Today we’re going to talk about the #1 vitamin deficiency behind bladder issues: vitamin B1 deficiency.
A vitamin B1 deficiency could lead to problems, including:
• Leaky bladder
• Incomplete urination
• Frequent urination
• Getting up in the middle of the night to urinate
The common thread behind these bladder issues is actually a problem with the nervous system.
The main control with urine elimination stems from the brain, and this part of the brain is very sensitive to a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency.
A thiamine deficiency in the brain can even starve off certain neurons, causing a lack of function. The part of the brain that controls the bladder can shrink, leading to a loss of control of the bladder.
This situation is common with age and in those with diabetes, prediabetes, or chronic insulin resistance.
Natural tips to get rid of bladder issues:
1. Take vitamin B1 (benfotiamine and natural B1)
2. Get on the Healthy Keto® diet and do intermittent fasting
3. Drink 2.5 liters of fluid a day (not past 6 pm or 7 pm)
4. Consume apple cider vinegar (1 to 2 TBSP in water)
5. Reduce caffeine consumption
6. Massage the bladder

Thank you for this. I’ve suffered from this problem for years and years. I’ll try increasing my B1 intake from now on.
Dr E.Berg, Thank you for all the accurate information you give in your videos so pleasant and interesting to watch. For those with health problems each video is more hope for healing with at least one solution or even several . Vous êtes un bienfaiteur de l’humanité. Merci.
Thanks for the info Dr Berg 🌸 I don’t have this symptom right now, but for a while I used to wake up around 1 time in the night for that. This is gone since I started to use berberine supplement regularly.
Both of my parents have Bladder problem. It saddens and worries me. Thank you Dr.Berg.
This is so true. Dr. Berg you are a life saver, literally. Best doctor for life. Will never forget you. God bless.
Dr. Berg. I have recently figured out that all my fatigue and slow recovery after a workout comes from lack of micronutrients – which were depleted by working out to failure. I just would like to ask if you could make a video about a casual gym goer or weightlifter or not really an athlete per say, but trains extremely hard. I have concluded that I always try to train to failure. And when I do i get sick after a few days. Now that I have decided to supplement with a natural multivitamin and B1. So far it has grealty helped with the recovery and not getting sick part. This is going to sound crazy and I believe movies tend to show how hard someone works out in the “Training Montage” Scenes. They neglect nutrition, and this leaves a lot of young people as myself to push hard but not increase the intake of nutrients. Not just food like protein and other macros, but actual nutrients which are mostly B vitamins especially if it involves the muscle.
If anything I believe Dr Berg’s vlog has helped many people listen to what their body is saying and encouraging them to act.
I thought I was having bladder infection/irritation but it was from DIM supplementing. Also, eating raw pumpkin seeds daily has helped me with urgency. (About to celebrate 3 years keto in April!!☺) Thank you Dr B!!
YES!!! I gave our dog pumpkin seed extract for her incontinence and it totally took care of her leaking. If we ran out there’d be tell-tale drips on the floor. No one can say a dog has psychosomatic responses so I’m thoroughly convinced it has to really work.
What’s DIM supplement?
I damaged my whole bladder system for the 8 months I was coughing hard and incessantly due to an undiagnosed histamine intolerance. Now I’m healing my gut and avoiding histamine containing or producing food, and this will help me undo the bladder damage, too. Thank you!
@Beede Bawng I learned from Dr. Berg that intermittent fasting could resolve immune issues (which were obvious; I was experiencing massive asthma and congestion all the time) so I started OMAD (having been low carb already). As soon as I only ate once a day I was able to correlate my symptoms with ingesting food. ANY food. So then I read up on what caused food intolerance and learned all about histamine intolerance and MCAS which I clearly (at that point) have. And, as Basil Maz says, the symptoms are varied, but I was getting to the point where I was nearly anaphylactic after ingesting ANYTHING so I got the granddaddy of all possible symptoms, lucky me.
@Basil Maz And yay for me I had the “rare” near-anaphylaxis response.
@Melanie Starkey Green tea? That’s a no-no for histamine intolerance…as is basically everything else. I fast a LOT…I wish I never had to eat or drink again.
@Melanie Starkey Most everything you want to eat, unfortunately. Healthy foods. Just look it up!
@Beede Bawng typically, it’s figured out through diet. Limit histamine foods, histamine liberating foods, etc… There’s a lot to know, so research histamine diets, Dao supplements.
Eric is now one of my main sources of health info on the internet, very good job.
Totally!
I’ve learned so much from you thank you my gallbladder does not hurt like before😊thank you thank you
I’ve cured a lot of problems with my health by watching Dr. Berg. A key problem I noticed is our food lacks vitamins so we have to go out and take vitamin supplements. If our food had actual vitamins I feel like we would be fine.
I love that you call him Eric. ❤️
If you want professional medical health information there is only one Dr. Berg. Short precise informative information with a twist of humour every now & again . 😊😊😊
Thank you very much. Appreciate your comment.
