Understanding Constipation | Why Am I So Constipated?

[@KickItNaturally]

Let me know what methods you've used to try and improve your chronic constipation and let me know what has created some improvement and what hasn't.

[@michellec717]

What if your gall bladder is gone

[@TMM909]

Thanks for this information. Most gastrointerologists just say take fiber, they have no idea and never discuss this. I always say GI docs are not constipated, which any constipation patient can tell by the things they say. This info about acid/alkaline is helpful.

[@mredizon00]

[@ChantelTGill]

This constipation pain feels deadly. Pain in both lower abdomen and lower back. It’s painful to sit, walk and stand.

[@uiticus]

I have tried the usual methods to relive constipation such as eating different types of fiber, eating prunes, drinking sufficient amounts of water, drinking coffee and herbal teas, exercise, but to no avail. Until I read an article by this lady online who had the same problem and she mentioned that we basically lacked 2 minerals, which are Magnesium and vitamin C. You have to take both of them together. I take 2 tablets of Magnesium, 500 Mg. each with 2 tablets of vitamin C, 1000Mg. each, and the magic of relief from constipation starts to happen. You start feeling the urge to go after a few hours and then eventually relieve yourself. It really works.

[@MrDummyKicker]

you know what go to the store, get magnesium citrate, and clear yourself for once in for all. From there eat Nature Path's smart cereal every morning and wake up at the same time every morning. hope the best.

I really appreciate that and I'm so happy to hear that you're finding answers.

[@moodberry]

Great information. Knowing my own body, it now makes sense why I pee so much. The water isn't going to my bowels like it should and instead I have to pee very often. So what do I do to "divert" the water and get to a catabolic state?

[@jencollier8306]

Also looking for this in the book, seemed like it would cover this.

what are your thoughts about digestive bitters to help bile flow and constipation?

[@BT_life2]

Try em. If they’re not strong enough maybe try Tudca & castor oil heat packs

[@KamranConsultant4Hire]

Please do a video on pharmaceutical drug induced constipation (a family member has been told they must be on these meds and one of the side effects is constipation).

[@KickItNaturally]

HI kamran, when I've worked with clients who have dealt with this, they were still able to create improvement by taking the steps we talk about in this video. They may just sometimes need to be a little more aggressive since the meds can be powerful.

[@KamranConsultant4Hire]

@@KickItNaturally great, thank you for the reply and useful info. Glad I found your channel. 🙂

[@KickItNaturally]

[@hip-hopman6636]

Which minerals is needed to make stomach acid?

[@KickItNaturally]

Chloride and zinc are big players there, but when minerals are low in general (Uusually due to poor digestion), it can make it hard for the body to do all the things it needs to do.

[@deelicious1610]

I have used Epsom salts. Not gentle. Senna works sometimes. I am now taking high doses of magnesium. Haven’t tried Tudca.

[@giosarranable]

Hope this works

[@romasplace1]

Thank you so much 💓 fot this fascinating and informative video. I I really want to take your 4 week course. The one problem I see, before I start, is I can't take hcl. I have tried maybe 3 different brands and each one I had sinus reaction to. I wonder 🤔 about mcas. I have celery juice which definitely helps my acid and digestion. What else would you suggest with this specif problem? X

[@KickItNaturally]

You'll find some answers in the free course, but this podcast episode explains how the folks who have trouble when first starting HCL are often the folks who need it the most, and steps you can take: kickitnaturally.com/episode312/

[@marianbab]

Thank you 😊

[@KickItNaturally]

You bet.

[@marianbab]

Ok usually when I blend mornings leaf and the flower together and drink it help me alot with constipation but it also cause me diarrhea sometimes . So I had to stop it 😊

[@marianbab]

Moringa

[@KickItNaturally]

Yeah, we prefer to see people correct the underlying causes instead of just using remedies. We teach how to do that in our free digestion course.

[@memememmee7794]

This is helpful! I never understood why I had such a bad case of it. The only thing that helped for a while was a liver cleanse formula called bupleureum Chinese blend. Then I think I overdid it and had to go back to the drawing board

[@KickItNaturally]

Yeah @Meme Memmee , you likely are dealing with more than one possible underlying cause at the same time if it's severe. We have a new video that walks you through figuring out if you're dealing with the anabolic imbalance that I talked about in this video. You can find that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJm8mYholLGGnK8 Let us know how it goes.

[@manojit00]

Thanks a lot! But how do you deal with constipation and low stomach acid along with an ulcer? Then acid supplementation would be undesirable I guess. What’s the alternative?

[@kristinastevens509]

You're right. My ulcer led me to dr. Berg channel. Heal the ulcer before acidifying the stomach. Briefly - dies is very limited until the ulcer heals. Think cabbage, broccoli sprouts, and organic, grass-fed beef (for the nutrients i.e. zinc carnosine).

[@JimJohn5555]

I guess I need to establish whether I don’t produce enough acid or bile. (I don’t have my Gall bladder now so it could be lack of bile making me constipated)????????

[@UnsocialSecurity89]

What if the cause of acid and constipation is due to buprenorphine/suboxone? I was prescribed it for anxiety 10 years ago, I take 6MG a day versus the 32mg a day that I was prescribed and I’ve never once have taken more than 6mg a day. I cut it into 3-2mg strips and take 2mg, 3 times a day. Anyways, I’m Autistic and so the stomach acid has already been insane, then the meds made the acid worse and the constipation worse. I’ve seen multiple docs and they’ve all disregarded anything I did, told me to take Prilosec and drink alot of water. 10 years I’ve been trying to figure this shat out and I’m now at a place where I’m scared for my life because my symptoms are INSANE ALL over my body. I’m 35, healthy, eat healthily, work outside and stay active, don’t drink alcohol or do drugs or smoke or dip, etc. Not sure what to do. Have a colonoscopy and endoscopy scheduled but they’re a month away

[@patrickjuan6057]

hey, I have chronic constipation, and everything you told makes sense. I want to improve my bile flow with the beet flow supplement, but I can't get it online because it seems that it doesn't ship to here, I'm from Brazil. there's a way to improve bile flow even without the supplement or if I can get anything that can act similar?

