Great content Dr. Ruscio, I Have been battling IBS-C for a long time. I'm very health conscious and exercise regularly. However in the last 12 years since the start of my digestive issues I have been leaning toward intermittent fasting 16/8, lower carb. I do get tired but it help me at least start my day where i can at least eat. The last year and a half has been not good with IBS symptoms. Again your videos helped a lot and started taking different probiotics (suppl and from foods), low FODMAP, AT the end of the day I feel defeated because I'm very active/athletic, I get really hungry then I eat consciously as above mentioned and still get so bloated/Fatigue/lethargic, or brain fog. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I have every symptom of leaky gut - and for pretty much 1 yr before I figured this out. (suspected dehydration due to coffee intake for const - into diarr as I'd have to use a tea to get things moving). Long story short I've cut everything except.. the high fodmaps as my "snacks" - no wonder I'm having flare ups with avocado, onions & garlic - also banana & pineapple for bromelain.. I'm just scaling this back since I was doing so well the past 3 weeks
@@mudasarzafar9084 I hope so - so far I'm exactly 2 months into carnival and it's gotten A LOT better & when I stick to meat-eggs-only with very little other foods I have zero bloat/gas & feel great. I keep trying to find people who are on this diet that had it & how long it takes to go away so I have an idea of a timeframe to expect
So....I have so many of these symptoms of "leaky gut".....AND....GERD...and possibly "Barret's Disease" of the esophagus....AND...histamine intolerance/overload (acute chronic urticaria).....possibly SIBO/SIFO....fatty liver....possible gallstones(again) and/or bile sludge....pancreatitis....tinnitus....tried going Keto again beginning of this year....but the tinnitus flared extremely loud....then urticaria sprung forth all over my skin from top to head to tip of toes!.... so doing online research of multiple You Tube Doctors...I should NOT eat any High Histamine foods...NO High Oxalate foods....NO spicy foods.....and now NO High FODMAP foods....and I ALWAYS have drank filtered water......do you think breathing air is still OK? or should I stop doing that too?!
Wish I could find a good doc like this. All docs seem to do now is look at you then prescribe some meds that don't address the issues causing the symptoms😕
Yep I'm seeing a GI doc and a GI surgeon and neither one seem to have a clue I don't know if I have leaky gut but a couple of the symptoms fit mostly my stomach hurts and I do get a bloating feeling . I've had about every test there is but the main thing is that none of the doctors listen to me and everything they have given me makes it worse. The only thing the GI Doc ever came up with IBS and I don't believe that is my problem when I tell him he just cops an attitude My main symptoms are Stomach pain (like I had an ulcer, 15 years ago I had an ulcer from too many NSAID's ) no energy some bloating
Gosh! Dr. Michael, Thank you so much for explaining things easier for people like me who is suffering from from that ghastly gut problem. I don't go out anymore as I am so scared of having an accident (restroom) problem, so I am a prisoner in my own home, basically, I do not have a life anymore, May God Bless you.
You need to do a TH-cam search for "Dr Davis" who successfully approaches the problem through the gut microbiome by replacing certain gut bacteria that have been lost due to antibiotics and other medications through the years. It actually works. Loss of good gut bacteria is what causes food intolerance's in the first place. This guy here is full of crap and just working around the edges instead of addressing the root cause. Eating certain foods may bring relief, but they don't solve the problem. It worked for me and most others after years of problems.
This doctor is Amazing!! I have to school doctor's in person.. they have been brainwashed and only try to prescribe meds with a ton of side affects. I love All your videos God bless you!! Thank you!!!
Since I saw your video and tried the low fodmap diet, i finally understood what triggerd my symptoms. I am feeling better than ever and healing my leaky gut. Thank you
I have leaky gut just because excess of antibiotics and ibuprofen after car accidents that I didn't cause. Never heard LG ever in my like, now this in combination with Menopause.....God help me! Thanks for this video.
