A Simple & Effective Leaky Gut Repair Protocol

In this episode, scientific proof comes to light about what works for a leaky gut repair. Leaky gut is when the tight junctions between the cells that line your small intestine loosen. This allows bacterial fragments and undigested food particles to enter your bloodstream, potentially causing an unwanted immune response.
When the immune response is heightened, there’s a greater chance for chronic inflammation to occur, causing symptoms like diarrhea, brain fog, joint pain, and fatigue.
This is where probiotics can come into play to help calm down the immune response and heal leaky gut. Listen to the episode to hear what kind of probiotics to use and how often to take them to improve your gut health.

Leaky gut is real and a total misery. Almost 40 and realised how much it has robbed me of life from the chronic fatigue to brain fog and night time itching but doctors always say it's not worth investigating. Only made the possible connection to my gut over the last few years and now I've decided to eliminate processed foods and unnecessary sugar from my diet and adding probiotics daily. Hope it gets better in a few months!

In the last 5 years I tried to introduce probiotics numerous times, always felt bad on it and stopped soon after. Recently I learned that they were all using inulin as a prebiotic and that I generally don't do well with inulin (onions ruin my sleep for example). I have tried a brand that uses acacia fiber as prebiotic and to my surprise all of the probiotic benefits that I read about are finally there for me as well. All to say, if you dont see desired results, it might not be the bacteria strains failing you.

They say madness is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. Well, having tried all kinds of anti microbials, the low fodmap diet, DIY semi-elemental formulas, antibiotics, various prokinetics - you name it - with only fleeting sucess - I realised maybe I have leaky gut rather than Sibo/Sifo (I had tested positive for SIBO in the past, but not always, yet the bloating and inflammation continued even on a negative result). This has been going on since experiencing food poisoning 4 years ago :(( Initially I had been put off trying probiotics (by one leading expert's warnings about them), but I realised I needed a new approach. L Glutamine definitely helped, digestive emzymes and betaine+pepsin in my case too, but the biggest surprise has been the probiotics. I'm so glad people like you are here Dr Ruscio, thank you. I am hoping I won't need to continue Resolor/Prucalopride (way too expensive here in Spain but Iberogast is in short supply and only in 20ml bottles), so I will experiment with herbal alternatives. Good luck to everyone out there - perserverence pays off!

Just WOW! I just subscribed to your channel. Your video is one of very few I have seen that really resonates with me. Your research is very informative and I will be bringing this and the articles you mentioned to the attention of my Pulmonologist. I was diagnosed with “Asthma” last year at the age of 41. I have gut issues, brain fog, severe fatigue. This lung inflammation is the WORST tho! I haven’t been able to sleep in my bedroom with my husband for almost a year because of my constant, chronic coughing! The in-hailer that was prescribed doesn’t work. I’m afraid I have something called Esosinophilic Asthma or pneumonia, which would require a shot versus an in-hailer. I don’t know if you are familiar with the GAPS diet, but I tried that twice and lost so much weight that I didn’t need to lose that I looked emaciated! Never again! However, the meat stock that is emphasized the most in this diet is supposed to help heal and seal the gut lining. I am thinking of maybe at least incorporating that back into my diet. I eat all organic, no processed foods. I cannot eat anything high in histamine, no dairy, no grains, no caffeine. I’m pretty much just eating meat, veg and some fruit. I have so many food allergies/sensitivities. I have been taking a probiotic for almost 2 years with no noticeable results! Must be the wrong Probiotic, because I noticed the other day that it has milk and soy in it!!! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Can you tell me why you only take the Probiotics you mentioned for 2-3 months? What should I do after that time? Thank you for sharing this VERY valuable information! ❤

[@snowball1465]

The idea is that the probiotics taken over a 2 to 3 month period will heal the gut. Hopefully, after that, you've established a healthy population of the bacteria and further supplementation would not be necessary. Try taking NAC for your lung inflammation.

