Regarding the belching being a result of someone deliberately/unconsciously sucking in and temporarily swallowing air to initiate the burp.... I can tell you, i have suffered from bloating, and i would deliberately burp, like you would as a kid, to release the build up that was happening. So you're right; belching is a deliberate act. Habitual. But you're missing the point; were doing it to release a genuine buildup of gas in our upper gut/stomach.

If you are a woman with daily progressive abdominal bloating and watching this please go get an MRI.

This resulted in major surgery and a long long painful recovery and the loss of organs. Please just go get an MRI and catch it early. Eating well is important but this discussion doesn’t talk about actual physical obstruction which is something women suffer from at a higher rate than you realize. Get an MRI.

[@gomezaddams6470]

So many women do and it's due to hormones um's and the kind of food that is being eaten.. People who don't eat animal food go through far better menopause. Because animals cas hormone changes so much. I have my own issues but when I was younger I didn't. Not until after a bad procedure and things changed. Eating a diet high in Beans and lentils nuts seeds vegetables fruits and spaces. Really nurture yourself with good big meals that fit this season. Grow a garden if you can. Maybe you can only grow things and pots do it it's wor is it. Just eat Well and well planned. Cut out the animal foods because of the hormones. The difference is amazing. I was damaged by a doctor in my gut and have never had it doubt with because i'm fearful. What she did to me was so Traumatic I haven't been able to deal with it. I've healed so many other people by helping them learn how to eat the correct foods. I need a clone of me to take care of myself for a while. And when you have a doctor that does something wrong, take care of it right away. I regret it so much for not turning this doctor in for doing what she did to me. The fact that it was intentional it's just appalling.😢 Remember menopause is normal and it shouldn't be like an illness. Take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself. Get outside as much as you can. And if you're not close to the equator make sure you take your vegan d three supplement And vegan omega three supplement. And even people who eat animal products get between 12 deficient. A, what are you to take AB12? They usually have a vegan pill with the three things that I just mentioned. It's so worth it.

Really good quality information. One question I would like to ask is some older people have reduced motility due to neural degeneration. they can also have tears in their small bowel which leads to bleeding and congealed blood adhered to the bowel wall, which creates obstruction. Increasing fiber can back up behind this obstruction. This is why I think it is critical to do capsule endoscopy to ascertain obstruction, especially in older patients.

This was a really good interview. At first I was a little apprehensive, especially when he talked about paying all that money for a lab. Well it was one of those labs in 2001 that led to me being healed of IBS and so many other things. I learned of the lab and asked for names of doctors in my area who used there services. Through them I found a functional medicine MD. But as he continued to speak and accepted your suggestion of quercetin, I started to relax a little. Then he mentioned the holistic approach where three doctors are seeing somebody with something that is truly connected. So yes he is a rare breed of gastroenterologist. I assure you the one I see is not into all this. What I especially enjoyed was the topic of histamines. It sounds like a reason to grow your own garden, buy directly from the local farmer, or buy frozen. Quercetin with bromelain was a lifesaver for me. I was living on Benadryl until my functional medicine md put me on this combination and eventually I was able to get off the Benadryl and then off this combination. But now I take bromelain religiously because of what it does with fibrin.

I was diagnosed with IBS in the 80's and later diverticulosis...My IBS was constipation dominant..turns out I was lactose intolerant and I had vestibular migraine causing abdominal pain due to abdominal migraine, not diverticulitis, along with a bad gut microbiome. Meds for VM allowed me to eat fiber and heal my gut by increasing the good bacteria. Foods I had to avoid I can now eat and have no gas or bloating. I am 'healed" at age 73 after decades of suffering.

[@bronwynst4280]

How was your abdominal migraine diagnosed?