I’m really sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with leaky gut, especially in combination with menopause and the impacts of antibiotics and ibuprofen. Leaky gut can indeed be a tough condition to manage, and it's understandable to feel overwhelmed with all that's going on. It’s crucial to focus on healing the gut lining through a combination of dietary changes, stress management, and possibly targeted supplements. A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods, such as leafy greens, bone broth, and probiotics, can be beneficial. Addressing stress and ensuring proper hydration also play a key role in gut health. Navigating these changes can be complex, but with the right strategies and support, improvement is definitely possible.
Oh Wow! 30yrs I have been suffering with severe IBS, even a diastatis recti due to bloat. Doc said if I bloat again I could burst my intestine...go to er. I'm prediabetic vegetarian struggling to do low-fodmap and keep a healthy nutrition lifestyle. Will rewatch this video to take notes for my next shopping list. Hoping you are the light at the end of my tunnel. :D
I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles with IBS and the complications it has caused, like diastasis recti and the constant worry about severe bloating. It sounds incredibly challenging to manage both a prediabetic condition and a low-FODMAP vegetarian diet. Finding the right balance can be tough, especially when dealing with restrictive diets and the need for proper nutrition. To support your health journey, it might help to work with a nutritionist who specializes in low-FODMAP and vegetarian diets to ensure you're getting all the necessary nutrients while managing your symptoms. Keeping a detailed food and symptom diary can also help pinpoint specific triggers and make it easier to adjust your diet. Remember, you're not alone, and there are people and resources out there that can help guide you through this. Stay hopeful, and take it one step at a time. You're on the right path!
Do a TH-cam search for "Dr Davis" who blows this know nothing Dr out of the water. Food alone may bring some relief, but it won't solve the root cause, which is a lack of good gut bacteria that has been lost through years of antibiotics and other gut bacteria killing medications. Replacing the good gut bacteria through mega doses inside of homemade yogurt is the key and it worked for me after years of trying various methods. Nothing else even come close. This Dr just toys around the edges and does nothing about the root cause. BTW, you can also make Dr Davis yogurt with coconut milk if you want to avoid dairy.

Doctor, thank you for the information provided in your videos I have struggled with IBS for over 25 years. Question: what about chia seeds and flaxseed?
@@OGAestheticsDepends on the person. Oxalates do not affect me or aggravate my issues (motility issues for a decade and bouts of IMO; only this past year getting better as I learned "not good" and "good" applied broadly is a guidelines, not a rule that applies to each individual).
@@GibranCamus-kr2dc i guess u can eat spinach and cook it to death f ex. But idk. I just avoid them all easier that way. Meat fruit organs and honey here. So damn noce diet no innflamation
@@OGAestheticsPeople slam everything now! Live on air then people 😂 These are natural toxins our bodies need maybe to balance things . Toxins are common in the animal world too
Try hemp hearts, great omega 3's no soaking or grinding, light buttery, nutty taste they say. I think they don't really have any taste. Go well on both savory and sweet food. They look sort of like sesame seeds. A little expensive but they last a long time because you only need 2 tablespoons a day. Can get at Walmart.
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!
Amen, to that, proof is in the pudding, went from 300lbs to 167lbs. n counting Didn't happen overnite. You have to reverse your eating habits, to healthier options. They all have good advice, but you have to be your own guinea pig, and find what works for you.😉🇺🇸
Thank you for the information. Im new to learning abroad a leaky gut way of eating. What about banana, peanut butter (no added oil), cinnamon? What kind of bread is ok? Ezekiel bread?
The problem with recommending dark chocolate if you have leaky gut is that you will feel the oxalates in it, in my case I dump the oxalates through my eyes so I wake up the next day with slightly irritated eyes and eye boggers after eating oxalates.
