I'm glad the connection's between gut health and chronic health issues are arising.

[@Swearengen1980]

"Stress" is the most irritating thing I constantly see/hear listed. First, it's listed in every list for every problem in every location possible. Then people act like stress is something you can just eliminate from your life like carbs. You can exercise, meditate, pray, whatever and that's often not enough to eliminate or even reduce stress. Telling people to get rid of stress is like telling an alcoholic, "well just don't drink". I workout and go on walks, hiking in the woods, camping, all kinds of stuff and it makes no difference in how internally strung I am or helping my brain to shut off. The effect fades within a very short period of stopping. The #1 thing I think I've never seen mentioned regarding poor sleep is a big issue with many people that go undiagnosed until far too late: sleep apnea. Everyone mentions the same things you did and no one ever suggests, when those don't work, to get a sleep study done. That aside, as far as a bad gut...only 1 thing worked for me when all of this failed as I did trial and error over years: The carnivore diet. 100% perfect bowels and no acid reflux. It was just a mental asswhip to eat that way. I accepted an ok gut to eat vegetables and carbs (potatoes, beans) again. Fiber is still my enemy.

[@davidg241]

I’m doing carnivore now. Been two days, my stomach pains are still present however they have lessened. I don’t feel bloated or gassy, I haven’t taken a solid dump in the last two days either , just minor but I feel like trying to eat vegetables and other stuff is gonna bloat the heck out of me and make things worse. I have back pains all over as well but it’s much more tolerable in the last two days. Working on sleeping better without a gummy. Currently trying to find something I can add to the carnivore diet that will help me use the bathroom better. Fiber foods seem to make me feel worse so I need to find something else to help. But so far I’m eating two meals (breakfast, later lunch). I try to stop around 6 pm so I can let my gut settle and do its things. So far it’s a slow process but the pain in my stomach and back and also the brain fog I been having seems to be slowly going. Crossing fingers 🙏🏼 and I pray a lot lol cheers

[@davidg241]

Also, this burning sensation in my upper throat when I burp has been a bit worse since carnivore. Not sure how to get rid of it

[@Swearengen1980]

@@davidg241 It's a very slow process. Why do people think completely changing your diet is going to happen in a few days? Many people report terrible diarrhea for the first week. It can take a month to rebalance your body. You don't need to add anything, just suck it up and let nature run its course. If it's not better in 2 weeks, your ratio may be wrong. I didn't do good on a super high fat diet like some of the channels suggest and I put in more lean meat. The same ratios don't work for everyone despite what these channels try to sell you. I'm also the same in that fiber wrecks me. On carnivore or not, I avoid unnecessary fiber.

[@Killerbee67]

Hi! Great video! I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis in 2019. I completely changed my diet and also did a zoomer on leaky gut and everything I was allergic too. It’s been a long process but last year I was told by my rheumatologist that my inflammation markers were all normal and I did not have RA any longer. I’m 56 and never have beer healthier. I will never eat gluten again…or any processed foods. I also buy my meat from a special farm that animals are treated humanely and not feed antibiotics or corn. I just did another wheat zoomer last week to check my gut out again. I’m hoping my leaky gut is gone. Remember you are what you eat.

Everyone has Parasites!!! They cause leaky gut and Diverticulitis 100%

[@bubblybull2463]

Careful with fermented food ! On top of my leaky gut symptoms I developed an intolerance for histamine and eating/drinking fermented food/beveries put me in anaphylactic shocks a few times before I realized the link between the two… Turns out that the enzymes that break down histamine in food are produced by our gut and if your gut, like mine, is not functioning properly, you might be defficient in these enzymes… Hence too much histamine, hence severe allergic-like reactions to food ! Stay safe, go slowly with changes in your diet and not any reaction !

[@DrRuscioDC]

Great point. If people have any histamine sensitivity, that's when I suggest a probiotic supplement over foods.

[@melinashaughnessy9037]

Great info. Thank you. Been on a gut journey for 3 weeks and now I’m down 10 pounds and feel much better. Really focused on feeling better and clearer mind.

[@rasiqahmed6945]

Amazing, practical, scientific piece of advice, many thanks.

This is exactly the diet I'm currently on for weight loss and gut health! Down 54lbs. Never felt better❣👍

Hi Doc, im trying to get to the bottom of my 6 month illness, doc keeps saying its not this & that, bloods, stools, blood pressure, ct scan are fine they say. Ive had the worst diet ever for last 30 - 35 years. Also bad anxiety, my symptoms is Really bad constipation/ slow gut motility, really bad insomnia & Fatigue, docs just put me on tablets. 5 days ago i stopped process foods, just eating natural foods but now i notice this low fodmap diet, would that be better? Im in uk so dont know if your service covers uk. Your information is really eye opening.

