Drinking a 8-16 oz water bottle every morning 30 on an empty stomach before breakfast,oatmeal for breakfast,steamed veggies with most of my lunches, yogurt for a snack and going on long walks everyday is what finally helped me with constipation. I no longer have to PUSH when on the toilet it just slides out smoothly. Goodluck everyone.
What yogurt you eat

Ye he s right activia s really gd

Nice bro, gonna hit an hour of pushing
When I am even slightly constipated, everything gets worse. More body pain, more stress, more anxiety, worse sleep, more cravings, etc. I'd love for you to touch on how the gut/constipation affect these facets.
Absolutely, the worst thing it brings many more illnesses with it.. life becomes burden if you gota deal with it for a while...
@@navpreetsinghthiara9019 It actually ruins your life if you can't fix it
Wow. I would love a video like that as well.
They say that gut is the second brain so if the guts are bad you feel bad! 😢
Same! I feel gross and dirty too. And im in a shitty mental space
The constant fight against constipation takes a big toll on my mental health and my daily life.Incredibly hard to deal with this. I just want to be a healthy energetic human being.
I agree with you 💯 it's horrible you know what can help you buy Kefir milk in supermarkets shops etc and keep drinking that water aswell have warm baths
@@BricBaby-pt5tf I got it right here i think it does help , I honestly got more deep issues, I’m only 35 I already had 1 polyp Removed also I have used a lot of antibiotics and I think that really hurtes me . I’m anemic , and is a lot I’ll keep drinking the kefir and other healthy things
@@MiamiInthehouse I hope u okay god is with u remember trust in god we will all heal
I'm getting older and it's hard to babysit everything all the time--looking for all the simple answers, as that's going to be all I can do soon
Exactly I’m only 17 and I feel hopeless and I don’t know how to get rid of it
The human body is so complex, it's amazing how it operates.
Absolutely!
You can say that again it's amazing
It's amazing indeed
It's garbage
@@user-og9nl5mt1bIt's garbage because it's amazing and amazing because it's garbage
Never heard constipation described as vividly as this doctor loved it
Let me tell you I've watched hundreds of videos on constipations and this was so well done ! Bravo
Same here. After all my searches this one tops the lot. Exactly what i was looking for and thankful to find!!!
This video was extraordinary, I understand better now the reasons for which I get constipated and what to do in order to avoid it. Thank you Dr.
Suffer with constipation for so long.. sometimes i even bleed due to chronic constipation..thank
You for this relevant information..new subscriber here👍
Go get a colonoscopy NOW
blood in stools is serious - do check with your doctor ...
How are you now?
Maybe it’s fissure or haemorrhoids
Bro
Very, very informative video for sure. Visual aids such as this help clear understanding of subject matter. Excellent job!🐀
Brilliant and easily understandable. Thank you!
Fantastic video! You were able to teach me everything I feel like I need to know to correct my issue!
There's definitely a gut/brain connection because I used to have the most painful BM's I would dread every bathroom visit. Then I started meditating and within about a week I started having pain free BM's. I know there is some sort of connection there.
Interesting! How long of a meditation every day? Any specific type of meditation? Thanks
@@tnijoo5109 I do about an hour sometimes 2 per day of guided meditations (all from CZcams) I looked for 'healing meditations"
@@PearlJamAndBiscuits 🙏 thanks!
That's how my chronic constipation started. I'm going to stray away from being too graphic, but I had a really bad stomach virus and it gave me really bad runs. Let's just say the constant need to use the bathroom ended up leaving me raw and battle-scarred. I started fearing going for as long as the pain remained, and then it became a problem where I literally could not go anymore without strain. Even with a proper diet and exercise, it just became a chronic issue. I miss the feeling of being empty.
I've been living with constipation ever since i was a little child. It became worse as I grew older, and i must say, it comes with a lot of difficulties in my daily life. I can barely eat one square meal in a day now😢 it is really saddening to have to live in pain everyday
same 😢
# if somebody is in RestRoom for more than 60 seconds, that means, there is a constipation problem.

How to take MORNING WATER ( after 6 am ) ?