@@DrRuscioDC the question of glucose and glutamine as a food supply for cancer is not to broad to answer check the research from Thomas Seyfried of the Boston school of medicine
I've been looking up soo many low FODMAP video's Your's is straight forward with no magic bullet👍🏼 Meaning realistic. Giving options for foodies and non. I want to do a 3 day solid good fast.. as I commented below I would buy your powder but some ingredient are questionable for my system so I have reservation. At this point I would drink unflavored no sugar taste drinks if it would kick start the healing process/journey. Anyone know of any like that?
AIP, low fodmap, low histamines/salicylate/oxalate, I am very confused. Also, with MCAS/histamine, it’s hard to tolerate probiotics and fermented food. When leaky gut is severe especially bec of antibiotics, you have extreme sensitivities to food in general, supplements and prescriptions. Hope they come up with something like FMT or better than that. Do you have any recommendations for probiotics suppository? I may do elemental diet but it didn’t help before maybe bec I wasn’t told to take any probiotics as it feeds Sibo.
Managing leaky gut and sensitivities, especially with MCAS and histamine intolerance, can indeed be complex. Given your situation, here are a few recommendations: Probiotic Suppositories: These can be a good option when oral probiotics are difficult to tolerate. Some people find relief with brands like Klaire Labs Probiotic Suppositories or Bio-Kult Infantis. It’s essential to choose products that are free from common allergens and additives that might trigger your symptoms. Elemental Diet: If you decide to try an elemental diet again, it might be worth working with a healthcare professional who can guide you through the process and ensure that you’re using it correctly, including any necessary supplements. Sometimes, addressing underlying conditions like SIBO or dysbiosis with appropriate treatments can make a difference. GI-MAP stool testing: While this isn't always a perfect solution, it can shed some real light on what's ACTUALLY going on in your microbiome. Custom Probiotic Formulas: For those with extreme sensitivities, some practitioners offer custom probiotic blends tailored to individual needs. These can sometimes be more tolerable and effective. Gut-Healing Supplements: Consider supplements like L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, and collagen peptides, which can support gut healing without exacerbating sensitivities. Consult a Specialist: Since your situation is quite complex, working with a specialist who has experience in managing severe cases of leaky gut, MCAS, and histamine intolerance can provide you with personalized strategies and adjustments. It’s a tough journey, but with the right approach and support, you can find strategies that work for you. Hang in there!
@beth4698 -you are so right. It can be so confusing. So much conflicting information. I have found that when a person has so many food sensitivities, its usually dysbiosis in the gut. Do you mind if I ask what you're most annoying symptoms are?
@@Wendy-Frazier Just some information I recently learned. Underlying latent viruses can cause a myriad of symptoms, and mine were due to the herpes virus type 1 and 2. Women can have it and not even know. .I'm now on antiviral and no more symptoms.. best for everyone to get testes for latent viruses that reactivate and cause symptoms.
@@Themostmercifulrabb yes I agree. I run a GI-MAP test for my clients that tests for the DNA of virus/bacteria/parasite etc.. it’s very comprehensive- the best I have seen. I’m so glad you’re feeling better.
Thank you for your informative channel. I appreciate how you back up your information with the results from patient studies. The way you break things down is really helpful in my notetaking and the study findings reassuring of specific dietary change effectiveness.
@@DrRuscioDC Q. Humble request to share some more Indian Asian raw Fruits for better Gut health and huge under, respected sir new video on gain weight, for works as soluble fiber for better Liver health issues
A lot of these items are high in histamines so if you have histamine intolerance or mast cell activation syndrome, you may not want to drink bone broth. Marine collagen is high in histamines! These are things I will not take because of my histamine intolerance.
Yes, this is my challenge. Is the histamine intolerance caused by leaky gut? I wondered about doing the probiotic protocol for 3 months, then slowly reintroduce foods triggering histamine, as well as continuing to avoid gluten & sugar. What are your plans ?
