@@ShivamShukla-js4ii I’m so sorry to hear that. Have you tried the triple probiotics therapy approach, with probiotics from each of the three major categories?
@@DrRuscioDC Sir, ur advice is correct but most of Doctors prescribed me Rifagut Tryptomer Rifagi Sompraz Noramaxin and all of are just useless and Now I have changed my routine of Eating and walk for 30 minutes in the morn and keep away from processed foods and Dairy products as I can bear glucose and I take Oats in breakfast and after that 2 🍌 and in lunch I take Roti ,Sabji, Daal Chawal and in the evening A little papaya and in dinner I take full food and I wish God will kind to me and one day I will recover from this Hell IBS .The Hell IBS
Please doctor can you tell me if taking a supplement that says gi repair, gi restore, leaky gut repair or something like that will be beneficial to take along with probiotics? Do you treat yourself or do you have other providers? Please respond. Thank you
Leaky gut is real and a total misery. Almost 40 and realised how much it has robbed me of life from the chronic fatigue to brain fog and night time itching but doctors always say it's not worth investigating. Only made the possible connection to my gut over the last few years and now I've decided to eliminate processed foods and unnecessary sugar from my diet and adding probiotics daily. Hope it gets better in a few months!
In the last 5 years I tried to introduce probiotics numerous times, always felt bad on it and stopped soon after. Recently I learned that they were all using inulin as a prebiotic and that I generally don't do well with inulin (onions ruin my sleep for example). I have tried a brand that uses acacia fiber as prebiotic and to my surprise all of the probiotic benefits that I read about are finally there for me as well. All to say, if you dont see desired results, it might not be the bacteria strains failing you.
when taking good bacteria in, bad bacteria can die and many bad bacteria cause a "die off" or herxheimer reaction and release bad chemicals toxic to the body which can give off the nauseating or foggy feeling.
@@originalmamagrizzly2478 I take Lubiotic from Luondu, think that's some amazon only brand, I really think the included prebiotic makes the difference for me, even in isolation, inulin makes me feel off, acacia fiber causes no problems
as a naturopath who have ibs and help people with ibs i really like your no bullshit approach to a healthy gut...thank you for your videos i learn a lot from them
I USED TO HAVE IBS AND BECOMING A VEGETARIAN HELPED, BUT THEN FOLLOWING A WHOLE FOOD PLANT BASED DIET WAS WHAT REALLY MADE IT DISAPPEAR.TRY IT AND FOR SURE IT WILL HELP YOU GET RID OF IT.🌺☮️💟🌺
I had extreme MCAS & leaky gut. I was reacting to everything. My throat would close eating almost anything & my eyes & joints would hurt. The book “Plant Paradox” saved my life (I changed my diet). I am not totally healed but on my way!!!!
You are totally on point Michael, a lot of people waste a lot of time and money on useless testing when the solution is kind of similar, reduce inflammation, restore microbiome, improve nutrient deficiency and gut motility,
@@nickthenab1 A simple blood test for nutrient deficiencies is fine. It's more so stool testing for GI mapping and food sensitivities that have become rather rampant and are not that effective.
The only issue is to find doctors that 1) understand this and 2) can test it. I have no idea where I could go to have that analysis done. And I live in Belgium. I don’t think that even exists here. Any tip?
@@fredswolen894 I live in Belgium and do blood tests every 8-10 weeks through my sportsdoctor but have done it through regular doc's aswell. I ask most of the parameters myself, just check what you want to measure before you go to the appointment. If you don't really know what to measure, you can try to find a good osteopath to help you with this.
When it comes to leaky gut & its location, this is the very best explanation I've found on RUclips and the entire internet. Thanks a TON , Dr. Ruscio !!!
