I have been suffering for years with ibs...wish i would have found your video's sooner.. I have applied much of tour advice and found my life improved.. Thank you for putting in the time and work it takes to bring us this information.
Cutting out gluten and dairy has immensely helped me!! I was dealing with malabsorption and now I'm having regular movements, and gaining weight back. Yayyy 🙏
Because of the "immense help" from eliminating gluten from your diet, do you think you may have Celiac Disease? Have you ever considered getting a Celiac Disease test from the doctor? it may provide clues as to why you had these problems in the first place.
Doctor Berg , you have described me to a tee.I had my gall bladder removed and now have IBSSS. meaning symptoms are multiplied minus the gallbladder attacks . I have gained weight , have diarrhea with apparent bile issues. I find that when i follow a keto diet i have things under better control.
+Eric Berg, wow! I never thought of the intestine as skin! I learn a lot from you and I appreciate the time that you take in your busy life to share your knowledge and experience. I wish that you were my own doctor. I have so much to do to complete heal!
Thank you so much for this information. Your videos are so informative. For years I have talked to my dr about certain issues but your videos are finally giving me understanding. It's a relief to have understanding.
Shirley, I've had the SAME experience with doctors as you. They've always told me that 'this is normal aging.' But I'd rather age as healthily as possible. PS, my mother's name was Shirley.
After leaving the dr office highly disappointed, I decided to start doing some personal research. Approx 3 years ago, I cut out gluten and there was a noticeable difference. If I started eating gluten again, certain symptoms would return. I still go to my dr especially for diagnosis but I have a natural dr and I watch videos like these. And I love Dr Berg videos. "Hope your mom is well"
I can't even list the misdiagnoses I've had with doctors. One doctor, when I was in the throes of menopause, told me I just needed some prozac. Several more experiences like that prodded me to, like you, do my own research. I love Dr. Berg's videos, too. He has confirmed many of my own conclusions and guided me to even greater health. And my mother is in heaven, so I think she's doing well.
I just learned (2022) that the Sonnenburg lab (Stanford University) finds that a healthy microbiome also produces bile (in addition to it being produced by the liver). They recommend more fermented foods (saurekraut, kefir).
I had cronic diarrhea for 2 decades. The last 2 years were terrible. Tried vegetarian diet, tried diet high in meat and everything in between. Also tried probiotics. No results. 8 years ago I started changing my diet and lost some kilos. It got a bit better but still had "surprise incidents" which made going to work a challenge (on 1.5 km from home). In 2014 I decided I'll try water fasting, too. To my surprise, 3 days were enough to end that horrible period. after those days of no food, got back to previous diet in a progressive fashion, so the body would not be shocked. Since then I can eat anything. I also learned that an overloaded liver (been eating huge amounts of bread) has a significant contribution to diarrhea. I advice anyone who has issues to do all the lab checks needed and not just try to guess. Guessing is fro gambling, not for the health of humans. Now I'm 2 weeks away from a nutritionist exam and hope that after it I can help other people even more.
@Lo Gamma GT, TGO, TGP for liver overload and differential diagnosis (TGO/TGP ratio can show some diseases) - Your doctor might recommend more tests and you should do them all. Triglycerides, fasting glucose and HbA1C for carbohydrate overload (acute and chronic) CA19-9 and CEA as markers that can, in some circumstances, indicate bowel and pancreas issues. Doing a colonoscopy is extremely important to differentiate certain issues (to see if there is cancer, polyps, aphthous ulcers - as in my case). So is a coproculture to check for parasites and/or their eggs. If diarrhea is torturing you for years, all of the above must be done.
Getting to the bottom of the symptom is like peeling an onion. I believe I'm finally making it to the main issue that I'll get corrected. Thank you so much.

Hi Dr.Berg. I'm absolutely addicted to your videos. Please advise: 1) Are amaranth and white rice ok to use if they are soaked overnight in water with a little apple cider vinegar to break down the phytic acid and lectins? 2) Dairy is mainly contraindicated because of Casein type A. Would kefir be ok? Is casein broken down by the fermentation in kefir? Alternatively is goat milk ok to use? 3) Since it is difficult to get completely organic Glyphosate free food always, is there any processing such as soaking in baking soda or other processing that can be done to break up Glyphosate, pesticides and other chemicals from fruits, vegetables & other foods before cooking and consuming them? Thanking you for the guidance.
Dr. Berg: Love your videos and how you connect symptoms to their causes, the underlying physiological effects, and how to correct these effects through nutrition. Would you please address diverticulitis specifically in one of your videos? Thank you so much! -- A Devoted Fan
Thanks for the information doctor. Could you please give more details in a seperate video about celiac disease, its symptoms, diet and its effect on one's psychology and performance? Thank you

Thank you for being a voice of hope I will incorporate these things into my diet and pray for the best!☺Thank you Dr. Berg for using your talent to be a hope and help to others May God bless you and everything you do!👍
Finally somebody talking sense. Had ibs-d for years and dietitians don't seem to understand that fibre pass too quickly and many of the seemingly good foods just go straight through. Your description of bile further down your digestive tract makes sense.