As per Dr Manthena garu, Vijayawada, India
# Drink 750 ML luke warm water WITHIN 5 MINUTES
# Chew the water like coffee, to make it Alkaline Water with the help of Saliva.
# Again, Drink another 250 to 500 ML water after 20 minutes.
Note : If 10L water is taken in 20 installments in a day, this is of no use. The idea is to take lots of water at a time. Expect excellent & 100% guaranteed results in the health within 1 week.
Magnesium citrate
How are u now bro ?
But don't give up hope dear.
In life we find ourselves facing difficult situations. Happy and sad times, it's a part of life.
Don't loose hope in Jesus, no matter how hard try to always believe "Our Redeemer Lives"
I adore my GI doctor. I had a massive gi bleed. MGH saved my life ❤️. I got liver cancer twice and finally a liver transplant 8 ½ years ago. Daniel Pratt played a huge role in my life. His caring and calmness went a long way.
What a beautiful person to get me through so much.
A shout out to intervention radiology and liver transplant doctors and team.
#Amen
Hi! What were the symptoms you exhibited? Glad to know that you're in a much better condition now.
God Bless
Wow you are rich.
Did you ever found out what was the cause of you getting that cancer? Was it bc of constipation ?
Amazing video!!! This is exactly what i was hunting for. Thanks!
I eat 6 prunes a day and it's helped so much. I also juice fresh fruits and veggies. Juiced 1/2 red cabbage and 1 fresh pineapple cleared me out.
Amazing video!! The only super clear and visually informative one I’ve found
Thank you so much for explaining the anatomy of how digestive works.
I have fibroids that affect me of slow digestion that produces horrible stomach pain and enlarged hard feces.
Been to ER a few times and one ER doctor suggested a gastroenterologist referral - which I have pending right now for appointment as it could be a partial bowel blockage from the excessive mass of my fibroids, enlarged uterus lining and enlarged ovaries. I am carrying around constant estimated 24 to 25 cm of expressive clutter in my pelvic and stomach region.
I had an acute pancreatitis attack also. Cholesterol and glucose levels were fine and triglycerides were normal levels at the ER - when pain happened.
I have completely changed my diet of no carbs and fresh fruits and veggies. And the constipation does not exist with heavy menustration produced by fibroids - but it does when not menustration. I haven't consumed alcohol in almost 15 years.
My primary believes the gastrointestinal issues I am having is from the fibroids and ER doctor too.
But my OB/Gyn believes otherwise not taking the severity of higher BMI from fibroids and all the problems they cause for other organs.
My BMI was 28 when acute pancreatitis and bowels problem pains begin.
I am down to 25 BMI now and my fibroids nor reproductive organs have not shrunk - but - they haven't grown.
Females were meant to feel 9 months pregnant- as fibroids can do.
So just sharing another viewpoint of why constipation and slow digestion can occur also. Fibroids create many female problems and I don't feel enough studies are done of the complete health risks they do to digestion, the bladder and what higher BMI fibroids produce to cause problems in the abdomen and to other organs and even to the knees and joints and back and neck pains because of carry excessive mass bulk of fibroids.
I will have a hysterectomy my OB/Gyn will do after holidays end. But for now - its trying to find natural solutions to ease the complications.
Turmeric, ginger, garlic, and coconut oil as various teas daily seem to help keep inflammation down and has helped constipation and digestion pains,
I drink plenty of water and walk average 10 to 15 miles a week and have for years.
Informative video! I find drinking warm water regularly throughout the day helps with constipation. Hydration is so important in battling constipation. Prebiotics and probiotics help as well. For myself, cardio exercise and yoga help in addition to the others I’ve listed here.
Is there a reason it should be warm water? Or is that just a preference?
