Thanks so much. Each morning, to me, just some full fat yogurt with chia seeds totally solved my constipation problem. 🙏
1. Electrolytes (potassium, magnesium)
2. Drink water, 8 glasses daily
3. Eat vegetables (low carb, high fiber, combined with fats)
4. Psyllium husk powder, organic
5. Chia seeds
6. MCT oil (1 tablespoon daily)
7. Yacon syrup
8. Digestive enzymes
9. Probiotics (10s billions)
10. Non dietary solutions
Thanks!
8. Glasses of water is not recommended for your heart
And psyllium husk is a BINDER, not good for constipation
Thank you you're a star 🌟 I love people like you. (thoughtful and helpful 👍)
Oh my goodness I love ppl like I who post the cheat sheet …lol
Thank you
Watching while drinking butter and mct oil coffee. You guys are so informative. Love your chemistry too! What a great looking couple!
Heidi H. Shiachy I’m doing the same thing. Lol love my Keto coffee. My favorite Keto couple.
Constipation was a make-or-break keto issue for me as it led to actual impaction and total inability to move, requiring enema. Now I take 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk in 1/2 cup water with each of two keto meals a day, sipping at intervals to mix it well with the food. I follow that with 1 tablespoon of chia seeds in water. Outstanding results. It is hopeful to think that this may not be necessary as I get farther along in fat adaptation. Many thanks for all that you do.
🤣😂
Dennis are you still keto ? I’m at the make or break constipation mark now
@@angelinadrobina5037
Have you tried upping fat?
So much research has come out recently saying that not only is high fiber not necessary, but can be harmful to those with gut issues.
We found the opposite when doing our research. A lot of opinion against fiber but no scholarly articles.
@@2FitDocsThanks for your reply to this comment. I have seen many influencers saying zero carbs when would you say truly makes sense.
I pre soak chia as you’ve shown, and add it to soups. I also add hemp seeds to soup and the comb are almost undetectable but really satiate my appetite. Move great now after big C issues!
I appreciate how “in depth” & “informative” your videos are. I also use 2 TBSP ground flax seeds in water daily. Thank you kindly Dr Becky and Dr. Keith!
Sauerkraut is good. Get the raw kind from a health food store (Mom's Organic Market, etc) or make your own. If it is in a can or a package from a grocery store, it is pasteurized and the probiotics have been killed.
Yes there are studies that prove that people on low-carb high-protein or keto diets actually have more regular bowel movements than any of the other patients that were studied on high-fiber Etc.
I think like most people all are defining is constipation is that with a low-carb diet or keto diet you do not get the overwhelming urge to go. And when you go because you're eating low fiber or low-residue the volume of the stool is much less as a matter of fact sometimes even coming out like rabbit pellets. On another note you brought out MCT oil I just started taking it yesterday and have suffered the Limited diarrhea and if you happen to be cooking and using coconut oil and you take the MCT just this morning I became rapidly tachycardic beating so fast I can hardly count but it was between 150 and 180 beats a minute. As a tribute to my coronary vasculature I suffered no tightness or pain or anything in my chest and after a few minutes at slow down to about 90. I reviewed what literature I can find on this and evidently this is common with people who are sensitive to MCT and or if you take MCT along with coconut oil it can cause arrhythmias. There is also the chance that I took a little too much because I did not measure I just kind of poured a little bit into my coffee cup. But I think this is a serious warning with regards to the potential side effects. Because if I had had any pre previous arrhythmias or cardiovascular disease it could have been a lot worse.
"Smooth Move tea” (name on box) or detox tea... found in the tea section of your local grocery store (even Walmart carries it under $4). Natural herbs.
Yes excellent. I use and it helps!
My daughter swears by this tea!👍
I'm mostly carnivore now but I do eat apples, partly as a treat but they also move things right along. Sadly, most vegetables are high in oxalates, which might be problematic.
Your wife is a very good natured woman. Subscribed
Hi Doc’s, Oh shit that was a moving vidio🤒. Thanks for the great advice. Got to go now, BY, BY
I find a lower fiber diet is my best bet! Fatty meats seems to keep things moving just fine. Fiber seems to be a menace for me 😵
Yep fibre is overrated when it comes to helping constipation
Yes! Me too.
Me too
Me too
Does meat makes poop soft?
I like how your dog keeps peeking in the shot.
😆😆😆
Great tips for constipation. Not sure about tip no. 3 Fibre though. There does not appear to have any science to show that fibre helps bowel movement. In fact fibre might have the opposite effect as it makes the stools larger and therefore harder to pass through
Which is good when your diet gives too little stool and might be interoreted as constipation. Also lowers cholesterol by less recycling able from bile.
@Simon T, I've heard that also about fiber, however, when I use Chia seeds, seems to help. I've been constipated all my adult life, yuck but Keto makes it worse. I do need to eat more veggies!