Make sure you address allergens such as dairy, and gluten. I thought I had IBS, but I strongly now believe it could be Gluten intolerance. And I do have milk allergy as well. Another issue to discuss with my doctor. 😭
Dr. Berg has been consistently providing vus with practical solutions for our small anb big health issues.. Yes I too feel almost addicted to listen to his video... His way to present the information is very wonderful as easy to understand.😊
i have IBS ... but Doctors don't seem to know what this really means . I had anti biotics 12 years ago and have never felt right since and have a small frame but my tummy sticks out . It's better than a few years ago as i'm helping it naturally . Thanks so much for this video .
YOU SOLVED MY PROBLEM! I have Crohn's and had lower right intestine & appendix removed 7 years ago.. Your recommendation of sublingual B vitamin saved me.. I had a persistent 2 year cough (good thing I work from home) it was so bad I couldn't breathe at night. I took pill form but it never worked only sublingual did the trick right away. Thank You Dr Berg I will buy from you out loyalty for solving my problem. Given my situation what other vitamin deficiencies could I have from having some of my intestine removed?
Dr Berg do you have any suggestions for how to eat after having recovered from small bowel obstruction surgery. Have been told fiber is not my friend anymore, and to eat a low fiber diet to help with food moving more easily through the colon to not get blockages as easily.
Is it possible to get healed from IBS and Leaky Gut? or it can be only managed? I am doing this diet for 10 years now, spent hundreds of thousands on these things and didn't get healed.
add more zinc supplement. i had read a user comment who used 75 mg of zinc and got result that felt better after it. Studies also shows zinc is the one of most important minerals on GI track repairing. but eveything is all. i mean you need to stop gluten, dairy casein, lactoz, sugars, carbs for a while. especially first 3 days of diet. add only bone broth in first 3 days of diet only by supplementing glutamin, MSM, glucosamine, 75mg zinc, some vitamin a and e and k2, 2-3 gram daily omega3, digestive enzymes just before meals, some multivitamin which contain other b vitamins and other minerals as well. you will get fast result with this. after first 3 days, slowly and one by one add others to check if you are tolared to them or not. and a note, never eat when you dont feel very hungry because it will cause more inflammation which makes the healing worsen .
SUPER ! I love the Docs explanations..I wasn't really aware the bile helps digest the nutrients and then is recycled. Thank Gob if your body works right !
This is a video with amazing explanation 👌🏼 and full of useful and important information! 👍🏼 Thank You! 🙏🏻 Q. Being a vegetarian, may I take Glutamine or L-Glutamine (which one) supplement instead of bone broth? (From India).
Raw vegetables are cold and hard for the digestive system of us leaky gut folks - the stomach and spleen appreciate soft, warm foods. Digestion is also easier this way. See how you feel after consuming raw, cold veggies and how you feel after warm, soft veggies.
A Q Sooooo True! Thankyou!.. hardly anyone talks about this and they push Raw Veges and fruit for enzymes etc (living food).. I tried it and has made me weaker and my teeth have suffered a lot. Chinese medicine understands more about digestion and absorption and unless you are a Hot constitution it's best to limit raw foods as they are Cold & Damp. Hopefully I can pick myself up again with cooked food.🙏🏻
Awesome video, just watching it even though it’s quite old, and I am amazed how come so many Doctors didn’t understand my problem of not absorbing the bile in the small intestine and the problem can cause other problems
Yes it can very fast if you adres allergic Things no more gluten and dairy my problem also fructose malabsorption when I was of it I was gain weight 10kg in 3 weeks Healthy weight
The lining in the intestines is replaced every three days. So if you are following a healing diet, younshould see improvement within days, but it will still be easy to have it revert. So stay on the diet, for Months. So you can heal it. But you can't go back to the diet that caused it.
@@drakiana8717 Thank you so much for sharing the information. Our bodies truly are beautifully divine, I appreciate your shared insight, genuinely. 🙏🏼❤
I wonder if Dr. Berg could give a general top 10 recommendations for health. I am gleaning a lot of information from each of the teaching videos. But it seems like a lot of information in bits and pieces. Something by way of the top 10 things to prevent health issues and maintain good health?
Anyone suffering crohn's, try:-- a breakfast shake as follows: Mineral water Hemp protein (bulk) Essential Amino Acid powder First Milk Powder (complete vitamin and mineral supplement) Raw coconut oil Raw honey Ground chia seeds Match green tea powder Spirulina powder (small amount) Pinch of sea salt or pink salt Add: Pro-biotics supplement, digestive enzymes, cod liver oil (inc vit D3), Avoid gluten and grains until gut healed. Once gut healed, move from juices to salad greens, lettuce, cabbage and carrot, add salt, pepper, apple cyder vinegar, lemon juice.
