Thank you so much ! Been trying to find you from some video I saw forever ago about this topic. Thanks for the types of probiotics u recommended…saved my gut health!
You always do an excellent job with a more methodical approach! One thing I’d be curious about you going into would be Tribuytrin being maybe the most critical of all aspects to restore gut function and then moving into probiotics, then prebiotics/fermented foods/diverse soluble fiber rich foods.
Very informative video. In my case, the sour taste of fermented foods irritates my stomach since I have gastritis and acid reflux. So, currently, I am working on increasing my prebiotic diet. This is where your video is most helpful. Hopefully, my gut health improves and I will be able to consume fermented foods. Thanks.
Totally agree, one thing at a time which has been a challenge for me to do! What made huge difference for me when adding pre and probiotics is finding the the right formula selection and adding a digestive enzyme with each meal.
That’s very understandable - when you’re eager to get well, and there are multiple things on your radar, it’s natural to want to try incorporating them at once, especially if you know they work well together. But you’re right, going one by one is better, especially if you find you have an intolerance to something new - it’s much easier to identify that way. I’m so glad you’ve found a routine that’s helping you!
@@Ananimous7777 I have tried dozens literally, so many and HUM Flatter Me has been a miracle. I take one before each meal, amazing results. Everything works! I tried this brand on a recommendation and was so surprised. Never thought I would discover an enzyme that worked. It is available at Target, however I do the subscription with HUM to ensure I always have available.
Had a group discussion with my besties. The subject on digestive dysfunction in menopause came up and all the misinformation fuelled by fear from other health institutions was raised. I was shocked when doing research on what came up, basically instructions to do much of the activities you warn us not to take part in. Maybe you can cover digestive dysfunction in female menopause? Also experiencing occassional chills as an onset to flaring.
Hi there! That’s a great idea. I’ll pass your suggestion along to the team for a future video. Was there anything in particular you would want to see covered?
Hi! L. Gasseri can usually be found in yogurt, so I’d start there if that’s a food you can tolerate. Most probiotic foods indicate which strains they contain somewhere on the label.
That’s a very good point - prebiotics can be difficult to digest for some, though there are low FODMAP alternatives found in whole foods. Thanks for your insightful comment!
@@DrRuscioDC thanks for your great videos. Your presentations are very organized and easy to follow. Perhaps you can make a new video, examining the point i raised
Apple cider vinegar “with the mother” contains probiotic bacteria, so more of a probiotic than a prebiotic, but definitely potentially useful for gut health.
@@kandasamyrajan The bacteria in ACV is the type that can survive the fermentation process and live in an acidic environment. But you’re right that the acid does kill some kinds of microbes.
@@DrRuscioDC Thanks for the information. Some companies advertised their "ACD capsules with mother". As far as I know bacteria will not survive in dry environment. How far this company's advertisement is authentic?

i can only have some vegetables and plain meat with digestive enzyme and betaine hcl.. if i have any carbs i get bad wind, headrush, foggy head, incredible fatigue etc. Ive tried prebiotics and cannot tolerate them too, ive been taking probiotics recently and taking oregano oil and berberine but have had no joy, im stuck what to do i have been ill 12 years and completely intolerant to exercise. If i do the slightest thing i get mood change, depression, agitated and really achey especially the morning after. I dont know what else to do have you any ideas? ive had previous tests done which ive kept in a file
I’m so sorry you’ve been struggling like this. Have you had any testing done? These symptoms could be attributed to multiple conditions. I can only imagine how hard it is, but hang in there. I really hope you start feeling better soon.
@@DrRuscioDC I've had Geneva metabolomix test, a stool test 4 years ago with OAT test and multiple other tests but don't know what to do to help :( because I had pain under my ribs I had my gallbladder removed but have the same problems after
In my experience of researching and dealing with gut issues for 10 unfortunate years: Prebiotics are typically very problematic for those with moderate-severe dysbiosis and auto immune disease. It's why carnivore diet works so well. For the healthy population, prebiotics seem fine. If you have any moderate or severe gut dysbiosis, best to use a probiotic with NO prebiotics. Prebiotics used to destroy me
Hi there! Yes, probiotics can be very helpful against yeast and candida, inhibiting the growth of fungus. Definitely worth a try if you haven’t incorporated them yet.
@@aurorab6553 Prebiotics are a little trickier. We don’t necessarily recommend them (especially in isolation) to patients with sensitivities or who have significant microbiome imbalances, which a yeast overgrowth could be. Probiotics may be the better course of action - bringing in the good bacteria first, then feeding it with probiotics down the line (vs potentially feeding the imbalance if you go with prebiotics first). Does that make sense?
@@DrRuscioDC Yes, it does, thank you so much for replying! So do you recommend taking probiotics first for 2-3 months & then prebiotics ? Or a month of taking probiotics will be enough before I can add prebiotics? Thanks in advance 🙏
Hi there! Maltodextrin is a common ingredient in elemental and semi-elemental diets because it’s a highly digestible, simple carbohydrate. Elemental diets are made up of essentially pre-digested nutrients, and for that reason they’re primarily carbohydrate-based. They’re mostly intended for people experiencing acute GI symptoms who can’t tolerate or digest whole foods. Rather than as part of a daily diet, these products are intended for short-term, focused courses of treatment (though they’re safe for daily or regular use as well). Sorry if I’m telling you things you already know. But that’s why we’re somewhat limited in what ingredients we use if we also want the product to serve its purpose. If you look at comparable elemental diet and similar medical products, like Physician’s formula, they contain simple carbohydrate sources like maltodextrin and dextrose pretty much across the board.
@@Frida-w2gI’m so sorry to hear she’s been suffering with that. We recommend probiotics as part of our three-step approach to SIBO, ideally a mix of the three main types (lacto/bifido species, s. boulardii, and soil-based strains). More on that here: drruscio.com/sibo-treatments/. It’s especially helpful during a course of antibiotic or antimicrobial therapy. But some people who have SIBO have variable reactions to probiotics alone, so we always recommend trying it in combination with at least an elimination diet, if not also antimicrobials. If it’s not too personal to ask, what has she tried already for SIBO treatment? I hope she’s feeling better.
@@brianbellamy5678I’m sorry I don’t have a more complete answer for you. This post on our site sums it up well and links out to studies that might be helpful references: drruscio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050245014--Why-does-Elemental-Heal-contain-Stevia-and-Tapioca-Maltodextrin. Part of the rationale behind using whey in the original formula is that it helps balance the carbohydrate load - but that also means it’s semi-elemental, not truly elemental like our whey-free version is. I also want to clarify that it’s not a typical meal replacement so much as it is medical food. Elemental diets aren’t indicated for everyone, but they can be a lifesaver for people who are struggling to eat, get nourished, and absorb nutrients, and that’s why they’re formulated as they are.

Excellent info presented so clearly from a Registered Dietitian! Ty

@@DrRuscioDC Much appreciated!
Helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to hear it! Thank you :)
great video but . . . many prebiotics are FODMAPs and you do not explain the conflict between avoiding FODMAPs, versus using prebiotics
That’s a very good point - prebiotics can be difficult to digest for some, though there are low FODMAP alternatives found in whole foods. Thanks for your insightful comment!
Do not go for low foodmap, just add digestive enzymes, one capsule with each meal

@@Ananimous7777Don’t give advice.