I keep saying it. Histamine overload, histamine overload, histamine overload. Best leave bone broth and fermented products out, it made my gut issues worse. Please take a look into DAO and zeolite (Modified and Activated Natural Clinoptilolite). Both helped me in my healing journey. Never looking back.
Everyone’s body is different. Sad to hear that bone broth and fermented foods worsened your situation. But that isn’t everyone’s story. We have to start looking at things according to bio individuality.
Darn! Got some bone broth bubbling away right now. How did you work out that it causes histamine? Btw I agree with any fermented food causes me problems.
Michael, what are your thoughts on the connection between glycine rich food for supporting gut lining and the idea of addressing the seemingly problematic and ubiquitous methionine excess: not through the seemingly straightforward measure of directly restricting methionine, but through improving glycine to methionine ratio (which turns out to perhaps be the superior way of addressing excess methionine / homocysteine)...?
When I eat blueberries or oranges/grapefruit, they just don’t digest and almost look intact after I use the washroom. Same with leafy greens of any kind- although precooked frozen spinach seems to not bother me quite as much
It all gets a bit tricky - the candida led to leaky gut. While some candida diet recommendations fit with lowfodmap there are some that are problematic. eg broccoli etc, grains such as corn, spelt, the use of sugar as in 85% chocolate. Actually Im confused...after months of antifungals, probiotics, anti candida diet no change and my stomach does not feel happy! Interesting though when I see Ive been leaning to lowfodmap foods intuitively.
Great advice😀! Thank you for the info and reminders. I’ve had ibs since I was exposed to low level carbon monoxide, 6 years ago. Had to have multiple funding polyps removed and am sensitive to everything I put in my mouth now.
Hi Dr. Ruscio. As an experienced figure in the field of gut health, what would you say to a campaign to rename IBS to DBS/DBD? ‘Dysfunctional Bowel Syndrome/Disorder’. The term ‘irritable’ to describe a chronic condition almost seems to trivialise the health implications of the condition. The idea that our gut gets ‘irritated’ doesn’t begin to capture just how unpleasant it can be. It also has so many more implications on general health as you have so extensively highlighted in your videos. I’d be very happy to see the condition reevaluated in this vain. I’d be interested in your thoughts. Many thanks for reading and keep up the great work.
Plz ans.... I have psoriasis arthritis. Pain in joints and Inflammation. Which food i should avoid? I have heard that this is associated with leaky gut.
This answers my question how peppermint ended up resolving my lifelong lower right quadrant pain. Enzyme therapy and anti microbial treatment were also helpful but there was something special about peppermint oil.
I was suspected that I probably have leaky gut as i am only 50 kg when I tried eat more carb I have high glucose instead of gaining weight, bloating constipation low trigleserida. Now I limit my food for chicken (boiled) fish pumpkin, carrot, chia seed avocado. Supplemented with MCT, glutathione, collagen, probiotik, enzyme, omega 3 vitamin d, l glutamine. I enter my 3rd month, I no longer have bloating bloating, skin improved, no acne, my hemorrhoids is gone. Yet i go to toilet about once in 5 days but I don't have any difficulty experience when in the toilet. Is that still okay?
Im hopeful that I can get an answer here that might help others as well. One of my biggest struggles is keeping track of optimal times to eat and what foods to not introduce TOGETHER. Ive learned that some vitamins compete with each other if taken at the same time . Are there foods in this list that need to be spaced from each other due to their function? Not necessarily if there are adverse effects , but rather if certain foods will neutralize each others effectiveness if taken together.
