10 Things Your STOOL Says About Your Health... | The No.1 Poo & Gut Scientist 

Check out the full episode here ➡ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qqabbfk9wV8.html

My gramma always said, “ in order to know what’s happening in your body, you need to look at what’s coming out of your body. Look at your snot, your phlegm , your poop and your pee.”

Someone else’s poop saved my life. I had a deadly superbug called CDiff. It was diagnosed too late. The only thing left was a fecal microbiota transplant. Thank God for those people who saved me.

This man knows his shit.

My mum had colon cancer she was 81 at the time. It was caught early and she will be 88 this year.

As a survivor of rectal cancer, I was a healthy vegan prior to diagnosis, I am here to debunk the lack of fiber in the diet argument. There is way more to it than just diet. When you start reading possible causes online, I was in none of the predictable categories. Any changes in stool, I’d highly recommend getting colonoscopy!

I wonder if the spraying of our food crops with chemicals such as glyphosate is contributing to the increase in colon cancer?

I am only watching this because its 3 am and I have insomnia .

The bit at the end when Dr. Bulsiewicz said he can smell a patient coming down the hall made me so happy. I can smell when a cat has worms (I do a lot of rescue work). People look at me like I’m nuts when I talk about it 😂

I have had one colonoscopy and about to have a second. People always complain about the prep… drinking the stuff and cleaning out your colon…while this is no fun, afterwards I felt the best I had in decades! So I am not dreading my next one. My body just felt so light and healthy. So maybe that’s why people do colon cleanses on their own, it’s amazing. Please people have a colonoscopy when you should, it saves lives. God bless all and prayers for a healthy life.

I used to think that poo was a laughing subject in my adolescence. As an adult, It’s no laughing matter; it tells you a lot about what’s going on inside you and whether you should be concerned about your health

Drink plenty of water and don't be afraid to eat Kimchi! It's delicious and promotes good gut health.

My father was an identical twin, my dad was a regular colonoscopy regular and had polyps removed through out his life. His twin never went to Dr. and died of colon cancer 30 years before my father died. Dad lived till 90 and his brother died at 60. Dad had had several polyps removed by age 60, because his father died of colon cancer…he was cautious. His brother was care free.

My emotions can really influence the consistency of my stool.

Who knew that when having a number 2, you really want to be having a number 4.

Just one thing about the black stool: if you are iron deficient and you take an iron supplement, your stool can turn black. But it's normal in this case! Edit: This is not something i came up with, it is what my doctor told me when i first started taking my iron supplement.

Need more talk about chronic parasitic infections...I'm understanding it's way more common in the U.S. than people think.

I used to be constipated all the time and one day someone suggested colonics. The flushing out gets rid of a plaque substance on the insides of the bowels This is caused by eating lots of white flour. Since the colonics treatments, 3 of them, I have never had constipation since. Not even when taking antibiotics.All that happened in my 30’s and I am 76 now.

On the subject of fiber. Well advised to have a good mix of soluble and insoluble. I also find Ginger and Coffee speed up evacuation. Lots of water helps. I go through 2 to 3 liters of water a day. People who want to promote a healthy gut biome, look into fermented cabbage and legumes. Good bacteria eats fiber. This is where you get the 60% of bacteria in normal stool. Bad bacteria eats sugar. So cut back on sugar of all kinds.

Stay away from processed food

Brilliant. I'm a native Bristolian. I can confirm Bristol is full of it!

I have a severe case of health anxiety and putting “cancer?” in the thumbnail is a crazy thing to do. But the video itself is informative so at least there’s that

I really enjoyed listening to him. Both short and full episode. His matter of fact and demeanor are appreciated. I learned a wealth of information. Thank you.

my grandpa died of colon cancer. It was a extremely painful 2 years for him. Definitely I agree so much with this doctors tone when discussing colon cancer. Its excruciating. I was there in his final moment when he went jaundice and it was the epitome of suffering I have seen a person have from illness.

What an excellent guest and chock full of information. Thank you!!

I had an emergency gallbladder removal in Aug and it changed my life. I thought I had Chrones disease for about a year prior to that. One of my gallstones was the side of a golfball! I went to the bathroom about once per week with great difficulty prior to gall bladder removal. My abdomen was always distended & swollen, as if I had no waist & couldnt engage my core muscles. Angry gallbladder & gallstones removed & Im like a totally different person! 🙏🏼

I had major constipation and bloating and cramping issues after quitting antidepressants which carried on for years. I tried changing my diet nothing worked but a few months ago i quit sugar and everything connected to it. My gut is almost back to normal. No more sleepless nights, constipation, cramps, tiredness… people. QUIT SUGAR NOW!

