What Does Pale-Colored Poop Mean? - Dr.Berg

[@DreamsOfLegend]

Bro, Dr Berg knows WAY more about nutrition and HEALTH than I would say 99% of "MEDICAL" doctors... Real talk 🙏

[@susiebear3316]

absolutely

[@videolabguy]

I would say that Dr. Berg is a "more ethical than average" doctor. Most doctors are employees of large "for profit" hospitals. They are working from a goal of making money. There is nothing wrong with that per se. However, this creates a situation where the doctor, who is trying to advance or just keep their job, will "treat" a patient's condition instead of "curing" that condition. That way the patient is consuming expensive pharmaceutical products and needing return visits for unnecessary follow up tests. Cha-ching! An ethical doctor's moto should be, "I WANT to put myself out of business by eliminating all disease in the first place."

[@micsierra806]

jay that is absurd. Did he recommend a specific brand? You think Big Bile Salts has him in their pockets? Hilarious. The incentive is for him to produce content that connects with his audience, then his channel will grow and he receives advertising revenue. That is the incentive. Sure he has his products and his keto consultant practice in the US, but dude... you are getting a FREE medical consult and information to research on your own. Something to consider.

Thank you! Many years ago my son was poisoned in school with a pesticide (Dursban). One of many symptoms was the clay colored stools - also a swollen liver. Although the pediatrician was aware enough to do the RBC cholinesterase test to diagnose and prove the poisoning, he could never answer the questions about the stool and the swollen liver. His liver enzymes were 'normal', which I later learned does not mean 'no liver damage'. It was one of the least of our problems at the time, so never understood it. Thank you for answering my question all these years later. You are the best at giving short, simple answers to complicated questions and yes, you know more physiology than most of the MDs I know.

[@devotae]

I have been following Eric now for years, and one of the things he says over and over that should give you hope is the liver is one of the many organs that can COMPLETELY heal itself! mind you it can take 3 years.. Your son needs to fast (when i was a kid i found it really easy to fast) and go Keto. if your fasting for at least 16-18 hours a day and you don't over eat, at dinner, or just do the 1 meal a day, and make sure that meals is Keto, your liver can heal its self. I have auto immune and i often wonder if its cuz i was poisoned as a child too. my body attacks itself when i eat sugars and gluten (wheat gluten is worse but too much of any plant protein is too hard on my liver to convert into amino acids) so my liver SUCKS, and it damages/attacks itself whenever i am stressed, which is all the time, and i have all of the above symptoms aswell.. but with fasting, it heals itself too.. but i have a very hard time "sticking too it" and so i Yo YO I was just saying to my hubby at the dinner table 5 mins ago.. i WISH i never ate gluten as a child, then i wouldn't miss it.. as i was diagnosed with allergies to eggs as a child and i never ate them growing up. when i tasted it, i hated them. My hubby made me eat eggs when i was 18. i hated them but he made them in all kinds of ways. NOW i love eggs.. IF my allergies came back, I would not be able to quit eating Eggs, so keep that in mind about your Son, You can help him SO much by creating these habbits young. I know lots of people who grew up eating very healthy. they dont like sugar.. its hard for me to believe.

In December I noticed orangish oil separated from the stool. Testing has shown my amylase (starch digesting enzyme) is low. My lipase (fast digesting enzyme was normal). I’ve been told to go to a gastroenterologist but there is a 3 month wait at least and I’m getting alarmed. I also have bad gas. I have type 1.5 diabetes (LADA).

Dr Berg does not recommend flushes due to the fact that bile is recycled. He recommends taking bile salt " tudca" I believe thats the name. Also choline and milk thisle as well as citrus fruits, dandalion tea, turmeric, peppermint essential oil, and black radish are all natural remedies for gallstones and liver health.

[@OswaldDigestiveClinic]

Thanks for sharing on this topic! To add to this, a recent trend has been to do the blue poop challenge using blue-dyed muffins to determine colon transit time, which can indicate how healthy the gut is. These recipes, however, tend to have ingredients that are not great for gut health (sugar, refined wheat, food dyes, etc.). Instead, to check colon transit time, you can use organic corn or beets! Just consume 1/2 - 3/4 cup of either organic corn or beets. You will see corn in the stool because our bodies aren't able to break it down all the way. If you eat beets, you will see red in your stool! So write down the date and time that you start seeing the food in your stool, and the date and time that it stops. Then, figure out how much time is in-between those dates and times. Normal transit time is 12-24 hours!