I'm going to look into the probiotics you mentioned. I do already include homemade goat's kefir and fermented food. I have seen some improvement but not enough to venture from my strict imposed diet. 🙄
They say madness is doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. Well, having tried all kinds of anti microbials, the low fodmap diet, DIY semi-elemental formulas, antibiotics, various prokinetics - you name it - with only fleeting sucess - I realised maybe I have leaky gut rather than Sibo/Sifo (I had tested positive for SIBO in the past, but not always, yet the bloating and inflammation continued even on a negative result). This has been going on since experiencing food poisoning 4 years ago :(( Initially I had been put off trying probiotics (by one leading expert's warnings about them), but I realised I needed a new approach. L Glutamine definitely helped, digestive emzymes and betaine+pepsin in my case too, but the biggest surprise has been the probiotics. I'm so glad people like you are here Dr Ruscio, thank you. I am hoping I won't need to continue Resolor/Prucalopride (way too expensive here in Spain but Iberogast is in short supply and only in 20ml bottles), so I will experiment with herbal alternatives. Good luck to everyone out there - perserverence pays off!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It can be hard to navigate through all the different health guidance out there, so I'm glad you were able to find something that worked for you. :)
My wife has had similar experience to you. Then she realized foods accidentally containing sesame were a big part of problem. She had pain all the time and was told it's just mild IBS, no solution. She took one drop oil oregano for 11 days and all symptoms stopped. Then she takes one of Dr. R supplement and much of the back and muscle inflammation is changing. Hard to tell if it is the final answer as they already have injuries from accidents but at least the weight starting to be healthier as they had been underweight. Somethings take a while to figure out and adjust to. It is said that many people shouldn't eat sesame!
@@SeeWonderHaveLive That is encouraging, thank you for sharing. Sometimes small changes can make a big difference, but it's definitely hard to figure out, like you say. I hope your wife continues to improve.
Thank you. I quit alcohol soon as I watched this. Makes sense it would wash away the mucus layer I spent good money building by eating super healthily.
I used to think leaky gut was silly. I was one of those that didn’t have any gut symptoms which made me even more of a skeptic, but was very unwell. Thankfully I came around and have had a lot of healing.
Thank you. This is invaluable. I have had two masive bleeds due to diverticulitis and have spent this year trying to heal my gut. I will add this protocol.
I am glad I came across your video dr .I just try to introduce probiotic again these past few days .And I got the right amount of lacto&bifido bacteria on my supplement .I will be continue to consume for 2-3 months as your protocol suggest .Hope it can improve my leaky gut & ibs .
Mine turned out to be a gluten allergy. I had diarrhea a lot. After i quit gluten my leaky gut healed, and my diarrhea went away, and also had a lot of dandruff. That also went away. I was dealing with dandruff all my life and it's gone for good. 😀😀😀😀
Hello, Could you pls explain exactly how you overcame this issue? I have stomach problems with Dandruff since a long time and looks like all this is linked somehow. Pretty sure from your comment. If you can guide me I'd be very happy.
I stopped eating things with gluten and both went away. Try cutting out gluten for 2 weeks and lmk. It takes about 3 days for the inflammation to go away. So after 2 weeks you should be good if you have this allergy. I now eat a lot of rice bowls for lunch, and trader joes gluten free english muffins for sandwhiches@@blivinalien3227
WOW. Absolutely amazing information. Thank you! (My sad story started 7/22.) After C Diff infection, taking probiotics was very scary~ the gut is SO sensitive to everything. Left with SIBO/leaky gut☹️ I stopped using everything for a couple months....used low Fodmap diet....after several months, slloowwly introduced probiotics with IgG.... slowly added prokinetics. It's almost the 3 months mark for me with this treatment.{SIBO protocol}. I ate a little salad a couple days ago, a little salsa yesterday😊 Nothing! 😁. Things are damn near back to normal in the bathroom!.... Don't give up! Try different things for 3 months.
That’s amazing! 🙌🏻 We’re so happy to hear that. We’d love to hear more about your story if you want to share it with us. Send us an email at Marketing@DrRuscio.com. We sure would love to hear from you!
This was the best explanation of leaky gut that I have found so far. Thank you so much. It is much better than " stop all gluten immediately ."😊 Thank you again.
