Don't underestimate stress folks. Many people think stress is this invisible ethereal thing, but its really there. Anxious people tend to have gut issues- solve the underlying issue , which is most often related to stress. Somethings you've been ignoring, or avoiding. Either you have adhd issues and you're carrying too much weight, or you don't talk your problems out. Or , most commonly watching movies or media that bring darkness, sadness, depression or anxiety into your life. More than eliminating bread, try eliminating negative media of all kinds. Music that is too violent or loud? change it to soft and calming music. Happy movies, not sad. Talk with friends about positive things, nature is your friend, get some sun and walk. Fix whatever is causing your anxiety and your gut will follow- it is your second brain after all. ( obviously don't ignore your dietary needs and supplements)
went to a functional medicine doctor a few months ago and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for my health!. My husband is going now as well. No more conventional medicine for us. Unless I break my arm I won’t be going back. So tired of being lied to! Our FM do highly suggests we listen to Dr Hyman as well.
It took me 17 different doctors over 31 years, but I am finally doing much better for over a year now. I had IBS-D. I am much less nervous to leave my house now & do certain activities that I could not do for 31 years.
Sir, your talks on health issues provides valuable information. Thanks. However, I shall request a rather slower and clearer delivery of words for the benefit of many who are sure to immensely benefit from such good scientific discussions. Thanks again
Is there a reason why functional medicine doctors don't usually accept insurance? I would love to find one but paying out of pocket is just too much, and my plan does not reimburse for out of network providers. I'm so unhappy with the usual care that's out there
They do not except insurance because they are stupid. I spent $750 dollars for 1 visit and blood work. For my thyroid. And we spoke about my uncontrolled IBS
@@liftpeopleup that's not it, lol. It's because regular insurance doesn't pay for things outside of the "standard of care". Regular medicine basically ensures everyone does mainstream treatments by not paying for other treatments. Most functional medicine doctors would love to accept insurance because they'd get way more business. The insurance companies just don't pay for it.
Insurance companies don’t pay for preventative care. They only pay for traditional care, which has you going back to doctors repeatedly. Insurance companies are not about health they are about money and wellness.
I am a YA (young Adult) male as Ihave had IBS-D since I was ten. It comes on and off, sometimes (rarely) have had urgent incontinence, hence urgent accidents -- even in public spaces! VERY embarrassing (and expensive on the laundry bill!
i had a doc years ago tell me he could only prescribe meds, but did not know how to cure it .. he said trial and error with food might be worth my time . he did me a huge favor with that advice. fortunately now, we have Many DOCTORS now that are on cutting edge of healing. KEEP LEarning.
Intesteringly enough I had an IBS flare up and I went to a gastroenterologist who prescribed a drug for constipation which sent my gut over the edge. ( I also have celiac and have followed a gluten free diet for many years.) I finally quit taking the drug when I looked like I was 8 months pregnant and went to the health food store where I got supplements for gut renewal. Between watching your videos, following the IBS diet and taking the correct supplements my gut is healing. Thanks to you and I hope my story helps someone else.
I tried Metamucil which apperently helps some people. It got way worse, my chronic problems almost became accute. It quieted down as soon as i stopped with the Metamucil.
I’m 72 and I’ve had acid reflux for 40 years. I’ve stopped eating at night, never can eat Italian tomato sauce anymore, have an awful time with meats(just eat an ounce or two when I do eat it), never eat a whole plate of dinner anymore. Don’t eat spicy food, don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol. But I can’t imagine stopping the omeprazole. I need a sensible plan to get off of it. I simply can’t ever again have acid rush up my esophagus. Could I get a response? Thank you
Dr. Hyman, a written list of all the testing would be ideal. A comprehensive list of tests to rule out all the major diseases and syndromes, and then the more detailed tests you mentioned. I would love to have something to approach a GI doctor with, so we don’t omit anything. Thank you.
I doctored with ibs symptoms for over 6 years . 6 months ago, I went on elimination diet. basic KETO, BEEF bacon, salmon. no flour or sugar products. and no processed foods. my symptoms vanished . if I fall off KETO , symptoms come back. my GI DOC said diet has nothing to do with it . 😮
@@charvankerck9617 my GI doc that did my colonoscopy, in 2021, said diet has nothing to do with colon cancer. However, he failed to address any of my IBS symptoms. I’m consulting with a new GI doc in Feb-2024 to hopefully get testing outside of the actual colonoscopy, and get more answers. I’d agree, junk food definitely doesn’t help the IBS situation. The more carbs and sugar the worse. But, as we know too many high fodmaps and too much fiber isn’t good either.
Thank you so much Dr!! I have been binge-watching all your podcast on ibs-d , sibo etc... Also your interview with dr. Mark Pimentel and his videos. Following your suggestions for just a few days, and I already feel massively better!!
I’ve been having awful IBS symptoms for years and they are getting worse now that I’m having acid reflux daily and my flairs seem to happen during ovulation time could be hormonal IBS? How can I fix this it’s ruining my life
Have you tried the food elimination diet? I found out I needed to stop many raw vegetables and eat more meat. Also I started walking and biking daily and I think that helped. Like an hour or more a day. My IBS is almost gone now cause of those two changes in my life

