slightly. Conditions people are born with are not due to toxicity. Again, you're correct on that front. However, EVERY condition that a person develops later in life has an origin of toxicity of some kind. NO exceptions.

[@gerafinali4384]

So much of my guts issues went away when I stopped eating brown bread. Constipation, bloating, farting madly..

[@seahog32]

So this doc first talks about 2 types of magnesium (more like magnesium compounds, because the actual magnesium element is the same in all of them) stressing that only those with low to zero absorption help with bowel movements (by retaining water in the bowel lumen) and then jumps into the blood magnesium levels that can be measured and apparently are low in most Americans. But those are obviously not influenced by the magnesium that can't/isn't absorbed and is helping with the motility of the bowel contents. Someone is confused here.

[@Paul_n_Texas]

I agree. Is the compound needing the magnesium as a mechanism to achieve results? Or, can you just use an increase in the singular compound and achieve the same results?

The other guy however, I am being a dick to because he is a clown selling snake oil in the form of online courses. I would love to hear tho, why you think this channel isn't for me?

Oops… I’m sorry, I’m the one who is in the wrong channel… Okay, I’m 58 and I’m the proud owner of a completely refurbished colon. Yes, a colon that’s has been bleeding since I’m 13. The doctor and me can’t get enough of my last colonoscopy video showing 90% improvement compared to my previous two colonoscopies when they had to cut a few polyps, big mess! (My father died at 53, colon cancer) How I did it? Long story, but some of the stuff this doctor is talking about came to play in my case. He just didn’t have the time to explain himself. But I guess you’re right with the points you are explaining. Love to see you are just poking fun at Tom and you are not a hater. Peace!!!

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

@38kenaly I'm glad. I take my digestive system seriously as well. I'm 50, and my grandfather had a colostomy because of cancer surgery. My gut health and nutrition are a top priority, and I eat with purpose. I'm not insinuating that there is no good advice to be had in this guy's words, but I will add the caveat that even a blind squirrel finds the occasional nut. Kudos and good luck with your health Oh, let me make a comparison to a more obvious example of the archetype at play I take issue with regarding this guest in the video. I liken him to a Dr. Gundry who hustles info about leaky gut. Is leaky gut a real problem? Absolutely!!! My issue with guys like this and Dr. Gundry is that they economically gate keep some supposed secret, often exaggerated, extreme, or contrarian approach to a legit problem such as leaky gut, IBS or whatever. Keeping with the Gundry example, imo his marketing strategy is to fear monger as many common food items as he can. They do this knowing a fixed percent of ppl will bite because they think, "Oh no, I have tomatoes in my refrigerator; no wonder I have gut pain, lemme watch this free video ad". Then they are in the sales funnel for these jack asses and avoid eating everything under the sun. These guys need to exaggerate, etc, because they need extra secret food items on the avoid the list because why else would you pay for a known list of food items easily found free on the Healthline website or whatever. My point is real infomis free and ubiquitous today, and anyone repackaging that indo and selling is morally bankrupt.

[@Starnes8887]

Can you get dependent on the magnesium citrate though if taken too long consistently? I feel like my issue has been laxative dependency so ive been on Lubiprostone for 2weeks but i feel no urge on that so im thinking of the citrate supplement higher dosage because doc's dont tell me my problem

[@samorr4]

People are different. Some people have their constipation and IBS symptoms relieved by diminishing or eliminating fiber. Bulsiewicz is a a modern -day PT Barnum. And he is very good at that! Humans can fortunately survive on many different types of diets, but some humans do better on one diet as opposed to another. A ketogenic diet has allowed me to lose 50 pounds and eliminate my need for any medicines to control my blood pressure or my blood sugar. It has increased my HDL from 42 to 60 and reduced my Triglycerides from 150 to 60. My LDL has gone up. I have had fatty liver since 2008 but ALT and AST are now 24 and 19 and my GGT is 11. hs CRP is toward the low end of normal. Beyond that, all of my Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms which have been present since I was quite young have vanished. I admit that my walking program is likely responsible for some of my good numbers. I have walked an average of 4 miles a day for 21 months.