[@stephaniecatena7966]

How much acid does a stomach needs to make to be acidic enough? I take 6 650hcl with pepsin and still having constipation. I also supplement with enzymes 4 capsules with HCL taken mid meal. Is the pepsin the issue here????

[@KickItNaturally]

HI Stephanie, I can't give specific advice like that here. But your best bet could be to go through our totally free digestion course because that will walk you through figuring out which aspects of digestion are not working correctly and what steps will help you the most. It could be more than just low HCL causing your constipation, or you could have a bacterial overgrowth reducing the acidify of the stomach. You can find that free course here: kickitnaturally.com/course Come back and let us know how it goes.

[@stephaniecatena7966]

@@KickItNaturally I do have a bacterial overgrowth actually. I’ve been battling candida. I have thrust on my tongue and the back of my throat. Doesn’t matter how much HCL I take I constantly have gas a few hours after eating. I do take oregano and garlic for it. I’m not eating sugar nor carbs. Eating lots of greens. I will try the bile flow suggestion. I just ordered it.

[@carl8568]

I have to take around that amount too. Sometimes it seems to help, other times not.

Great question. Find any answers? I am on Tudca now, have Beet Flow waiting in the wings, but am considering Digestive Enzymes in the mix but don't want to go too far too quick and when or if things start to work I want to know clearly what helped instead of not knowing because of too many things in the mix.

This video explains some things that can go wrong when first starting HCL: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHe9c6mXZsaKick

[@tinymetaltrees]

1● Drink 1tbsp apple cider vinger + 1 pint water. 2● Drink 1 pint electrolytes mix, like Gatorade. 3● Drink 1 cup of coffee or tea, however you prefer to take it. 4● 💩

[@KickItNaturally]

This is advice that works for about 2 out of 100 people with constipation issues. And for some causes of constipation, ACV and gatorade can actually make it worse.

[@deekap8387]

I had sibo which was treated with antibiotics then developed mild Gastroparesis. Sibo was negative after the treatment. I am now diabetic with A1c of 6.5, and my sugar stays good when bowels move. Dr prescribed me low dose erythromycin at night as a prokinetic which is helping me a bit with constipation. But my bloating and belching still continues. Now I think maybe I have low HCL. Does erythromycin increase acidity like beta one HCL? I want to try betain HCL and see how that goes. What is your non medical opinion? Thank you!

[@swissbliss24]

Any update?

[@deekap8387]

@@swissbliss24I tried taking one HCL capsule and I got such bad burning. So I didn’t try any more further. I am now taking kefir and it’s helping me a lot.

@@deekap8387 I am glad Kefir helped. I had some this morning. So did your SIBO make you diabetic? My doctor just let me know the other day that she ordered a SIBO test kit to my house. I was thinking About taking HCL but will hold off until I officially know my stomach acid levels. I did try some a few months back but I think it did mess me up even though I thought initially that it worked. Any suggestions as well are appreciated. Glad you are feeling better!

[@Jayellebee]

Should I introduce HCL if I have a hiatal hernia?

[@KickItNaturally]

It can sometimes help, but if a person doesn't improve the hernia, it can also magnify reflux symptoms. These two videos explain: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHndYYp9jrhjqbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGWqenaZn7lsitk

[@swissbliss24]

I had high Lipase after using HCL. Now let me preface it with the suspicion that it could have been high for months following a heavy eating celebratory weekend that caused my whole issue. But i do wonder if HCL is going to help me or cause my Lipase to be high. Any insight on that or should i do this PH test first i just got to assess low or high stomach acid before starting HCL? I've been taking Tudca (500 mg daily) for about 3 weeks now and i cant say that it is not helping. I feel it is, but i want to get the stomach acid part figured out.

[@catashtrophe0]

is the same info in the book as well as the course?

Bundle up and get to enjoy hiking in nature. I got all the warm stuff- good lined hiking boots, merino wool base layer, snow pants, a warm hat, ski gloves . I read hiking gear articles on what to wear. I am warm. I also got a fur scarf from a thrift shop. It's so warm and soft. Start walking and you will be warm. Now you have a year round activity that's free and accessible any where any time and you see animals, get fresh air and sun. Sleep better stay lean, strengthen your bones, so many benefits! It's fun too! I would go exploring. I drive around keep my eyes open for stands of trees and interesting looking places to explore. It's an adventure! I found nature preserves, cemeteries, woods, trails, abandoned buildings, abandoned insane asylum! I see deer all the time. I see raccoons, birds, squirrels, poor abandoned cats- I feed, make friends. In the city- I found the insane asylum and the nature preserve in the middle of stores and apartments. It's small but secluded enough to have lots of deer. Look up trails near me on Google. Look up cemeteries near me- fascinating places, bottle dumps, I found old antique bottles, an antique Wicker Baby Carriage, mica rocks that sparkle, really cool pieces of bark and wood, I use for decor. It's so fun. In summer I wear hiking sandals - chaos. I've had 4 years and still 👍 great. Or ride bike around a pretty town, that's fun too but you need weight bearing exercise for strengthening your bones
