If you are looking for more options for treating bloating, constipation, or gassiness you may be interested in Bob and Mike's podcast on their personal experiences with the FODMAP diet czcams.com/video/22NHTTkQtr4/video.html
I try to jiggle my lower abdomen for bad gas.
Going for a stroll is a great way to ease gas before it gets painful.
"Urban Moonshine Original Digestive Bitters for Gas, Bloating & Occasional Indigestion", always helps me when having painful gas.
For constipation, yes deep belly breathing, yoga, especially twists from the waist which can be done seated on the floor, or chair if you're able to twist at the waist, with knees pointed forward, and if new to this, SLOWLY work towards bringing arms and hands to grab the backrest.
Also, I heat up 2 cups of hot water and add a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice and Apple Cider vinegar. This works when I need help with regularity. What helps me the most though is consistently. Everyday doing some form of exercise, drinking plenty of water, and eating fruits and veggies daily.
Thank you and will check that podcast out.
I just watched the video posted a year on what happened to Bob. I don't usually leave comments on CZcams but I really like to send a word of encouragement to Bob, and Brad yourself too. You had been holding the fort most times than not, it's definitely not easy. Credit has to be given to you too. I started following more of your videos when I was diagnosed with a neuro issue as well. I had a benign tumour in my nerves, and that was found out in the first 6 months of covid. I had many other symptoms along too, including balancing myself down the stairs and IBS symptoms. I was so weak that I couldn't even sit upright. I was only 39 then. Fast forward 3 years, now I'm pretty much back to my normal active self. And I credit my recovery partly to your videos. Sorry for the long message - I wish you well Bob, and please stay positive. Sending u some love and hugs from Singapore. ❤
PS: to the rest of viewers who claim they want more of Bob and less of Mike, supporting Mike and this channel is supporting Bob directly. That will be best support for him, and Brad.
This is a great comment. Glad that you’re feeling better! I appreciate you sharing. I had a car accident a couple of years ago that changed my life in so many ways. Some days I wonder if my life will go back to normal but I try to remind myself that everyday is a gift and if I can do all that I can to make it the best day.
I also agree with your comment about supporting Mike. This is a team and we should remember that things change and we are all doing the best we can. All three guys are here to support us and help us care for ourselves.
Yes miss Bob, but Mike is doing a GREAT job!
@@Sappho123 I like his cap
Happy to see brad has his sense of humour back, Mike is great, nice that Bob is still in the background. Great tips guys
Thank you very much
Thank you so much Brad & Mike (and hello to Bob!!). You're all still doing such a great job. Thank you so much for this video!
I wish you good health
You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Mike is doing great, a very good addition to the program! Enjoy all your information such a huge help. Thank you
Thank you guys!!
Mike - I think you're doing a great job!
Keep walking is great, 74 and it helps in many ways. Jogging I stopped 10 years ago when my knees complained too much.
Very true
Very true
Thks very helpful & reminding me of some 🧘♀️training did cost me a lot of money. Could have just learnt a lot with Bob & Mike 🙏💐
Thank you so much
Thanks for this, team! You really do it all for us, and we appreciate you so much! The warm water advice is GREAT. The warmth encourages relaxation, which can be difficult when one is experiencing the discomfort that goes along with these GI issues. It also, of course, hydrates. How often do we hear that most of us don't drink enough water? I know I have a tendency to forget to drink as much water as I should... Oh, and any techniques that are Bob-approved are golden, in my book! Hi, Bob. 😊
Thank you for watching and for your kind words!
Yes I am praying Bob is doing well
Thank you!
Thanks, guys! Loving your quotes, Bob!
Great to hear! Bob loves writing the quotes :)
You guys must be spying on me! Lol😂 I have been having this problem lately. Thanks for the information.
Happy to help!
One I found very helpful is laying face down with fists under your abdomen, elbows out to the sides, then lift one leg up and then the other. The pressure of your fists pressing into the abdomen while leg lifting seems to prompt movement.
It’s actually a yoga adaptation.
Thanks for sharing!!
Also look up abdominal massage. I do it in morn.
