I am so sick of all the doctors giving their "expertise" on this topic and arguing with each other. When is the professional unprofessional? If they all differ so much? What are people to do or believe, you all want to sell a product. This is enough to make people crazy, STRESSED and much worse!
And yet, you continue to watch for some reason.
Follow Dr Gundry’s diet and continue eliminating foods until your inflammation slows down
@@BringItOn31124 stay bloated, its good for you?...this lacks common sense
Yeah "science" is mostly biased and made up bullcrap. You really have to do your own research, test trials, and connect the dots yourself. 😂
100% agree
Sir, it's important to clarify that feeling bloated and uncomfortable is your body's way of indicating that something is wrong, not a signal that it's protecting you from dementia. When you experience bloating, it often means that bacteria or their byproducts have slowed or temporarily halted peristalsis, preventing the normal passage of gas. This condition is not healthy and may suggest an imbalance of bacteria in the small bowel-either an excess or the wrong types.
I wish ALL you "doctors" would get on the same dang page!!!!😡
Keep everyone confused(bait)good for business cha ching
Dr Gundry, I respectfully disagree with you on some points. I was given IBS (or sibo, nobody knows) from excessive (typical) antibiotics that can be absorbed into the blood, and the only thing that has helped my pain (besides heat, peppermint capsules, and low fodmap) was Rifaxamin. Rifaxamin is an atypical antibiotic and it really has helped my pain. It has been tested by some of the top researchers in this area like Mark Pimentel. I’m not saying it works for everyone, but it worked really well for me.
My insurance company refuses to cover this medication 😡
There's no doubt that in certain situations antibiotics are needed to help with this condition as it can lead to malabsorbsion which over time really screws you over. Follow your doctors advice first then if antibiotics don't resolve the issue seek alternative treatments....
I bet your symptoms returned weeks to months after discontinuation
Get to the point...good grief.
Right ?!
He Blows harder than someone with acute SIBO.
I love Dr. Gundry. However, anecdotally-speaking, I had an overgrowth of gram-negative bacteria migrate in high numbers up into my small intestine & as a result of translocation & dysbiosis, the methane & hydrogen sulfide gas blew a hole thru the lining of my gut. We confirmed this thru low secratory IgA, blood zonulin levels elevated, my toll-like receptors activated 24/7 due to the inflammatory response, as well as having endotoxemia as a result of the gut barrier being permeable.
What I’m hoping Dr. Gundry is insinuating is that the microbiome needs to be in balance. And the good bugs that produce short-chain fatty acids like Butyrate, acetate, & propionate need to be in the large intestine in the right ratios so that digestion is optimized & leaky gut/metabolic endotoxemia is prevented.
Gasses produced by microbes in the gut in the wrong areas can be & is problematic.
What was your treatment protocol if I might ask?
Nice now if could share what treatment you used pls/thx
I was on your nutrition protocol for about a year and it was on your protocol that I developed SIBO, which I didn’t have before
Don't listen to him, go carnivore my friend
@@hiphopaneerI've done carnivore and keto many times to cut weight, but I think it's unrealistic long-term but definitely helps short term.
@@hiphopaneerCarnivore is dangerous long term and is horrific for many ethnic groups.
@@masteraus66Definitely not even save long term. No one single type of food is good or safe long term. That will mess up your gut microbiome and bacteria too.
Talking like a person who never had sibo. when I get bloated, I wake up depressed, brain fog with cravings and waking up several times per night. I have no idea how it feels to be an alcoholic but this feels very similar.
Try Atrantil. My waking up many times at night turned out to be severe reflux from h pylori
Cruciferous veggies can cause lots of bloating. I didn't want to cut them out, so I eat a third of a serving at each meal, rather than a whole serving at one meal. Also chewing very slowly and thouroughly and walking after meals helps.
I was diagnosed with SIBO over 1 year ago. I'm so glad that I didn't start the antibiotic my doctor had recommended.
ماذا فعلت
@monaalshahrani-dg1el if you have chronic diarrhea, oil of wild oregano will help.
What are you doing to treat Sibo?
Yeah antibiotics commonly cause these issues and many others. Antibiotics wipe out EVERYTHING and it isn't good for someone who's already super sick. Definitely not long term, but none of these synthetic drugs are safe long term.
Dr Gundry, I truly love how clearly u speak. When I hear u, I can not take my eyes off u (yes ur handsome too) but I can clearly understand every words u say. Therefore, my retention level of ur content is off the charts!!!