@@tnijoo5109 I feel like it could be because it stimulates and relaxes bowel muscles more but I could be wrong, sounds legit though? 💛
Excellent video & now subscribed too.
My issue has been going on for yrs but has increased a lot over the last few months (i'm 59). I was told around 10 yrs ago i have a lot of polyps but nothing was done.
I currently have to have a spoonful of Ducolax every 3 or 4 days, if i dont i get blocked & my back & sides hurt. My colonoscopy appointment ( which I've waited for for 6 weeks) has just been cancelled yesterday as their machine has broke !!!
Nowadays is not the time to be ill in the u.k.
I have Mitochondrial Myopathy Disease & suffer badly from constipation. Two years ago it got so bad, I was scheduled for a colonoscopy yet due to Covid 19, my 30 day wait turned into still waiting for it in the Public hospital system that last year, my lovely Uncle paid for it in a Private hospital. I ended up having an internal prolapse, which I had never heard of before, inflamed stomach & an inflamed bowel. The prolapse was repaired though I think due to my disease, I will suffer from constipation for the rest of my life. (I'm 49).
Thank you Doctor for this insightful video.
Oh man. That really sucks.
Due to the same crap, I’ve been rescheduled 3 times since last May. I hope that you’re ok.
I’m so glad that my liver transplant was 8 years ago. My family was able to visit me. Now they only allow one visitor a day. If the go out to get a bite to eat, they can’t come back. Those visits meant so much to me.
The way he explained the process of constipation is really impressive 👍
Excellent video and explanation!!! Congrats, Dr!!!
Thank you for the informative, clear, and concise explanation of such a common condition! It will be very helpful to many!
Put
Thank you so much. This is hands down the best video to explain constipation. It’s clear why it has over 1M views. The animation helps me to wrap my mind around the situation.
I hate living with constipation. I get bloated, feel sluggish, and have no appetite. So I've been living on laxatives. Then I suddenly have to go really bad. I really cannot go anywhere because I have a phobia of pooping in a public place. It is a huge nuisance!
Drink water yoghurt fruit ur flying
Lifestyle changes - Move more, reduce the stress, drink water, sitz bath, increase fibre, take magnesium supplement
I’m sorry for what you going through. I know is hard! Try to take benefiber, powder probiotics, and they got this stuff called psyllium husk that helps me sometimes, also a glass of water with two tablespoons of apple cyder vinegar could help get things going. It won’t happen right away but if you make it a habit it will start helping you. I’ll say as early as 2 days , also 24 fluid ounces of warm coffee could help you. Make it a habit. Hope I could help with your struggle +pain.
Papaya does it
😮@@MiamiInthehouse
It helped me and i don't know about this . It's working for me really. thanks.
Great video doc! Could you do a video on how constipation can lead to “sticky stools”?
Thank you for making this so understandable
Sitting here constipated. I know what I have to do now. 🥴🥰 Thanks Doc!
I've been consistently constipated for around 8 months now. All started from a mild batch of constipation, then quickly escalated and now I'm constantly backed up. Let me tell you, it is a TERRIBLE feeling when you can feel how blocked your insides are, but no relief is in sight whatsoever.
Oh lord, i can't fathom how you must be feeling, I had constipation just today and my anus hurt like shit and it's swollen too, so to constipate for 8 months is unimaginable to me. Hope you find a way and get well soon.
Hopefully you have been to doctor. Unusual if you weren’t normally constipated. Hope you are doing better.
Same, 😭 8 months , what should I do ?
@@jasrakhan89743 days my ass pain in right side what to do 😢
@@jasrakhan8974 drink a lot more water. use a stool softener like some kind of laxative every day. whatever you do, dont try to push the stool out as hard as you can. you will have extreme pain in the upper part of the colon and also back pain
Very informative content got explained with a very great detail, thank you I totally agree food high in fibre do work really well so do incorporate as much fruit and green leaves as possible you will never look back
Okay
Thanks for the informative video doc, kudos.
Perfect for us visual learners and law of attraction manifestos. ❤️
Thanks for your informative video. I enjoyed watching.