@@jmc8076 I learned some specific abdominal messages from the pelvic pt and it definately makes a difference for me.
@@katherinegood7509
Late reply but great. Amazing what we learn as adults about our body.
we want bob back how is bob doing 🙏❤️
Bob is likely coaching Mike to be better.
He’s the director
Brad: Why Bob, why?!?😂
Bob is doing well. We appreciate your love and support and Bob will show up now and again, and we have added a "Bob Blurb" to the videos but Mike will be in most of the videos going forward.
We do feel short changed when Bob and Brad doesn't have Bob, False advertising. Will we ever get Bob back? Even worse when Brad isn't here either. We tend to grow attached to the best on the internet. Perhaps an opening with an introduction to Mike would smooth the jolting feeling I experience when the show isn't as advertised. Sending good wishes for Bob, and prayers for recovery with wishes for his return. P.S. who is Mike?
I wish you all good health
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you for your support, stay well!
Lol I love the before and after pictures in the thumbnail 😂
I just lay on my back in bed (in morning right after I wake up) and massage my belly from up / down & both sides to middle … Works wonders 😌… Just like when my kids were babies 🏆‼️
Great!! Thank you for sharing!
I got a little anxious for the first exercise when Mike is lying on the table & Brad walks over with that red pole…😮
LOL
Hi
How is Bob, when will he be back? Love your show. Thanks.
Bob's still there, just behind the camera instead of in front.
Hi!! Bob is directing now, he won't be on camera too often anymore
I seem to remember from another video stretching one’s arms out from sitting on one’s foot is not recommended for back pain? What is the correct way to do it?
Great tips! Also, try acupressure. A good one to do lying on your back: area is about 3 finger widths below belly button. Press in gradually, but no more than 1 inch. Stimulate for 30 seconds. Probiotics & hydration are a must, too!
Thank you for sharing! !
Mike's comment at the very end😂.
LOL
We miss Bob. Hope he’s doing better.
A few of these I do on a regular basis, but will have to try a couple of the others. I'll also have to try the warm water first! I am learning that the relaxing and deep breathing makes a bigger difference than I thought it would. I would ad thh cat/camel poses to this list back and forth I find helpful. Also, I will stick a couple pillows under me while doing child's pose so I can really relax into it, hang out for a while, and deep breathe. I do this especially in morning if my bowels aren't "waking up."
Hopefully it helps!
Definitely have to try some of these! 😢
Hope they help you!
@@BobandBrad Me, too! 🤗
Omg. You have to be listening to what is going on with me. This came just at the right time.
Great to hear!
ibs-c with long colon not fun i look pregnant some days thanks for such a great video grandma drank warm water every morning the yoga poss helps tried the exercise really helped
Same here with abdominal hernia. 😢
Happy to help
Bob & Brad, are there abdominal or other exercises to do with abdominal hernia? Thanks
We haven't done a video on this yet, however it's been on our to do list for a while. We will see what we can do about getting a video out on it!
@@BobandBrad Thank you!
If you have any guidance on supporting or taping an abdominal hernia for those who haven’t decided to have surgery to repair it, would be helpful, too. Thank you. We’re doing our best to care for a parent who’s been through the ringer, and thus is surgery shy.
What type of stick is that you’re using?
Do you guys have any guide for people with autoimmune vasculitis like HSP? If I work out, my legs flare up with small bruises from inflammation. Im so depressed that this disorder discourages exercise. 😔
We do not have a video on this yet, however I have added this to our to do list and hopefully we can get a video uploaded to CZcams in the near future.
OMG 😳 I normally have constipation which has led me develop piles 😢😢 thank you so much 🙏 hope these exercises will help me ❤❤
Well, consult your doctor, but: I have taken to putting a tiny amount (2-3 grams) of Miralax in a glass of water and drinking it at every meal. My pharmacist says it’s fine, they give it to babies.
@@fbcpraise ok
Also try a probiotic
@@TaraT522 ok
Great to hear we could help. Best of luck!
Welllll, what can screw you up is taking 2 exlax for 12 years. Even when you ate less than 300 cals a day. I only drink room temp water. 4 - 6 bottles a day. Still doing exercises for hip replacement. I use benefiber and 3 prunes 3 times a day. Still can go a week in between or every other day. Can't wait to try these!!
