hey guys I wanted to create a quick video on a question then someone had about having less bowel movements when they did in a minute fasting was that normal okay so here’s the short answer to that when you’re eating less food less frequently you don’t need to go as often okay that’s the simplicity of it when you’re eating more frequent you’re gonna have to go more because you’re just the volume of food now there’s a difference between constipation and just having less bowel movements okay constipation is when you really feel like you’re bloated and backed up you need to go but you can’t go okay versus having a less balanced which you don’t even feel you need to go you just don’t go as frequent so if you feel constipated or backed up it’s probably related to either consuming too many vegetables or not enough vegetables okay the microbes live on the fiber so if you’re not doing enough vegetables increase it so they can have more food and help you with your digestion if it’s too many vegetables okay which is another possibility you that you’re not used to digesting especially certain types like the cruciferous like cabbage and broccoli and things that you’re probably not used to that can do it as well because you don’t have the microbes to break them down because the microbes have the enzymes break it down and so it just kind of sits there in which case you would want to change the type of vegetable that you’re consuming to something that you can digest I also recommend steaming your vegetables and having some that are fermented okay very important the last thing I want to mention is if you don’t have a gallbladder or you have a congestive gallbladder that means that you don’t have enough bile bile lubricates the colon so you may need to get some support with that and usually the symptoms of lack of bile would be your stool floats you get a full sensation over the right lower ribcage area that can refer to the right shoulder burping belching bloating gas okay so there’s something called gall bladder formula I put a link down below to check it out but that will help you lubricate the colon it has additional things in there to help with the pancreas stomach so it’s it’ll help you if this is the situation all right all right thanks for watching so I want to know what you’re interested in as far as a future video click the link down below and share some ideas I want to hear