@@gordonpeter1061 get fluids with diverse pro-biotics, from real fermented foods, saurkraut, kefir, yoghurt, etc. plus supplements, including non-irradiated foods. Also note, most tap water will not be possible to ferment foods, as needs to be clean mineral water. Focus on getting complete conditional essential nutrition (vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids), along with diverse pro-biotics and digestive enzymes. Pls let us know how you get on. Max medix, bio-kult, Garden of Life, Nu U, Natures aid, quest, solgar, sevenhills, healthspan......are some good brands.
@@tensevo thanks a million I feel like the food is passing with difficulty through the ileocecal valve. Im gonna stick with liquids for the time being.
Great info as usual Dr. Berg! I can't take L-Glutamine because I am sensitive to MSG. L-Glutamine caused me to break out in hives for weeks, and sensitized my skin for months to outbreaks of contact dermatitis.
G. Dub l-glutamine didn't do anything for me the number of times I took it- wonder if it has helped anyone else?.. maybe a good source is better then a supplement form?
i love cabbage but it gives me pains in my stomach, I have crohns diease and its always trial and error and what may be ok to eat one day isnt good the next . One of the questions i always get asked when im having a bad day, What did you eat?? trying to explain to someone it doesnt matter what you eat sometimes it could be the heat maybe you drank to much water that day anyting but they always like to say u ate something you know you couldnt. I think its really hard for people who dont have crohns or IBD or even IBS at times to understand us. We have to evaluate everything that would eat and drink all day long and what may seem so simple for some people isnt for us. If i want to go out on my day off i cant eat and ill go hours without eating becuase i have to doing things out of the house. I do drink apple cider vinegar everyday with water and it has helped me feel better. Im vitamin defficent i know that so i also take lots of vitamins and i went to the doc thinking everything was great but i wasnt absorbing much b12 and i took a supplement now i have to double it. anywho thank you for explain how it works with our intestine i have shown this my my friends and family so maybe they cant get a better understanding of me. =)
I have Crohn’s disease too now, after a horrible accident and a year in the hospital, lost 10 in of small intestines, and now having all kinds of problems. Gastro put me on Cimzia is this good or bad? Any help would be great appreciated!
Thank you Dr. Berg! Do these EM1 probiotics work just as well as the high quality ones you have to keep refrigerated? I’m always skeptical of probiotics not kept in “living” condition. Thank you!
Hi Dr Berg, thank you so much. Would be wonderful if you could give a bit of an indicator in your videos of time frames for healing protocols. When battling these things one gets so discouraged and its hard to know what to expect in terms of what to hope for, when one might see results. Do I take cabbage juice for a week? Or 3 months? Do let us know, thanks for all you do. Kind regards and God bless, Helene from Denmark
Please make a video about how to heal the stomach area after radiation treatment. A friend has radiation ENTERITIS, and gastro PARESIS. Vomiting for months and it's not stopping.
How does SIBO affect one. It’s caused numerous symptoms and I’ve eliminated probiotics but what foods should I stay away from. I love potatoes and pasta, so a gluten free pasta I do use but should I do Keto to reduce carbohydrates.
WOW...A VIDEO THAT ADDRESSES THAT SOME US LACK BILE AND THEREFORE WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DO KETO! I OFTEN WONDERED WHY, IF HE IS SUCH A KETO ADVOCATE...WHY NOT HELP US RESOLVE THE THINGS THAT MIGHT BE OBSTACLES TO DO KETO? AND I FEEL HE DOES THAT IN THIS VIDEO..WITHOUT NECESSARILY CALLING "ITS NAME"....THANK YOU!
Please define "grains". Is oatmeal bad too or corn? Also, how cam you eat Ghee if you can't have dairy? How can you have wheat grass if you can't have wheat?
great video doctor! yes, intestines are like skin. grains, milk, sugar, overeating etc minimize is HUGE achievement. you may write a small book on this video. keto or this healing diet means minimize tomato, beets, fruits exept some berries etc? red fruit and red veggies may be need to minimized?
@@seanmiller4559 for strong healing or severe cases the best may be almost Zero junk meals. In severe cases, 300 gr of daily breads or pizza etc may be huge problem! If 2 tomatos or 2 carrots etc are not tolarated well enough, Who may suggest strong coffees, pizza, breads, etc? For small problems or good health they may be tolerated ok. In heavy cases? They may Never healing without strong diet! If about 200 gr oranges,tomatoes, red meat, milk, make problems, 300 gr Breads etc may be much worse! Perhaps you have not severe problems. And perhaps you may not need very severe diet. I am no doctor anyway. Also Each case may be totally different.