Search for a functional medicine doctor in your area or a big city by you if you are in the suburbs or rural area. Look for a functional medicine doctor who has a MD or DO next to their name, that's how you know they are legit.
You are great! This is my problem: where do I find a doctor who knows as much as you do about IBS? I went to a gastroenterologist, he gave me a sheet with the Fodmap diet and he told me to go back in a year. Nonsense!
Please don't give up. I respect doctors but a lot of them don't want to think outside the box. They only want to patch the symptoms instead of finding (and fixing) the root of the problem. I was diagnosed with IBS as well since 2021 after having horrible and painful flare ups (they are not fun).

Just don't give up 👍
Try the IBS Treatment Center, North of Seattle, WA. They helped me, after 31 years of IBS-D. All done over the phone, although I would have gladly flown up there. It look many phone call appts over about 5 months to get me better, and lots of testing.
Please, where can I come see you or get all of these tests done? I’ve been on many diets, thousands of supplements (they always work at first then completely stop) and I’ve told my doctor about all my symptoms and he is clueless. Constant bloating and constipation, abdominal pain, inflamed colon (tmi) severe anxiety and fatigue, severe brain fog, memory loss the last few years, highly stressed all the time, EXTREME insomnia, and I eat healthy! I take pro biotics, every vitamin out there (and all natural stuff with the least amount of additives possible) I spend hundreds ever money, and I work out. Nothing makes sense… please help if you can.

