      I have to chew my food "per " bite 50 times and slowly .
      I have GERD, i did have erosion esophagus ( *I have a test every 6 months to keep an eye on it )

      Once I took a drink, I burped the same time, I was drinking the water, waited 15 minutes and nothing else happened.
      Does that mean I have Low stomach Acid???
      I have one more question, this will sound strange to you , I smell Sulfur coming out of my body, I have been to GI doctor, dentist, and including the "ER",
      and the hospital "ER" didn't know what was causing it. That doctor at the hospital mentioned for me to go to the Dentist and ENT.
      Have you ever heard of that before??? My own spouse, he can't even smell it , while sitting next to me. I have Never had this before and it's hard.

      There are lots of barriers to entry for carnovore diets that a skilled clinician can guide people through. I would see an experienced clinician before pinning all these responses on the carnivore diet, and also there are many versions of it that can be modified to fit each person's needs.

    This is a great video covering the A to Z about digestive enzymes with respect to different diets! It's added to my recommended playlist and being sent to my subscribers! In Ayurveda (from Ancient India), sipping warm to hot water during meals stimulates and maintains healthy "Agni" (digestive fire), which is the root of all health. Of course, moist versus dry foods and cold/raw versus warm/cooked foods depend on the Ayurvedic body type (dosha constitution) of the individual. I loved your mention of the Chinese Medicine approach, also a fascinating health system.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The labels are vague on purpose to appease the FDA. Generally with enzymes and digestive herbs I start with a micro dose if the patient is sensitive, see what they tolerate, and then increase the dose with meals over days until I reach a max effective dose. ITs an experiment for each person. Enzymes can be taken beyond the max label, after all they are food anyway. some people get a burning feeling with lots of Bromelain and have to stop.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      As long as we get the pill casing or capsule casing to dissolve-if you dump out the capsule ingredients it works faster. We want the enzymes to mix with the food ASAP, so its all about the capsule or tablet dissolving in time. Enzymes require correct pH to work, so we want to get it right.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I don't know about your specific situation but luckily generally most adults are considered to have so much space available in the tubes (ducts) of the liver and pancreas separate from the gallbladder that we can store nearly as much there as we can in a gallbladder. The loss of the gallbladder should not preclude a person from good digestion by itself, but if we don't fix the cause of why it was removed, the digestion may suffer until we figure it out and rebalance the bile. In my experience most gallbladder removal patients who truly corrected their diets had no problems without a gallbladder. That often means bucking the severely outdated US dietary guidelines, however.

    I've noticed that a wee pinch of salt in tap water causes the water cells to plump. That's outgoing and absorbing. It has a slippery feel to it. What do you think? Would that help this mouth dryness? I just quit smoking because it dried me so bad, plus, it offset my breathing and I couldn't trainnmy breaths to stay normal. I'm about past that. You'll save twice as much.
    Anyhow, the dryness. It makes people angry or depressed or quick to snap. It hurts.
    What pills might help? Do 'Fitumins' work as enzymes? Which ones if so, for saliva dryness? I have no bile. I had the surgery as a young adult.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  ปีที่แล้ว

      Salt increases surface tension of water, this may explain what you observed. Also, smoking drains zinc and other minerals from the body, and this loss of electrolyte balance can be subtle and dehydrating. Do you mean vitamins? I don't know what fitumins are. A trace mineral formula can help with dryness, as can vitamin A and saturated fats over time. If one has surgery to remove the gallbladder, the pancreas and liver are always still there or you are dead, and they continue to produce bile, and store it n the ductwork of the organs-less efficient, but quite adequate. If bile is insufficient, it usually can be reversed. Lectins inhibit bile production in some people.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Generally yes, but sometimes its the lectins in vegetables that continue to cause problems. since lectins are proteins, the digestive enzymes help control symptoms but the real long term solution is to reduce these foods if they drive symptoms or cook them out with a pressure cooker, which does not always work, or take binders like Dr. Gundry talks about that are supplements that bind to some portion of the lectins and carry them out of the stool.
      In still other cases, the person has an insufficient bile or chronic pancreas insufficiency and this can require long term enzyme use with smaller meals for a long time. Some people cannot tolerate high sulfur foods despite their benefits, due to SNPs in the sulfur pathways.