I totally get what your saying. I'm of the opinion that Chronic Inflammation of the Bowel is the greater problem for Immobility. Eating a Anti-inflammatory diet such as Carnivore solves the problem without Fiber. Plus the massive decrease in Carbohydrates heals the Intestinal Mucous Membranes which further compounds the health benefits. I look forward to 10 years from now, when Doctors finally have better knowledge to draw from.

[@brianlittrell797]

​@@Level20HTMany people eat a diet that has a lot of fiber and they are healthy and feel great. They eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables with no issues. I personally believe it is because they have all the necessary good bacteria in their gut to properly and easily digest the fiber. That's why people consume fermented foods in order to get the right amount and wide enough variety of good bacteria. Also called probiotics.

Variety of food is more important than anything. All the supplements are compensating for a lack of diversity. I can eat a box of Wheaties and get plenty of fiber and water, but I'll get constipated. But if I eat the same amount of fiber and calories but split it up among 5 different fruits, 5 different nuts, spring mix, various peppers, oatmeal, whole grain pasta, and some whole grain bread with 10 different grains and seeds, then the constipation goes away and the serotonin flows all day like a runner's high, seriously. Adding exercise on top of it makes it that much better. I probably eat 25 different whole food sources of fiber a day, maybe 40 a week. I don't ask you to trust me, I just ask that you give it a try for a few months. Slowly introduce more sources. Don't go from 5 to 30 overnight or your gut will not like it. Drink plenty of water and do strength training, cardio, or both everyday in a manner that is challenging. It's not enough to eat oatmeal, an orange, and iceberg lettuce for your sources of fiber. Diversity is the key.

1000mg of magnesium just to keep your bowels moving? That's almost 3X the upper tolerable limit of magnesium supplementation based upon the Health Professionals Fact Sheet! I call Bulsiewics! I get that this doctor is part of a group that promotes a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle. And I get that he wants to help his people overcome the almost constant farting associated with this lifestyle. But if your diet requires you to take a daily laxative, which is what you are taking when you take 1000mg of magnesium oxide, then maybe there is a problem with your diet. It's not magnesium deficiency. It's not magnesium depletion of the soil. It's your diet.

[@DRourk]

It boggles my mind that he can say it's not diet. It absolutely is. Stop eating sugar and grains. Those will mess you up more than most other things. Get exercise. Moving around, especially walking, absolutely gets the bowels working. Magnesium is important and will certainly help, but guess what? Sugar and grains both deplete the body of magnesium!!! Fiber is not needed in the human diet, though it can help as a temporary medicine to address constipation.

[@beefstyle1]

before you take this as gospel GET YOUR VAGUS NERVE CHECKED. another note, its easy to tell if you have too much magnesium is if you have diarrhea and if that is the case when your taking mag just lower your dose by one pill, most doses are 250mg so its easy.

[@brianlittrell797]

Why should you get your vagus nerve checked?

[@MrSuperj1one]

Alot of protein makes me bloat and gassy

[@Acordeonistain805]

Find the root cause people for example h pylori candida overgrowth or sibo he talked about type of magnesium is best but not the best fiber to take smh 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@armedrebellion47]

Kimchi and some sit-ups work wonders. Also, everyone should take 1/2 cup of prune juice chased down with bottled water at least once a week.

[@brianlittrell797]

Do you have the prune juice warm or cold? How much is half a cup?

[@AnnaLevesque74]

Different forms of fiber.

[@pamelah6431]

Sitting on too high of a toilet doesn't help.

[@janelhartman2847]

nope...it's the food for me. anyone who has gone carnivore knows this😁

[@lucabrazi36]

This is 150% true. But what's causing the problem with motility is MSG which is in mostly processed food! MSG depletes serotonin in the gut so the nerves that trigger the muscles of the intestines become spastic. Spastic colon so food will ferment and causes gas and boosting and chronic inflammation

[@SimplyLeo]

Blows my mind that the comment section thinks they know more than a Doctor who literally spends his whole day treating patients with GI issues...not saying the comments are wrong, but most people has really only treated themselves or a few people around them.

[@sigiligus]

The fact that you fucking capitalised “doctor” tells us everything we need to know about your entire worldview.