Thanks Steven! This is so important.

My father died of colon cancer - totally preventable had he just visited a doctor when he first experienced symptoms, etc. I've had three colonoscopies - the first when I was 42. It's so important to have one. The prep sucks but it just may save your life.

I'm still out here with you, though I gained all my weight back. My husband has been sick since 2021 and I fell off the wagon and haven't gotten back on it. I spend alot of time in the hospital with my husband. I need to get my mental fixed so I can get back on track. You are still an inspiration.

You are truly a blessing! I can feel your passion for your work like the doctors back in the days. Keep doing wonderful work for mankind we need you very much. By the way, I absolutely loved the idea of showing us the samples

I used to do Metamucil because I have idiopathic constipation. Since 2017 I have been using Trulance (plecanitide) and with one pill in the morning I can completely empty my bowels and be ready to take on the day. This medication still works after 7 years! Being able to clean out your bowels is good for your colon health.

I recently cut out meat, but have been eating fish, carbs and fruit/veg. I’ve never felt better and been more regular.

As a veterinarian - I believe you! Pancreatitis and panleuk have typical aromas in cats as well.

Very educational even for this 67yr old. Thanks.

Thanks to both of you. Very informative. God bless you!

Subscribed. Fantastic content and is treated seriously. I changed diet and digestion did a 180 in a good way.

Thank you for the video. Very informative 👏

Its important to remember the differences in fibre. Soluble fibre is what you're trying to include into your diet. Also staying hydrated is important for your bowel. Fruit vegetables and legumes are great for microbial balance. Microbial balance is relevant to your immune system. Got it 👍

Best Dr. B Interview on RU-vid. As an RN, I applaud this interview. I'm a fan. Thank you, Interview with a CEO!!

After being a nurse for 30+ years as a nurse and being vegetarian for pretty much all of that time, my gut were suffering.After going carnivore , the best gut function ever.

I had poop issues and psilium husk has helped tremendously. 2 servings a day.

Thanks for Episode!!!!

There seems to be a high correlation between mental health disorders and digestive issues as well. It would be a possible explanation for why some people have negative reactions when increasing fibre intake, whilst others benefit.

In Austria I noticed there is a little shelf in the loos which make examination so much easier for both patient and doctor. How very sensible.

My dog who has bad poops . Black oily and greasy . She had type one diabetes and initially diagnosed with pancreatitis. I had her on a raw meat diet and a recommended darling diet on the internet . Big mistake especially for a diabetic with a compromised pancreas to begin with . Changed to a balance diet with veggies canned mackerel but the final piece was pinto beans . After her poohs were glorious . I did a similar transition following her lead and a vast improvement for me . I am so regular first thing in the morning walking around a bit I am ready to go and I am done for the day . I struggled with poohs all my life fiber fiber fiber is key

Suffered from constipation for years, adopted a keto diet not quite good enough but, when i found out that Kifir contains tons of bacteria i make my own kifir from raw milk, drink it twice a day, I've gone from type 1 to a type 5.I had my appendix removed as a child , apparently this little organ contains beneficial bacteria. Made me think.

Tha k you for not shying from this important conversation.

Thank you. Straight and clear. Great information.

Solid Science around a subject that is difficult for a lot of us to talk about Guys, appreciate the good work.

Great insight! Sensible, appropriate, and timely questions, without any needless interruptions. 😊

Stress Will Mess You Up !

I work for a functional medicine doctor who believes it's never about covering up symptoms with medication it's about healing from within. Because it starts in the gut! Almost every patient can benefit from a GI-MAP gut health assessment. Some patients are looking to achieve optimal health, while other patients have been chronically ill and frustrated without a diagnosis for years. Some conditions that warrant testing are: Autoimmune diseases IBS/IBD Digestive complaints, diarrhea or constipation Brain fog Skin problems, like acne and psoriasis Mood disorders, depression, and anxiety Diabetes and weight loss issues

I'm 68, and over a period of ~a year, my bowel became increasingly loose until I was experiencing chronic diarrhea. My GP and gastroenterologist did every blood panel & gut panel, and found no problem. I finally started taking an over-the-counter probiotic capsule every day, and my bowel started to rapidly recover. I also reduced my carb and sugar consumption, following an intermittent fasting regimen, and eating homemade, fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kefir. I probably still need to slightly increase my fiber consumption. I'm finding however that I need to take a probiotic capsule once weekly to keep me on track. I'm not taking any antibiotics, so it's not clear to me why my gut has trouble holding onto the renewed biome. Any thoughts on this?