[@DrRuscioDC]

Glad to hear! I think of diet as step one food quality/processed foods, then step 2 consider low FODMAP. Hope this helps!

The first thing you should do is cut way back on wheat and stop buying US wheat as it is all dried with glyphosate. They started this practice right about the mid 90's when all the digestive issues started. As usual America does not care about the cause so they just labelled the symptoms as diseases. I buy my flour from Italy and make all my own wheat based items from scratch. Pasta, flour tortillas, bread, biscuits, and so on. The problem with American medicine is that when you go to the DR they never, ever, ever, ever, ever ask you what you diet consists of. Instead they whip out their prescription pad and write, write, write. They also get kickbacks form the pharmaceutical industry so it is a great incentive for them to write prescriptions. The digestive wall need single particles to easily pass through it. Wheat does not break down into single particles so it causes digestive issues. Add to that the gluten which binds particles together and have gluten binding multiples together that need to pass through the digestive wall. This causes inflammation and all kinds of issues. Meats and veggies for health. Leave the grains alone and you will feel much, much better.

Hi Dr, I’ve just discovered what leaky gut is and how my stomach health has affected me for the last decade. Short of all the issues of leaky gut I’ve had for so long I’ve also experiencing serious systemic inflammation through my entire body joint & muscular, severe scalp blistering that never recovers, constant headaches, severe sinus issues, bad broken sleep & haemorrhoids (banding surgery twice over 9yrs without solving and now I’m waiting for surgery). I just have one question if you could help me I would be really grateful. Could my haemorrhoids be a manifesting result from not being aware that my diet and leaky gut issues for a decade at least? In Australia leaky gut is not recognised so I don’t think I’ve ever been given the advice I needed by our Dr’s that could have helped me make the changes I desperately needed years ago.

[@DrRuscioDC]

Diet can contribute to hemorrhoids. Glad your making changes! Keep it up!

[@proudgrandma138]

Leaky gut is caused by lectins in vegies. Carnivore diet heals almost every malady that affects man.

[@winniecash1654]

The answer to your question is yes.

[@homebuddha]

Thank you both (Dr & Winnie) please excuse my delay responding with gratitude. I really appreciate your help. Already I’ve noticed a huge improvement since giving up smoking (35yrs) & sticking to a FODMAP menu (I downloaded an app to check everything I eat), knocked off sugary foods, I eat plain Greek yoghurt, kimchi & sauerkraut in every mouthful at every meal. I’ve discovered my fibromyalgia has almost disappeared, my scalp itchiness and blistering is calming, bloating and flatulence is minimal, and my snoring has disappeared. This information is life really life changing. Thank you Dr, I subbed for life.

[@winniecash1654]

@homebuddha about 6 months ago, I started getting hemorrhoids for the first time in my life. I have all the other symptoms you mentioned, but instead of blisters on my scalp, I get patches of skin growths that peel off. Either way, I decided to do something drastic and took on eating carnivore. It's helped me with all the GI problems. I'm still fatigued, and the fibromyalgia while getting better is not gone. Hopefully, over time, while also decreasing stress, I'll heal. I hope this information helps. God bless. Oh, I take 250-600 mgs of magnesium citrate at night. This keeps constipation away. It acts as a muscle relaxant. For constipation, you may also take high doses of vitamin C (it's safe for most people to take up to 8000 mg a day). But sometimes this causes cramping of the gut, so for me, it's a last resort. Also, 1 tablespoon of plain psyllium seed husk in the morning, vita d and mk7 (or k2), but twice a week, and daily zink, benfotiamine, b complex. I drink lots of purified water, and just started drinking kefir to help rebuild my gut biome, which so far I'm tolerating well. You'll learn what works for you. P.s. read labels. The magnesium citrate brand I usually get just started to put rapeseed oil in the blend, which is a seed oil. It is not good to ingest any seed oil. So I switched brands. Good thing I read labels. The only oil worth eating is extra virgin olive oil first press.