[@naterain]

This guy looks like Laowhy86's dad or older brother

[@texastaurus9271]

im pooping and watching this

[@spudwashington3880]

Lol if I had magnesium before bed I wouldn’t sleep , or I’d crap myself in bed lol, no thanks

[@williamyoungblood3988]

Lost me at "bazillion"

[@bigslots3143]

I had terrible heart burn, acid reflux, bloating and gas so bad I could barely move without almost ripping a hole in my pants.....I've been on carnivore for a month and I've never had acid reflux or any of it for the month I've been on carnivore and that means no fiber

[@limitisillusion7]

Is it gas _and_ bloating that is correlated to constipation, or one or the other? Not trying to call myself out, but I have gas. I don't have bloating or constipation though. Intuitively, bloating seems like it would be gas that is not moving in your digestive tract, perhaps because constipation is blocking it. Some gas may still make an exit though. And gas without bloating would insinuate that everything is moving properly. I'm not convinced that gas is bad, and bloating seems to be a result of constipation and gas, not gas in itself.

[@Purple117]

Trapped gas that doesn’t escape can have a correlation with constipation. Bloating too.

[@TheJeffatan]

Fibers?? Carnivore diet past 5 years with sprinkle of fruits..solved my problems!

[@AbbyNormal02]

Magnesium? Yes. Fiber supplement? No. More fiber often equals even more constipation and bloating. Eat more fat ftw.

[@Acordeonistain805]

Fiber only adds more bulk which causes more constipation eat more fat and take magnesium citrate it works ;)

[@jasongreenwood3260]

I checked out this guys Instagram...yikes.

[@LDN_BOX]

Hardly a revelation that’s basic common sense, making an observation such as the cause of constipation is likely lack of stomach acid would be far more interesting!

[@theun-personing5674]

Have some spoilt milk. That get you going. 😂

[@johnathanwetherill456]

Tom . You have to fix this echo in your videos . It is so unprofessional . You need room treatment if you want to make videos . Amateur stuff for how long you have been doing this .

[@carsonturcotte9657]

Bloating is one thing. Gas is another. Make the difference & separate the two. Gas can definitely be caused by high nitrogen food. Call it constipation., or whatever you want. semantics. But certain foods will cause more gas(constipation). Using your terminology. Too much B.S here

[@Purple117]

Gas does cause bloating though. Trapped gas with nowhere to go is just going to expand your belly. That’s not bs. What is bs is saying we need fiber, and that something that is indigestible heals the gut. I feel like since fiber isn’t digestible then we don’t really need it. That’s where he is lying.

[@marcuspriester7990]

💩 pooparoo 🎉

[@michalswiderski507]

thomas lets talk about shit, amazing, yes sure not all magnesium is the same and bullshit like that, what a crap

[@stefanallard3084]

Nr.1 = Prasites

[@armedrebellion47]

I think the number 1 reason for constipation is caused by people not chewing their food properly, especially us men. We can take one bite of a hamburger or steak chew it two or three times and it's gone. We wake up the next day, and can't go to the bathroom like we want to because the stomach is working overtime to break down the meat. Next thing you know you're eating a big breakfast on top of the food that the bile is trying to breakdown. People don't watch how they eat and not even realizing you're just packing food, on top of food, on top of food. Then when your able to go you're stinking up the whole entire house with the smell of death. 🤢🤮 It's bad when you can smell a person through the bathroom door.

[@annettestephens5337]

I feel sad that this Dr is advising to take a supplement rather than giving advice of not putting the offending substance in your gut in the first place. I have healed all my gut issues by NOT eating fibre

[@Purple117]

I agree. These people just blindly agreeing with that guy don’t understand. They don’t understand that anything indigestible you keep consuming, over time that is going to cause problems in the gut. Undigested waste is not going to help anything.

[@Purple117]

Fiber is indigestible.

[@yaboytcell8961]

Fiber is a scam and not needed. I have around 1-2 BM/week and I've never felt better.

[@chrisrhodes2081]

Eat more fiber to push out the fiber that is stuck 😂😅😂

[@scratchandwinner]

Another Dr. That doesn't know what they are talking about.

[@lookfeelbehealthy6320]

You're correct

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

You can always tell how little a doctor knows by how many courses he sells online. The more courses the less legit the Dr. Dr. Steve Gundry is the final form for these snake oil salesman