It can, also, be caused by excessive Magnesium intake. I take Magnesium, (after having watched Dr. Berg's video on it; Love the way I feel way calmer and relaxed now, by the way). The bottle says 500 mg, (2 pills daily). In the beginning, when I just started taking it, I thought, let's see if I get a faster calming effect if I take 750, or 1000, mg of it, and what do you think had happened? My stool, the very next day, turned paleish clay color. I didn't quite connect it with this whole Magnesium intake thing, right away, but a thought of it, sorta, skimmed the back of my mind. Then, as the same thing happened next day, and the day after that, I became more and more convinced that it was somehow connected with this 750-1000 mg Magnesium intake, so, I skipped one day of taking it. And what do you know? The very next morning, everything had returned to normal. Stool color was perfectly the way it is supposed to be. So, I went ahead and decided to check what would be the perfect dosage for me, and took only 1 pill, (240 mg), that same night - everything was normal next morning. Next day, I took 2 pills, (480 mg), next day - everything was still normal. However, when, the next evening, I took 3 pills, (720 mg), in the morning stool color was immediately paler and more clay color looking, (though, not as pale as when I took 1000 mg, (960), 4 pills, in the beginning). So, right there, I knew exactly what caused it, and, since then, never took more than 2 pills, (480 mg), of Magnesium per day. Just as it says on the bottle - 500 mg daily dose. P.S. To those who do need purified bile salts, I found Dr. Berg's Gull Bladder Formula quite helpful to flush the gull bladder. I do it every 3 - 4 months, just buy 1 bottle, and do a good cycle of gull bladder flush until the bottle is out, and, just a week, or so, later everything begins to flow so good, nice and easy! (I take 2-3 capsules per day; 1 in the morning, right after waking up, on empty stomach,1 before lunch, and sometimes 1 before 7 - 8 pm, on empty stomach is fine). You can try his if you want or get some other purified bile salts; Dr. Berg's are a little pricey for my wallet, to tell the truth, but, since I do it once in 3-4 months, it's OK for me.

If you found this video intriguing, you may also be interested in knowing the indicators of a healthy gut! They include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!

I have Crohn's and can't take bile salts! What do I do?

[@CremeDeLaCreme72]

I am an over the road truck driver and have ate terrible food and drinks over the past 15 years. I have been making a concerted effort to change that. My stools are constantly liquid and the only way to keep that from happening is taking Imodium each day. What can I do to help start producing solid stools?

Hard to do keto with little to no bile. Where do you get "purified bile salts"?

[@bonnieparrett696]

Very clear. Thank you.

Hi Dr. Berg, I have been following a keto diet for over 3 years. I first had this issue when I started doing keto and still have it from time to time should I be concerned? Is there something wrong with my liver? I have annual blood work done and my doctor says everything looks great but you are kinda freaking me out with the blockage issue.

What if your stool is clay or pale colored but no other symptoms are there such as dark urine, jaundice, itchiness etc.? I have been doing IF and OMAD and I am not experiencing any of the mentioned above except for the color of stool (after I switched to OMAD)? What could this possibly mean?

[@Sanaiya14]

It went back to normal..maybe it's the things I ate

Excellent information Dr. Berg. Question, what causes the stool to be sticky? I’ve heard that it’s from too much fat in the diet. How do you correct this while on keto? Thx for answering.

[@raerae_]

You should take a fiber supplement and digestive enzymes. Keto is typically a high protein high fat diet and people usually don't eat enough fruits or vegetables on it.

[@judis9184]

@@raerae_ Okay thanks! We’ll have to try that. Thank you for responding!

[@raerae_]

@@judis9184 no problem! Just remember with eating or taking fiber supplements you need to increase your water intake if you don't drink enough. I weigh like 127 and drink 65-70 ounces a day which is recommended, half your weight in ounces.

Hey dr berg, bile salts make me feel more bloated after taking them because I have low stomach acid. So I take betaine hcl with them but it makes it worse. I try apple cider vinegar but that also doesn’t help, it causes delayed gastric emptying and pain in my abs. Can u offer any advice plzz.

[@muhammadaziz8215]

snooky12 I never take any of those things on empty stomach. It’s a shame the betaine hcl doesnt help at all. I hear it helps so many people. Thanks for ur advice, il check them out