@@DrRuscioDChi Doc I hope you are well I wanted to ask I have psoriasis on my neck and arms the doctors keep on giving me steroids cream which is not helping at all so I decided to start to eat kefir and bought skin biotics what would you suggest I’m planning to start eating only fruits and vegetables and buying probiotics tablets and eat yakult and kimchi any advise and my constipation is the worst thing I have ever come across like at times one month I don’t go at all and planning to see my doctor because it’s not healthy many thanks doc 😊
I don't think yakault will help at all. Yes to fermented foods if no pasteurisation. Make your own even better. Eat nutritious foods that are well cooked. I have to avoid most raw foods. Also time restricted eating. I'm now going to look at soil based probiotics. 😇
@@rmohamedmattan1040I'm at the beginning of body heal because of 80% body area covered by psoriasis. I can confirm that diet (healing gut) helps for psoriasis and gets rid of psoriasis skin. I make photos day by day to show after aomw time how health gut is important for our skin
You have to start drinking meat stock, introducing it really slowly like half cup per day. You will get some detox symptoms so you have to put your feetsin water with bakingsoda
I definitely think I tore up my gut lining in more ways than one western diet, stress, and some foods I had no business consuming for a prolonged amount of time like hard beef jerky that was a little too red... And dry smoked cheese...and pork from a farm in Mexico I ain't been the same since ...and then I tried to fix constipation with black cherry juice and pineapple juice for several months..when I have tough time with acidic foods..what a mess... healing vibes to everyone I finally found a functional Dr hopefully I can straighten things out
Thank you for your very interesting and helpful presentation. I am in England a 68 year old male and here very few GP doctors have even heard about leaky gut or SIBO, etc, which I have been privately tested for and diagnosed with, let alone know how to treat it. Functional medicine is way behind US levels and currently our beloved NHS government run medical service has waiting times of over a year for routine operations and 3 months for tests. I will be introducing the type of Probiotics you described in the study into my own assessment and treatment protocol of low Fodmap no sugar and carb diet. Thanks again Dr.Michael. Mark Jeffries.Chichester.England.
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad that I could give you some useful info. Best of luck with your protocol. Please let me know how it goes in a couple months!
Is it true in England they use a lot of white flour? I never understood what is so fancy about scones and high tea if it leads to Candida! Lol what a great way to impress people Eh?
Thank you Doctor, i agree with everything you say except the stool test part. I developed very aggressive H-Pylori in the gut in 2020 which leaked into my blood stream due to leaky gut and started attacking my heart- i almost died but thank God my GP (family Dr in the USA) had suspicions and she ordered a stool test. The test showed my infection, i was put on a couple of powerful antibiotics and my heart palpitations stopped instantly! I had leaky gut due to a bad diet and chronic stress at work. Stool tests certainly work as part of a diagnostic process to work out what is causing leaky gut in the first instance.
I agree that testing can be helpful for more severe infections and GI conditions. Especially when your practitioner recommends it. I more so mean for food sensitivities and GI mapping. Thank you for pointing that out. :)
@@presidentiallsuite Yes, its a very common bad bacteria that most people don't know about. All we hear about is e-coli/salmonella etc... H-Pylori can be just as virulent. I think i got it from infected food.
Yes I understood and agree with your caution of over testing especially stool testing. But like antibiotics and steroids that are on occasion the right treatment until able to build back and restore. 😚
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us, I have learned SO much from your videos about leaky gut and thyroid. I appreciate you so so much
Excellent and informative video. However, as someone who has had leaky gut in the past, I began to experience immune reactivity to probiotics that I used consistently over time. I suspect that these helpful bacteria were getting into the bloodstream and triggering inflammation. It would seem that doing a reparative protocol first would be a better approach. I’m fact, this is what I ended up doing and it worked. Just my two cents. What say you?
@@saffronsl I don't know what their diet was, but any anti-inflammatory diet is a great place to start. Something like paleo or low FODMAP (though low FODMAP is more restrictive, so I usually suggest trying paleo first and then moving on if that doesn't work).