[@leannshort2211]

@@snowball1465 Thank you! I have actually been taking Liposomal Glutathione for the past 3 months. I read that it works better for some over NAC. Plus I have a methylation issue so I think the LG works better. However, I have figured out that the root cause to my systemic health problems are my root canals and Wisdom teeth cavitations. I have been working with a biological dentist, who will be pulling the root canals and cleaning out the wisdom tooth cavitations. Read up on it and you’ll discover how awful the dental field has done us! Read about RANTES in jawbone cavitations. Dr. Johann Lechner is a very wise Dr/Biological Dentist who teaches about these dangers. He has a bunch of videos on this topic. Very important for people to know this!

Thank you Doctor, i agree with everything you say except the stool test part. I developed very aggressive H-Pylori in the gut in 2020 which leaked into my blood stream due to leaky gut and started attacking my heart- i almost died but thank God my GP (family Dr in the USA) had suspicions and she ordered a stool test. The test showed my infection, i was put on a couple of powerful antibiotics and my heart palpitations stopped instantly! I had leaky gut due to a bad diet and chronic stress at work. Stool tests certainly work as part of a diagnostic process to work out what is causing leaky gut in the first instance.

[@DrRuscioDC]

Great question. And I'll have a video out soon that touches on this in more detail, but essentially probiotics (even ones with histamine) will have an overall histamine lowering effect. However, if you really want to avoid anything with histamine you might want to avoid these strains: Lactobacillus bulgaricus Lactobacillus casei S. thermophilus Lactobacillus delbrueckii Fortunately, there's a lot of other strains available so it shouldn't be too limiting. I even have one in the shop you can check out: store.drruscio.com/products/sacchromyces-boulardii-probiotic Hope that helps!

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with symptoms. I hope the new approach works well for you! If you ever need additional help, you can always work with us at the clinic or even our health coach. :)

Check out L-Glutamine. Low sodium organic beef and chicken bone broth. Moringa powder, matcha powder, wheat grass powder and warm lemon water.

I stopped eating nuts and it made my psoriasis 99% better

Hey I recommend the carnivore diet and bpc-157. Healed me

[@killianokeeffe7113]

Vegetable and meat diet cured my psoriasis and very low carbs if any

[@pattysmallwood2408]

Thank you for these videos. I would like to know your take on Dr. William Davis’s fermented dairy or “yogurt” protocols. Lactobacillus Reuteri and Supergut SIBO yogurts. If you are familiar with them. Thank you!

[@DrRuscioDC]

Yogurt is a great place to start. I haven't found one strain to be more effective than another. More to come on this on our channel.

[@Hxp0000]

the study came to the conclusion that it depends on the duration if stool zonulin measurably decreases or not. you should take probiotics longer than 6 weeks then you might see a decrease in stool zonulin as well.

Doctor, if I introduce probiotics/kefir/greek yoghurt into my already leaky gut the histamines released gives me itches throughout my body. Would it not be better if I healed my leaky gut with butyric acid (large intestine), glutamine (small intestine) & stop eating gluten 1st b4 introducing those beneficial bacteria 2 my gut. Else it's just going 2 enter my bloodstream & cause histamine overload !!! Itching everywhere !!! Please confirm that my explanation is correct doctor... cos this is just my assumption... need clarity !

[@romartcanda2905]

How about fasting?

[@lmo8366]

Thank you for this video! I am doing food-sourced probiotic: kefir, lacto-fermented veg, and some cultured (greek strain) cream. I am 2 months into the soil-based and 1 from the dairy ferments. Seeing improvement but looking for the source of relapse in some symptoms.

[@sethtouchet511]

Excellent and informative video. However, as someone who has had leaky gut in the past, I began to experience immune reactivity to probiotics that I used consistently over time. I suspect that these helpful bacteria were getting into the bloodstream and triggering inflammation. It would seem that doing a reparative protocol first would be a better approach. I’m fact, this is what I ended up doing and it worked. Just my two cents. What say you?

