Hashimoto’s and Constipation

00:00:00
Where the hashimoto's might be the cause of your constipation it's stunning to me how many people have
00:00:07
no idea that they've had constipation like forever and that their thyroid was the problem
00:00:14
so so hashimoto's immunity against your thyroid
00:00:19
heart palpitations anxiety panic attacks to different degrees for some of you there's actually some of you don't have
00:00:24
those symptoms yet that's called silent autoimmunity but in the end the core of hashimoto's
00:00:30
is that it's a hypothyroid problem the the the the the thyroid itself gets beat up by
00:00:37
the immune system okay and depending on the degree of destruction to your thyroid you will
00:00:45
get a variety of the symptoms i just got done talking about but you always get
00:00:51
a hypothyroid your thyroid will always ultimately go into hypo function okay i'm going to take them back there is a
00:00:59
thin hyperactive hashimoto's patient they are far in the minority but
00:01:04
90 95 time you're going to get hypothyroid i just the word hypo pretty much defines
00:01:10
it all the thyroid controls all your energy and controls your temperature right but
00:01:15
it controls your energy it literally so if it when it slows down it slows everything down i can talk about
00:01:21
hypothyroidism constipation hypothyroidism and female hormones and hypothyroidism and poor digestion and
00:01:27
stuff like that relative to to that so so hypothyroid i think is the number two cause of
00:01:34
constipation that i see in my practice number one causes stress by the way chronic stress
00:01:40
but and and chronic stress can cause the hypothyroid uh the hashimoto's which can both cause
00:01:46
constipation the hypothyroid does it just by slowing the whole digestive
00:01:52
chain down it basically slows down the ability of your stomach's what are called parietal cells to make
00:02:01
hydrochloric acid you don't make that you can't sterilize your food you can't hydrochloric acid sterilizes your food
00:02:08
before it gets you know to your gallbladder your pancreas and your intestines it
00:02:12
it digests your your proteins it creates a proper acidic balance in there for those of you who are the alkaline
00:02:19
people we need an acidic bolus to go down into the into the uh slightly acidic um
00:02:26
uh intestines so that we have a nice natural environment to kill viruses and bacterias and parasites well that
00:02:32
doesn't happen when the thyroid starts slowing down and then and then there's a
00:02:36
and then there's a signal that goes from the stomach to the gallbladder so the
00:02:42
stomach tells the gallbladder not to work because it doesn't have enough
00:02:45
hydrochloric acid and the bolus is not acidic and the bolus is not chopped up but also the thyroid directly
00:02:54
causes your gallbladder to get slower and to not eject your bile the way it should be it's
00:03:03
called an ejection fraction for those of you who've had your gallbladders checked had them taken
00:03:07
out you know what an ejection fraction is because that's what they measure they
00:03:11
measure how your gallbladder is is pumping and they look at stones and stuff like that but this will compute
00:03:16
this will cause you to create stones despite what you eat and then same thing with
00:03:22
pancreas it slows down the pancreas so now you're not making enough digestive enzymes you're not making enough
00:03:26
hydrochloric acid all bladders struggling and they want to take it out
00:03:31
so let's you know let's let's give you out let's give you almeprazole the antacids for your stomach and let's
00:03:38
uh let's take your gallbladder out and you know let's give you uh something for your for your pancreas
00:03:44
maybe maybe you go to an alternative practitioner for your pancreas and get pancreatic enzymes
00:03:48
and so let's give you all that and and the person feels better temporarily but that's only going
00:03:54
to last a while because if the thyroid is still a problem everything is going to keep slowing down
00:03:58
all of that is going to cause you to not digest your bolus right all of that is ultimately
00:04:03
going to could lead to anything it could lead to inflammation on the
00:04:09
inside of your stomach it could lead to leaky gut it could lead to food sensitivities it could lead to
00:04:14
small intestinal bacteria overgrowth eventually it could lead to you having massive food sensitivities but
00:04:21
it certainly is going to lead to you having constipation because you're not digesting anything
00:04:26
the inside of your intestines isn't going right so so the waters aren't going to be
00:04:30
absorbed the nutrients aren't going to be broken down right the acidity in your stomach is going to become
00:04:34
alkaline and all that stuff is going to cause you to have constipation so i mean it's really it's really
00:04:42
a a very very common cause of constipation it's it's uh um
00:04:49
so what's the cause so what's the solution for that by the way you know what is the solution for it's the
00:04:53
solution to take to take antacids in your for your for your stomach
00:04:58
or even hydrochloric acid even apple cider vinegar which will which will help temporarily okay or is
00:05:04
it to take pancreatic enzymes or take like bile salts for your gallbladder take all that and then come
00:05:10
in here and tell me i already cured all that i already healed all that
00:05:14
i get that a lot a little button on that because it's kind of like well what are you doing here you know you're doing
00:05:20
here because you haven't really dug in and figured out what the what the root cause of the problem was
00:05:25
now the root cause of the problems in my office is usually going to be hashimoto's and or chronic stress
00:05:31
responses or both well she might have had 39 different triggers that kind of like is a whole
00:05:36
different ball game and maybe figure out which one or two or three triggers there is
00:05:40
has your have your whole digestive chain start opening up as opposed to taking apple cider vinegar for the rest of your
00:05:45
life unless you need to unless you have like autoimmune gastritis or you have something on your
00:05:50
stomach that can't make hydrochloric acid you know or have your gallbladder out i had my gallbladder out and
00:05:56
everything felt better you need your gallbladder let me tell you you need your gallbladder
00:06:01
and then you have and in your pancreas so it's so that's hashimoto's slash hypothyroidism
00:06:10
and constipation and it's it's you know well we'll use things which you already know about well i mean
00:06:18
we'll use smooth tea we'll use we'll use magnesium four or five hundred milligrams well you will
00:06:23
use whatever it is depending on what person has if they have some if they have parkinson's or if
00:06:28
they have some like neurodegeneration we might use neurotransmitters but there's a number of things
00:06:32
we can use to get people's bowels moving that's not but that's hopefully temporary you know
00:06:37
do that in the beginning because you want a person's balance moving why do you want your bowels moving
00:06:41
because it feels better but because if because that's the final part of detoxification is getting all those
00:06:48
toxins into the toilet so so we'll we'll we'll do what we'll do dr google if you will you can look
00:06:55
online and see all that and uh we'll do that in the beginning while we then
00:07:00
go back and attack the root cause to ultimately be able to establish a proper digestive
00:07:06
change so that that person's bowel movements become normal and boy a lot of things change when you do that