Im not ashamed to admit i check mine I had a friend vegan 50 who died from bowel cancer. Im 47 i take my health seriously. Too much refined carbs, constipation. I get changes during that time of the month. I dont know why people are so embarrassed to talk about something that is important. Cant recommend saurkraut enough, will give you gas but makes a difference i find.

This was so informative! Thank you 🙏

It is such an important topic and nobody even dare to talk about it. I learned many things even if I already knew many things since my family is prone to colon cancer.

I truly enjoyed listening to this Phenomenal GI Dr.💯 I learned alot ❤️

I enjoy your shows. The topics are very interesting.

Very impt. Info. Many young people eating bad diets - colon cancer occurring younger and younger these days. Lack of exercise also bad for colon health.

thank you, really enjoying your show, love, peace ,joy and a smooth bristol 4 to you all

Thank you both of you🙏🕊️❤️🌷🤗

Thank you. I needed to hear this. It helped me to talk to my pcd Mary Ann

So I’m very constipated and yesterday inflamed. On pain meds. Horrible 7 days. God bless❤️🙏

Very interesting : a lot of information. Thank you very much for this interview.

Normally a 4, but while randomly experiencing 6 this morning this video popped up. Google knows too much!

I worked in gastroenterology for a fews years and learned so much ❤

I suffer from bile acid malabsorbtion which means I am 6 or 7 constantly and with help from binder medication sometimes a 5 at a push. This is an interesting vid as there is not much openly known about my condition. Had to do a sehcat test to get a diagnosis

All of the processed foods, excessive sugar & seed oils would have to be some of the contributors of the rise in colon cancers🤔

Thanks for all the comments ❤, that was very informative!

Thanks for all the info

I love your Chanel, you always have interesting and educational subject. Thank you 🙏 🥰

I have Crohn’s. Finding out I have a treating Hashimoto’s has improved my gut transit times and overall GI health so much. Diet is a large part but sometimes your hormones are responsible for a lot of dysfunction.

I spent most of my life irregular, not having any idea until 10 years ago that I'm allergic to milk protein, and 7 years ago that I'm allergic to gluten. I'm very disciplined and eat well, so I got regular and healthy quickly. A couple of weeks ago, I tried making sourdough, and had a slice every morning with eggs. It didn't make me feel gross or give me a headache or body aches, so I kept eating it. About a week ago, I noticed I was seriously bloated and backed up, and I cut out the bread immediately. I don't know how I lived like this for so long. We eat junk as kids and think being unhealthy, bound up and in pain is normal. Thank you for this discussion.

Very informative and easy to understand.

Incredibly interesting info. I have no gall bladder and have sphincter of oddi dysfunction. Thank you.

It’s interesting that the average person poops 1.7 x day. Yet the average person is overweight and unhealthy. The study from the 90’s should be redone and also a comparison of a vegan diet poop to a carnivore diet poop, should be included.

I’ve subscribe because these video could save lives

absolutley amazing, so intersting, thx and plz more of it! The different smells are missing :D

This is important. Thanks for the life saving info.most people can't stomache the thought of this subject.

hard snakelike black poop smelt strongly like ammonia. two days in a row couple of years ago. I fasted and slept for another couple of days and am much better. thx for the explain art how the strong smell indicates a blood bleed. I am 70 no meds whole foods and finally added low carbs 5 years ago and I am good now . but that was scary

This is soooo interesting. Thank you both! I'll never look at a Pay Day bar the same again. It used to be my favorite too!

Very informative, thank you

Great interview ❤❤❤

Thank you for getting your 💩 together!

I'm a regular bristol 5 and thought it was a bad thing. Had a colonoscopy and everything is fine. The Gastrointerologist never had this discussion with me but yes, I eat tons of fruit and veg and whole grain. I originally thought it was because of the coffee I drink in the morning. Because if I don't drink coffee, I'm a 4.5 or even 4.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful information. I have subscribed to your channel.

Super informative! Thanks!

I attest that intermittent/prolonged fasting and eating a plant based diet has given me the best stool ever

After I bust out 4’s I feel amazing like a new man. Energy influx kicks in and I’m blastin off em route to my day.

I just looked in the bowl, then searched and this video came up. Yes I watch videos while I poop. Glad I found this one. Thank you.

Excellent advice, really useful information thanks

Love from India ..very informative

Most people don't want to talk about poo and won't. I notice everyone becomes smart in their answers if you mention their poo, but what they don't realise is that it might matter later, more than they think. Sensitive to a few food items, I'm really aware of the importance of oral and gut biome as it links to physical, mental and emotional health. A Normal healthy lifestyle, you are unlikely to experience problems, but it pays to know about this.

Riveting conversation. So much so I listened to the pod version twice. Also because the Doctor has a fantastic voice.

That was very important ans informative!!!!
