I only gave my daughter plain yogurt until she started noticing that other kids had fruit flavoured yogurt. We now buy plain yogurt and put our own "jam" in it. This jam is just crushed berries with no sugar, but it does make the yogurt taste better and make my kid feel less left out.

I kept asking my Dr’s what is on my tongue? I brush it, scrape it and it has gotten a little better since I had the treatments 2 yrs ago, but when I eat sugar or dairy it flares up again. My oncologist said it was chemo tongue. I was on a feeding tube for 20 months and only consumed Kate farms thru a peg. I’m going to take this info and try and cure whatever is on my tongue.

Which probiotic are you taking

[@alanacreates]

@airesnelsonc137 Yes, SIBO Diet = Low FODMAP. But I also have Histamine Intolerance, and many HI Diet yes foods are LF no foods, and vice versa. Then when you remove the high carb foods... it has become the most restrictive thing I've ever done! I have never felt restricted on high-veg clean keto... there are SO many options and substitutes and recipes available... that is sustainable for life for me... but THIS mixed diet is very hard and I'm glad it is only for a few months. Then I can start testing to add other foods back in. HOWEVER - I can see it is worth it with fewer and fewer occurrences of less severe symptoms. so I'm sticking with it and persevering!

[@alanacreates]

@Xoxo-kj4vy As per Dr Ruscio's chart in half his videos... a Lacto/Bifido Blend (like 90%of probiotics bottles out there... but if you have Histamine Intolerance, look up "Seeking Health" who has list of probiotics that are Histamine Liberators! L. Casei is a repeat offender in most blends!) and Saccharomyces Boulardii and the one soil based that I can find in Canada (see Dr R website for list of options) is Bacillus Coagulans (beware, most brands add Maltitol! no TY!) ... and then as a bonus, I also added L. Reuteri because everyone else I've learned from on this topic recommends that one for SIBO.

[@JamieR]

Thanks for these videos, Dr. Michael. I have one question, which I hope you could cover in a future video: What about Oxalates? SIFO & Candida can cause a lot of oxalate as a byproduct---if the overgrowth is severe---and with heavy leaky gut it's easy to absorb high amounts of the oxalates from these plant foods. Causing a double whammy. Especially if the diet is higher in oils and lower in calcium. Would love to know how to navigate this. Also, what's your take on no-plant GAPS to rebuild gut after years of dysbiosis, mold / CIRS, CPTSD etc? Would love a look into that diet on your channel. Seems to be helpful for those of us who just can't move the needle and react to so much---besides doing Primal Trust and other limbic retraining. I want to add that Elemental Diet is what caused my severe SIFO overgrowth. So we got to be careful aproaching this. It only beame a problem over time with prolonged use, as oral thrush developed and it began spreading to throat etc.

Is the carnivore diet also considered an "elemental diet"?

[@DrRuscioDC]

Hi there! The carnivore diet isn’t an elemental diet, but can be considered a very strict type of elimination diet. An elemental diet is different from an elimination diet, because, rather than whole foods, it involves a person consuming only a highly digestible/pre-digested medical food replacement formula for the duration of therapy.

[@sitoh382]

[@Yvefutura]

What if the vitamins in the carnivore diet are the same in the powders and the carnivore diet is low key the elemental diet in nature?

[@DrRuscioDC]

@@YvefuturaHi there! It’s still not an elemental diet. An elemental diet formula consists of pre-digested nutrients, amino acids, simple carbohydrates. Think of it as the base components, or “elements,” of food. It’s a specific, special formulation. So, while a carnivore diet can be a very effective elimination diet, and the foods included in it may be nutrient-dense, it simply isn’t the same thing.

[@qorimayu]

Doc, you were kind enough to answer my question the other day regarding probiotics and pure carnivore (no plant fibre), but just to confirm, is there a benefit to taking probiotics in such a context or do they always need pre-biotic plant fibre substrate to have any positive effect? 🙏

Hi there! Probiotics tend to work best with prebiotics, but they can work and are still worth trialing on their own. You might also be able to use prebiotic dietary supplements if they fit in with your diet vs prebiotic foods.

Raw, unfiltered honey is a superfood. Odd to hear a doctor recommending someone stay away from that. I can understand maybe for a very short time.