What about if my damage is from atrophic gastritis and sibo?? I have very bad malabsorption and hormone imbalance. Can you please do a video on these..I’ve been sick for years and nothing really helps! HELP!
She’s a Rainbow I've been sick for years too... I don't recommend Raw vegan eating as really didn't work for me. Warm soft cooked veg/Ghee-soups soaked nuts if you eat them .. I use Hemp as my protein source as animal protein is too heavy for my digestion -has Vitamin D in it/lots omega 3 right balance. Ginger tea.. I've just recently started using 'Colostrum LD'.. a lot of people say it has saved their life from Autoimmune/leaky gut conditions. It works differently then dairy. Worth a look into.. I'm hoping it helps me fully heal. Hope this advice helps you.
Eliminate grains - I've heard steel cut oats are good though for colitis/crohns? But could be a different time of the healing process? Or I could just be wrong.
Dr. Berg, thanks so much for your videos and your heart working to help people. The probiotics from EM you mentioned could you be more specific, I used the link but they have lots of products and I am not sure what is the one you mentioned.
I don't know if this will help you, but I was having problems with incontinence after sneezing a lot from allergies (pollen and dust). But when I started taking large amounts of Vitamin D3, my sneezing and incontinence practically disappeared. I take a minimum of 15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily (preferably with a meal). In addition to taking the Vitamin D3, I take (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90mcg (3 times daily) to better absorb the Vitamin D3 among the other benefits of taking Vitamin K2/MK-7. I hope this information will help you.
Sounds like one of my veggie soups is about right: Broth with cabbage and a few diced tomatoes plus apple cider vinegar to taste, seasoned with oregano and garlic I also like to add chopped kale to most of my soups - an alternative to juicing greens
@@icediamonds11 I prefer vegetable broth but I will use either chicken or beef, depending on what’s available. Sometimes I actually don’t use broth, just water with salt and whatever seasonings sound good… The Apple cider vinegar (maybe 1/2 cup vinegar to 1 quart broth, whatever tastes good for the day 😁) adds a real nice zip to it, along with the juice from canned diced tomatoes.
It's considered a rare disease APECED. All tests can come back normal. The EE cells of the Small intestine are either destroyed by autoimmune or environmental (antibiotics which increase yeast overgrowth; SIBO might be first step). most Gastro docs end up diagnosing patients with IBS as that is a general way to say "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS".
Dr berg I've been taking the apple cider vinegar and lemon everfay. when do I stop? can too much be harmful? I've done it for 1 month after 27 years of destroying my liver
Dr Berg, Greatly appreciate your messages. 😊 I may have this exact issue. Been having diarrhea for weeks/ months. I shall take those suggested foods and vitamins. Meanwhile, do you have suggested medicine that can be of immediate help to stop the diarrhea and gassing? Your most respected advise and comments is greatly appreciated.
I have IBS and find that increasing fiber (not broccoli though) helps my condition. And steamed cabbage and cauliflower have helped tremendously. I'm also unable to process most seeds, with the exception of pumpkin, squash, and sunflower. Roma tomatoes are fine sans seeds, same with peppers. Raw greens are fine on occasion, but steamed is better.
Good point but it still could be all seeds. I realized something when I did a preparation for the scope. My body held onto flax seeds because of my condition so to know what is going on, it really depends on seeing the condition of the insides. I dont have an issue with most vegetables, it is the stuff contaminated with glycophosphate and probably most raw fruits that give me trouble. Have you ever tried Gundry diet? He said most nuts are bad except for a few. Worth a read.
@@darlinspaces even the seeds on breadcrust go straight through me. My gastroenterologist said that is classic IBS (seeds and water). Working on microbiome currently.
@@darlinspaces tried Gundry diet. Could not maintain it. Did a genetics test. I do not require a high carb diet like some, only moderate. So my focus is on non processed, moderate carb intake, healthy dairy and eggs, fish, and some red meat. That outline makes me feel best. The genetics test said eat eel, mackerel, loads of greens, and butternut squash. Lol, eel? Not. Besides, it's endangered. But I do love greens of all kinds.
Wow, you just connected all the dots for me. I struggled with the IBS-D for about two years, and now I'm on the other end of the spectrum, just like you explained here. It's literally got me tied up in knots! Can't even eat without taking digestive enzyme supplements with my meals. 😞 I've tried to make bone broth, but it tasted so gross I ended up throwing it out. I'm wondering if there are any supplements you recommend that would give similar effects? Anyone else here having the same issues?
Er Roneous Bone Broth was gross for me too and gave me a migraine for 3 days. High in histamine I believe (chicken bones). Can also try Beef collagen powder- could be useful.
Love your program always... I drink alot of cultured milk and blue cheese is that. Good or not... I live alone and find it stressful to cook for myself.. Pls advise
This is very helpful Dr.Berg. What's the right test to diagnose one of these conditions? I've got all blood tests done (TTG, IgA, G, M, LFT, TSH, CRP) and the results are negative.
