Why I Don’t Recommend Mineral Oil For Constipation

Do I recommend mineral oil for constipation?

Firstly, mineral oil is a petroleum product. It’s a by-product from crude oil refineries. Several products stem from the process of making gasoline – baby oil and Vaseline intensive care, for example.

My question is, why would anyone want to drink a product related to crude oil? These products contain chemicals called alkanes and cycloalkanes. They say this is a harmless mixture, but there was a time when car exhaust and cigarette smoking were also considered safe. Don’t buy into the claim that all artificial compounds are harmless, and all pharmaceutical drugs are harmless. Some people even claim that natural remedies will make you sick, and what you need are products from factories.

You don’t need mineral oil for constipation. Sure, it might work, but consider where it comes from.

If you want to use an oil for constipation, use olive oil. Olive oil has the added advantage of containing acids that help expel toxins from the liver and gallbladder. Olive oil is natural, it contains antioxidants, and it’s safe.

When olive oil gets into the digestive tract, it coats parts of the colon and stool, making the movement of stool much easier. Why settle for mineral oil when you can use a natural product like olive oil?

Symptoms Of Intestinal Fermentation Gone Wrong

Some clients report having so much brain fog and fatigue after eating that it feels like they’re in a coma.

In my experience, those types of reactions to food are a result of eating bread, potatoes, starch food, candy, and similar items. It’s usually a grain or a food that the body acts on quickly that results in brain fog and fatigue. I really doubt that those symptoms would be the result of eating eggs, lean protein, or broccoli.

After you chew and swallow, your food is processed by the hydrochloric acid in your stomach, digestive enzymes, and bacteria further down the intestinal tract. Fermentation is a complex process that involves many different strains of bacteria and many different biochemical reactions.

If you react to a particular food, my number one recommendation is to have a comprehensive stool analysis completed. This is an essential test because you might have a massive war occurring in your gut that you don’t know about. Dysbiotic bacteria can cause a lot of symptoms after eating.

The faster your reaction to food, the more likely the problem is higher up in the GI tract. If the symptoms start an hour or two after eating, the problem is likely in the lower part of the stomach or upper part of the small intestine. If the symptoms occur more quickly, it’s likely to be a stomach related problem. If symptoms take hours to occur, the problem is likely in the lower part of the intestines.

Fermentation is influenced by the mix of bacteria in your gut. If you have an abundance of harmful bacteria, fermentation can occur too quickly. Different receptors in the small intestine aren’t set up to handle the high volume of fermentation. The receptor sites are so full that there isn’t any room for digestive hormones to act on the intestine. The result is symptoms like anxiety and brain fog. Blood sugar dysregulation also occurs, leading to fatigue.

Too much fermentation can also result in the release of toxic by-products like ammonia, methane, and hydrogen. These gases can enter the bloodstream and result in cognitive symptoms such as brain fog and depression.

Many factors can contribute to poor small intestine fermentation. Poor pancreatic function with reduced amounts of digestive enzymes can interfere with healthy fermentation.

An experiment you can do at home is to take a good quality digestive enzyme with your meal. If you no longer have the “coma” type reaction, it could mean that you need digestive enzyme supplementation. If you notice no difference, the next step would be the stool analysis to check out the microbiology of your gut.

Remember, small problems now can turn into big problems down the road. Now’s the best time to investigate and treat.

An Introduction To Seborrheic Dermatitis

What is seborrheic dermatitis?

Seborrheic dermatitis is a type of skin condition that is relatively common. Many people present with a dandruff form of seborrheic dermatitis. The dandruff version is also called pityriasis capitis. Dandruff is essentially an uncomplicated, uninflamed form of seborrheic dermatitis.

Seborrheic dermatitis affects the skin in areas of the body that have sebaceous (fatty) glands. It can be found on the chest, face, upper back, neck, and scalp. This skin condition often starts on the scalp and then moves into other regions. It’s not a fatal skin condition, but it can be quite unsightly, uncomfortable, and distressing.

Some people have both psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. Seborrheic dermatitis can affect people from infancy to old age.

You can find a whole series of videos on seborrheic dermatitis on my YouTube Channel. In those videos, I review how to make the diagnosis, the best diet for seborrheic dermatitis, and natural treatment options for the condition.

How To Diagnose Seborrheic Dermatitis

The yeast Malassezia is implicated in seborrheic dermatitis. It’s a naturally occurring skin fungus, so there’s no point in doing a skin scraping test. It’s rarely done because it doesn’t help make the diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis. Biopsies are not usually required for the diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis.

Generally, the family doctor or dermatologist will make the diagnosis of seborrheic dermatitis based on appearance and their clinical experience. However, I’ve seen many cases of people misdiagnosed. There have been shockingly severe psoriasis cases misdiagnosed as eczema. I’ve seen horrible eczema cases misdiagnosed as seborrheic dermatitis. And, I’ve seen clients with fungal skin rashes who were told they had a bacterial skin infection.

If you’re uncertain if you’ve been diagnosed correctly, go to Google and search the images on different skin websites. In most cases, you’ll be able to recognize your problem. You don’t need a skin specialist to use Google images to your benefit.

However, it’s not a good idea to try and diagnose your own skin cancer. In that situation, you definitely want to involve a medical expert. There are numerous things to look for in skin cancer, including itchiness, odd coloring, recent changes to your moles, and even just your feeling that something isn’t right. Don’t try and diagnose skin cancer on your own – that’s why you go to professionals.

But if what you have is red, flakey, oily, itchy skin, starting with Google images of seborrheic dermatitis, is reasonable. Just remember, if in doubt, check it out (with your doctor).

Using the Candida Crusher Diet to Manage Seborrheic Dermatitis

If you have seborrheic dermatitis, it’s essential to pay close attention to your diet. Chances are if you have the condition, you’ve already put away those cans of soda, energy drinks, candy, ice cream, and any other junk.

The best advice I can give if you want a proper diet for seborrheic dermatitis is to look at some of my healthy eating videos on YouTube.

The best foods for seborrheic dermatitis are anti-inflammatory, low allergy goods.

Anti-inflammatory foods include the following:

· Colorful vegetables

· Brassicas like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and Brussel sprouts

· Nuts and seeds

· Flaxseed oil

· Garlic and ginger

Pro-inflammatory foods to avoid include red meat, particularly beef, and eggs. Refined, highly processed foods also trigger inflammation. Cow’s milk and dairy products are not great foods to consume if you have a skin condition like seborrheic dermatitis. I would absolutely recommend that you take cheese, milk, cream, and all those sorts of foods out of your diet. These foods are congesting and inflammatory. Dairy products have the potential to trigger significant skin problems.

If I had seborrheic dermatitis, I would focus on protein sources like fish and free-range chicken. Good grains to eat include quinoa and brown rice.

Supplements can be helpful with seborrheic dermatitis as well. Omega- 3 fatty acid supplements that contain DHA and EPA are a good choice. The EPA is particularly important due to its anti-inflammatory actions. I recommend taking two omega-3 capsules each day.

All of my psoriasis patients go on the Candida Crusher diet. I think that’s the best approach to take with seborrheic dermatitis as well. The Candida Crusher diet helps contain yeast and make sure it doesn’t go haywire internally or externally. I think that’s an excellent approach to take for seborrheic dermatitis.
