Thanks Doc. You are a breath of fresh air 😊

Thank you so much. I have had 3 hem surgeries over 25 years and will do everything to avoid another one. I eat 3 prunes daily, use the Bran buds often for breakfast but have also used Colace daily for years and find that helps. I am afraid to skip the Colace and I am happy to know that I can safely take regular Colace daily forever. Your videos are so helpful.

@tiffsaver 10 месяцев назад

I can totally relate. But after trying the same “fixes” that you mentioned, *you just didn't go far enough.* A couple of prunes and a bowl of cereal isn’t going to do a single thing for you, especially when you get older like me. After six months of experimenting with every single natural supplement on earth, I finally found a combination that not only gives me perfect BMs every single morning, but often twice a day. While everyone’s bodies are different, here is the only remedy that worked for me: *Take every night:* 1) 1 cap “Super Colon Cleanse” 2) 2 caps Stool Softener 3) 2 caps Vitamin Shoppe Fiber Blend 4) 1 cap Milk Thistle 5) 1 cap Probiotics 6) 1 cap Vitamin B Complex Take with 1 Tbs. Citrucel powder in a large glass of water (I use the sugar-free one) The Milk Thistle will cleanse your liver, the Probiotics will create a healthy gut biome, and the Vitamin B Complex will also help with good bowel movements, too. If this recipe doesn’t work for you, just have a cup of coffee the next morning and watch what happens. Best of luck!

Hi Doc, I LOVE your videos!! And your enthusiasm is infectious. I'm glad you did one on softeners, as I have often heard of them but stayed away because I noticed how so many laxatives are actually bad for you if taken to often. So I was extremely relieved to discover that you can take this stuff all the time with virtually ZERO side effects. I just ordered some online, and the stuff was only three bucks a bottle, a real "bargain"!!! Thanks again:)

I went on a 3 day fast and about a day later I felt like I had a granite boulder in my gut. I had to take out a chisel and start whacking off chunks until I could pass the darn thing. If I do this fast again I'm going to take some Miralax along with liquids. On the positive side I could make sculptures out of the stuff and it would probably last a couple of Millennia so a future Graham Hancock would get stumped about exactly how the sphynx was made...

@numb-lock 2 года назад

Thanks for another great video. I had a hemorrhoidectomy in March 2022 and fully recovered and have been taking Colace ever since as well as having more fiber in my diet. The one bad habit I have trouble with is drinking a lot of fluids everyday. My daily routine includes a high fiber cereal in the late evening a few hours after dinner and then take 3 Colace. Each morning drink a cup of coffee and soon after poop is now easy. My Dr says its OK to take Colace everyday like you said but how soft a stool is too soft? My poop looks like the poop emoticon 💩its just really soft almost like diarrhea without the cramping. For me this is easy each day without any straining or hard stools. I'm hesitant to cut down on the amount of Colace of 3/day cuz I'm just really scared that hemorrhoids will start coming back.

@joffy3004 Год назад

After a follow up with my Dr, he suggested I try not being on Colace so after experimenting with my diet, I'm glad to say that I'm no longer taking Colace since the Spring of 2023. Some fruit and vegetables (ie broccoli, etc) every day plus a handful of Kellogg's "All Bran Buds" (about 1/8 cup) mixed with my favorite cereal after dinner helps me be regular with a soft stool.

@babyboy1971 Год назад

I’ve been colace clear for years. I had a fissure in 2020, healed fully, returned in a milder form and I fully believe it’s because I knocked down my dose of colace. My CRS also recommends stool softener. I take colace clear but notice my stool is sometimes not soft enough. Can I try adding in a little bit of miralax? I find miralax full dose gives me diarrhea but a little is ok. Also one or two capsules of Metamucil (half label dose) is a great hack to keep things soft but formed. And always drink water with softeners. Do you ever recommend colace and miralax together? Is it safe?

The primary cause of a hard stool is a vegetarian or a vegetable nutrition with a lot of fibre. In the case that you will not be ready to change this form of a food it will be the best to take at least every second day 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil early in the morning on an empty stomach - 1 to 2 hours later you will accomplish an easy bowel movement.

Just start a regiment of 1 tablespoon of extra virgin oil twice a day. Add a little lemon and honey. No stool softeners.

Water is good but if you work especially outdoors or hot environments and sweat your poop will still lose moisture and get hard and it takes a lot to try and get it back in there

Poop ok with mostly soft stools. But not diarrhea. Problem, feel like need to poop all day some days, but goes away when sit on toilet. Diagnosed with pelvic floor dys, tight puborectalis muscle. Could be tenesmus? Any advice appreciated. Eat plenty of fiber and water. No hard stool.

Hello Dr, I have anal fissure for almost 8 weeks now which I guess has almost healed. While pooping there is no pain, but after that I feel burning sensation for 30 to 40 minutes. After 3 to 4 hours i feel stings, mean the teared wound is healing again. After that everything is fine, I am observing this pattern for almost 2 weeks, is it a good sign? I just wanted to know if these are a good symptoms or bad? Anal fissure is about to heal soon? Thankyou!

IS PSYLLIUM HUSK CAPSULE IS SAFE TO TAKE EVERYDAY AT CAN SOFTEN THE STOOL????

@sleepingrogue4130 Год назад

I’ve literally given up. I drink 128 oz water per day, strength train and run 4x per week as well as eat 30 grams of fiber. Some days it is ok, but the minute I get even 1 gram less than my daily requirement, I’m constipated. On the days where it is mostly ok, my poops start off hard then towards the end it gets normal. Gonna try a stimulant free stool softener daily and see if that helps

@amalbrsajan276 Год назад

Any idea how to deal with currently carrying constipated thing to out from intestine. ASAP I have a doubt, currently iam facing too 1-2 months ago while seating back side on bike ...I felt hard (because of potholes)on seat itself..but for 3-5 days i have one small bump on my anus lip after few weeks it completely gone and now for 1 month my anus lips are just bulge out while stool and automatically retract. But last 2 days may because of this recreation I have felt constipation but stool was smooth; at a time intestine does not get cleared. So any exercise is better & how to clear my intestine regularly.

Imo anybody can have a hot dog or french fry once in a while, as long as 90% of the diet is full of vegetables, especially leafy greens(and nuts and mushrooms)and fruits full of antioxidants and phytonutrients. I find nutritious foods tasty; and I know that they might save me from ending up in a chemotherapy infusion center later on in life. #nutritarian