My only symptom I have is constipation, I can go multiple times a day but I still rarely ever get a complete evacuation and I never feel like i can achieve one. Would altering my diet be beneficial? Do you think an elimination diet would be good or should I go low fodmap directly? I take collagen, turmeric, I incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables in my diet and eat a good amount of protein yet I seem to not be able to completely evacuate. But I do not get severely bloated or gassy, I do notice belching every now and then. These symptoms used to be a lot worse but over time with probiotics and supporting my gut it has drastically decreased. Just the constipation remains. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😊
Thank you all for the advice. I been trying a lot but I think I need to be more consistent in certain things but a complete bowel movement seems like a dream these days
I have the exact same issue but I found that eating gluten free oats with half teaspoon of chia seeds soaked in dairy free milk for a few hours or over night consumed with blueberries gave me a proper empty bowel movement. Don't eat chia seeds raw, ensure they are soaked so they expand, warm up the oats and consume. Taste great too
Its hard to know whats true… i just listened to the video about how bad fermented foods are for leaky gut, especially if you have bacterial overgrowth. 😮 i guess literally everybody must go by own trial and error. Thx for great video.
I eat too many after Lyme diagnoses and Anti biotic rounds. Messed me up bad. Too much too soon. To much fiber, too many ferments. I eat garlic pickles daily.. 😅 there is no one size fits all. bacteria leaves and pathogens levels differ in each of us. I had to stop over doing it to feel better faster. Praying they find more sensitive tests soon!

So happy to hear that. Thanks for watching and commenting too :)
Very informative, thank you!
Great informative presentation!
Great video! Everything explained so simply! Thanks
I'm so glad you thought so! :)
Thanks for helping me
THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT CONTENT!!!!!
You're right, not all foods sit well with everyone. I for one don't do well with chia seeds. It literelly hurts and feels like a rock in my stomach.
Have you tried soaking them first? Or adding to a smoothie and leaving overnight? I find this help digestion of chia
Try hemp hearts, great omega 3's no soaking or grinding, light buttery, nutty taste they say. I think they don't really have any taste. Go well on both savory and sweet food. They look sort of like sesame seeds. A little expensive but they last a long time because you only need 2 tablespoons a day. Can get at Walmart.
Great video! Thank you!
Great info but every video I would start with leaky gut symptoms, for the general pwrson only understands symptoms instead of the term leaky gut.
Cacao also high in oxalates.
Yes thank you🎉 Information I didn't have
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!
It’s important to listen to your body as there are some “health” foods could be a threat in the body.
What was he trying to sell? I’m lost as to what you are complaining about.
Amen, to that, proof is in the pudding, went from 300lbs to 167lbs. n counting Didn't happen overnite. You have to reverse your eating habits, to healthier options. They all have good advice, but you have to be your own guinea pig, and find what works for you.😉🇺🇸

I am starting with the Low Fodmap program (standard) and a probiotic. I am going to commit to this for two weeks. My main issue is bloating.
Hey I am just seeing this. Just curious how is it going with the probiotic? An did you implement the Fodmap diet?
Thank you for the information. Im new to learning abroad a leaky gut way of eating. What about banana, peanut butter (no added oil), cinnamon? What kind of bread is ok? Ezekiel bread?
The problem with recommending dark chocolate if you have leaky gut is that you will feel the oxalates in it, in my case I dump the oxalates through my eyes so I wake up the next day with slightly irritated eyes and eye boggers after eating oxalates.
Doctor I think you are the proper person to ask this question. Does all this fiber in whole foods damage an inflamed gut?
Good question🎉
concise excellent info thanks 🙏
Does cancer feed on glutamine? And also glucose? Maybe best not to mess with the glutamine balance?
I think these questions are too broad to be accurately answered
@@DrRuscioDC the question of glucose and glutamine as a food supply for cancer is not to broad to answer check the research from Thomas Seyfried of the Boston school of medicine
Hi Dr. R. Is there a way to make your own predigested liquid food? I can't eat maltodextrin. Can I just blend my food? Thanks for any help.
Dr. You seem to make much sense.
I have an autoimmune disorder.
Nuts and seeds also contain a lot of polylipids and or high of omega 6 inflammatory! And nuts usually are not good tolerated! 😀
Soak nuts and seeds over night before eating
I've been looking up soo many low FODMAP video's
Your's is straight forward with no magic bullet👍🏼
Meaning realistic.