I have PPMS. If I didn’t listen to Dr. Osborne and Dr. Wahl’s I’d be in a wheelchair… slowly coming out of it with gf, df, reducing toxins by eating only grassfed meat, and doing Wahl’s Protocol. The thing about this that is the most striking, is all I see is sick people around me lol. Everyone who used to “only” have psoriasis, vitiligo… Crohn’s lol, now I’m getting better and they’re getting worse. Trying to lead by example and pull them in. 🌟 PS-I realized my husband has Ankylosing Spondylitis… B27 Gene…and now he’s started this way of life too. If I get better, for him to get worse … that would be devastating. Thank you for sharing truth and giving folks hope 🌟

I tried a lot and got small gains but the thing that finally cleared up my skin was supplementing collagen.

Great to hear :)

[@michaels999]

Which brand did you use?

[@reinotsurugi]

@@michaels999 Various but I live in Japan, so it won't be much help as they are Japanese brands. I doubt it matters much. My guess is, you have to have your other bases covered then give your body the materials it needs to make the repair and it will.

I like to share my experience with this problem also Sibo, candida, arthritis inflammation and menopausal symptoms, I did all the above you mentioned and still didn’t get much improvement, only started getting better after starting the use of binders such as bentonite, charcoal combined with psillium fiber it pulls all nasty mucoid plaques from your intestines and them was like a miracle everything gets better, I don’t think you can get rid of candida unless you remove these plaques where they live and survive no matter what probiotic you take. Hope this can help others.

Can you please share the dosage you took and how you mused it and how often you took this please

Great info thanks for sharing. What is your view on vitamin patches in view of dysbiosis

[@DrRuscioDC]

Glad you thought so! I think targeting gut repair with something like probiotics and an anti-inflammatory diet comes first. Probiotics may actually increase nutrient absorption, so vitamin supplementation may not be as necessary.

[@mynameisntbobcullington3614]

Great communicator. I’m certain I have leaky gut. Nighttime itching. Headaches. Fatigue. Insomnia. Developed several allergies and sleep apnea the last few years. Food particles in stool. Brain fog digestive issues. I’ve already been intermittent fasting Monday to Friday. Drastically lowered to almost eliminated processed food and focused on eating whole foods. Also just now incorporating fermented foods but this is very new to me. I strength train average 4 times a week. But barely get any cardio. Going to start walking to work a couple days a week to meet those targets. Going to add a probiotic supplement this weekend. Hoping that with my IF routine. Probiotic supplementation, Increased exercise and my cleaner diet (which was god awful prior, and I’m certain the reason I’m in this mess) I can turn this around. If 3 months doesn’t result in significant change I guess I’m going elimination diet.

[@pasqualitractor9385]

You should be careful with over the counter probiotics. It is known that the immunotherapy does not work when you have a small diversity of gut bacteria and over the counter probiotics do just that. The goal is to have a large as possible diversity of gut bacteria only then everything is working like a good oiled machine 😉

Leaky gut is actually true. Most people don’t know about it. Leaky gut, also known as increased intestinal permeability, is a condition where the lining of the digestive tract becomes more porous, potentially allowing undigested food particles and toxins to enter the bloodstream. This can lead to a range of health issues. It's important to maintain a healthy gut with a balanced diet, probiotics, and consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns about this condition.

[@thealiceftw]

Important to note is to not be on a low fodmap diet for too long. The goal is to be able to tolerate all those foods, even common allergens. Can it be any soil based probiotics? Or any specific strain? Is spore based probiotics soil based? And will the benefit/the healing subside once stopping the probiotics?

[@hcure4003]

Hi I'm just a random person but I have some thoughts on your last question; I have found many say that the effects of probiotics are temporary for them, and I'm starting to wonder if it's because there's something specific causing inflammation in the body that is hurting their microbiome balance and therefore hurting the microbiome constantly causing the probiotics to not thrive. It can be anything from hormonal dysfunction, to heavy metal toxicity, to high stress, poor sleep etc. I've found all these to be the case for me, especially sleep & hormones. When I prioritize these, my microbiome seems to do SO MUCH better. I can tell because I'm healing from h pylori which causes stabbing pains; I don't feel the stabbing pains whenever my sleep and hormones are doing better ! Just figured I'd share this info in case it could help anyone. Took me long enough to put my own health puzzle pieces together. Took me fcking years man 😂

Dr. Ruscio, I always get leaky gut whenever I take Vitamin D supplement (even a lower dose) and then suffer the next 4/5 days. What could be the cause?

Which Vitamin D supplement are you taking?

[@AquariusManASMR]

what do you mean you 'get leaky gut'? How do you diagnose that? What symptoms?

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

What about using Aloe to help soothe one’s gut besides just probiotics.
