This is what happens if you drink an unreasonable amount of fiber supplements!

I'm a fan of this guy's YouTube work (he's a real MD) and this one had me more interested because many ostomates take fiber supplements to slow down/thicken their bowel movements. 

Always use those products as directed or this will happen:

And a second video about the same topic:

Its a case of a little knowledge is dangerous!

I always recommend to do some of your own research, especially these days, you can't believe everything your read on the internet. a quote I like is "Believe none of what your hear and only half of what you see"!

That amount of psyllium in 2 ltrs water !!!!!

The "Darwin awards" are awaiting those that are that stupid.

Very interesting. Crazy that he thought he could make up for all the fiber he was short his whole life in one day. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also after watching the first video, another one started by the same guy, so I thought it was the second one you were referring to. I ended up watching an 18 min video about another Darwin Award winner so almost died from diet supplements. He was in the ER in and out of consciousness and refused to tell the doctors what he had taken because he was worried it was illegal. 

I like this doctor. These videos are as entertaining as Netflix. 😂 Thanks Eric!

Haha Chris! 🤣 Sooo dishy. 😂

Actually I just like finding humor wherever I can and when the guys after eating his fiber drink, then made a peanut butter and fiber jelly sandwich, it made me laugh a lot. It still amazes me how daft he was to think he could consume a lifetime of fiber in one day. 😂

How sad - really. Just goes to show that you can't always believe what's on the internet and how gullible people can be!

My son an I watch his videos often. They are entertaining and informative!  Just don't go too far back in his play list. Let's just say that before he became a doctor his videos were... interesting 😂

Now I’m intrigued. Like a child—tell me not to do something and it’s all I want to do. 😂