Giving options for foodies and non. I want to do a 3 day solid good fast.. as I commented below I would buy your powder but some ingredient are questionable for my system so I have reservation.
At this point I would drink unflavored no sugar taste drinks if it would kick start the healing process/journey. Anyone know of any like that?
AIP, low fodmap, low histamines/salicylate/oxalate, I am very confused. Also, with MCAS/histamine, it’s hard to tolerate probiotics and fermented food. When leaky gut is severe especially bec of antibiotics, you have extreme sensitivities to food in general, supplements and prescriptions. Hope they come up with something like FMT or better than that. Do you have any recommendations for probiotics suppository? I may do elemental diet but it didn’t help before maybe bec I wasn’t told to take any probiotics as it feeds Sibo.
Try "Gutsi" probiotic. It is the only one I can tolerate, and I have mcas, pots, and histamine intolerance
Managing leaky gut and sensitivities, especially with MCAS and histamine intolerance, can indeed be complex. Given your situation, here are a few recommendations:
Probiotic Suppositories: These can be a good option when oral probiotics are difficult to tolerate. Some people find relief with brands like Klaire Labs Probiotic Suppositories or Bio-Kult Infantis. It’s essential to choose products that are free from common allergens and additives that might trigger your symptoms.
Elemental Diet: If you decide to try an elemental diet again, it might be worth working with a healthcare professional who can guide you through the process and ensure that you’re using it correctly, including any necessary supplements. Sometimes, addressing underlying conditions like SIBO or dysbiosis with appropriate treatments can make a difference.
GI-MAP stool testing: While this isn't always a perfect solution, it can shed some real light on what's ACTUALLY going on in your microbiome.
Custom Probiotic Formulas: For those with extreme sensitivities, some practitioners offer custom probiotic blends tailored to individual needs. These can sometimes be more tolerable and effective.
Gut-Healing Supplements: Consider supplements like L-glutamine, zinc carnosine, and collagen peptides, which can support gut healing without exacerbating sensitivities.
Consult a Specialist: Since your situation is quite complex, working with a specialist who has experience in managing severe cases of leaky gut, MCAS, and histamine intolerance can provide you with personalized strategies and adjustments.
It’s a tough journey, but with the right approach and support, you can find strategies that work for you. Hang in there!
@beth4698 -you are so right. It can be so confusing. So much conflicting information. I have found that when a person has so many food sensitivities, its usually dysbiosis in the gut. Do you mind if I ask what you're most annoying symptoms are?
@@Wendy-Frazier Just some information I recently learned.
Underlying latent viruses can cause a myriad of symptoms, and mine were due to the herpes virus type 1 and 2.
Women can have it and not even know. .I'm now on antiviral and no more symptoms.. best for everyone to get testes for latent viruses that reactivate and cause symptoms.
@@Themostmercifulrabb yes I agree. I run a GI-MAP test for my clients that tests for the DNA of virus/bacteria/parasite etc.. it’s very comprehensive- the best I have seen. I’m so glad you’re feeling better.
Thank you for your informative channel. I appreciate how you back up your information with the results from patient studies. The way you break things down is really helpful in my notetaking and the study findings reassuring of specific dietary change effectiveness.

A lot of these items are high in histamines so if you have histamine intolerance or mast cell activation syndrome, you may not want to drink bone broth.
Marine collagen is high in histamines! These are things I will not take because of my histamine intolerance.
Yes, this is my challenge. Is the histamine intolerance caused by leaky gut? I wondered about doing the probiotic protocol for 3 months, then slowly reintroduce foods triggering histamine, as well as continuing to avoid gluten & sugar. What are your plans ?
I suffer histamine problems too
Thanks for the heads up. I made BB for a year and stoped and felt better in ways. Even sauerkraut.
Moderation is important.