Thank you Dr. Ruscio! I found this info to be very valuable for my family and my health coaching clients. Thanks for your perspective and honesty. Less really can be more.
i have psoriasis and just last month i suddenly felt bloating whenever i eat something. now I developed joint pain or maybe psoriatic artritis. I might have a leaky gut. I will try this approach while changing my diet aswell. I hope this helps. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with symptoms. I hope the new approach works well for you! If you ever need additional help, you can always work with us at the clinic or even our health coach. :)
Thank you. I don’t need tests I know I have gut issues. I have had heartburn and been onprevicid for 15 yrs or so, had a colonoscopy done and my doctor said I had a fantastic colon that of a 18 year old when I was 50, however my gut was a absolute disaster and put me on carafate 1 gram 4 times a day. 10 years later I have chronic diarrhea, stomach pain, ect, random feverish feelings, food allergies, another colonoscopy by a different dr and again said my colon looked good and clean did lots of biopsies that I am waiting on but said nothing about my gut. I believe my colon issues are stemming from a leaky gut. I am tired of having to be my own dr though.
Thank you for the information doctor! I am currently healing my leaky gut and I have been taking probiotics. I actually found that drinking raw ginger tea with turmeric powder to help with reducing inflammation! Best combo!
What helped my leaky gut was eating clean. I have ezcema and when i eat clean i get no flare ups. Avoid things like sugar, dairy, acidic foods( apple cider vinegar, orange, etc.). The worst of all is blende sauces such as bbq, honey mustard, ranch, etc. Anytime i would eat these things i would get a flare up. Eating foods that are dry has helped me a lot. Also salads are always a good way to go when it comes to healing.
Just WOW! I just subscribed to your channel. Your video is one of very few I have seen that really resonates with me. Your research is very informative and I will be bringing this and the articles you mentioned to the attention of my Pulmonologist. I was diagnosed with “Asthma” last year at the age of 41. I have gut issues, brain fog, severe fatigue. This lung inflammation is the WORST tho! I haven’t been able to sleep in my bedroom with my husband for almost a year because of my constant, chronic coughing! The in-hailer that was prescribed doesn’t work. I’m afraid I have something called Esosinophilic Asthma or pneumonia, which would require a shot versus an in-hailer. I don’t know if you are familiar with the GAPS diet, but I tried that twice and lost so much weight that I didn’t need to lose that I looked emaciated! Never again! However, the meat stock that is emphasized the most in this diet is supposed to help heal and seal the gut lining. I am thinking of maybe at least incorporating that back into my diet. I eat all organic, no processed foods. I cannot eat anything high in histamine, no dairy, no grains, no caffeine. I’m pretty much just eating meat, veg and some fruit. I have so many food allergies/sensitivities. I have been taking a probiotic for almost 2 years with no noticeable results! Must be the wrong Probiotic, because I noticed the other day that it has milk and soy in it!!! 🤦🏻♀️ Can you tell me why you only take the Probiotics you mentioned for 2-3 months? What should I do after that time? Thank you for sharing this VERY valuable information! ❤
The idea is that the probiotics taken over a 2 to 3 month period will heal the gut. Hopefully, after that, you've established a healthy population of the bacteria and further supplementation would not be necessary. Try taking NAC for your lung inflammation.
@@snowball1465 Thank you! I have actually been taking Liposomal Glutathione for the past 3 months. I read that it works better for some over NAC. Plus I have a methylation issue so I think the LG works better. However, I have figured out that the root cause to my systemic health problems are my root canals and Wisdom teeth cavitations. I have been working with a biological dentist, who will be pulling the root canals and cleaning out the wisdom tooth cavitations. Read up on it and you’ll discover how awful the dental field has done us! Read about RANTES in jawbone cavitations. Dr. Johann Lechner is a very wise Dr/Biological Dentist who teaches about these dangers. He has a bunch of videos on this topic. Very important for people to know this! I am getting this oral work done next month. I’m very nervous but even more optimistic after coming across this information!
Maybe... I don't think its quite that consolidated for all people. For some, yes, I would agree brain-gut is implicated. For others I see the gut-brain being the primary area to focus on.
