I dont SIBO protocol but not sucsess quite yet. Diet and supplements help but tested positive for parasite giardia after food poison. Any idea how to Get rid of it ?? Quite a few on SIBO Facebook group Also have this issue . We Need help and we are many !!! My stool had become fatty and loose the last 5 mounths and i heard giardia lives hanging out in the gallbladder . Please a vsmideo for us ????

[@BelenAyala]

@sunshinejansen85 Hi giardia is also in small intestine and that case you need antibiotic anda antiparisite and in USA you need a doctor But I have seen that many doctors don't believe and they don't Know about parasites Send a mail to Dr.Ruccio

Dr Ruscio I've been hospitalized with c -diff infectoin . They were the big guns. Got a fungal mouth infection So treat Niastatin oral swish and Acycloviar I've been here at a Rehab have much improved. I"ve been watching your videos all morning. By the way it was Selmanela. I'm interested to know your recommendation for I'm excited for your responce. Thank you.

[@shinjiri123]

You are so kind on how you phrase "please don't eat this". I love that you don't say "DON'T DO IT" because out of human nature, that's just hard to accept. Especially because people around me don't seem to care or be affected by eating these foods, and I always become so sad I, alone, have to say no. It's very hard. But listening to you I can actually feel myself realize why impulse eating is terrible for me and that I should be more resilient. Thank you so much!

Absolutely agree with the reference to gluten and lactose,as i now cannot tolerate gluten however i have improved my gut microbiom and now can tolarate low lactose items like cheese and yoghurt, too nervous to try milk! Because ive been gluten intolerant for sooo long (30 years) and was unaware, i don't think i will ever be able to tolareate it again. But then not eating bread, pasta etc keeps me super thin!!

Really a BIG help .with an IBS flare up that has taken almost two weeks to get to the beginning of normalcy. I am on the low FODMAP, and can see where I've eaten many of the high FODMAP foods previously that could have caused my SIBO. I really feel confident about this healing process and the ability to get back to a norm. I really appreciate your stressing moderation in a diet, so social life isn't harmed and diet variety is possible. I'm a new sub and look very forward to more of your videos.Thank You.

[@Danielle_1234]

An important note about tap water filters: Most tap water filters do not filter out much or any bacteria, fungi, or other things you want to remove out of the water when you've got gut issues. Tap water filters reduce the minerals in the water, which usually isn't an issue unless they're in very high amounts, though it does make the water taste better. Unless you're paying $300 for a home reverse osmosis filter on your counter top, if you suspect tap water is an issue, buy bottled water.

So. Million dollar question.... What do U eat?? Because im struggling here with histamine intolerance Hives bloat reflux etc. If anyone has a food list plz post

[@deb4610]

Histamine intolerance is the worst! I’m struggling too. All the “low histamine” diets are different. I think you kinda have to figure it out yourself. I’m down to just meat, eggs, vegetables. It’s very difficult. Good luck. Hang in there!

[@DrRuscioDC]

Low histamine dieting can help. I'd also consider probiotics and antimicrobials, to improve histamine tolerance. Check with your healthcare provider first.

[@DrRuscioDC]

See comment below, regarding what I eat, no specific plan. I did low histamine for a short while, when I was eating quite a high histamine intake.

I have celiac and just finished my round of Xifaxan for SIBO. Really surprised me that within three days I was feeling more energetic and had less brain fog and splatter diarrhea. I also lost 8 pounds in the first six days. Started my probiotic today and trying to eat low FODMAP. I do not drink and avoid gluten like it is poison so do not understand my having SIBO.

xylitol great for my teeth, not so much for my gut. I was poisoned by fungus in soy creamer last year.

[@socratese5]

Some advice for people who successfully heal their gut and want to reintroduce gluten dairy etc into their diet, be careful what kinds of products you use For example: if you go back to the commercially produced mainstream wheat, then you will start to have problems again due to the chemicals they use in production such as glyphosate, pesticides etc, which will harm the gut again and get you back on the cycle of having to heal your gut again. If you notice people who can’t normally eat too much wheat in the US go to Europe and they eat pasta bread etc and they don’t feel the negative side effects they normally do due to the difference in European production. Try to stick to minimally process organic products. Also avoid tap water because it has chlorine in it which is obviously not healthy for the gut microbiome. Edit just saw that he mentioned the tap water in the video at the end, 👍

[@shantinaturechild3239]

I live in France and even organic grains including oats and quinoa are lethal. You're just even worse off in the USA with the added glyphosate. But there's plenty in Europe too! It's a myth that people are healthy here and can eat junk grains and dairy at will!

[@btudrus]

People who successfully healed their leaky gut eat carnivore....

[@kimlizotte694]

Great response! A couple of years ago I went total wheat free and reintroduced meat back into my diet - my brain fog, my CRS (can't remember shit), my confusion & bad mood went away in 6 weeks PLUS about 40 lbs went away too. I would eat wheat products rarely and was okay, kept losing weight, but the minute I ate wheat frequently, half the weight came back and so did the confusion & CRS

Love your videos, they strike the right balance between information, education and simplicity. Just don't understand why the medical community is so reluctant to say alcohol should be avoided.

I absolutely agree with your comments regarding alcohol. I have a very clear limit so far as my stomach is concerned.

As for vegies, beets , brussel sprouts ,spinach, asparagus, broccoli , carrots red onions and various mushrooms . No alcohol, no smoking marijuana or anything. Exercise and weight lifting every day makes my anxiety lessen. I sill have some but it's getting better. I might try taking out some vegies like the broccoli and asparagus .

Aspartame is just two amino acids fused together by a chemical reaction. Aspartic acid and Phenylalanine. These aminos are found in many healthy foods. You will get these aminos acids in your food no matter if you choose to avoid aspartame or not. Aspartic acid is a nonessential amino acid, meaning that it is made naturally in the body and doesn't need to be consumed in foods. Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid to make proteins and other vital molecules such as neurotransmitters and hormones. As a crucial amino-acid, phenylalanine must be acquired through protein in the diet, though it can also be consumed as a dietary supplement.

I was 48 KG now 44 & some days 43 Kg. Some Dr. On the web say 3 to 4 tbs coconut oil, some say kefir, plain yogurt, vinegar, grip fruit and some say opposite. Bottom line I am not completely health.

I am so glad that you brought up the research on dairy and gluten, because of the way people act you would think the whole world can’t eat these foods. I even did a research into Genetics and when it came to dairy at the most 50% don’t have the dna to digest lactose but the other 50% do. And I happen to be in the tolerant 50% and as far as gluten goes absolutely thank you so much for bringing that up because wheat does not bother me at all. It might be a carbohydrate, but it doesn’t bother me if anything my Gut likes it.

I think once you develop leaky gut you’re more susceptible to parasites, as people with leaky gut tend to have low stomach acid. The stomach acid is what kills the parasites before they can cause damage. Leaky gut can be caused by various things such as but not limited to - stress, highly processed diet, high carb diet, concussion.

Good information, but until we the people address the REAL problem underlying all of these food problems, I won't feel too hopeful. Our natural wheat has been hybridized five times since World War Two until the gluten strength is now off the charts, not to mention all of the nutrients have been processed out of it. Meat and poultry are being poisoned with lousy feed and pharmaceuticals like hormones and antibiotics which affect everything including all dairy. Pesticides and GMOs across the board in fruits and vegetables. We people now have to pay triple to try and get something called "organic" Try feeding a family this way. I'm in my mid 70s and sure didn't grow up this way, and never saw any of these gut/food problems in anyone, nor allergies in children.
