Understanding Bile Induced Constipation

If you’re dealing with chronic constipation, Irritable bowel syndrome, IBS-C or you can’t move your bowels, and you want to fix constipation for good, it can be important to understand bile induced constipation and the best steps to fix the underlying cause for YOUR constipation. And you also want to understand that the underlying cause of constipation can vary greatly from person to person and bile issues are only one possible cause of constipation. Especially if you’re supplementing with ox bile or bile salts.
Instead of searching for the best diet for constipation, a constipation remedy or asking what probiotics are best for constipation, the best route is to correct the actual underlying cause of YOUR constipation.

I've been chronically constipated since childhood....always said ,,,,I cant drink cold water...but any water goes straight to my bladder..dry skin..finally gastric reflux.kidney stones etc etc...took you class...yes...I'm stuck in anabolic state...cant thank you enough!!!!

Right on time. No coincidence. I’m on carnivore diet. I started supplementing with ox bile and bam noticed the poo poo train stop moving…constipated. Then I stopped taking them and bam here comes diarrhea. Went back on ox bile and bam constipated again. So now I at least have an idea of what I’m dealing with. This video was helpful.

You're the best teacher! TFS this. Currently living in mold; thinking I've had fungal issues a lifetime (horizontal transfer from Mom, yes, I'm blaming Mom). I was thinking oxalate keeps me running to the bathroom at night; lowering oxalate (fungal byproduct) in diet has helped (going toward carnivore slowly). Threw a gallstone, took me 3 days to finally submit myself to ER/hospital and they took gallbladder (said it was necrotic by that time, dang), THEN they figured out the stuck gallstone

Best lecture on the effects of bile on stool. This video came at the right time but what about the timing of taking ox bile for someone with no gallbladder ??? My gallbladder was removed 10 years ago and was constipated my entire life until now that I don't have a gallbladder. I've been in a catabolic state for about 4 years. My bowel movements are not formed and are very wet and soft and thick, oily but sticky at the same time. The sticky and oily features are classic sign of fat malabsorption.

Hi, we're not allowed to give advice in video comments on specific situations. Once things are surgically removed, it can be nice to have a professional help you with that specific situation. I have no idea what the answer is for your situation because it is not a standard problem so it would be great if you can get a coach to help you navigate the situation.

[@BriBorgersen]

@@KickItNaturally a little confusing of a topic for me. I’ll watch again.

[@ThisIsNotMyHome]

It's alkaline and if you take it with food then your stomach acidity will be decreased, which you don't need because the acidity breaks down our food properly and helps with extracting the nutrients. And then when it's too alkaline, it slows down the stool moving through the Intestinal tract, causing constipation. In most cases, stomach acidity must be addressed in addition to the bile flow. If ox bile is causing constipation issues, you need to stop it and address issues. Bacterial overgrowth is also a possible issue. They release a waste that is alkaline and this can reduce stomach acidity and function, too. We need to support our Circadian rhythm cycles which also affect us being in a catabolic or anabolic state at the proper times that encourage good health and proper bodily functions. With most chronic constipation issues, the person is stuck in an anabolic state- where the body sends more water to the kidneys and less to the bowels. Basically, chronic issues need a systematic approach for treating, resolving.. which need to be catered to the individual's needs. If you don't have chronic constipation, and only noticed constipation started after using the ox bile, then you won't have to go that far into it to resolve it.

[@Tes7000]

@@ThisIsNotMyHome I had to watch the second half of this video a second time, and your reply was extremely helpful too. You perfectly described my problem, but I am not on any kind of bile supplements. I recognized the symptoms clearly, but I had to figure out how this information applied to me. I have been dealing with chronic constipation for probably my whole adult life, and I am now 53. I am trying to lose weight, and this constipation has been a confounding issue each time. Dr. Berg has a really brilliant video that explains how constipation stalls weight loss. Some years ago, I got in the habit of eating a cup of berries every morning. It may have been the only time in my adult life when I was absolutely regular, going every morning. It's been at least 8 years, maybe even longer, so I can't remember why I stopped, but it probably had something to do with the carbs. I have re-added the berries to my daily routine, because addressing this constipation issue is more important than nitpicking the carb count. Per some other videos, I have added a tablespoon of coconut oil (or olive oil) each morning, or a can of sardines in olive oil. Among the benefits is lubrication of the intestines to allow better movement. Yet another thing I am going to do is start taking enzymes again with foods that I think are likely to constipate me. What he described in this video, and what you discussed in your post also, about the body directing most of the water intake to the kidneys instead of to the digestive system is exactly what I think is happening to me. I kept wondering why I kept increasing my water intake and just peeing it out while still remaining constipated. This has been a learning experience for sure, but hopefully I am putting in place habits that will keep me regular.