Thank you very much Doc for your clear presentation. I find Your voice and tone pleasant to pay attention to on the subject matter(I majored in Pharmacology - good lecturers are not easy to com by). I shall help my wife to order some soil-based prebiotics online and put her on a 3-month protocol)
Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate that! Best of luck to your wife. If she needs any additional help, she's more than welcome to work with us at the clinic too. :)
Thanks for this. After a big round of kephlex, my gut is a mesh. Then I got a stomach virus. Ugh. I ate lentils twice last week and felt like I was going to die the next day. I have an appointment with my ND today. Hope she can help .. I seem to have most of the symptoms. Thanks again. I am taking some probiotics/prebiotics
Caprylic acid with meals. Nothing else works better for ibs or gut pain healing and restore bowl movements. Keeps killing off inflammation causing factors:fungi bacteria in gut.
the study came to the conclusion that it depends on the duration if stool zonulin measurably decreases or not. you should take probiotics longer than 6 weeks then you might see a decrease in stool zonulin as well.
Thank you for this video! I am doing food-sourced probiotic: kefir, lacto-fermented veg, and some cultured (greek strain) cream. I am 2 months into the soil-based and 1 from the dairy ferments. Seeing improvement but looking for the source of relapse in some symptoms.
so glad I found your video. Fantastic information. I've been dealing with "dysbiosis" or whatever mystery for 4 years. Just this past year I've seen great improvement with the "Seed" probiotic and L.Reuteri homemade yogurt after a full month dose of Matula tea to kill off my H. Pylori.
Fibromyalgia, total body, has plagued my life for 43 years. It came on suddenly after crop duster spray planes covered the field across the street. It killed my lawn and Iris flowers. I have been an invalid off and on during this time in terrible pain. Lately I have been looking at leaky gut to see if this could be part of the problem.
Thank you for these videos. I would like to know your take on Dr. William Davis’s fermented dairy or “yogurt” protocols. Lactobacillus Reuteri and Supergut SIBO yogurts. If you are familiar with them. Thank you!
I've always taken probiotics, but recently had some troubling gut issues. Doctors only want to run $$$ tests to no avail. I did my research and added a 6oz glass of fresh Barley water and a tablespoon of goat colostrum; started feeling much better in JUST 3 weeks,w/o drugs.
@@breakinfree in my case I have auto immune condition that causes my leaky gut and I’ve tested vagal nerve function to be good. But I know vagal nerve is popular to say and treat. There’s many causes of leaky gut and dysfunction.
Doctor, if I introduce probiotics/kefir/greek yoghurt into my already leaky gut the histamines released gives me itches throughout my body. Would it not be better if I healed my leaky gut with butyric acid (large intestine), glutamine (small intestine) & stop eating gluten 1st b4 introducing those beneficial bacteria 2 my gut. Else it's just going 2 enter my bloodstream & cause histamine overload !!! Itching everywhere !!! Please confirm that my explanation is correct doctor... cos this is just my assumption... need clarity !
It’s very true what you say about (having no GI symptoms) I genuinely feel that leaky gut has been creeping in for me for over ten years I would often feel randomly unwell and it compares very similar to how I’m unwell when leaky gut flares up but without the GI symptoms However I’ve had skin problems for a similar time of over ten years I really believe this was leaky gut in the making
This is great info finally! Can't wait to give probiotics a try. One thing though, what type do i take when having histamine intolerance since some strains are known to produce more histamine in the body?
Great question. And I'll have a video out soon that touches on this in more detail, but essentially probiotics (even ones with histamine) will have an overall histamine lowering effect. However, if you really want to avoid anything with histamine you might want to avoid these strains: Lactobacillus bulgaricus Lactobacillus casei S. thermophilus Lactobacillus delbrueckii Fortunately, there's a lot of other strains available so it shouldn't be too limiting. I even have one in the shop you can check out: store.drruscio.com/products/sacchromyces-boulardii-probiotic Hope that helps!
Can two alcohol binge sessions cause leaky gut? All symptoms started after two alcohol binge sessions on a mostly empty stomach. I had intense burning in my stomach after drinking and reflux. I also started to develop rashes on my arms, sweating and sinus congestion.
leaky gut leads to celiac symptoms, I've always had celiac, never knew it, until stressful situation caused barrier to break down now i been sick for 3 years.
Thank you! I am curious about these soil-based probiotics. How are they different? Also, when working full time and leading a life, trying a new protocol can be daunting. When is it best to take these supplements? Take them with or without food? There are so many other treatments too; fiber, pre-biotic, fermentable foods, supplements.
