I had a lot of bloating and diarrhea all the time & the bloating got worse when i took high fructose fruits like grapes. Generally after eating anything i would run to the toilet, specially if milk. Every night i could hear my stomach growling. Now i am almost cured, after taking Glutamine powder and berberine for two months.
@@YodiJohsonna I think if people want to have milk or kefir they just need to try it out and see how their body reacts. Some people with this do fine on probiotics but when I take them I bloat up and have gas all day and it's not comfortable! Everyone's different
I am treating my sibo. Currently have 2 cups of my homemade kefir everyday. I ferment it long enough to remove max amount of lactose and i digest it pretty well. Its a must personally
I bought l glutamine but I've been apprehensive about using it because my gut is in such bad shape. Do you have any tips on how to get started with it?
@@sandp9853 I am taking 1-3g 30-60m before eating, I dissolved it in warm water. Some people take a lot more, but that seems te be helping me. After a couple of weeks I'm now adding some fermented vegetables and will later add Kombucha(for S. Boulardii) and Kefir, but I'm going to take my time. Of course during this time I recommend not eating anything that makes you react.

Lactobacillus Reuteri and Saccharomyces Boulardii can help with H. Pylori and Candida Albicans as well as help with SIBO. Consumer Labs has good info on probiotics supplements. Turnip Root and leaves as well as Black walnut are excellent for biofilms removal. Robert von sarbacher discussed biofilm removal on the Extreme Health Radio podcast available here on TH-cam.
Yes! These behaviors are key to great gut health and general health. They’re the foundation that supports everything else, like supplements, courses of treatment, etc. You’re spot on!
I bought a turmeric, ginger bromelain supplement for inflammation for IBS. 3 days in, I have insane cysts of acne or bumps on my neck, chin and on the sides of my face. I think i react to bromelain or rhis other herb in there. It also smelled awful in the bottle..
Very informative! Thank you very much for this. Can you also do a video on how SSRI or other medications increase or decrease the good and bad bacteria?
Dr. Michael thank you for sharing am watching all the way from Papua new Guinea and I need more advice from you and I also need more recipes and videos and more information from you because I have problem in my gut .