I have had moderate to severe IBS-C for several years. Three months ago I had the worst attack with IBS and rectal bleeding for 4 days, along with free-flowing acid to throat and mouth if I bent over to pick something up and lasted for three weeks and improved after watching your videos and other doctors. I am 5'5" and down to 103 lbs and weak. The silent reflux has taken my normal voice as if I have laryngitis. Will see an ENT Oct 4th, and hopefully he won't put me on medications. How about moving to SC and be my doctor! Thank you for this video and other of your videos! Sandy
You’ve got it even worse than I do. I REALLY feel for you because it’s been a life altering nightmare for years. Whatever you do, don’t let that acid come up your esophagus. Sleep sitting up if you have to. Don’t bend over after a meal. Don’t eat foods that require an acid onslaught in your stomach. I’m going to try what the doctor here recommends.
i had 2 stool tests done from to different clinics both found nothing , 1 tissue biopsy because i had 2 small ulcers and that test was good .so for me ibs started out as acid reflux but then over time i got mild cnstipation , brain fog and thyroid issues and still no doctor ive seen can tell me WTH is going on
I have had c diff twice and have taken vancomycin to get rid of it. I thought I had IBS now, but stool test says C diff. They gave me ceftin and I think that gave to me again. Im getting so so sick. What do you tell your patients with this dilemma. The vancomycin makes me so sick.
I've kind of disregarded you for a while because you're a little too plant-based and seemed to not think highly of red meat, that said, I believe you have a lot of good information besides that. Keep up the good work. I will be watching., a lot of time say things like small amounts of red meat are OK. I'm kind of paraphrasing that, but I think you agree with what I'm saying. What's wrong with larger servings of red meat? I'd like to know your opinion and the reasons you think that way. Keep up the good work.
I'm practically dying from this. I've changed my entire diet just from listening to your vids on utube. And sometimes my ibs is just out of control. I have no faith in traditional Doctors, I feel they are incompetent in so many ways. That sounds mean because it is. Why are our insurance companies paying these white coats who give no relief?
The insurance companies pay the white coats to prescribe drugs that the big pharma companies pay the insurance companies to cover. It's a huge cycle of corruption and conflicts of interests.
I'll tell you what causes SIBO relapse. Even if you use common sense, there only 2 ways for bacteria to enter your small intestines. 1. Through stomach, so if you have low stomach acid (due to antacids, stress, age, low salt diet, antibiotics, NSAIDs, etc.) the bacteria in food won't be killed in stomach and will keep entering your intestines causing SIBO relapse. Use Betaine HCL, ACV, Potassium, Salt and Niacin (B-3) to recover your stomach acid. 2. Ileocecal Valve Syndrome/dysfunction, you may have a chronically Stuck Open or Stuck Close Ileocecal Valve which can have due to a couple of reasons like Stress, caffeine, diet, food allergies, food sensitivities, and SIBO. In case of SIBO, more often than not, its stuck open, allowing bacteria from large intestines to regurgitate back into small intestines causing all sort of problems. You might wanna look into taking good amounts of Chlorophyll on empty stomach to help the valve function better in case you have Stuck open valve. You will also need to eliminate a whole list of food temporarily and add digestive enzymes for better/complete digestion to prevent this valve dysfunction. I recommend carnivore diet for 2 months while you address all these issues. Last but not least, you want prokinetics to keep things moving in your intestines. Use Ginger tea, Iberogast and Bile Salts on empty stomach for this. If you do not address these issues first, killing SIBO would not help as the relapse will keep occurring. Hope this helps.
@@ubaidullahakhtar9727 Nice explanation.I had a small bowel resection and dont have illeocecal valve anymore.What would you do in my shoes,what would you eat,what would you avoid.I tried raw goat milk but get bloated and lots of gas.Thank you.

