Thank you so much. Doing just one type of probiotics (bifido only) has really helpled me get started and now I can go from here. God bless you Dr Ruscio!

[@EttaMurphy-n5b]

Thanks doc I have been researching my own protocol cause my doctor has no idea about Sibo prebiotic and oil of oregano has been resolving my symptoms. Thanks hope people who are suffering with sibo are listening to your advice

[@lukeallison88]

Prebiotic or probiotic?

[@notaras1985]

Which probiotics do you take and how many hours apart from the oil oregano 😊

[@DrRuscioDC]

I’m so happy to hear your symptoms have been resolving! I hope and wish all the healing in the world for you.

[@kathleen9456]

After years of suffering I used Allimed and oregano oil, along with low carb, no sugar to get rid of mine.

[@BigScaryJoe]

That sounds promising! I'm glad it's working for you. How much do you take and at what frequency?

[@lurid13]

Thank you, Dr. Ruscio. Your channel is an invaluable resource for me in my long struggle with digestive issues. I really appreciate your dedication, accuracy as well as calm and well-structured presentation of the information. Even simply listening to you is grounding and reassuring. I’ve been dealing with IBS, GERD and gallbladder problems (polyp, sludge, inflection) for many years. Sadly, none of the many doctors I’ve worked with had the comprehensive approach like yours, and I’m still far from unraveling the tangle of my health problems. But your work gives me hope. Watching you from a different and much more troublesome part of the world, I want to thank you for openly sharing your knowledge and empowering people like me to improve their health. I hope to see you cover more topics related to gallbladder and stomach health, just as you’ve helped me understand my gut. Keep up your great job!

[@DrRuscioDC]

I’m so so sorry you’ve been struggling with such terrible health problems, and I’m so happy - and grateful - to be able to help you. People like you are the reason we do this.

So much great info. Thank you! I still think gentle,at home, distilled water enemas jump started my recovery from whatever gut/liver issues I had going on, as well as brain issues (depression with suicidal ideation), mitochondria dysfunction (chronic fatigue, hypoglycemia). Wow, I was such a mess 1 yr ago, but with people like you on KZbin, I have taught myself what to do and feel so much better. Lost 25 lbs. I had to go with probiotics that do not raise histamine. So I take s. boul, b subtilus, b coagulan

i HAD LYME, MOLD, CANDIDA, AND SIBO all at once! I had to do herbals and nutrition/digestion/stress support before I could tolerate a bifido only probiotic. Herbs helped so much along with probiotics.

I needed to do broad spectrum which those three products are. For severe die off added collagen in the morning to help repair the leaky gun and I would take activated charcoal or even better bentonite clay one hour after the herbal with my meal to absorb all of the toxins before they enter bloodstream.

Candibactin BR and oregano oil for most of a very dark year got me to where I could eat without torment. Still very limited and occasionally underweight but not in torment stage. Low histamine was key for me. Probiotics were a nightmare even “no histamine” ones. My reaction to them were so bad I will probably never try them again. Cinnamon was definitely a no. Thank God for candibactin br, oregano oil, and loads of necessary fasting. I cheer everyone on in their own journey to heal.

[@chrisgrui1993]

Good luck. i ma on the same journey. I was doing great but had a relaps because i started drinking and eating again wat was bad for me. The first time i "fixed" it I was eating keto / carnivore. But i never heald my gut. I had always had problems with histamines. This time I want to heal. Hang in there!

[@CalmVibesVee]

@@chrisgrui1993ancestral Supplements Kidney formula and a quercetin helps manage my histamines also low histamine diet. I also couldn’t eat grocery store meat. I bought from a local ranch that never got anything but grass, no drugs either. So many things have high histamines. Citric acid , bone broth, condiments, etc

Thanks Doc, I’m suffering heavy digestive upset - SIBO / Candida & from what I believe to be: low HCL, which I will again try betaine HCL & a tbs of ACV before main meals (especially protein). Today I had a colonoscopy & no polyps or more importantly - cancer. Thanks very much for your informative videos which are extremely insightful / helpful to us sufferers. I will be next trying the combinations of microbial - herbal extracts in accordance with low dosage antibiotics partnered with low FODMAP or even low fermentation diet + prokinetics.

[@EJ257IHI]

Candida will be detected in a GI Stool test and/or in the Oats test. At the same time, the GI Stool can point levels/types of bacteria and can suggest SIBO testing.

[@BigScaryJoe]

Really appreciate your videos. Is there somewhere I can find out more about the blend of oils? I'd like to know how much of each oil and at what frequency it is taken.

[@BigScaryJoe]

Also, I'm wondering if it is actually just the four oils mentioned in the video or if that was an abbreviation, as I see in one of the cited references from your video that many other herbs were used in on trial.

[@patmorin7124]

Very informative, I’m currently taking Candikill and artichoke and ginger supplements as recommended by a RD. Have you any experience with Candikill? Trying to avoid antibiotics but not opposed to them. She also has me on a two week food plan of only protein and cooked vegetables. Does this plan make sense to you? Thank you!

Good Information. Recovering from a SIBO attack as we speak. Why add Glutamine? What is the benefit?

[@exosproudmamabear558]

Changes to what you need truth be told. If you got sibo because of inflamation(such as autoimmune disorders covid etc )dont take it it helps brain to produce more glutamate causing more immune system activation and inflamation. But if you have leaky gut and immune deficiency it will help protection gut lining and increase your immune system

[@EJ257IHI]

I tried it and it caused me a ton of gas, although my bloating went away so it could be die off reactions. My weight shot up too but I'm not sure if it's because of the dairy or the SIBO itself.