Thank You Dr. Berg, I've recently been addicted to you channel :-). I've a long persistent Gastritis (confirmed twice in UGE), And that's the reason I'm on PPI's for a very long time (2 years+), Do you think I should go for the Gall Bladder Formula? I'was going to buy one so thought about confirming with you first.
You were YEARS AND YEARS ahead of your time. Can't believe this was posted 7 years ago lol now everyone is finally just catching on!

What are you doing for it ? Also what are your signs for IBS
Brilliant thank you...you have explained more than my doctors ever did.....
YOU SOLVED MY PROBLEM!
I have Crohn's and had lower right intestine & appendix removed 7 years ago.. Your recommendation of sublingual B vitamin saved me.. I had a persistent 2 year cough (good thing I work from home) it was so bad I couldn't breathe at night. I took pill form but it never worked only sublingual did the trick right away.
Thank You Dr Berg
I will buy from you out loyalty for solving my problem.
Given my situation what other vitamin deficiencies could I have from having some of my intestine removed?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and I really mean it, he deserves it for bringing an issue which looks small but literally causes a domino effect
Dr Berg do you have any suggestions for how to eat after having recovered from small bowel obstruction surgery. Have been told fiber is not my friend anymore, and to eat a low fiber diet to help with food moving more easily through the colon to not get blockages as easily.
no one is"intolerant to gluten" just the GMO grain that has the pesticide round up or the corn that proudes the BT toxin which damages the gut lining.
Would grass-fed collagen also be beneficial?
Is it possible to get healed from IBS and Leaky Gut? or it can be only managed? I am doing this diet for 10 years now, spent hundreds of thousands on these things and didn't get healed.
Thank you so much Dr. Berg. You’re the best!!!!
Please do a video on preventing and healing diverticulosis. This is a painful and uncomfortable disease.
Yes!!
add more zinc supplement. i had read a user comment who used 75 mg of zinc and got result that felt better after it. Studies also shows zinc is the one of most important minerals on GI track repairing. but eveything is all. i mean you need to stop gluten, dairy casein, lactoz, sugars, carbs for a while. especially first 3 days of diet. add only bone broth in first 3 days of diet only by supplementing glutamin, MSM, glucosamine, 75mg zinc, some vitamin a and e and k2, 2-3 gram daily omega3, digestive enzymes just before meals, some multivitamin which contain other b vitamins and other minerals as well. you will get fast result with this. after first 3 days, slowly and one by one add others to check if you are tolared to them or not. and a note, never eat when you dont feel very hungry because it will cause more inflammation which makes the healing worsen .
Recep İvedik wow you sound like you really did your research and are attacking the problem correctly. I will try this thanks
@@oneweirdman
I am definitely going to try this. Thank you in Advance.
@@sunrae7680 any progress
SUPER ! I love the Docs explanations..I wasn't really aware the bile helps digest the nutrients and then is recycled. Thank Gob if your body works right !
Such key things to understand to functionally repair your health. Thank you!
This is a video with amazing explanation 👌🏼
and full of useful and important information! 👍🏼
Thank You! 🙏🏻
Q. Being a vegetarian, may I take Glutamine or L-Glutamine (which one) supplement instead of bone broth?
(From India).
Dr Berg please do a video on ulcerative colitis thanks🙏
Raw vegetables are cold and hard for the digestive system of us leaky gut folks - the stomach and spleen appreciate soft, warm foods. Digestion is also easier this way. See how you feel after consuming raw, cold veggies and how you feel after warm, soft veggies.
A Q Sooooo True! Thankyou!.. hardly anyone talks about this and they push Raw Veges and fruit for enzymes etc (living food).. I tried it and has made me weaker and my teeth have suffered a lot. Chinese medicine understands more about digestion and absorption and unless you are a Hot constitution it's best to limit raw foods as they are Cold & Damp. Hopefully I can pick myself up again with cooked food.🙏🏻
Awesome video, just watching it even though it’s quite old, and I am amazed how come so many Doctors didn’t understand my problem of not absorbing the bile in the small intestine and the problem can cause other problems
Thanks! One question: can damaged intestines revert back to healthy intestines? how long does it take if we follow your advice? thanks!
I would like to know this too.
Yes it can very fast if you adres allergic Things no more gluten and dairy my problem also fructose malabsorption when I was of it I was gain weight 10kg in 3 weeks Healthy weight
Jeff Eradus what did you eat to help u gain weight?
The lining in the intestines is replaced every three days. So if you are following a healing diet, younshould see improvement within days, but it will still be easy to have it revert. So stay on the diet, for Months. So you can heal it. But you can't go back to the diet that caused it.
@@drakiana8717 Thank you so much for sharing the information. Our bodies truly are beautifully divine, I appreciate your shared insight, genuinely. 🙏🏼❤
thank you so much , Dr. Berg , so much appreciated for all this information .