[@dinahsoar6982]

@@bronwynst4280 It was diagnosed after I developed symptoms in 2020 that were diagnosed as vestibular migraine in 2022..looking backward as far as childhood and going forward to 2020 it is apparent I had vestibular migraine all those years. A video on youtube by Dr. Michale Teixido explains the progression of vestibular migraine which always has a period, on average, of 9 years, of migraine, generally followed by an IBS diagnosis, followed by BBPV, with childhood nausea, sick headaches and car sickness. I also had 'belly aches' which my mother attributed to constipation...it was likely abdominal migraine. Very few doctors were aware back in the day and few are aware even now unless they deal specifically with VM. Often abdominal migraine is diagnosed when everything else is ruled out..in my case b/c I had diverticular pockets in my colon, 3 to be exact, my pain was assumed to be due to diverticulitis. The problem is most people have, by their 40's, pockets in their colon and have no symptoms. It is easy to see how the wrong diagnosis could be made..this link explains how it is generally diagnosed: www.yalemedicine.org/conditions/abdominal-migraine

[@dinahsoar6982]

One more thing, in my case the migraine drug Ajovy 'fixed' my abdominal pain and bloating. Were it due to diverticulosis or diverticulitis the Ajovy would not have done that. Treating with Ajovy to see if there is a beneficial response would be a good way to rule out other causes. If you think you might have abdominal migraine it might be worth asking your doctor about giving it a trial to see if you have abdominal migraine..if you do, the Ajovy would likely have a positive effect.

[@katleh1]

FODMAP turned my life 8 years ago. Got in contact with a dietitian to help me sort out what food to avoid with IBS (can't figure it out on your own). It's like day and night. No more bloating, constipation or diarrhea, and no more cramps. ❤

[@Seanonyoutube]

Were you able to reintroduce the foods? Or did you just cut them out and never introduce them back?

[@katleh1]

@@Seanonyoutube i started reintroducing slowly when my gut started healing. Most of the food on the red list Ive left out completely, like onion and lactose, my stomach just can't handle that, not even as completely healed. Alot of the food on the yellow list I can eat today, but only small amounts. It gives more variety. Also need to stay away from sugar, because it messes the stomach up pretty fast. It takes some time to figure it out, but it gets easier with time.

i think i missed something ... what is the yellow list?@@katleh1

Please check out Karen Hurd’s bean protocol for IBS. It’s healed thousands with IBS & Crohn’s and is helping my chronic constipation immensely.

Hi. How long did it take for you to heal, what did you do to heal and is gluten on the yellow list?

His description of how you can have a daily bm but still be constipated really resonated, especially the part about having a second bm shortly after the first; it’s a pretty spot on description of what I’ve been experiencing

[@thomasazzopardi4760]

I really appreciate you bringing Dr. Bulsiewic on your channel for this topic of bloating and constipation. I found it to be quite interesting and actually have found some ways to improve my health from his advice. I am looking forward to seeing the results in the near future. Really enjoy listening to people who share real life situations and tie it to real science and offer solutions.

[@thomasazzopardi4760]

Not sure this will be read here but I merely increased mi Magnesium from 500mg to 1000mg and things have changed drastically. I am.also adding probiotics to my daily intake. Folks, this doc is the real deal as he has helped me and I didn't have to go to his office and subject myself to a million tests and get a.fistfull of medications. Thank you so much for your very wise advice. My gut is already happier.

Grinding fennel seeds,sesame seeds,fenugreek & flaxseeds very fine.Mix 1-2 tspns in a warm glass of water.Let sit for abt 1 hr. Drink b4 sleeping. Helps constipation. For me, stopping processed dairy & Intermittent fasting,making my own bone marrow broth & using it daily..eating only in certain fruits.. papaya,pineapple,kiwi ..I can't have too much fructose...B4 eating anything else only in the morning or they ferment in yr stomach.After other foods,not rating fodmap foods. Stimes taking a probiotic...but eating fermented foods always..like sauerkraut,kimchi good raw natural yoghurt,kefir to keep my gut bacterial healthy ,eat only sour dough bread ..taking magnesium..are some of the changes that helped my constipation..therefore then my bloating Eating fodmap foods

[@eviwarawiri2903]

What kind of IF that you do every day?