Wow I am very much impressed with the knowledge you gave us,
I have learned a lot that I just couldn't reason in the previous days
Thank you so much Doc🙏
EXCELLENT video! Thank you!
This video is a whole new level. Thank you and we'll done!
fascinating! Thanks for this clear explanation…
Amazing video & thank you ,doctor
Informative. Educational. Thank you.
Great video. Great explaining.
Great video. Concise, to-the-point, informative animation and good explanations. Thanks Dr. Can chronic constipation lead to fatty liver or gallbladder stones?
I think it can but not sure. Not a doctor or anything like it
Thank you. Great visuals.
Thanks, Dr. Ho. I've GOT to increase hydration. By the way, I find an absolutely sure speed-up is simply to eat two kiwifruit with each meal. Guarantees regularity. Without it, guarantees constipation. A hospitalized friend once grimly complained of days of miserable constipation. I said he should eat three kiwifruit. Later he said very gratefully it had sure solved that problem.
Absolutely I also find kiwi great for Constipation, I ate at night before bad it is effective for next morning, but for evening its not much effective if I eat at noon.
Prunes are great, they love keeping company with Stools!
Eat bananas... Most effective
@Nonya it has both fibre and also provide necessary lubrication
@@riteshr9477 : But slows down the necessary movements in the colon, so bananas are a NO. 😮
I have to give props to the animation team they did a good job making that poop travel. 😂 no but really it was very informational, and helps those of us who are visual learners.
Thank you. Sir. God bless you
Thank you Dr.ho, you are the best.
Thank you so much, Dr 💓
Excellent video. Thank you.
Excellent explanation and presentation. Thank you
is it a bit weird to say that i really enjoyed that video. Very imformative and nicely shown. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr for this video❤

Thank You Doctor Great Video.
Best video explaining this yet. Thank you.
I’m constipated yep and it’s so worrying for me I overthink it and think it’s something bigger and scarier.
I love your videos, Sir!

Thanks for the information doctor, Please do more videos on how we can actually get rid from constipation
Have you tried magnesium supplements?
Excellent info.Thanks so much from Fiji.
wow this was very interesting and i learnt a lot, great video
O M G. Thank you so much. Thank you. I exercise a lot, but I may not be drinking as much water as I thought needed
I've dealt with constipation my whole life. The running joke in my family is that only dynamite in my colon can get me to go 😁 I started taking Metamucil and it has helped a lot.
!
I’m not a doctor and I was hoping this doctor who created this video would respond to your post and my post. My doctor told me to take the off the counter Magnesium every day and to add a tablespoon of that white Fiber powder in my glass of water to help reduce symptoms of constipation. That white fiber powder is pretty much like Metamucil but I prefer it over Metamucil; it’s also tasteless.
please try probiotics, did you have surgery when you were younger?
@@thedesertdancer but they won't mention probiotics which cured me of 40 years of constipation, please try it!
@@justjoy7194 No surgery. I was one of those kids that only went to the bathroom at home. Maybe years of holding it in at school and work gave me what they call lazy bowels. If I go twice a week, it's a miracle.
Thank you Vincent Ho for your non judgmental and clear explanations! Your the man!
*you’re
Hi Karen ❤️😊😘
thank you, very useful information
Our stool are made up of around 75% of water content so... Where there is stool dry, there is constipation.
"The key thing is to don't let stool dry"
Thank you verymuch sir 🙏
This is very helpful..pls make such kind of content often..Great work
Excellent presentation.
Hehehe, I loved the name "Gutdr" hehehe; but I also loved the 3D video, I love this kind of videos.
Thank you very much for the information and animation Dr. 😊

Thank you for sharing ❤️
Thanks, doc for the informative video, but can you make a video about constipation particulary for the elder
Great information thank you. But I need advice on how to fix this state please!!!!!!!
I increased vegs intake and kept water intake the same (drink when only thirsty)...and it helped a lot with constipation even if i didnt eat enough for the day.