[@kathyterese7054]

Hi Doctor, question -- if I feel the need to add herbal antimicrobials, would you suggest continuing with probiotics at the same time? In other words, would the anti-microbials kill off the probiotics, or do we need not worry about that? Thanks for your videos, they are awesome!

[@chaymaem1658]

How do you treat the vector-bourbe microbes? Thank you in advance for your answer.

[@lanahabash3627]

Thank you for this valuable video. I have two part questions 1- at what point of time do we take probiotics while we are going through the remedy’s of killing sibo ? 2-do you have any information for the reason why would pancreatic enzyme become super low to were you start having bad pain while eating when you have sibo? I’m treating as we speak on refaxmine and oregano oil and had done protein diet two weeks prior to hit it with antibiotics. Still on protein and one vegetable every two days.i love your video to add more herbs. I just not sure at what point I can introduce probiotics, does it have to be specific to the probiotic and the video just those two strands because I have custom probiotic made with 11 strengths that does have those two in it or OK to use ?thank you so much

[@ut2protocol]

I think of there is a regression of sibo then weight has a lot to do with it or other environmental factors. But from my experience there could be an issue with low ileocecal valve pressure.

I have histamine intolerance most likely as a result of SIBO. My guess is to add in probiotics after doing anti microbials for some time, and not too early?

[@DrRuscioDC]

It’s usually okay to take probiotics and antimicrobials simultaneously (spacing them out by a few hours at least), but “repopulating” with probiotics after your course of antimicrobials is generally helpful too. You probably already know this, but I’d recommend supplements over probiotic foods if you’re histamine intolerant - most supplements should be tolerable, though

[@asifadnanami416]

Sir, I am from a rural village of Bangladesh. No medical service or test available in here. But what I felt that, I have severe gastritis by acv test. Also, my liver function is weak, I found out that, my stool is floating and fat are not digested. Also, I can't digest vegetables, It came out as it was eaten. Also, I have continuous pain in lower abdomen and lower back and rectal tenesmus. I am doing IF 16:8, eating 2 meals a day. Avoiding fibers and taking rifaximin 550 once per day. It seems working but really slowly. What can I add more to maximize my recovery?

[@mariamansour8445]

Hello dr. I have both inflammation(high IgA) and dysbiosis and I’m supposed to get tested for SIBO but I don’t the think i can wait because it’s fully booked and I’m traveling. I also have done colonoscopy and ive been diagnosed with colitis. My question is do i start the anti microbial therapy along with leaky gut protocol and just not get tested? And if i get started i just don’t know how to start therapy to be honest since probiotics made me feel super bloated before all of the diagnosis. Thank you

[@mariamansour8445]

Also dr you mentioned vector-borne diseases might be the cause if symptoms are not resolving. My question is how do i know and how do i treat them? Because i honestly also do have generalized symptoms like severe acne, joint pain and brain fog. 😊

[@stephensheridan9889]

Are there any similar studies out for hydrogen based SIBO. I tested for both Hydrogen and Methane. Now the test shows that I tackled methane with Metrodonizole and another antibiotic that I can't quite remember... but still have hydrogen (latest test). Any guidance? Might I go this route for hydrogen?

[@Crystyna03]

Why are you still talking about Neomycin? It has been forbidden as an oral antibiotic because of its side effects! We can't get it in Europe, is it available in the US?

[@exosproudmamabear558]

I think glutamine shouldnt be used by everyone. It is precursor of glutamate if you have mcas,histamine intolerance or inflamation it will cause issues. Especially for long covid patients and autoimmune disorders it should be aproached carefully. Dame for those herbs some of them boosts immune systems and cause inflamation soyou should choose carefully what to take if you have more than one issue to tackle.

[@alanacreates]

question about reintroducing foods... is that really recommended if SIBO symptoms have not resolved yet? wouldn't that cause a flare-up? I've been low fodmap & low histamine with probiotic therapy for +/- 3 months. Added Glutamine 2 months ago. All symptoms have reduced occurrences at reduced severity... but certainly not gone. At a loss of what to do next...

[@alanacreates]

and does your answer change depending on type of SIBO or type of test? Breathe test with Lactulose showed Methogenic SIBO, which I hear is the harder one to get rid of, and easiest to relapse.

[@MonaLisa-ww3ys]

My daughter is doing much better, and here I'm talking about her weight and improved muscle mass mostly. Her maintenance plan, no matter her symptoms, always now includes a 50m probiotic blend, which includes vitamins B6 and 12, D3, 1.3 beta-glucans, vit C, A, E, D3, Folic acid, Zinc AAC, Selenium AAC, Ferrous fumerate, Biotin, an enzyme blend, garlic powder, elderberry extract and echinacea extract. I had her on MSM for two weeks, us both, but I'm not sure about what improvements we are supposed to be looking out for. Therefore, we have stopped. Occasionally, I put her on extra vitamin D3 with dolomite, near her periods. She does not complain about period pains that much anymore. So, one can say that she has the average amount of discomfort girls encounter during that time. Her acne is the most recurrent theme, so using that as a SIBO positive cue, SIBO is still active, but she loves Kit Kat types of chocolates, especially near her periods, so, having too many of them before her periods really flares her acne. Curcumin and tea tree oil calms it down again. I've been doing a Himalayan salt rub with coconut oil on her body, too, especially on her back and shoulders with a wonderful effect. I'm doing it on my arms too, and now they are smooth and silky, too. No more rashes on the back of my arms, so my SIBO has calmed down, too. I still have a bad reaction to gluten in the form of reflux, but we both handle it better now. I still am scared to eat it, though. 👻 Cognitively, I still have a slight decline in functioning where it feels like I have a Jiffy Wrapped brain a day or two after eating it. 😮😊
