Medicines that Cause CONSTIPATION (Do you take one?)
Рет қаралды 47,842
3 жыл бұрынThere is a long list of medications that can cause constipation, are you taking one? Doctors often forget that constipation can be a side effect of the medicine you are taking, and thus don't warn you. Many people think their constipation is caused by something else, never thinking their daily medication could be the cause.

And some supplements cause constipation as well as medications. I was on a psychaitric medication called Trivial and it impacted me this was years ago. I had to stop it and my psychiatrist took me off of it at my request. But then I asked her if there was anything different and she told me to either take this medicine or forget it. So I didn't take anything for three years. And I never should have gotten put on the Triavil in the first place.

I for one haven’t trusted doctors for over 40 years. When I see family members on tons of medications, and take them because they believe their doctors, I just want to spit! I love doctors like yourself and other doctors who broke out of their molds and really look at different research. I have known doctors get their pockets lined by big pharmaceutical companies, and which many people die from every year. We are just cattle to them and it’s about time we take our health into our own hands, and if needed get help from doctors like yourself. It’s going to all change very soon. In the meantime I have to talk, again, to my husband about his different medications and first have him get at least 50 lbs off, then he probably won’t need anything he is on. Oh and on another subject you talk about is the Carnivore Diet. I need to get more educated on it, only so I can explain it to anyone I talk with. I’m getting huge resistance right now.

Was going to have to have a pain stimulator put in my back , Was so constipated I had to get prescription that cost over 300$. A month! Ridiculous. I started keto / carnivore and in 3wks. Almost pain free. Still stiff some It took a few weeks for my bowels to work properly again but now I’m doing good. Also my inflammation has gone down incredibly fast. I’m new at this so I’ve cheated just a bit. But I could tell. My back aching again. Going right back to carnivore strict this time. Also I’ve lost 15 lbs in 6 wks.

Traditional cures for constipation were earlier sauerkraut, also a way to preserve cabbage over the winter, and later milk of magnesia. Any big pharmacy will have stool softener pills on up for laxative effects. Like prescription drugs, you might need to try several to find one that works for you without any bad side effects.

Dr. Berry: you left out 3 entire classes that cause the Big C: benzodiazepines, anti epileptics, anti psychotics, and far more than just two of the anti depressants-basically all of the anti depressant class can cause constipation. ALL of the aforementioned classes cause constipation because they change the natural chemistry of the gut/brain axis. Once in awhile someone will have diarrhea from trying to stop one of these too fast or in very rare cases one of the drug classes mentioned might have a paradoxical effect and just do not work as intended. You are probably not too familiar with these drugs Dr. Berry because you are not a psychiatrist. I can further tell you that only about 1 in 100 psychiatrist can tell a patient who is taking any of the afore mentioned drugs how to safely taper off them. That’s an issue for another day but that’s the case in the US. European doctors have developed some tapering methods that can actually work.

The best thing to do to avoid constipation is NEVER, EVER take medications. If the doctor says you should go medication, IGNORE THEM!!! Medications cause way more harm than the condition itself, particularly if that condition has no symptoms present and you are otherwise fine. Being on medications only causes you to become sick and develop health problems that make you go to the hospital regularly. Having that condition is much better to taking medication.

This is all welcomed information. Unfortunately for me, I’m on about 4 of them and also take daily stool softeners to try and help. Is Diphenhydramine any better than Benedryl? I made that switch a couple of weeks ago. I have a Dr Appt in about a week.🤞

Benedryl is diphenhydramine.

My mistake! I meant that I switched to chlorpheniramine.

I take a few as well. It’s so difficult when we need them! Once a week I will have a cup of senna tea. That does it. But more water and lactulose help as well:)