You are my light in the storm…I live in Blue Ridge Ga….can you recommend a good functional med Dr? I’m so sick in my gut and have burning mouth for two years, which no one has helped me with. I hope you are well. Thks bon
Listening to this great doctor I realize that we are going to doctors that are too mediocre. I have been suffering from this problem for years, it is very difficult to feel like this on a daily basis. I have asked two different doctors for something as simple as a stool analysis and in both cases they have refused, saying that it is something that is not necessary. They have never done a study on me for anything, they have preferred to do endoscopies and colonoscopies than a simple stool examination. In a single video I was able to confirm my suspicions, they are a joke. Thank you, doctor Hyman!
When they refuse tell them you’d like it put in your chart that you asked for such and such test and that they refused. They will change their tune so quick! Sorry they are not doing what you ask :(
Important information.. you doing great work.. Thank you. but audio quality is not good.. also presention of info is not viewer friendly.. specialy treatment part could have been presented and explained better.. if possible please provide information with visuals notes, points etc. Thank you.
You have my sub good doctor! It pains that i have to go to the internet to get an actual treatment and noy just be put on symptom suppressing pills. God bless you!
I think he means temporarily for elimination diet as eggs are a common food people struggle to digest but you can often reintroduce them once healed leaky gut.
Hopefully these comments actually mean something.. I have acid reflux in a bad way, I feel everything mentioned I follow and just tried giving up coffee, which I really didn't have much of any way but no help. What is weird, is I heard he DR. mention bacteria... I have had toenail issues lately (both my big toes under the nailbeds just turn to powder and nothing is working for treatment. I just wonder if these are signs of something or have something to do with the reflux.
I have been deteriorating badly in the last 6 months, since I had a severe dry cough. Nothing that has helped previously is having any effect and I've been to hospital numerous times, my Functional Medicine Doctor and Gastroenterologist have both given up. They have no idea what is happening. I've had Faecal Transplants previously and they have helped, but in the last 6 months they have actually made it worse. In the last 2 months it has actually spread up into my mouth and throat. It started with what seemed like a slimey biofilm. Perhaps from candida, as I'd had oral thrush. Then a fizzy type gas started building up on the whole surface of my mouth, which felt like my skin inside my mouth and throat were fermenting. This has gradually spread and has has now broken down the whole lining of my mouth and throat, to the point where it is literally just a porous spongy tissue left. The lining is completely broken down. I feels the same all the way through my whole digestive tract. Doctors are just assuming that I am crazy when I explain this. But, it is unfortunately, all too real. I just got a stool test back. My bifido bacteria were a bit low, butyrate was also a bit low. But, Calprotecton was 117 and funnily enough, my akkermansia muciniphila was the highest level possible. Which is supposed to be good for the digestive lining. But, anyway, I am at a point of complete despair. Doctors are just passing me onto another doctor or suggesting mental illness. No idea what to do next.
I'm on state assistance. I was diagnosed with h pylori by a student doctor who was about to graduate. During our third visit, my primary physician literally bitched him out for testing me. She refuses to retest me and continue a treatment plan. What should I do?
It would be helpful if you would try to not do little laughs throughout your presentation. Sometimes it makes the words hard to hear. You give really good helpful information!
@@dbedazzling1 Obviously I WAS doing that. I left a positive comment, unlike you. I gave a helpful suggestion while your comment is only rude, disrespectful, and mean-spirited. YOU need to grow-up.
So everyone knows, THERE ARE FAKE DR HYMANS ON UTUBE AND INSTAGRAM BEWARE... OBVIOUSLY THIS ISNT BUT THERE ARE FAKE ONES I WAS STUPID THINKING WOW HE ACTUALLY ANSWERED ME. NO HE DIDNT SOME OTHER PERSON WAS PRETENDING, SOME SIK LONLEY, GAME OF I HAVE NO LIFE
Can IBS form without the crappy diet? Mine came out of nowhere it seems and I have eaten a pretty healthy diet most of my life. Suddenly I couldn’t tolerate many vegetables anymore and even steak. It is hard for me to have a healthy diet when my body turned on me. Any advice on where to start healing my gut??
You might want to look up Dr. McDougall and his elimination diet. Which is basically rice, potatoes (white and sweet), and cooked vegetables. Wish you the best success!❤️
My colleague is getting treated by Planet Ayurveda for his IBS, which is getting better with each passing day and he's hopeful that he'll get rid of it
Can you please refer someone in Orange County calif ? I have spent thousands on say they are like you and Funcional medicine doctor and they don’t. They charge a lot and I learn more from you and Dr Hagmeyer on here then with them. I have lupus , but my gut has been bad forever and now worse which I believe it’s the Constipation sibo and inflammatory bowel disease. My inflammation is bad. I did a stool test. That’s about all they did for me. But I have treated natural my whole life and always healed but this way more and weightloss my body is literally starving to death and I’m 90 pounds at 5.7 and skin and bones but my gut is out a foot like a pregnant woman and then I got edema in both legs that were ten times bigger then mine. I could not believe it. The pain is so bad all over and I can’t believe how hard it is in California to find a doctor who heals the gut like you. I don’t know if I should just call your office. I’m doing a documentary on this and I want to live to finish it and have my happy ending after all of this. I’m almost completely disabled now because of the edema and the vascular doctor says it’s because I’m protein deficiency. Please refer someone here ? Please Dr Mark. I have a sick dog too and my fiancé died 2 years ago of Lukemia and he was only 35. We all 3 had years of mold and toxic exposure which in the end there was a fire. I just want someone here to tell me what to do. I know I have to be disciplined with treatments because I know the body can heal but when your this sick and desperate to live and save your dog too, I don’t have family or people to help me close. But these doctors have taken advantage of my desperate situation and I pay all this money and I don’t even have a plan. So I need a referral of someone here in Irvine calif or OC that you stand behind who they are. Thank you and God Bless
I went carnivore because lettuce was killing me! I was having trouble with so many vegetables and fruits that I just decided it might be easier to just go carnivore. And it was! And my body has been so much happier! Both physically and mentally!!