@@InconnuGlitterBoy lol that's true
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. No blah blah blah. Just straight advice. Thank you!
Many thanks for the Endure electrolyte recommendation from a previous video. I have been using it several weeks now--think it was something my body was missing. Good idea on adding chia seeds to yogurt; I will try it.
You mentioned serving asparagus to guests. Perhaps a side theme, but it might make an interesting video to discuss what you like to serve visitors in your home and how you navigate that situation.
I put chia and organic psyllium husk in keto meatloaf and hamburger patties. Thank you for another professional and informative video!
Fantastic idea. I'll try it.
That's a good idea! 🙂
Great idea
Perfect timing thank you.
You are fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot !!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss seeing videos with you and Keith. I sure hope he's doing well. Sending love and healing thoughts from the mountains in Colorado!
I just noticed Metamucil now has a Stevia sweetened version😁
Pumpkin seeds are full of fibre. Excellent for the prostrate, and may help stimulate hair growth.
Good morning Doctors. Thank you for these tips.
A very helpful video - thankyou for sharing this information!
2:03 Dr. Becky: "Because you're you" Dr. Keith: "Dang it...a jab during live recording?" LOL I enjoy many of your videos!. (haven't watched all of them yet)
Excellent information! Thank you so much!!!
Sandra Westley I have always suffered from constipation, I cannot remember a time when I didn’t, that’s why I don’t think I could do Keto, and have chosen Low Carb, even so I still have to take laxatives, with Low Carbs and I am drinking lots of water.
Also u-tube search -- keto anti inflammatory bone broth
Thanks for sharing all this great info and maddy is so cute 😍 have a great day my friends ✌🏼😎👍🏼
Thanks you too!! Jennifer 😊 👍
Smooth Move Tea!!!!!
Thank you very much for the wonderful videos
Thank you guys!!! ❤🙏
Thanks for educating me. God blessings, prosperity and 💘
Excellent video. For me magnesium did the trick.
Other than explaining what Yacon syrup is made from, and not explaining about the kraut this has been the most informative video yet. Ty
Sandra Westley what is there to explain about Kraut, they said it was live you could make it yourself, or buy from health food shop, it does make you go to the loo because it’s got loads of bacteria in, same kefir yogurt.
Thanks for the info! You guys are awesome...
Thanks for another great informative video
Oh, that dog is so cute!😍🙂
Read the book "Fiber Menace" and be careful when recommending fiber. Fiber is not a "more is better" thing.
Thank you for the video. 💚👍
Great video! Thank you!!
That was informative, ...thank you
Very helpful! Thanks!
I have been doing Keto for 2 months and I am wondering about the fact I do not have constipation although before Keto years of trouble with it. Matter of fact I feel fantastic. Is this unusual to be doing better? I wonder if the lectins in the wheat was blocking my magnesium absorption maybe?
Hi Dr. Becky. Thank you for the content. Can I use psyllium husk during my fasting window of intermittent fasting?
Good question
Thank you thank you
I’m eating all those vegetables. Nit drinking enough water. Have to remember that.
Thank you!!!
How do you use or take the psyllium husk, and what does it taste like? Please need ideas/recommendations! Would like to try it. This is the first time I've heard of it. Thank you for sharing. Found super informative and helpful! :)
Metamucil has a container with Stevie. I take a tablespoon with 1 large glass of water. Make sure it is mixed well and follow with another glass of water as psyllium will gel and without sufficient water it will clog in your intestines.
I noticed that when I added 1 tbsp of MCT Oil to my routine that it helped to normalize my digestion. Before that I was almost starting to get concerned because my fiber was so low. I have started to try to get at least 9-10g a day of fiber in my diet to see how that impacts the diet. Undetermined results, but it has not adversely impacted my digestion.
Went keto 2 months ago and notice significant facial wrinkles. Scary, really.
Dehydration. Carb o HYDRATE
How do y'all use the psyllium husk? I am assuming you put a teaspoon in a glass of water but just thought I would ask! LOVE this vid BTW- some great ideas & info! Thanks!
I asked the same question! :)
I put a rounded teaspoon in a shallow plastic shaker cup. It needs a lid, It needs to be shallow because you will have to clean it (scrape out sticky swollen remainder husks) after use. If husk solution gets too thick while drinking, add more water and swirl.
@@Boogan-D Thanks for taking the time to give your input! :)
Take magnesium citrate, it's a game changer 😊
How much potassium do you need to take ?
I love you two! Can you invite my wife and I over for thanksgiving dinner 😄
Aawww... that is so cute!😊
Nope just opposite diarrhea for for awhile now. No gallbladder I think has something todo with it. But started in Sept 2020 and lost 35 pounds but I am not going back
Awww, hello cute doggie. :)
Can I eat just the regular bacon from HEB
Can i use a combination of sea salt and Himalayan pink salt to replenish electrolytes?