Excellent thanks for sharing and teaching. Friend fell on ice and got broken tail bone. Coccyx fracture made everything stop working!
L fell and broke my tail bone and I'm having same problem I'm tried of taking miralax to go it's like no urge to go
This is really informative, as a nurse myself all things medical interest me, I have the opposite problem I have terrible IBS it's taking over my life
I'm exactly the same I've tried every med herbal u name it cut out most culprits ..x
😢 I hope you find the correct method to heal you.
Me too thankyou
Start your day with a fruit. Try eating raw until lunch. This helped me.
Go get a colonoscopy NOW
Am watching from Zambia, thanks a lot
Effective Video clip thanks for sharing tips
Very informative and perfect visuals. But with the problem can you please suggest the solutions too
That would depend on what is causing your constipation.
Have you tried magnesium supplements?
@@brownell.landrumit works?
You rock, thanks!
i started working at a job this year, had to sit for about 8hrs, no exercises, less water intakes, and got piles due to this constipation. Now suffering from piles.
Wonderful video, thank you for informing us of this. I really appreciate it. I just found out that my constipation is due to a b1 deficiency because of a mutated MTHFR gene. Vitamin deficiencies can masquerade as many diseases.
Then how r u dealing?
Thank you.
I'm watching this video as I was studying so i came in youtube for better understanding,by the way I was also suffering from constipation but now it is ok ,what i have been doing is drinking bottle of water before going in to restroom,i think so it gonna help you guys also,try this method.
Information is just right
really, excellent video. Greething from Ecuador
Great thanks doctor
Thanks doctor
I'm watching this cuz I've struggled w constipation last week(now I'm relieved...
Holy shit it' was a big nightmare to me i can't push out i can't keep inside ....
Back story:
I wasn't aware that I'm gonna suck in next up coming week,and gone to take poo as a regular basic bish type,i feel uncomfortable to push that thingy out but nope i failed and pushed so hard like i was a she Hulk or sth and there you go ... it's the first time ever i saw this hardest stool before...okay whatever.....i was okay pushing to the extent and it's out, thought now i can happily live my life but there's more after that i started feeling burning sensation down there and i was like it's fine and next day,wow i still remember the pain.... i can't even push out i felt like I'm pushing some needles out and then i checked there's a tear(my bum hole slightly has two cuts ; the size "()" cuz pushing so hard the other day and slightly one - two drops of blood in stool .......you guys don't believe the third day is the biggest day to push out, i can't help myself and tried so hard not to push out cuz if i push out the tear will get bigger idk that's what I felt and while pushing out I'm seeing a few drops of blood which made me scare even more... It' was so tight, TiGhter like hell .....the whole week i went thrice a day to take poo-each time I'm taking more than half an hour still hell....idk what helped(hot water,banana, walking, meditation,pampering my bum etc) now I'm relieved after a week of struggle ........now i really know what's the meaning of pain in azz" that line is no simple 🤷🏿♀️
Hello Sir, some suggestions to cure at home regarding the disease at the end would be very nice
I have neurogenic bowel from MS. At times my bowels will just shut down. Laxatives won't touch it & if not careful I wind up in the ER getting poked, prodded, scoped, violated, and ultimately given several large volume enemas.
My GI doc ordered regular scheduled enemas (2 a week).
That was working quite well until I lost my health Assistant, who had been coming over weekly to assist.
R u OK now
@@nirmalabeeharry2327 Managing barely. Thx
Finally found an expert and explain it very well!! I want to ask doc what's your take on water enema to help cure the constipation? Thank you inadvance 🥺
Add instant coffee and it will strip the intestine. Don’t make it a habit.😳😬
2 spoons of olive oil when you wake up and metamucil, you can add a teaspoon of magnesium citrate
Is it normal to have constipation for long period of time DR?
@@gabyd5662 : Metamucil requires LOTS of water or there can be a blockage.
Great video
