| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, |
| 0:07.0 | where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. |
| 0:12.0 | Now sometimes when you do prolonged fasting and you break the fast by eating, you may experience |
| 0:28.6 | certain digestive problems. So I want to address that. You could experience diarrhea, loose stools, |
| 0:33.6 | gas, abdominal pain, bloating, or nausea. |
| 0:38.3 | Now, the reason for all this is because your digestive system has kind of gone asleep and it hasn't woke up yet. |
| 0:46.3 | I'm talking about the fluids. It could be hydrochloric acid from the stomach. |
| 0:50.3 | It could be enzymes from the pancreas. It could be bile. |
| 1:00.2 | Or it could even be your good bacteria or flora in certain parts of your digestive tract. |

| 1:40.5 | stomach acid because the symptoms of low stomach acid would be gas, abdominal |
| 1:46.2 | bloating, and undigested food lower in the digestive tract. You can also take some purified |
| 1:52.3 | bile salts to help you break down certain fats as well. And the symptoms of low bio salts would be |
| 1:57.7 | like you're nauseated, or you have bloating, okay? |
| 2:01.6 | Or you might need some enzymes and that could be also bloating or pain more on the left side of your lower rib cage instead of the right. |
| 2:10.6 | The right would be gallbladder. The left would be more of the pancreas. You're just not able to kick in the pancreas to release these enzymes. So taking enzymes would take the stress off the pancreas. You're just not able to kick in the pancreas to release these enzymes. So taking |