Thank you sir
I keep saying it. Histamine overload, histamine overload, histamine overload. Best leave bone broth and fermented products out, it made my gut issues worse. Please take a look into DAO and zeolite (Modified and Activated Natural Clinoptilolite). Both helped me in my healing journey. Never looking back.
Everyone’s body is different. Sad to hear that bone broth and fermented foods worsened your situation. But that isn’t everyone’s story. We have to start looking at things according to bio individuality.
Darn! Got some bone broth bubbling away right now. How did you work out that it causes histamine? Btw I agree with any fermented food causes me problems.
Yes bone borth is FULL of histamines. Search it. If u have a prob with them u should really avoid it
Agree here. Tried sauerkraut and it kept me up all night and breathing laboriously trying to sleep. Horrible shit.
Additionally, supplementing quercetin inhibits histamine.
Thank you Doctor for all your knowledge.
Michael, what are your thoughts on the connection between glycine rich food for supporting gut lining and the idea of addressing the seemingly problematic and ubiquitous methionine excess: not through the seemingly straightforward measure of directly restricting methionine, but through improving glycine to methionine ratio (which turns out to perhaps be the superior way of addressing excess methionine / homocysteine)...?
I had a bad reaction from kefir - diarrhea. My doctor said other patients also had bad reaction from kefir..
Thank you 🙏🏼
When I eat blueberries or oranges/grapefruit, they just don’t digest and almost look intact after I use the washroom. Same with leafy greens of any kind- although precooked frozen spinach seems to not bother me quite as much
Almost everything listed is bad for mcas. I struggle with what to do.
Thank you very much from the Netherlands
❤ very informative vedio
Thanks!
It all gets a bit tricky - the candida led to leaky gut. While some candida diet recommendations fit with lowfodmap there are some that are problematic. eg broccoli etc, grains such as corn, spelt, the use of sugar as in 85% chocolate. Actually Im confused...after months of antifungals, probiotics, anti candida diet no change and my stomach does not feel happy! Interesting though when I see Ive been leaning to lowfodmap foods intuitively.
Look into diatomaceous earth . Check out Sean martu read some comments as well. Do some water fasting and see how you feel for 3 days
Great advice😀! Thank you for the info and reminders. I’ve had ibs since I was exposed to low level carbon monoxide, 6 years ago. Had to have multiple funding polyps removed and am sensitive to everything I put in my mouth now.
Fundic polyps not funding.
Hi Dr. Ruscio. As an experienced figure in the field of gut health, what would you say to a campaign to rename IBS to DBS/DBD? ‘Dysfunctional Bowel Syndrome/Disorder’. The term ‘irritable’ to describe a chronic condition almost seems to trivialise the health implications of the condition. The idea that our gut gets ‘irritated’ doesn’t begin to capture just how unpleasant it can be. It also has so many more implications on general health as you have so extensively highlighted in your videos. I’d be very happy to see the condition reevaluated in this vain. I’d be interested in your thoughts. Many thanks for reading and keep up the great work.
Thank you,God bless
Plz ans....
I have psoriasis arthritis. Pain
in joints and Inflammation. Which food i should avoid? I have heard that this is associated with leaky gut.
I avoid nightshades with my arthritis
I have Crohns i’ve been ingesting from gut for quite a while while I don’t know what else to eat
Can't wait!
Hi, I was wondering.. where do you get your tshirts from? The fit is nice!
This answers my question how peppermint ended up resolving my lifelong lower right quadrant pain. Enzyme therapy and anti microbial treatment were also helpful but there was something special about peppermint oil.
Love it
What about oxilates and histamines high in foods too 😩 its so hard
Don't give up.. you will find the answer I pray.