We offer both an elemental formula and a semi-elemental formula in our Elemental Heal. This link covers and explains all the varieties: drruscio.com/EH/
I took this A.D.P supplement that contained oregano oil whatever the heck that is I don’t know haha. I never knew what it was like having a normal feeling gut.
I have lot of bloating and growling sound in my gut all the time and more after i take food. Because of this i do not get proper sleep. Is there any supplement to heal my problem. Please reply. Thank you
Hello,I tested positive for hpylori and blastocyst hominis in stool test, whenever I eat something bad like deep fried foods or sugar any type or dairy ,gluten or wheat or spicy foods,I get a lot of headaches, feeling of wanting to vomit 😢until that food is out of my system,😢...if not that one,then I get constipated alot on the right side of the abdomen..like it's not comfortable at all but not painful...it started in 2019,now I can only eat lean meat, cabbage, broccoli, spinach,all of these shouldn't be cooked with tomatoes or I can get really sick (headaches on the left especially),the symptoms usually kicks in after like 2 to 3hrs of eating that bad food 😢... and I'm someone who used to eat everything and wasn't allergic to anything before 2019, please help, i'm suffering, doctors think it's all in my head which hurts me even more😢
@@DrRuscioDC they gave me the second line and it worked for a like a week,I then went back to eating normally,then it came back,now ever since I have become resistant to hpylori drugs, i'm even afraid of antibiotics now because it triggers my yeast infection
@@marshallzink7282 Avoid AntiBiotics for HPilori overtime it’s getting worse it killed the bad bacteria’s however also removed the good bacteria . Try Zinc Supplement Zinc carsinosine ! Prayer for healing and change your diet as well no spice food, avoid fries food, eat little amount per meal, last meal around 5-6 pm to help decrease your acidity level at night . No sofa drink. Fasting always good result . Celerie juice are good for HPilory as well. No dairy milk product it cause heavy bloating and acidity.
Im still skeptical about using prebiotics. I've heard a lot of Natural health doctors advise against taking prebiotics with probiotics. If you already have a gut overgrowth, won't the prebiotics make it worse?
It depends. Prebiotics are generally trickier for people with SIBO and similar conditions - in addition to the concern you bring up, prebiotic fiber sources, for example, might flare IBS/IBD/etc. Probiotics, on the other hand, are generally pretty safe and might even help reduce overgrowth.
There’s a chart that shows the suggested probiotic intake but I’m not sure if the suggestion is for that much of each (Lactose/bifido blend; saccharomycis boulardii; soil-based) or only that much of one of those?
Is there any contra indication for probiotics in people with sibo? Could prebiotic lead to more overgrowth? Looking forward to your response. Kind regards Reimara
Hi Reimara! While it may be possible for pre and probiotics to contribute to overgrowth, it’s generally unlikely and, more often, the opposite. Probiotics in particular can actually help make SIBO treatment more effective by crowding out bad bacteria (and in some cases destroying them), and helping you recolonize with the good guys. It all depends on the individual - what works for some won’t work for others - but definitely worth a try if you haven’t yet
@DrRuscioDC dear Dr. Ruscio. thanks so much for your reply. I often listen to your podcasts and I learn a lot from your explanations. these are helping me in the sibo pro course by Dr. Siebecker that I am currently enrolled in. kind regards, Reimara
It may not always be the root cause, but it’s usually a contributing factor or another way to address the issue since it’s so intertwined with digestion
Hi I bought your elemental heal powder. Does it have a lot of sugar in it. After just drinking 1/2. Glass I got that geographic tongue thing going on. I have candida in the gut. Should I stop taking it? Thanks do you take a probiotic too
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that. It’s okay to discontinue if you need to. If you want to do an elemental diet, however, it may make sense to continue while taking an antifungal medication or supplement. Probiotics can be helpful too, particularly lacto/bifido strains and s. boulardii for disrupting yeast growth
I just checked the ingredients of Elemental Heal... Maltodextrine!!! If there is one thing that i avoid, then it's maltodextrine. This harms the gutflora huge.
Hi there! I understand your concern. It’s a very common ingredient in elemental diet formulas, however - in order to work as intended, they need to be extremely digestible. You’ll find ingredients like maltodextrin and dextrose in most commercially available therapeutic formulas. It’s helpful to think of an elemental diet as containing the “elements” of food, broken down to help digestive issues like malabsorption - hence using amino acids vs complete proteins too. Hope this is helpful and allays some concern
@@DrRuscioDC That i know that it’s found in most of the supplements. That’s why i search for the one that doesn’t have these compounds in it. If you wanna restore your gutflora, do it right and avoid these ingredients imo
Did you say you suggested some testing ? I am suffering horribly with gut issues and I did reach out once but I thought she said no testing . I’m too sick to walk into this blindly .
@@DrRuscioDC your office , I’m pharma injured from benzodiazepines and antidepressants , but now I have horrible gut issues , horrible brain fog . Been off medications for almost 8 years and all this does is get worse. I had contacted your office and did speak with an intake person and your office woman. As I understand was you don’t do testing and idk if mold is playing into this …..I do have a functional Md but I’m so sensitive and you really pay attention to the gut , I have horrific histamine issues now …..so discouraging

Your symptoms?

Do you recommend the elemental diet to treat SIBO or after treatment with antibiotics
Interesting video! What about taking the fungus Shiitake in extract? It is described to be very helpful for gut microbiota
Timestamps would be so helpful in your videos description! 🙏🏼
Good suggestion! I’ll pass that along to the team
Probiotics is not for SIBO and they are high in histamine I believe.

It may not always be the root cause, but it’s usually a contributing factor or another way to address the issue since it’s so intertwined with digestion
@@DrRuscioDC Exactly. So its always a good idea to take high doses of B1 (TTFD preferably) when experiencing these issues.

Eat turmeric, main ingredient is curcumin

Curcumin is found more in turmeric - a spice