Blessings & best of healthy to u & sweet Penny.✨♥️🎁♥️✨
Sorry but no, low acid doesn't work as an excuse for everyone. Certain D lactic acid strains prefer acid environments which is why we are seeing D lactic acidosis in sibo, small bowel, and even in cases with none of the typical explanations. People are getting sibo that won't test positive on breath tests but when physicians are ordering d lactate and ammonia tests these patients absolutely have sibo. Humans don't make D lactic acid by the way (only bacteria in the gut) so its a tell tale sign but its rarely tested and only one lab in the entire country tests for this so even educated specialists have to send it off. Then there are cases where Bactrim and Doxycycline are causing this dysbiosis to happen in the first place. Thats just 2 antibiotics we know of. Oh and don't forget the patients actually getting this from OTC probiotics. Those lacto strains are overpopulating their gut and again, flooding the patient with D lactate.
Thank you Sir for your *boldness* to address the gut microbiome.
It‘s still unknown to many people today that some kind of lacto-fermentation like with sauerkraut happen during digestion. Please keep in mind that it still makes many people *afraid* when they hear that they have bacteria in their belly and that it is a good thing 😊.
About 100 years ago the existence of bacteria was still very new and mostly famous for causing disease! About 1930 antibiotics became famous by the first publications. Wonderful discovery. But unfortunately antibiotics kill many bacteria, unlike our immune system, which has the ability to adapt, learn and specialize!
To sum it up:
Identify lectin rich foods in our diet and other toxins.
Help the gut wall regenerate.
Eat foods which create a better gut microbiome.
Correct the immune system and repair the damage.
I am looking forward to the new book ‘Gut Check’ for the last part. 🙏🎈☺️
What arrogance !
Berberine?
I do believe my doctor diagnosed me correctly with SIBO. After treatment, I felt better than I had in over fifteen years and my stomach protruding like I was 9 months went away in one week as did most of my diarrhea and joint pains and severe rectal itching. I don’t care what one might call it, I am just glad to be better!😅. I had been diagnosed with celiac about five years prior to this issue so gluten was not an issue because I avoid it like poison.
What was your treatment please? Namaste 🙏
@@tumbleweeduk7479 Xifaxan plus probiotics that contained Lactobacillus reuteri. I did a low FODMAP myself, which the doctor had not mentioned but I noticed some foods were triggering, such as lettuce. I ate one ingredient items like a meat or cooked vegetable. The Xifaxan was taken for one week, two tablets a day twelve hours apart. The probiotics tablet was taken every day for three months and now every other day for one month, then every three days for…guess to be determined at next appointment.
كيف تم الشفاء
What did your Dr prescribe that worked?
@@dwainszewczyk2469 Xifaxan and probiotics.
I eliminated bloating when I stopped consuming anything with gluten.
Same lol
😮. i try to do so
@@pohkhuiYou have to change in your mind first. Imagine having Salad and Vegetables and feeling refreshed like going for a holiday.
Because thats exactly how it feels like for me 👍😊
What about fiber
What's most important is that we are eating for two. Yourself and your gut microbiome. It is a symbiotic and host relationship. The more you eat things that help your gut buddies thrive the more in tune and receptive your body will be to maintain its proper functions. So bon appetit everyone.
Please pass the anchovies.
@@core3673 no anchovies, will sardines do?
@@cubannel12 if nothing else. Octopus if you want more brain power like Ken.
hmmmm something doesn't add up here. I became sick as a dog 5 months a go. Lost 12lb. couldn't eat, threw up all the time. Ate like a bird, because my portions couldn't be bigger than that. And after tons of testing the last desperate test was SIBO test, and it was positive. I was skeptical since we had false positives before, including a scary Volvulus (turned stomach) where they wanted to slice me up to fix it. The antibiotic phase for SIBO was a bitch. I will admit it. I just got off of it, but Lord hold and behold... I CAN EAT! (I can still only eat about 1/2 an adult portion but better then the size of 1 cup of food a day...divided into 5 tiny portions. I dont feel like someone is kicking me in the stomach. I still do have the nightly "throw up" feelings but Im told it will eventually go away. Since it is gone from "perpetually" to evenings only.