[@megagoodtimes78]

If your new to IF its good to work up to a longer fast. 12 hr is ok, then 14, couple days a week go to 16-18hr fasts to increase cellular regrowth called autophagy. First meal should be high protein☺️☺️

This is so good. I have SIBO and IBS-D, sometimes histamine intolerance, and lots of crazy side effects! He did hit on all topics of many docs I have seen, and topics of what I personally have found with trial and error. ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS! I am finding that alone is the killer and dairy for me. So hard to find things without, in the fitness world. Where can I find this doc? I would love to schedule an appointment, I’ve been left stranded and messed up from other natural paths who have killed off a lot of my good bacteria and left me struggling alone 😢

[@GusMac-kv7zi]

In most European countries artificial sugars are not allowed. We tend only to think of diet type sweeteners but soda has high fructose corn syrup while European soda has just sugar in it. Fructose corn syrup is in a lot of American made food. GMO foods are also not permitted in some European countries either. I haven't eaten corn in 25 years and I can no longer get regular watermelon anymore just gmo seedless and it's very annoying. I like some cereal now and then but I only purchase Kamut flakes because it is a designated heirloom wheat not permitted to be gmo'd. It is very nutritious like other wheats and grains used to be.

One of the best gut problem video's I have seen yet and I watch them all, so many things are dead on that he is saying, as I have improved my gut after years of trial and error, but I'm not quit there yet. A Low Fodmap diet really helped me, I have the app on my phone. Learned a lot from this video, thank you so much. I think as most people get older your gut health gets more touchy and is probably the number one way to heal your body.

[@racheltaylor2549]

I have struggled with histamine intolerance and IBS symptoms for over 15 years. So much so I had to try and solve the riddle by myself using a holistic approach and have since qualified as a dietitian. I agree it would be so beneficial to be able to treat patients with a holistic approach and discuss things in a holistic whole picture kind of way.

For me, its dairy, dairy and more dairy! I'm mostly carnivore which I love and I thought dairy would be good. Felt backed up and very puffy stomach for awhile, which isn't normal for me. Finally decided to eliminate all dairy products and my stomach went back to flat and I'm digesting normal again. Dairy is way too inflammatory for me.

[@ResponseMindBody]

Probably because it’s heavily adulterated with the pasteurization process. Raw is a big difference.

[@fieryfirevivin]

​@@ResponseMindBodyfor me as well. Raw A2 is definitely better but it still gives me bloating

[@sirij8784]

my whole life I couldnt do milk I felt horrible. Now I drink it everyday. Raw milk has been a game changer. But if I cant get raw, grass fed organic doesn't get me sick. It might be what the cows eat in their processed grains is what makes the difference for my body

[@fieryfirevivin]

@@sirij8784 I'm carnivore. But can't do milk. Even raw grass fed and grass finished A2 milk It just bloats and causes diarrhea for me

[@uog293]

Pasteurization is literally heating the milk there's no "adulteration" the only adulteration is the cow itself, stress hormones, estrogens, cortisol, rbst etc. Raw changes none of that

[@dessertfirstandlastandalways]

That's really interesting about the histamine relation to food. I've had horrible allergies my whole life and also severe stomach issues - at times so severe I'd have to go to hospital due to severity of pain, yet doctors could never diagnose. Figuring out my trigger foods over the years has helped. I've been able to successfully treat my allergy issues w/ anti-histamines and sleeping with a humidifier (this was really the game-changer). But what's also interesting is that whenever I drink alcohol I always wake up with a horrible runny nose the next morning. I never realized this could be a histamine issue until he brought it up.

[@szymonbaranowski8184]

there are antihistamine probiotics strains longum, plantarum, breve, and one more works well I learned hard way that plain kefir is ok but enriched is a disaster plus other fermented veggies in any substantial amounts especially fermented cabbage juice is a guaranteed diarrhea 😂 it's all because of bullshit diet and in time activating permanent histamine sensitivity genes but since I changed diet it's all right and I actually like dairy haha only too much milk becomes a problem milk is as addictive as coffee or sugar and has that crappy casein too less but fatter works better ofc no aged cheese also no cacao this shit in excess make you symptoms as arteritis LOL my wrists couldn't handle it and that's when I finally figured out histamine is they key

[@TrudyContos-gq1bw]

Thats gluten, and if you drink distilled clear 100 💯 agave tequila or vodka triple distilled, but remember that anything what we probably Ryan oats so got to cut out the bread everything and if it's really bad silly act disease you have to really really cut through the parameters and study the ingredients and all that crap that we don't have any patients or the time to do it but, I wish I had known this because my allergies causes inflammation and so long time damage now it's too late to reverse but not too late not to suffer.