Gulzar Ahmed I think that would help a bit
Ive been doing vegan keto with psyllium in my shakes, plenty of water and my system has been locked for four days. 😑
Heaping tablespoon of Coconut oil and a teaspoon of Himalayan pink salt in very warm water!👍😉🚽
What is the evidence that fiber a carbohydrate would or should be a treatment for constipation ? If you have links to RCT studies please post the DOIs.
Just ordered the electrolyte drops. Thank you so much. I've been cramping up badly eating under 20 carbs.
Silly Rabbit try Snake juice
Drink electrolytes in water...I get a gallon of the water and drink a cup or two a day..
When dealing with a tortuous colon, ..... Any osdvice ??
Basil seed instead of chia.?
You did not say anything about the effect of steroids on blood sugar. If one is doing the 6 day regimen, it will take a few weeks to clear the body.
How do use the psyllium husk
How do you eat Psyllium powder?
You guys are great...love your videos! Great advice yet some of these supplements are costly so, I go with the one least expensive, chia seeds! Seems chia seeds are helping. I'll try adding them to my yogurt! I think my core muscles aren't working properly since I've been constipated all of my adult life. What do you think about the herb, Cascara Sagrada? I use it periodically - best thing I've found, really works. I read mixed reviews about it...some Drs say it's wonderful, to, others, who've said it can cause cancer. Don't know what to believe on that one??? Thanks mucho! Xx
We like the chia seeds but are not familiar with the herb.
Lol we all need a BACON dip! 😂
Helps --- u-tube search title---- keto coconut flour tortillas ruledme
Great points on potassium electrolyte, we need much more and i use adrenal cocktail to load up my potassium then magnesium
mct is excellent for keto
Hung Tran Adrenal Cocktail?
New to keto, I wonder what your experience is with weight loss and excess skin. Does it snap back? Thought maybe others have the same question.
Hi Laurel! Great timing! We are looking at doing a series on this subject toward the end of the year.
@@2FitDocs Great! I will keep my eyes peeled for that. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
I've been on lazy keto for just barely over 2 months and I have tried everything. The only thing that works is taking miralax everyday and drinking a LOT of water.
Does Miralax makes poop soft?
Very helpful. I needed this info about a month ago but through a bit of searching I found the majority of what's been suggested here. Tks.
Probably the worst video to mention this...
But you really look great Becky.. That new hair style really suits you 😊👍
Chia in yogurt, I need to try that!
Hello there,
I have just started experimenting with extra virgin olive oil enimas, to cure constipation .
Even though I am a comedian, its not really amusing when things get stuck.
Do not try to fart for at least 2hours after the enima ...
Why would a person have “lazy colon”
Also known as spastic colon and can be seen in bullimia and anorexia when laxatives are often overused for weight control.
You SHOULD ADD THE CABBAGE CAN NOT BE OUT OF A CAN. IT SHOULD BE A REFRIGERATED KIND OR IT WILL NOT WORK FOR YOUR GUT HEALTH
You can have canned cabbage?
I tried making asparagus in the oven with oil on it and I wound up with a big ball of asparagus fibers in my mouth when I tried to eat it; a ball of asparagus fibers that wouldn't chew up. I would be afraid to serve asparagus to a child, as it could be a choking hazard.
Make sure to break the hard ends off and peel those little triangle skins...you never eat the hard parts as that was the ball of finer in your mouth.
My keto constipation was relieved by eating a keto cookie sweetened monkfruit and alcohol sugars-that'll loosen you up in a big way!
I simply add salt and and a quarter dose of Miralax to my morning bulletproof coffee. Problem solved.
Two words: squatty potty (oh yea)
The doggie is thirsty.
He is starting to look uncomfortably thin.
Just my opinion
The tense cathedral hypothetically wink because rayon muhly measure onto a foregoing smash. rainy, agreeable shock
The first 2 months, this was a huge issue for me, even though I started taking inulin every day. I heard a keto CZcamsr say that it can be your gut bacteria having to re-balance to be more of non-sugar feeding guys. That must have been it, because I now eat less veggies, no inulin, and go regularly. Carnivore dieters have good points about fibre not helping the way we've been told. I believe them now.
Oddly enough, inulin causes me constipation.
I’m struggling with constipation, I eat all that in the video but it’s not helping me go smoothly.
Help pls
@@171beba I think the sweetener in my chocolate and soda helps me a lot now. It's called erythritol, and "too much" is said to have a laxative effect. Hope you feel better soon! PS - I'm only back on keto a month, and I didn't have this problem again, which is why I think it's the erythritol (I didn't have it last time)