Soooo Dr. Gundry is full of useful general information, but is way off when it comes to clinical application. I believe that there are people who truly have SIBO, and people who are misdiagnosed Im sure. But to just throw everyone into one bag just because he has a theory he wishes to prove is not right. He is putting peoples lives at stake here. I would not wish on anyone, what I have endured for 5.5 months before they figured how to fix me. Any kind of diet (a specially the anti-inflammatory fodmap diet he recommends) would be useless for someone who practically doesn't eat ANYTHING at all. If, and that is a big if I could eat 1/2 4,5oz yogurt for brunch and 1/2 chicken wing with 3tbs of rice it was a good day. And then possibly throw up most of it. (Or not on a good day). Where do you insert the diet? And he wants to fix me with a diet? It got so bad that I would rather not eat so I could avoid the torture of it all. I would stare at my food for an hour trying to force my self to eat 1 more bite. It got to a point where I would cry at dinner time. It just about did my husband in. And Dr. Gundry wants to fix all this with food? He is in TOTAL denial. He has no idea the HELL SIBO truly is. If you have it, you need to see a GI a Gastro specialist and get antibiotics before you get to my point. Or have the specialist figure out what is wrong with you. I have a great respect for Dr Gundry but before you can get someone on a diet you need to first address the immediate problems with antibiotics. Then you need to look for underlying issues and start treating people with dietary changes.

Update
To answer questions I have been tested positive for both hydrogen & methane bacteria.
It has been 4 weeks and my symptoms are back. Not yet bad enough to have been as terrible as before, but bad enough. Even though I have incorporated prebiotic foods. Dr Williams Davis Yogurt, kefir, kimchi and a lot of fiber. I try to do FOODMAP too but it’s new to me yet. And still it’s with all these precautions this “thing” is back driving me crazy.
He also truly believes (11:15) that there are people with Sibo. Which type were you diagnosed with? Antibiotics will take the edge off of really bad symptoms but will never cure true Sibo and could possibly make things worse after you stop taking them.
I tested really high for both hydrogen and methane but was told it’s SIBO. I was treated with 10 days antibiotics. Felt better after for 3weeks. Now I’m slowly getting my symptoms back. Really don’t know what to do about it. My provider is not easy to communicate with. Hasn’t spoken with me since the antibiotics.
Ps. I really don’t eat eggs or bread anymore… and very little meat, as they upset my stomach. So… I know he acknowledges SIBO exists but he treats it with diet. How do you treat someone who already doesn’t eat these foods… has symptoms. And actually has difficulty eating any food at all?
@@sabasalih5514 Please remember that the reason for the overgrowth is slowed gut motility that can be caused by many things (beginning stage of Parkinson's disease, autoimmune response to food poisoning bacteria). Adding prebiotics and probiotics makes this condition worse. Eat low fodmap foods. Your focus must be on increasing gut motility anyway you can (magnesium,prokinetics, laxatives, herbs) and not on killing anything. You can't eat because you are probably so backed up from lack of gut motility. After some weeks of daily bowel movements you could start trying to add the other vegetables one at a time to see how they affect you. Hope this helps.
@@BringItOn31124This sounds like it may potentially work. If the motility complex isn't working right, then the bacteria will end up repopulating the small intestine regardless.
Also, though, something that may have helped would have been to wait before adding the prebiotics since they most likely are simply feeding the remnant bad bacteria in the small intestine which results in symptoms returning.
I beat my bloat. Low formal only worked while I was on it, carnivore only worked while I was on it (only did it for a month, scared to do it longer), gradually building up the fibre foods slowly after carnivore didn't work. Megasporbiotic worked. Probiotics regulated things and eased some of the pain, but the megasporbiotic took the bloat away. After trying every diet.
Amazing facts about sibo.
Could please explain about SIFO
Oh yeah!!!! Can’t wait for this new book!!!! Wooo- hooo!!!👏♥️👏
So can you do more videos on this bc I have insane severe gas and bloating, makes me want to kms every single day, but you’re saying it’s normal. I need more explanation
🙏💜🙏💜🙏
The only thing that has helpped me is ginger
Yes, I did herbal antibiotics and can now only eat 5 foods, not tolerating smells, parfume, creams, toothpaste, etc anymore. Had some upper abdomen pain before but nothing like this. Ate lot of fiber and lived my life fine. Wished I had seen this before.