1 year of fast food in luch in my previous job have me lwaky gut and caused sever psoriasis in my sclap/behind ears/nose. I am trying keto/carnivore diet now , I am on my first week , feelink like shit( Keto flu) but I am hoping I can stick to it and heal it eventually . They say it can take from 4 weeksnto 6 months 😢 . Wish me luck
I am confused by your probiotic dosing recommendation. In your video you recommend 1-10 billion CFU for 2-3 months yet the lacto/bifido probiotics that you linked (and showed on screen) range from 25 billion to 100 billion. So are you recommending to take those ones that you linked or not? I have also noticed that one of the probiotics you listed contains Magnesium Stearate which is supposedly toxic and not good for the gut. Can you please confirm or deny.
Great info!!! I have SIBO and leaky gut. My SIBO is chronic so I must take Xifaxin every once in a while. What is your protocol for taking probiotics with Xifaxin, Flagyl and Antimicrobials such as Oregano and Allicin?
You can often take probiotics with antibiotics. In fact, there's data to suggest that it helps maintain the gut microbiome during a course of antibiotics. I'll link an article here that I have about this: drruscio.com/taking-probiotics-with-antibiotics/ Of course, you can also run the idea by your doctor to be sure. Hope that helps!
Good point in the end. If you feel better, keep the protocol. This whole "its die off, increase the dosage, kill them kill them!" thing feels unnatural to me. and remember, probiotics come in many forms, not only in pill form
I’m currently on week 5 of a very restrictive AIP. I’m 5’8” and normally 135. I’m now down to 126 pounds. This can’t be good. I have 4 weeks to go on this a. Or sing to my functional med doc.
Histamine release resulted in a prickly sensation all over head to toes and resultantly hives outbreaks.... don't do alcohol or drugs but it was a long standing gut problem.... Dr's only prescribed antibiotics and tummy gel stuff...
Thank you for this!! I am reading your book right now as I have SIBO and leaky guy. It recommends taking saccharomyces. Do you still recommend taking that as well on top of the lacto/bifido blend and the soil based? If so, would you say one capsule a day? I appreciate all your work!
@@darkwingduck-2-1 That's a really common misconception. I've talked about probiotics for SIBO a couple times, so I'll link those videos here for you to check out: ruclips.net/video/xhEJ-1Mx54w/видео.html ruclips.net/video/JKUk5Vc1Lxw/видео.html Hopefully, those help :)
Hi Dr. Great video and information 😊 should we also be taking a prebiotic with our probiotics ? And is there anything else you can suggest my symptoms are extreme bloating after eating Anything!!! 😢😢😢 l do suffer from Hashimoto's that's all l know. Would so appreciate your help 😊Oh and lastly where can we get your probiotics please 😊
I made blood first, they could not help me, and suffered for 2 more years, and then I did the stool test, and there they immediately found that one type of bacteria that almost killed me. they put me on a one week medication, and I was feeling 70% better immediately after the first week , I was for one more year on a specific probiotics diet after that. It can be fatal to listening youtubers , rather than going to a proper clinic. Not wise. I was taking super expensive soil based probiotics and special lacto and bifido probiotics for many many prior to that for years , spending ten thousands for nothing. Go to a proper clinic: pay the high price the are asking for their knowledge and heal yourself.
Sorry to say the topic is how to fix leaky gut is forgotten,instead the talk is what is leaky gut,what is large and small intestine ,causes of leaky gut?
Wtf. Where is the information on what actual foods to help reduce leaky gut?!?!? No supplements that you get a kickback on. You can fix leaky gut with actual food. Why did you not share this information with your viewers. DO BETTER
We do have other episodes that discuss the foods and diet for leaky gut, this episode is focusing on the repair protocol. We actually have a new video with the top foods to help leaky gut symptoms coming out soon so keep your eyes open.