    Hello, I have recently become vegan, and I am eating mainly legumes, fruit, vegetables, and whole grain bread. Since I started, I have been getting a lot of gas and bloating, not just after I eat, but all day. I have been taking a lot of Gas X, sometimes it helps a little, but it's not supposed to be used long term I assume. I am trying the low FOBMAT diet, and I am not yet sure whether it's working. The low FOBMAT diet doesn't seem too
    sustainable because you are missing out on a lot of nutrients that you need from fruits, vegetables and legumes and for vegans legumes are the best source of protein. I assume that I am having trouble with all the fiber. I have wanted to try BEANO which I believe is a digestive enzyme, but I also know that there are others brands that might be of a higher quality.

      You know, sometimes herbal and other natural preparations are super effective but when they are not, I have seen 3 main reasons. One is chronic heavy metal exposure and retention which just fuels bad bacteria, fungi and even cancer cells. Two, poor gut motility from a brain injury concussion, and three, too much carbs ratio to fats and protein (usually grains and nut flours in otherwise healthy eaters). Look for a reason if you can win the battle against bad organisms. Ultimately we have to find a way to starve them (the bad flora) while keeping the person alive and thriving.

      I see you are on keto from your other message. I cannot tell you for sure, but generally I see this a lot-where people need to support their bile function when on low carb or keto or carnivore diets. I did too for myself. It took me a few weeks to make my bile stronger and I used enzymes, ox bile, zinc lozenges for stomach acid, lecithin, and magnesium, and some L-carnitine and L-taurine to support my bile. Some people have a chronic heavy metal burden that complicates this through toxic bile recycling. Now It is much easier to digest saturated fats and more meats. I had to reduce grains and dairy too, although many are fine with organic dairy. (As a chef, don't get me started about access to raw dairy and other raw foods!-that's another topic)

I am not sold on the idea of vaccines for parasites at this time. Wormwood has been used around the tropics for some time and increasing bodily resistance through diet and hygienic water supply can help. Wormwood can be toxic too, so we must be careful. The liver and the bladder can fail with this disease, so whatever is tried-testing is required as these worms live a long time.

      I think that an animal based diet will not need digestive enzyme supplements in about 3 weeks-unless they have abnormal liver or pancreas enzymes, gallstones, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, or chronic pancreatitis (does not show up in bloodwork-sometimes shows fecal chymotrypsin). when my patients and I eat a mostly plant based diet, we need enzyme supplements frequently but not continuously.

    What about the issue with the lack of enteric coating on the supplements? Will the pills survive the journey through the acidic stomach? Prescribed digedtive enzyme capsules are coated to ensure they reach the small intestine.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That can be a problem. Some digestive enzymes can be activated by stomach acid or even survive stomach acid. There has been a story told in medicine that all proteins are destroyed down to amino acids in the stomach, but when you analyze healthy stool you see it isn't mostly happening. Inefficiencies are common in biological systems and that feeds the next downstream organism in the food/waste chain. Probiotics and enzymes often make it through the stomach in practicality, and so do many large molecules as plant medicinal compounds. Otherwise plant medicines could not work and they do make it into the bloodstream when eaten. An enteric coating does help some patients.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Many people use digestive enzymes for their whole life in order to digest food fully and to support healthy weight. The idea is that if we digest and absorb more nutrients, we will crave less calories and carbs and thus maintain weight.

    • @TheHumanCondition
      @TheHumanCondition  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If the goal is to build muscle and gain weight, then enzymes also help to again absorb more nutrients-protein for muscle, fat for fuel and carbs for the insulin surges needed to build muscle mass. Of course more exercise and calories are required.

      Both are helpful after one is cleared from surgery to eat. Enzymes and ox bile are different. Ox bile contains bile salts that are part of digestive juice, and enzymes are also part of digestive juices and come from food. They are very safe supplements. I took both as a way to help me get used to carnivore eating.

      I'm very careful with my patients and I cannot give personal directions here, so I use microdoses at first to see how any new supplement is tolerated. It is not usually necessary, but my patients tend to be sensitive. I tell my patients to consider a part of a capsule or tablet of ox bile with every meal and increase if tolerated to a level that improves digestive symptoms.

      The iliocecal valve should be closed, and dysbiosis with gas and bloating keeps it open. Some people have more serious gastro (and intestinal) paresis, which is a weak gut muscle. Getting rid of processed food and adding butyric acid to feed healthy gut bacteria helps. A lower GI barium x-ray can show if the valve is open. It is not usually, but it can feel terrible.