I totally know what you're going through. They tell me I have SIBO but when I did the breath test the numbers stayed relatively the same but yet they want me to take xifaxan to treat it. I can only eat about 5 foods also and none are good for you except hard boiled eggs. Can't do dairy. I have such debilitating abdominal pain and nausea. Endoscopy and colonoscopy came back good. I don't know what to think of the medical system anymore. Don't have much faith or trust in them. I think they'd rather see people dead than have to deal with them. You take care of yourself. I pray things get better for you. God bless you, my friend.🌹🤗
Amazing update !!! I've stopped taking any antibiotics after I learned this post having H-Pylori 2012
Ah, what will you do when you have sepsis?
OMG, I'm so relieved. *_THANK YOU, DR. GUNDRY!_* I was _sure_ my bloating was due to SIBO with all the hype I fell for. In fact I'm 45 hours into a soft dry fast right now to try to heal my SIBO...which I don't have. Sigh. Oh, well, there are benefits anyway, but man this is extreme.
What are your symptoms and how did you cure yourself?
@@eastcoastsnow The first thing I had to deal with urgently was an increasing asthmatic response to histamine that got so bad that _anything_ I ate triggered an asthma response because histamine is involved in the production of stomach acid.
To heal that I started fasting (for obvious reasons) and in about 5-6 months I healed my gut enough to heal that auto-immune disorder. Of course, along with the fasting I ate really clean (omnivorously but without lectins).
Then I was dealing with constant bloating that was like I was about to give birth (not the normal bloating everyone experiences). I dealt successfully with that by learning and incorporating Ayurvedic principles which are too in-depth to cover here. The main things that helped were "Ayurvedic food combining" because it urges you to eat only foods that digest at the _same rate_ at the same time. And, eating for my specific digestive constitution (there are a million "dosha" tests online).
@@eastcoastsnow My long response disappeared. Here's the short and sweet version. Healed a histamine asthma auto-immune problem by fasting (intermittent and prolonged) and eating super clean, lectin-free, omnivorous diet in about 5-6 months. Healed my bloating (that was beyond normal digestion) with Ayurvedic principles of food combining and eating to balance my dosha. You can look those up. Hoping this posts.
@@allhimwithme5115 hey thank you so much for sharing! I’ve have severe gas and bloating with no other issues for like 4+ yrs. Tried strict carnivore for like 4-5month, tried the low fod map, tried a few antibiotics, but still have not had a single day of relief. Breath tests say I got an overgrowth but now I’m just more confused as ever. I’ll look into what you said about bloating and see but it’s so unfortunate that no one can figure out the gut. But thanks so much for your response!
@astsnow You're so welcome! Glad it posted. Look up "food combining Ayurveda" and you'll get a great start. I know how frustrating it is, but follow _your heart_ and it gets easier. Best to you!!!!! P.S. And I like Chopra dot you know what for the dosha test and other guidance. Hoping this posts, too, LOL.
Interesting perspective. I have no ileocaecal valve, no ascending colon, & no terminal ileum (secondary to a late diagnosed intussusception). For years post surgery I had severe diarrhoea for a few days every 2-3 wks, which gradually turned into chronic constipation, which has been my norm for years now. I have been offered antibiotics, but refused them. My feeling is they might help for an extremely short time, but given there is no trap door separating my large & small bowel, the effect would be very short lived. Plus I'd mess up the microbiome of the large bowel in the process, which would probably cause other unwanted issues.
Hey they might offer you antibiotics because they don’t have anything else to propose.
Please stay away from them!
The subject ist *very* individual, more than diet books can propose how to eat/cook.
Some Differences are:
Nr. 1 Different Genes
Nr. 2 Different Immune Reactions/current disease
Nr. 3 Different Vitamin and Mineral Levels in the Body
Nr. 4 Different Lifestyles / Work Shifts / Menstrual Cycle Phase / Nursing a baby / many more
Nr. 5 Different Available Food Sources and Quality
Nr. 6 Different Economical Circumstances
Nr. 7 Diet according to Faith
Sources:
Dr. Gundry: Plant Paradox
Dr. Lustig: Metabolical
The best results I had when feeding the gut microbiome *more* of what they like (salad/veggies.) After I had antibiotics in a clinic a quality probiotic/mineral/vitamin AllInOne supplement mix seemed to fix the loose stool faster.
I think you need a bit of everything if you come from a dark place.
But later you could overdose certain substances by mixing different supplements like synthetic B6 Pyridoxin-HydroChloride for example.
Hope this infos benefit you 🙏
🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
You need to fast and get your body cleaned up. Try intermittent fasting or 3 day water fast
Th Bacteria might be essential, as you say. But is this the case in the small bowel as well? Also if you say, thy produce gases that can make people feel uncomfortable, isnt that something to consider not healthy?