Thanks for sharing and watching!!
@@BobandBrad sorry for TMI 🤦
I’m looking for a video you recently posted on this subject where I’d make a fist with my right hand and then press on the stomach area rubbing in a clockwise motion. Can you direct me to that link?
I don't know if this works but worth a try.
Absolutely!
32 y/o here… dealing with some serious indigestion guys!!!
Cashews are the go. If a little expensive.
Thanks!
Ever hear of Mariko Aoiki Phenomenon? I thought I was alone with this problem, but nothing gets me going more than a visit to a bookstore.
Thanks for watching!
lol I’m 23 and I’ll be using this video
Is there any hope to help keep an adult onset, reopened Bochdalek hernia in its place without more surgery?
We have added this to our to do list, thanks for the suggestion!
- psyllium husk ("metamucil", follow instructions to the letter)
- a magnesium supplement 3 hours before you hope to poop (the excess magnesium in the colon causes it to take in more water)
- chicory root drink half an hour before you hope to poop (delicious warm drink which stimulates movement in the colon because it has inulin)
- daily, regardless of poop status, drink enough water that your pee is the colour of pale straw
If this constipation is sudden onset and doesn't clear up in 48 hours, go straight to doctor
Psyllium husk is the only one that helps both constipation and diarrhea
Psyllium is a double edged sword and can cause constipation
Thanks for sharing
I don't get constipated, but I do the exercise that you have your knees move side to side in the mornings for my back and hips. Then I have to go. I feel it loosen up my insides and moves things thru. Lol tmi haha 😄
😂
LOL, great to hear!
Thanks guys just watching this made me feel like pooping.
I'm pooping 💩 right now
LOL, is that a compliment or not?
@BobandBrad Never sniff a gift fish....
One of the best videos I watched on this topic was a lady that said to make yourself sound like a cow. So it’s basically.: mmmm, then oooo. Your diaphragm makes a certain movement when you say “mooo”
Very interesting, thank you for sharing
Im 33 and deal with chronic ibs-c
May I suggest Bob and Brad for the last technique ( that one actually helps me a lot) is to add sound making deep "mmmmm" sound, like a Buddhist "ommmmm", while sitting on toilet legs a bit apart, tilted upper body towards front a lil, and arched lower back, similar to what u did with that posle, except arms aren't up, but sitting on your hips and maybe even pushing a lil bit on the hips/thighs. Try and see if that works.
P.S. One more thing works for me weirdly is pooping while standing, for some reason it gets out quicker than when I'm sitting
Thanks for sharing!
I find I get more abdominal movement when I breathe out first.
Thanks for sharing
So many people miss Ileocecal massage, which is especially good when moving the right foot back and forth. I work with a lot of younger people and it seems like unexplained bloating is epidemic.
Thank you for sharing
Dam i need this im really constipated
or take 2 magnesium citrate before bed w one probiotic
Thanks!
Kings
That's so nice :)
Tried didn’t work
Get checked out! If your a woman, first make sure these symptoms are not ovarian cancer!
Thanks for sharing!
😊👍
Thank you for watching and supporting us! We appreciate you!
What happened to bob?
He has been diagnosed with ataxia. He’s been in the background..
He's doing more directing now, thank you for asking!
And get enough water in that good ole' bod during the day!
True true!
I went carnivore and do not eat fiber OR carbs... I am 66. I don't have to do these exercises.
Please please talk to your doctor about any restrictive diet.
Great!
The taller toilets are easier on the knees. But harder on the colon to evacuate.
Sounds about right!
I hate to be negative but Mike's ego makes it feel shameful to have a normal body and he seems to want to talk over Bob rather that flow with him. I don't think he's a good fit for this channel.
Thank you for your feedback.
🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
Thank you for your support!
squatty potty!
LOL
Sorry to say but Mike’s voice is very shrill and piercing in my ears…and much louder than Brad. I have to keep turning down volume when he speaks. Missing Bob.
Sorry to hear that