I wonder if Dr. Berg could give a general top 10 recommendations for health. I am gleaning a lot of information from each of the teaching videos. But it seems like a lot of information in bits and pieces. Something by way of the top 10 things to prevent health issues and maintain good health?
Dr Berg, do you recommend goat milk kefir? And a L-Glutamine powder supplement?
Anyone suffering crohn's, try:--
a breakfast shake as follows:
Mineral water
Hemp protein (bulk)
Essential Amino Acid powder
First Milk Powder (complete vitamin and mineral supplement)
Raw coconut oil
Raw honey
Ground chia seeds
Match green tea powder
Spirulina powder (small amount)
Pinch of sea salt or pink salt
Add:
Pro-biotics supplement, digestive enzymes, cod liver oil (inc vit D3),
Avoid gluten and grains until gut healed.
Once gut healed, move from juices to salad greens, lettuce, cabbage and carrot, add salt, pepper, apple cyder vinegar, lemon juice.
So you are saying that we should drink only liquid till inflammation goes down right?
@@gordonpeter1061 get fluids with diverse pro-biotics, from real fermented foods, saurkraut, kefir, yoghurt, etc. plus supplements, including non-irradiated foods. Also note, most tap water will not be possible to ferment foods, as needs to be clean mineral water. Focus on getting complete conditional essential nutrition (vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids), along with diverse pro-biotics and digestive enzymes. Pls let us know how you get on.
Max medix, bio-kult, Garden of Life, Nu U, Natures aid, quest, solgar, sevenhills, healthspan......are some good brands.

I feel like the food is passing with difficulty through the ileocecal valve.
Im gonna stick with liquids for the time being.

Great info as usual Dr. Berg! I can't take L-Glutamine because I am sensitive to MSG. L-Glutamine caused me to break out in hives for weeks, and sensitized my skin for months to outbreaks of contact dermatitis.
G. Dub l-glutamine didn't do anything for me the number of times I took it- wonder if it has helped anyone else?.. maybe a good source is better then a supplement form?
M g did you take it in capsules or powder? How much did you take
You are a man who does his homework, Dr. Berg!
Hi doctor Eric Berg!!! Can you talk about gastroparesis? Please
Dr. Berj, can you suggest some good diet for Arthritis. Thank you
Your such a life savor! Thank u always!
Most welcome! Glad it helps!
Lactic acid fermentation of cabbage should help as it pre-digests the cabbage. Live Sauerkraut, or homemade.
If I have a HUGE breakout on my skin from eating cabbage what does That tells me then? I have trouble with That acid?
you look lost.
Does cabbage need to be organic for sauerkraut?
I been watching all the videos of Dr Berg. I learned alot. Thank you Dr Berg for your Generous information.
i love cabbage but it gives me pains in my stomach, I have crohns diease and its always trial and error and what may be ok to eat one day isnt good the next . One of the questions i always get asked when im having a bad day, What did you eat?? trying to explain to someone it doesnt matter what you eat sometimes it could be the heat maybe you drank to much water that day anyting but they always like to say u ate something you know you couldnt. I think its really hard for people who dont have crohns or IBD or even IBS at times to understand us. We have to evaluate everything that would eat and drink all day long and what may seem so simple for some people isnt for us. If i want to go out on my day off i cant eat and ill go hours without eating becuase i have to doing things out of the house. I do drink apple cider vinegar everyday with water and it has helped me feel better. Im vitamin defficent i know that so i also take lots of vitamins and i went to the doc thinking everything was great but i wasnt absorbing much b12 and i took a supplement now i have to double it. anywho thank you for explain how it works with our intestine i have shown this my my friends and family so maybe they cant get a better understanding of me. =)
I have Crohn’s disease too now, after a horrible accident and a year in the hospital, lost 10 in of small intestines, and now having all kinds of problems. Gastro put me on Cimzia is this good or bad? Any help would be great appreciated!
Thanks for this information, Dr. Berg. What kind of doctor/specialist helps to identify/treat this medical issue/condition?
Thank you Dr. Berg! Do these EM1 probiotics work just as well as the high quality ones you have to keep refrigerated? I’m always skeptical of probiotics not kept in “living” condition. Thank you!
Hi Dr Berg, thank you so much. Would be wonderful if you could give a bit of an indicator in your videos of time frames for healing protocols. When battling these things one gets so discouraged and its hard to know what to expect in terms of what to hope for, when one might see results. Do I take cabbage juice for a week? Or 3 months? Do let us know, thanks for all you do. Kind regards and God bless, Helene from Denmark
You are a beautiful soul Dr Berg.
Very Happy New Year to you greetings from Australia
Please make a video about how to heal the stomach area after radiation treatment.
A friend has radiation ENTERITIS, and gastro PARESIS. Vomiting for months and it's not stopping.