Not at all possible to "fix" everything that's causing your stress! Have to learn to process, adapt and deal with it. Lower cortisol!!

You’ve got it even worse than I do. I REALLY feel for you because it’s been a life altering nightmare for years. Whatever you do, don’t let that acid come up your esophagus. Sleep sitting up if you have to. Don’t bend over after a meal. Don’t eat foods that require an acid onslaught in your stomach. I’m going to try what the doctor here recommends.
I have been battling ibs stress for years ugh 😢😮
i had 2 stool tests done from to different clinics both found nothing , 1 tissue biopsy because i had 2 small ulcers and that test was good .so for me ibs started out as acid reflux but then over time i got mild cnstipation , brain fog and thyroid issues and still no doctor ive seen can tell me WTH is going on
It’s been 3 months since your comment. How are you doing now?

is there a diet for ulcerative colitis 64 yr old male.
I have had c diff twice and have taken vancomycin to get rid of it. I thought I had IBS now, but stool test says C diff. They gave me ceftin and I think that gave to me again. Im getting so so sick. What do you tell your patients with this dilemma. The vancomycin makes me so sick.
I've kind of disregarded you for a while because you're a little too plant-based and seemed to not think highly of red meat, that said, I believe you have a lot of good information besides that. Keep up the good work. I will be watching., a lot of time say things like small amounts of red meat are OK. I'm kind of paraphrasing that, but I think you agree with what I'm saying. What's wrong with larger servings of red meat? I'd like to know your opinion and the reasons you think that way. Keep up the good work.
I wish you were my doctor
Really excellent information and great news for those who suffer from this. The best thing is no pills are needed.
I'm practically dying from this. I've changed my entire diet just from listening to your vids on utube. And sometimes my ibs is just out of control. I have no faith in traditional Doctors, I feel they are incompetent in so many ways. That sounds mean because it is. Why are our insurance companies paying these white coats who give no relief?
The insurance companies pay the white coats to prescribe drugs that the big pharma companies pay the insurance companies to cover. It's a huge cycle of corruption and conflicts of interests.
To benefit big pharmaceutical companies and politicians...it's a game of greed! So sad
What about recurrent SIBO? Is this related to a damage in the nervous system?
I'll tell you what causes SIBO relapse. Even if you use common sense, there only 2 ways for bacteria to enter your small intestines. 1. Through stomach, so if you have low stomach acid (due to antacids, stress, age, low salt diet, antibiotics, NSAIDs, etc.) the bacteria in food won't be killed in stomach and will keep entering your intestines causing SIBO relapse. Use Betaine HCL, ACV, Potassium, Salt and Niacin (B-3) to recover your stomach acid. 2. Ileocecal Valve Syndrome/dysfunction, you may have a chronically Stuck Open or Stuck Close Ileocecal Valve which can have due to a couple of reasons like Stress, caffeine, diet, food allergies, food sensitivities, and SIBO. In case of SIBO, more often than not, its stuck open, allowing bacteria from large intestines to regurgitate back into small intestines causing all sort of problems. You might wanna look into taking good amounts of Chlorophyll on empty stomach to help the valve function better in case you have Stuck open valve. You will also need to eliminate a whole list of food temporarily and add digestive enzymes for better/complete digestion to prevent this valve dysfunction. I recommend carnivore diet for 2 months while you address all these issues. Last but not least, you want prokinetics to keep things moving in your intestines. Use Ginger tea, Iberogast and Bile Salts on empty stomach for this. If you do not address these issues first, killing SIBO would not help as the relapse will keep occurring. Hope this helps.
@@ubaidullahakhtar9727 Nice explanation.I had a small bowel resection and dont have illeocecal valve anymore.What would you do in my shoes,what would you eat,what would you avoid.I tried raw goat milk but get bloated and lots of gas.Thank you.