@Dr. Eric Berg DC question please (it’s kinda embarrassing but I’m desperate for information) could you please do a video on hormones and perimenopause please❓(it’s a living NIGHTMARE 😱) also since being in perimenopause I’ve noticed a difference in my bladder 👈🏻😱⚠️ SERIOUSLY what is happening to my body it’s like I’m falling apart like I’m 80 years old 😱
@Dr. Eric Berg DC 👋🏻 since you’re the best in the world 🌍🤍 could you do a video on HORMONES effecting/flaring up the HEART ♥️ (please 🙏🏻)
Sending this to my sister, who suffers from all of these symptoms Dr. Berg. Thank you for expertise and advice! ❤
Thanks for sharing. Hope the information here will help her.
Interesting. I have been having urgency since a late teenager and it has been getting worse and worse as a young adult. I searched for information many times and found out it was possibly a nerve issue, but it was said to not be fixable. It would really surprise me if this worked.
Try and stay away from natural flavors and dye’s or added chemicals in your food. That might help, too.
Another factor to consider would be if any other members of the family have similar issues. If not, then definitely worth evaluating such a therapy
Thank you for your answers. Although we don’t have the same symptoms, I suspect many of us are pre diabetic. My grandma even developed diabetic neuropathy. I might be getting the same, so I should definitely be cutting carbs and processed foods.
I realized how increased stress can create the need to pee, even if on keto and intermittent fasting. So that’s a sign I need to increase b1. That’s a point I need to remember. ❤
Thanks so much for this information, Dr Berg. So grateful for your channel and informative, sane posts! You’re massively reassuring.
I’m fortunate. Been a T-1 diabetic since age 19. I’m now 71. No diabetic neuropathy. No bladder issues. I walk 2 miles four to five times weekly. Lost a lot of weight. And eat healthy. Plus, I have a great endocrinologist.
Your videos are very helpful. Thanks.
🎉🎉🎉😊
Great to hear, hopefully many many more years of good health! 👍
Wow! You are very lucky Can you please share if your endocrinologist is located in Orlando area? I would like to find a good one for my husband!
im a type 1 too i pee all the time tho even in range
Two remarks: 1) I think it would be useful for viewers when they consider a vitamine deficiency that in my view the symptoms have to show (or not) some consistency. In my view, again, a deficiency can not be the cause when your symptoms differ hugely from day to day or from week tot week, for you can’t be deficient one day and no longer the next one. Or can you? So some guideline may be useful. 2) I don’t know what the average amount of pee is normally, but 2,5 L is a lot (in a moderate climate)(added to fluids in vegetables, fruit etc) and with an average of 300 cc you’ll easily have to go to the bathroom 10 times a day, even more when you have these typical complaints. Besides, you may drain your body from minerals with these amounts.
The problem is that a vitamin deficiency various among people so much, so you have to look at each nutrient and compare this to what you eat. What I am trying to is make you aware of certain connections, so its in your radar so you can increase as necessary. If you drink 2.5 liters of water day – you won’t have much dilution – only if you’re getting into a gallon.
I can’t thank you enough Dr.Berg for all your efforts and valuable information 🙏🏻
You’re very welcome! Glad to help!
I’ve had a frequent peeing problem since i can remember, since being a child. Around 30 i decided to do something about it, saw urologist, had some tests done and started taking meds for overactive bladder. Been taking it for years. I recently started IF 16/8, eating more meat and I decreased amount of carbs (im eating 1 gluten meal a day pre celiac tests right now, but after tests im going low carb as it makes me very bloated). I didn’t take my bladder meds for 2 days – i was out one day and i forgot another day and i noticed that i did not pee any more frequently without it (2-3 months earlier, when i didn’t take the pill, i had to go to the toilet every 5 min) 🤔 so i decided to try to completely stop taking it. And my bladder is just fine 😮 I don’t need meds anymore 😳 Still can’t believe it
So did removing gluten and carbs help the overactive bladder? Good luck.
De. Berg, you are an Angel!!! How many health issues we have in our family and thanks to your programs and your dedication we are all getting and feeling better. I’m going through menopause and I have the worst scenery, including frequent urination but im reducing the carbs and taking the vitamins D and B1,etc, following always your advises and I’m feeling much better now..Thank you!! It’s amazing what you are doing for all of us in this difficult times we are living. Thank you so much may God protect you and bless you and your family!!!
Hi Dr Berg. I’m a 16 year old female. Last summer I became anorexic. Tofu and spinach were the only foods I didn’t fear to eat, and so I ate a lot of soy for about a month. I lost a lot of weight, the condition of my skin was terrible and I experienced a lot of stress. In autumn my mental health went back to normal. I got really concerned about my period loss. I even started eating meat again after years of vegetarianism. I’ve been feeling very good lately, I even grew a little bit taller, and look a lot healthier, but unfortunately there’s still no sign of my period 😞. I’ve gotten it once in January, but then it just disappeared again. I don’t stress a lot nowadays, but sometimes I start panicking due to my period not coming back. What should I do?
What’s your BMI? What is your exact diet and daily calories today?
@Larry C My BMI had always been quite low, even when everything was okay and I had my period regularly. The most I weighted in my life was around 43kg (I’m 164/5’4)
Yes, good question because your periods are a reflection of your fertility. I would re-evaluate your foods and make sure what I recommend in my books and videos – making sure the foods are nutrients, like seafood, shellfish for example. You need the trace minerals – high quality eggs are also essential and you may also need more vitamin D3 – like 10,000 IUs.
@G P Yes, I got my blood tests done and went to a gynecologist, but the doctors told me that everything is alright
@Dr. Eric Berg DC Thank You doctor