[@mj8495]

What was your reparative protocol?

[@romasplace1]

More than interested in your expericence and would be so grateful if you would share your protocol with me? 🙏

[@natasha09179]

Did you fast long-term?

[@sailuvijl6621]

May i know what u did

[@godloves9163]

Would be nice to hear about the reparative protocol used for leaky gut.

[@ragidyman9551]

I'm surprised you didn't mention fasting

Maybe... I don't think its quite that consolidated for all people. For some, yes, I would agree brain-gut is implicated. For others I see the gut-brain being the primary area to focus on.

[@Finland.Travels]

LGG kefir and running very good to lower pain sensitivity.

[@mariamorenavicente]

Hey dr! What we should look when buying a l-gltamine powder supplement?

[@joanneclark8256]

Thoughts on parasites cleanses...many doing Would love your input on that cause many lm saying many showing parasites and chronic

[@movingforward06]

Amazing

[@jaymills1720]

Soil based was never mentioned in either study linked? And no protocol was listed either ?

[@englishliterature6056]

I'm taking beet kanji...it is awesome and after one week till now no side effects

[@Hawaiigirl128]

Hi Dr. Great video and information 😊 should we also be taking a prebiotic with our probiotics ? And is there anything else you can suggest my symptoms are extreme bloating after eating Anything!!! 😢😢😢 l do suffer from Hashimoto's that's all l know. Would so appreciate your help 😊Oh and lastly where can we get your probiotics please 😊

[@wric01]

Caprylic acid with meals. Nothing else works better for ibs or gut pain healing and restore bowl movements. Keeps killing off inflammation causing factors:fungi bacteria in gut.

[@epicgames8497]

That is great to kill Candida

[@d.wright3581]

Is fasting helpful in healing leaky gut?

[@jacoblas1371]

Can two alcohol binge sessions cause leaky gut? All symptoms started after two alcohol binge sessions on a mostly empty stomach. I had intense burning in my stomach after drinking and reflux. I also started to develop rashes on my arms, sweating and sinus congestion.

[@rossstevens6165]

That's an interesting length of time to heal leaky gut with probiotics. Wasn't that the same time period where probiotics benefits maximized when treating mood disorders in your other leaky gut video?

[@ConnieWilliams-dn6oc]

Great info!!! I have SIBO and leaky gut. My SIBO is chronic so I must take Xifaxin every once in a while. What is your protocol for taking probiotics with Xifaxin, Flagyl and Antimicrobials such as Oregano and Allicin?

[@DrRuscioDC]

You can often take probiotics with antibiotics. In fact, there's data to suggest that it helps maintain the gut microbiome during a course of antibiotics. I'll link an article here that I have about this: drruscio.com/taking-probiotics-with-antibiotics/ Of course, you can also run the idea by your doctor to be sure. Hope that helps!

[@tamarahollenbeck2988]

I've always taken probiotics, but recently had some troubling gut issues. Doctors only want to run $$$ tests to no avail. I did my research and added a 6oz glass of fresh Barley water and a tablespoon of goat colostrum; started feeling much better in JUST 3 weeks,w/o drugs.

[@little_miss_vintage]

How can I get a serum zonulin test? I feel like my drs will not order it

[@rauccigina]

Hi Dr Rus io I'm in Australia usually listen to your podcast I'm coeliac genetic was diagnosed with cronic lymphatic inflammation around 6years ago caused by undiagnosed coeliac I'm intollerant to lots of foods and also have sibo unable to digest proteins hard to shift things not getting much relief would you have any suggestions please thanks Gina

[@serenawood6991]

Same. I don't have any GI symptoms but horrible brain fog and fatigue after eating. I have a problem with CIRS from mold exposure. It been going on for years so I have no detectable MSH. I have been doing a healthy keto diet for a decade so I feel like that saved me from disbiosis but the permeability seems pretty extreme. The only thing that I don't react to right now is meat... curious what you think about CIRS.