I live in Colorado. The doctors here are not great. Do you offer remote treatment?
Listening to this great doctor I realize that we are going to doctors that are too mediocre. I have been suffering from this problem for years, it is very difficult to feel like this on a daily basis. I have asked two different doctors for something as simple as a stool analysis and in both cases they have refused, saying that it is something that is not necessary. They have never done a study on me for anything, they have preferred to do endoscopies and colonoscopies than a simple stool examination. In a single video I was able to confirm my suspicions, they are a joke. Thank you, doctor Hyman!
When they refuse tell them you’d like it put in your chart that you asked for such and such test and that they refused. They will change their tune so quick! Sorry they are not doing what you ask

Can IBS cause urinary infection, interstitial cystitis, prostatitis?
I would like to know as well. I likely have IBS.
Tip: Cranberry juice does wonders for urinary infection(and lots more).

You have my sub good doctor! It pains that i have to go to the internet to get an actual treatment and noy just be put on symptom suppressing pills. God bless you!
Dr Mark, do you have a list of Functional medicine doctors in the US? I'm having a problem finding one in my city/town. thanks.
Check out Functional Doctors online wherever you live.
Cleveland Clinic that I go to and they are great! I am just SO blessed to have them!

@5:48 why do you recommend people "get off" of eggs? I thought you promoted them??
I think he means temporarily for elimination diet as eggs are a common food people struggle to digest but you can often reintroduce them once healed leaky gut.
He's referring to people with IBS.
They can be inflammatory in some people.
@@LK-tp2le What is it specifically about eggs that can make them troublesome for some people?
@@cyclist5000 some people lack sufficient enzymes to digest the proteins in eggs and some people are allergic to certain proteins in eggs

Hopefully these comments actually mean something.. I have acid reflux in a bad way, I feel everything mentioned I follow and just tried giving up coffee, which I really didn't have much of any way but no help. What is weird, is I heard he DR. mention bacteria... I have had toenail issues lately (both my big toes under the nailbeds just turn to powder and nothing is working for treatment. I just wonder if these are signs of something or have something to do with the reflux.
Go to a podiatrist re ur nail concerns.
I have been deteriorating badly in the last 6 months, since I had a severe dry cough. Nothing that has helped previously is having any effect and I've been to hospital numerous times, my Functional Medicine Doctor and Gastroenterologist have both given up. They have no idea what is happening. I've had Faecal Transplants previously and they have helped, but in the last 6 months they have actually made it worse. In the last 2 months it has actually spread up into my mouth and throat. It started with what seemed like a slimey biofilm. Perhaps from candida, as I'd had oral thrush. Then a fizzy type gas started building up on the whole surface of my mouth, which felt like my skin inside my mouth and throat were fermenting. This has gradually spread and has has now broken down the whole lining of my mouth and throat, to the point where it is literally just a porous spongy tissue left. The lining is completely broken down. I feels the same all the way through my whole digestive tract. Doctors are just assuming that I am crazy when I explain this. But, it is unfortunately, all too real. I just got a stool test back. My bifido bacteria were a bit low, butyrate was also a bit low. But, Calprotecton was 117 and funnily enough, my akkermansia muciniphila was the highest level possible. Which is supposed to be good for the digestive lining. But, anyway, I am at a point of complete despair. Doctors are just passing me onto another doctor or suggesting mental illness. No idea what to do next.
Go to a skin specialist immed. Or to an ENT dr. Now.
I'm on state assistance. I was diagnosed with h pylori by a student doctor who was about to graduate. During our third visit, my primary physician literally bitched him out for testing me. She refuses to retest me and continue a treatment plan. What should I do?