How does SIBO affect one. It’s caused numerous symptoms and I’ve eliminated probiotics but what foods should I stay away from. I love potatoes and pasta, so a gluten free pasta I do use but should I do Keto to reduce carbohydrates.
WOW...A VIDEO THAT ADDRESSES THAT SOME US LACK BILE AND THEREFORE WE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DO KETO!
I OFTEN WONDERED WHY, IF HE IS SUCH A KETO ADVOCATE...WHY NOT HELP US RESOLVE THE THINGS THAT MIGHT BE OBSTACLES TO DO KETO? AND I FEEL HE DOES THAT IN THIS VIDEO..WITHOUT NECESSARILY CALLING "ITS NAME"....THANK YOU!
I wonder anything you can do for someone who had part of their intestine removed (eg the part which absorb fat) due to Crohns.
Please define "grains".
Is oatmeal bad too or corn?
Also, how cam you eat Ghee if you can't have dairy?
How can you have wheat grass if you can't have wheat?
Wow. Great presentation. Just sent the link to a friend who really needs to hear this.
EXCELLENT BERG GIVE MORE FOR INTESTINES I AM DR ASIF YOUR PRAISE
great video doctor! yes, intestines are like skin. grains, milk, sugar, overeating etc minimize is HUGE achievement. you may write a small book on this video.
keto or this healing diet means minimize tomato, beets, fruits exept some berries etc?
red fruit and red veggies may be need to minimized?
So eating pasta, bread, etc.. will hurt me or just slow down the recovery process?
@@seanmiller4559 for strong healing or severe cases the best may be almost Zero junk meals.
In severe cases, 300 gr of daily breads or pizza etc may be huge problem! If 2 tomatos or 2 carrots etc are not tolarated well enough,
Who may suggest strong coffees, pizza, breads, etc?
For small problems or good health they may be tolerated ok.
In heavy cases? They may Never healing without strong diet!
If about 200 gr oranges,tomatoes, red meat, milk, make problems,
300 gr Breads etc may be much worse! Perhaps you have not severe problems. And perhaps you may not need very severe diet. I am no doctor anyway. Also
Each case may be totally different.
@@georgebebenis2395 thank you, I appreciate your response.
Thank you Dr Berg for really useful information
What about if my damage is from atrophic gastritis and sibo?? I have very bad malabsorption and hormone imbalance. Can you please do a video on these..I’ve been sick for years and nothing really helps! HELP!
She’s a Rainbow I've been sick for years too... I don't recommend Raw vegan eating as really didn't work for me. Warm soft cooked veg/Ghee-soups soaked nuts if you eat them .. I use Hemp as my protein source as animal protein is too heavy for my digestion -has Vitamin D in it/lots omega 3 right balance. Ginger tea.. I've just recently started using 'Colostrum LD'.. a lot of people say it has saved their life from Autoimmune/leaky gut conditions. It works differently then dairy. Worth a look into.. I'm hoping it helps me fully heal. Hope this advice helps you.
Would love to see a kombucha video. Also, what is the best wheatgrass product?
I was allergic to the unfortified yeast & it triggered this issue. I figured it out & stop taking it now taking steps to heal my heal it
Is it ok to take all these synthetic vitamins
Eliminate grains - I've heard steel cut oats are good though for colitis/crohns? But could be a different time of the healing process? Or I could just be wrong.
Dr. Berg, thanks so much for your videos and your heart working to help people. The probiotics from EM you mentioned could you be more specific, I used the link but they have lots of products and I am not sure what is the one you mentioned.
Great information now I know Some of my stomach problems, thanks 🙏
What is great for incontinence? Stem cell shot, pill or procedure.
I don't know if this will help you, but I was having problems with incontinence after sneezing a lot from allergies (pollen and dust). But when I started taking large amounts of Vitamin D3, my sneezing and incontinence practically disappeared. I take a minimum of 15,000 IU's of Vitamin D3 daily (preferably with a meal). In addition to taking the Vitamin D3, I take (1) Vitamin K2/MK-7 90mcg (3 times daily) to better absorb the Vitamin D3 among the other benefits of taking Vitamin K2/MK-7. I hope this information will help you.
Sounds like one of my veggie soups is about right:
Broth with cabbage and a few diced tomatoes plus apple cider vinegar to taste, seasoned with oregano and garlic
I also like to add chopped kale to most of my soups - an alternative to juicing greens
Can you tell me what you put in your green juice which vegetables?
@@icediamonds11 My veggie soup is my low budget alternative to juicing greens. I’m not able to juice greens currently.
@@salauerman7082 which broth do you use ?
@@icediamonds11 I prefer vegetable broth but I will use either chicken or beef, depending on what’s available.