THUMBS UP right at the 1:00 mark 👍
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
This is why Dr. Gundry is so on the money, with everything he discusses.
Which part of the video made that conclusion for you? I get it, that you found a solution for Your problems, I have no doubt that EM-F and -R are major disruptors. But you think that's the solution for everything? You can eat whatever, but be aware of the magnetic fields? Don't you think both can be true? How is suggesting a diet causes money hunger? I just don't get it.
Also, let's imagine that both helps (they do), what you think what would people choose first? In simple terms: Gundry telling them what to eat and what to avoid (food, not supplements), OR You telling them to buy a "box" for 2.000 dollars, and then they might be safe around that box for a few years? I know it's not that simple, and both helps, but I think you get my pont. It's like someone agrees with physics, but completely ignoring biologics or chemics.
I have been following Gundry for years. Yes, I use Alan Maher's tech for radiation conversion. I use Energy Bits. I stopped eating lectins (prepared correctly). Low sugar, Lucini Organic premium select Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a staple. Etc! And my rate of aging results are .68 per year. So, that is money!!! NO MEAT! Forgot to mention that. That is crucial, otherwise it's inflammation-ville. Neu5gc is bad news. @@rastakillah3786
Can you do a deep dive on H2 water/
I was told i have H Pylori after the breath test. I have boating issues and stomach-aches after each meal. My first round of antibiotics failed. I don't want to continue taking level 2 (4 different antibiotics )cos its got side affects. But the doc said H pylori will cause CANCER if left untreated. PLEASE HELP🙏
Antibiotics also failed me. Carnivore diet for five weeks solved all my issues.
Fast
@mikeholmes7828 you serious? How so? Carnivore diet doesn't kill H pylori. Is it just that negative symptoms went away?
@@user-rd8yv4kj9x fasting doesn't help, it makes the acid worse.
Carnivore most likely does not heal the problem. If anything, it simply alleviates the symptoms. Speaking anecdotally here. A Paleo diet helped keep symptoms at bay but the issue still remains until it is directly addressed.
Hello, my name is Margarita, doctor, I see you all the time on Facebook and TH-cam and I want to try your medicines but I have scleroderma that is a little bad. What can I take of your medicines that can help me? I have followed the diet you recommend
the best solution is to cut food from 6 pm and fast to next day and respect the biological clock
H. Pylori was detected in 1982 already.
SIBO findings are definitely an advance. Ask people who added bacteria products to their diet and found their symptoms got worse. You may rather ask: What took them so long?
@gutmicrobiomequeen what do you think of this?
What if i have hydrogen sulfide gas and my farts smell like rotten eggs?
Fatty liver? Choline vitamin
@@JR-uy3zo I don’t think i have fatty liver, i eat pretty healthy and i weigh 107
Dr gundry how do I get off my acid blockers?
please have dr Gregor on your show so that you can hash out your differences and find common ground...it would be enlightening to all
and if failing that ..at least do a show where you respond to the criticism
Thanks for the info
That's an interesting perspective as I have several patients receiving TPN mixtures on a 24 hour/ 7 days a week schedule because they have very little of their intestine left whether it be disease or a car accident etc. I have never had to address any gasses that they may have been missing (as of yet). I can't even find an article regarding the supplementation of hydrogen or any other gasses for my TPN patients (who don't eat).
I’m really interested in this gas supplementation idea as well because we have Alzheimer’s in our family. I’m doing some research and found these recent article that you may be interested in. Forgive the lengthy citations. TH-cam doesn’t allow links these days.

Since the small intestine is where food is supposed to be absorbed into our body, it stands to reason we don't want bacteria competing for the available nutrients. THerefore, I fail to see why there would be evolutionary selection for that which makes me think SIBO is a real disease. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one, Dr. Gundry.
Please listen again starting at 11:15. He also believes it's real.
This Dr is amazing who understands how human body works.
He is a cardiologist, not an expert in your guts.

You had to announce your departure.. lol 😂 Someone is looking for attention.. There.. you got it.. now scoot!!!

Because I think Dr. G does Social Media and TH-cam because he cares about what people think. He regularly answers some questions too, of course it’s just 1 doctor and millions if viewers 😮💨
yes I am looking for attention that's why my profile is private. I suffer terribly from sibo for a long time and if I would follow this advice (and ignore what all my GASTRO specialist doctors say) I would be committed in hospital already.@@alicegunn3970