It would be helpful if you would try to not do little laughs throughout your presentation. Sometimes it makes the words hard to hear. You give really good helpful information!
No you actually need to grown up and focus, listen pass the laughs to the real info he's providing, he's clearly not laughing at anyone.

Can IBS form without the crappy diet? Mine came out of nowhere it seems and I have eaten a pretty healthy diet most of my life. Suddenly I couldn’t tolerate many vegetables anymore and even steak. It is hard for me to have a healthy diet when my body turned on me. Any advice on where to start healing my gut??
You might want to look up Dr. McDougall and his elimination diet. Which is basically rice, potatoes (white and sweet), and cooked vegetables. Wish you the best success!❤️
Hello, have you found any relief?
My colleague is getting treated by Planet Ayurveda for his IBS, which is getting better with each passing day and he's hopeful that he'll get rid of it
So unhelpful basically he named all these tests THEY do, i cant do these tests unless i pay you alot of money out of pocket.
What do you think of taking coconut oil capsules for the gut?
Eating a spoonful of coconut oil daily will help you speed up your metabolism, making it easier for your body to burn fat and eventually lose weight
Just be careful MCT oil can cause diarrhea in some.
Very good DM
Can you please refer someone in Orange County calif ? I have spent thousands on say they are like you and Funcional medicine doctor and they don’t. They charge a lot and I learn more from you and Dr Hagmeyer on here then with them. I have lupus , but my gut has been bad forever and now worse which I believe it’s the Constipation sibo and inflammatory bowel disease. My inflammation is bad. I did a stool test. That’s about all they did for me. But I have treated natural my whole life and always healed but this way more and weightloss my body is literally starving to death and I’m 90 pounds at 5.7 and skin and bones but my gut is out a foot like a pregnant woman and then I got edema in both legs that were ten times bigger then mine. I could not believe it. The pain is so bad all over and I can’t believe how hard it is in California to find a doctor who heals the gut like you. I don’t know if I should just call your office. I’m doing a documentary on this and I want to live to finish it and have my happy ending after all of this. I’m almost completely disabled now because of the edema and the vascular doctor says it’s because I’m protein deficiency. Please refer someone here ? Please Dr Mark. I have a sick dog too and my fiancé died 2 years ago of Lukemia and he was only 35. We all 3 had years of mold and toxic exposure which in the end there was a fire.
I just want someone here to tell me what to do. I know I have to be disciplined with treatments because I know the body can heal but when your this sick and desperate to live and save your dog too, I don’t have family or people to help me close. But these doctors have taken advantage of my desperate situation and I pay all this money and I don’t even have a plan. So I need a referral of someone here in Irvine calif or OC that you stand behind who they are. Thank you and God Bless
Can't find a good one in LA county either. What kind of diet, if any, do you follow?
What was the Gutfood you created?
All I eat is crackers and salads and I’m still sick daily but I’ll never eat again because I need to make it through work day
Try Carnivore diet
I went carnivore because lettuce was killing me! I was having trouble with so many vegetables and fruits that I just decided it might be easier to just go carnivore. And it was! And my body has been so much happier! Both physically and mentally!!
I got mine from two heavy antibiotic doses back to back followed by yogurt with no live cultures.
Did it work?
IBS or SIBO? 80% of patients with IBS were diagnosed with SIBO.