Sometimes I actually don’t use broth, just water with salt and whatever seasonings sound good…
The Apple cider vinegar (maybe 1/2 cup vinegar to 1 quart broth, whatever tastes good for the day 😁) adds a real nice zip to it, along with the juice from canned diced tomatoes.
It's considered a rare disease APECED. All tests can come back normal. The EE cells of the Small intestine are either destroyed by autoimmune or environmental (antibiotics which increase yeast overgrowth; SIBO might be first step). most Gastro docs end up diagnosing patients with IBS as that is a general way to say "WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS".
Dr berg I've been taking the apple cider vinegar and lemon everfay. when do I stop? can too much be harmful? I've done it for 1 month after 27 years of destroying my liver
I think with some water - its fine to take it long term
Than k u for answering and yes I do dilute in a cup of water. Bless u again
what he say?
TURBO Pepper y
thanks Dr Berg. how many days this diet to be followed?
It could be a while - months and even a year
Dr Berg,
Greatly appreciate your messages. 😊
I may have this exact issue. Been having diarrhea for weeks/ months.
I shall take those suggested foods and vitamins.
Meanwhile, do you have suggested medicine that can be of immediate help to stop the diarrhea and gassing?
Your most respected advise and comments is greatly appreciated.
Have you tried an elimination diet? Cut out gluten and dairy and anything else that might be inflammatory.
How long does it take to reverse leaky gut if you follow this diet? Or is this the only dirt I can follow forever?
My sister has crohns, she’s had a lot of her intestines removed. What would you recommend? Thanks.
Do capsule probiotics work or are they dead. Is sauerkraut better and does the cabbage need to be organic?
This was an awesome video... Dr Berg.. 👌👍👏👏
I have IBS and find that increasing fiber (not broccoli though) helps my condition. And steamed cabbage and cauliflower have helped tremendously. I'm also unable to process most seeds, with the exception of pumpkin, squash, and sunflower. Roma tomatoes are fine sans seeds, same with peppers. Raw greens are fine on occasion, but steamed is better.
Good point but it still could be all seeds. I realized something when I did a preparation for the scope. My body held onto flax seeds because of my condition so to know what is going on, it really depends on seeing the condition of the insides. I dont have an issue with most vegetables, it is the stuff contaminated with glycophosphate and probably most raw fruits that give me trouble. Have you ever tried Gundry diet? He said most nuts are bad except for a few. Worth a read.
Peppers supposedly have lecithins anyway.
@@darlinspaces even the seeds on breadcrust go straight through me. My gastroenterologist said that is classic IBS (seeds and water). Working on microbiome currently.
@@darlinspaces tried Gundry diet. Could not maintain it. Did a genetics test. I do not require a high carb diet like some, only moderate. So my focus is on non processed, moderate carb intake, healthy dairy and eggs, fish, and some red meat. That outline makes me feel best.
The genetics test said eat eel, mackerel, loads of greens, and butternut squash. Lol, eel? Not. Besides, it's endangered. But I do love greens of all kinds.
@@esotericsolitaire 😥
Great videos. Great presentations. Learned alot.
Mastic gum anybody? It has made a huge difference to my digestion..
Wow, you just connected all the dots for me. I struggled with the IBS-D for about two years, and now I'm on the other end of the spectrum, just like you explained here. It's literally got me tied up in knots! Can't even eat without taking digestive enzyme supplements with my meals. 😞 I've tried to make bone broth, but it tasted so gross I ended up throwing it out. I'm wondering if there are any supplements you recommend that would give similar effects? Anyone else here having the same issues?
Miz Cellaneous use l_glutamine supplement (powder). Dr.Bérg mentioned this.
Onder Guler thank you friend ☺
Er Roneous Bone Broth was gross for me too and gave me a migraine for 3 days. High in histamine I believe (chicken bones). Can also try Beef collagen powder- could be useful.
@@CatWoman6 will eating pasta bread etc, hurt me right now or will it just slow down the recovery process?
Rap College I wouldn't eat it- if it's not helping you then it's hurting you. Gluten /wheat etc is the worst food to eat.
This is my problem😢 thankyou!✌👊✊😎
Love your program always... I drink alot of cultured milk and blue cheese is that. Good or not... I live alone and find it stressful to cook for myself.. Pls advise
This is very helpful Dr.Berg. What's the right test to diagnose one of these conditions? I've got all blood tests done (TTG, IgA, G, M, LFT, TSH, CRP) and the results are negative.
Ha ha! 😁
I too have got all these tests done. All came negative!
And the problem still persists, and suffering continues.
Get your nutrients tests done. Have you stopped gluten and sugar? There’s something in your food.
How are you doing now?
Thank You Dr. Berg, I've recently been addicted to you channel :-). I've a long persistent Gastritis (confirmed twice in UGE), And that's the reason I'm on PPI's for a very long time (2 years+), Do you think I should go for the Gall Bladder Formula? I'was going to buy one so thought about confirming with you first.
