How many of you have been told you aren't taking enough fiber? And when you do exactly that, you feel worse? Let me know what you're thinking with comment!

@vidayglamour1589 2 года назад

I found that the best poop softener is the kefir (I think the homemade is a bit better than the one of them supermarket) but both work ok. I blocked from my diet: natural rice, green bananas (that are not sweet enough) psyllium husk (plantago) flax seed fiber… I’m still doubtful if I should cut papaya from my diet ( I’ve been eating it with the other ingredients I am trying to avoid) I am getting suspicious it could be helping to my ROCK poop 🙈 my proctologist told me to take a spoon of olive oil each morning so water can stay more time in the colon or something like that. I’ve been drinking more water and orange juice, kiwis and coffee with milk before I eat anything in the morning. Eating big plumps could help but… I think they could be a bit dangerous for someone that is high in glucose.

Yes. I had a hysterectomy in Oct 2020. Prior to that I barely ate fiber. I started having problems with BM. Got religious about getting enough fiber. They recommended 35 mg a day. Usually got to 20-25. My stomach issues are worse than they ever have been. I did have some issues before surgery, but yes so much worse now. The gas yesterday was horrible. I even increased slowly. Psyllium makes it worse. Flax seems to be better but I don’t know. I feel like I’ve been a walking experimenting with diet, etc. so desperate. I am so bloated. I have lost weight, but I look 5 months pregnant. Never knew has pains could be so painful. And the hemms and fissure omg. So bad. So with fiber even if I’m drinking enough water, can it result in incomplete emptying?

@strongsyedaa7378 Год назад

I take 1tbsp of mixed seeds & then Detox Tea, colon massage I take fibre moderately & gradually increase it

@fourtywater77 Год назад

You're spot on with the fiber debate. I suffer from stage 2 internal hemorrhoids. My proctologist suggested that I increase my fiber intake. I got it up to 25g of fiber per day and my rear was hurting so bad that I can't sit in a chair now. I noticed that it made me more constipated than before. Then I had a hard beginning and a loose tail. Then I reduced the fiber and had a stool with a sweet potato fiber and it felt like my internal hemorrhoids were getting lacerated after every release. Fiber swelled my hemorrhoids and made it way worse than before.

Thank you doctor. finally a doctor speaking the truth. This guy is absolutely correct. Because of the pain meds I take. I’ve been having constipation for years. Every time I see a doctor, they say take more fiber, and when I tell them, that’s the worst thing I should do. They look at me like I’m an idiot. Finally, I see a doctor telling the truth. I am stunned that I a janitor am actually smarter than most doctors out there. Also, he’s right about bulking up. Sometimes my stool is so large the anus stretches and it comes out, covered in blood. Never fully trust doctors there people and make mistakes like all people do.

I totally experience exactly what you are talking about! I am a mostly plant based eater with a primary focus on eating freshly prepared vegetables and non-refined starches like rice and potatoes. I eat a lot of fiber everyday and I still have issues with my bottom end. I would say that 2 things contribute most to my constipation, gas and bloating. 1- not chewing my food well. 2-eating lots of cruciferous vegetables in any given day.

Finally someone is saying this. I had to learn it the hard way after listening to so many doctors 😭 they don't even ask how is my stool, how often I have it, what is like .... They hear a fissure or hemoroids and they say fiber and water. 🤦🏼 I eat too much fiber just from my diet and my doctors didn't check my diet... They just said add more fiber supplement. It was so bad for me and made me worse 🤕 I think extra fiber is good only for people who don't eat fiber at all or have loose stool. I wish doctors at least gave a referral for a nutritionist or at least say to be careful with fiber or send your video to their patients!

@CK-jd1kf 2 года назад

Taking a fiber supplement won't help you if you eat constipating foods. It's better to eat foods that are high in fiber. I've also found that it's best for the fiber to be wet, such as with oatmeal or fresh fruit, not dry like cereal. If you eat cereal then drink lots of juice or eat jello with it. For snacks during the day I eat granola bars and fruit snacks. Gelatin is a natural laxative.

@roseannsullivan1871 Год назад

Thank you for discussing this problem. It's something that affects us daily, but mostly we don't want to talk about it. Honestly, when your GI system is working well, it's a good day, and when it isn't, you're miserable. I do find that just the right amount of fiber is the answer, and it can take a bit to find that place. I found three prunes a day helps, but I need to be careful not to add too much to that, maybe just some fresh vegetables like a salad will to it. Your videos are very helpful.

Most people do not get gas bloating or cramps when taking fiber at normal dosages. In my opinion its better to take fiber than synthetic stool softners that cause electrolyte imbalance constipation and other colonic problems which are not meant for long term use. Fiber can be taken long term without problems.

@myyoutubechannel3161 Год назад

Very true, I agree with you are bodies are designed to take in fiber, I think the reason why half these people on here get constipated is because they've been on the standard American diet almost all of there lives. And when switching up there diet after 20 years of eating crap. The body goes nuts and doesn't know what to do.. it's like taking a street drug then going cold turkey the body will goes nuts for it.

I do feel bloated and the complete bowel evacuation takes place on alternate days and not daily. I can’t even have a proper dinner after so much fibre; and I find it difficult to take so much fibre and water after dinner. Moreover, I have to get up at least thrice during the night to evacuate my bladder. What should I do? I soulful be really obliged to you if you could advice me about what to do.

I sometimes take psyllium husks. A heaped dessertspoonful, on a morning, with plenty of water. Works great, but if I keep taking it for more than a week or two, it stops working. So, it's not for constant use - at least not in my case. I do need my fiber, though, but, as you say, you must also consume a good amount of fluid, or it can have the opposite effect of what you want.

I've had constipation all my life, off and on, since age 4. My mother used to have to give me Fletcher's Castoria (anyone remember that?) As I'm older, it's worse. My doctor prescribed Linzess. It helps but it's not always best. I don't know if I should drink more with it. I don't know how it works, and I really don't want to, but it sometimes needs help from Dulcolax. I'm wondering if this is harmful? All I can say is that it's a relief to NOT have pain down there from straining, and various other things over the years to help out. I used to take milk of magnesia and finally got to the point I could hardly get it down. I have had hemorrhoid problems off and on since I was a teen. I had a colonoscopy last May and the doctor said everything was fine. The time before he sad I had small hemorrhoids near the outer part. I wanted to say tell me something I don't know...

I see so many women who say they do Metamucil at night . Also you’re not supposed to take it 2 hrs before or after medication. It says right on the bottle! Yet the hospital nurses did it and pretty much smirked at me when I said something

just to share my experience my problem was softer stools and frequent defacation. ADDING FIBER WITH EVERY MEAL, has helped me TREMENDOUSLY. its regulated me, made my stools solid and makes cleaning out sooo kuch easier and quick. LOVE FIBER. i AM WAY MORE GASSY but burp wise not fart wise. but worth it

tried high fiber diet and the bloating was awful. also made it hard to pass stool becuase it was just mush and couldnt push it out. now im eating lots of chicken and green beans and getting a perfect consistincy.

beans are extremely toxic