I was suspected that I probably have leaky gut as i am only 50 kg when I tried eat more carb I have high glucose instead of gaining weight, bloating constipation low trigleserida. Now I limit my food for chicken (boiled) fish pumpkin, carrot, chia seed avocado. Supplemented with MCT, glutathione, collagen, probiotik, enzyme, omega 3 vitamin d, l glutamine. I enter my 3rd month, I no longer have bloating bloating, skin improved, no acne, my hemorrhoids is gone. Yet i go to toilet about once in 5 days but I don't have any difficulty experience when in the toilet. Is that still okay?
if youe psyche is fine, you are fine. IMO
your
also have a steak now and then
Do you take any medicine like I do Mesacol
Im hopeful that I can get an answer here that might help others as well. One of my biggest struggles is keeping track of optimal times to eat and what foods to not introduce TOGETHER. Ive learned that some vitamins compete with each other if taken at the same time . Are there foods in this list that need to be spaced from each other due to their function? Not necessarily if there are adverse effects , but rather if certain foods will neutralize each others effectiveness if taken together.
My only symptom I have is constipation, I can go multiple times a day but I still rarely ever get a complete evacuation and I never feel like i can achieve one. Would altering my diet be beneficial? Do you think an elimination diet would be good or should I go low fodmap directly?
I take collagen, turmeric, I incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables in my diet and eat a good amount of protein yet I seem to not be able to completely evacuate.
But I do not get severely bloated or gassy, I do notice belching every now and then. These symptoms used to be a lot worse but over time with probiotics and supporting my gut it has drastically decreased. Just the constipation remains. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😊
For me what helped was reducing vegetables and fibre, and eating a carnivore style diet. The more fibre I eat the more constipated I seem to get.
Ive read that a small amt of organic castor oil will help
U may start doing yoga which triger the intestines for good motality
Thank you all for the advice. I been trying a lot but I think I need to be more consistent in certain things but a complete bowel movement seems like a dream these days
I have the exact same issue but I found that eating gluten free oats with half teaspoon of chia seeds soaked in dairy free milk for a few hours or over night consumed with blueberries gave me a proper empty bowel movement.
Don't eat chia seeds raw, ensure they are soaked so they expand, warm up the oats and consume. Taste great too
Doctor so you would say that it would be okay to consume Kefir when my IBS symptoms are severe (IBS-C)
Kefir ca
Kefir caused diarrhea in me. Doctor confirmed other of her patients had bad reactions from kefir.
ts
Drink lots of water especially before bed it makes a lot different for IBS
I brought L-glutamine, but I get diarrhea to some extent after eating just 3gram.
İzlediğim en açıklayıcı video sanırım bu. Çok teşekkür ederim.
Not to used in excess quantity that is suggested can use 1 teaspoon for curry for ten people
Isn't turmeric high in oxalates?
I wouldn’t eat to much chicken either because of th which polylipid (omega 6) cause it’s inflammatory
Can you recommend a dark chocolate that doesn’t contain any heavy metals in it? Thanks so much!
I don't understand u suggest low food that feeding bacteria and what about the suggestion of kefir and kimchi? Ls anyone if you could help
Kiefer populates not a food for bacterium I was told.
thankyou soo much
Its hard to know whats true… i just listened to the video about how bad fermented foods are for leaky gut, especially if you have bacterial overgrowth. 😮 i guess literally everybody must go by own trial and error. Thx for great video.
I eat too many after Lyme diagnoses and Anti biotic rounds. Messed me up bad. Too much too soon.
To much fiber, too many ferments. I eat garlic pickles daily.. 😅 there is no one size fits all. bacteria leaves and pathogens levels differ in each of us.
I had to stop over doing it to feel better faster. Praying they find more sensitive tests soon!
can u mix dark chocolate and beirres together and make it
smoothie? thanks
Got 3 months before surgury to cut weak large intestine, and wear poo bad for life, i reguse to have thes surgurry, but one mushroom growing outside the gut infecting womb abd bladder
May you please clarify: someone with leaky gut problem is it beneficial or can it cause damage if supplementing with probiotics and prebiotics?
We have a video on supplements for leaky gut :
Clove tea helped with immediate relief from abdominal discomfort.