Well, having tried all kinds of anti microbials, the low fodmap diet, DIY semi-elemental formulas, antibiotics, various prokinetics - you name it - with only fleeting sucess - I realised maybe I have leaky gut rather than Sibo/Sifo (I had tested positive for SIBO in the past, but not always, yet the bloating and inflammation continued even on a negative result). This has been going on since experiencing food poisoning 4 years ago :(( Initially I had been put off trying probiotics (by one leading expert's warnings about them), but I realised I needed a new approach. L Glutamine definitely helped, digestive emzymes and betaine+pepsin in my case too, but the biggest surprise has been the probiotics. I'm so glad people like you are here Dr Ruscio, thank you. I am hoping I won't need to continue Resolor/Prucalopride (way too expensive here in Spain but Iberogast is in short supply and only in 20ml bottles), so I will experiment with herbal alternatives. Good luck to everyone out there - perserverence pays off!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It can be hard to navigate through all the different health guidance out there, so I'm glad you were able to find something that worked for you. :)
My wife has had similar experience to you. Then she realized foods accidentally containing sesame were a big part of problem. She had pain all the time and was told it's just mild IBS, no solution. She took one drop oil oregano for 11 days and all symptoms stopped. Then she takes one of Dr. R supplement and much of the back and muscle inflammation is changing. Hard to tell if it is the final answer as they already have injuries from accidents but at least the weight starting to be healthier as they had been underweight. Somethings take a while to figure out and adjust to. It is said that many people shouldn't eat sesame!
@@SeeWonderHaveLive That is encouraging, thank you for sharing. Sometimes small changes can make a big difference, but it's definitely hard to figure out, like you say. I hope your wife continues to improve.
Thank you. I quit alcohol soon as I watched this. Makes sense it would wash away the mucus layer I spent good money building by eating super healthily.
I used to think leaky gut was silly. I was one of those that didn’t have any gut symptoms which made me even more of a skeptic, but was very unwell. Thankfully I came around and have had a lot of healing.
Leaky gut was a diagnosis in the UK 20+ years ago…
I do not have and never had any symptoms of leaky gut but 12 years ago, I was diagnosed with coeliac disease. So stopped having gluten.
@@mysteriousoklahoma777 Why is it no longer a diagnosis?
@@Jim-K-Baker ...it still is but it's more of a new thing here in the states, many doctors still do acknowledge it.
Thank you. This is invaluable. I have had two masive bleeds due to diverticulitis and have spent this year trying to heal my gut. I will add this protocol.
I am glad I came across your video dr .I just try to introduce probiotic again these past few days .And I got the right amount of lacto&bifido bacteria on my supplement .I will be continue to consume for 2-3 months as your protocol suggest .Hope it can improve my leaky gut & ibs .
Mine turned out to be a gluten allergy. I had diarrhea a lot. After i quit gluten my leaky gut healed, and my diarrhea went away, and also had a lot of dandruff. That also went away. I was dealing with dandruff all my life and it's gone for good. 😀😀😀😀
Hello,
Could you pls explain exactly how you overcame this issue?
I have stomach problems with Dandruff since a long time and looks like all this is linked somehow. Pretty sure from your comment.
If you can guide me I'd be very happy.
I stopped eating things with gluten and both went away. Try cutting out gluten for 2 weeks and lmk. It takes about 3 days for the inflammation to go away. So after 2 weeks you should be good if you have this allergy. I now eat a lot of rice bowls for lunch, and trader joes gluten free english muffins for sandwhiches@@blivinalien3227

@jademanson9056
Did you test anything?
Like Endoscopy/colonoscopy ?
@@blivinalien3227 yes i had a colonoscopy to see if it was the issue and he found nothing.
WOW. Absolutely amazing information. Thank you! (My sad story started 7/22.) After C Diff infection, taking probiotics was very scary~ the gut is SO sensitive to everything. Left with SIBO/leaky gut☹️ I stopped using everything for a couple months....used low Fodmap diet....after several months, slloowwly introduced probiotics with IgG.... slowly added prokinetics. It's almost the 3 months mark for me with this treatment.{SIBO protocol}. I ate a little salad a couple days ago, a little salsa yesterday😊 Nothing! 😁. Things are damn near back to normal in the bathroom!.... Don't give up! Try different things for 3 months.
That’s amazing! 🙌🏻 We’re so happy to hear that. We’d love to hear more about your story if you want to share it with us. Send us an email at Marketing@DrRuscio.com. We sure would love to hear from you!
I will do that! Thank you.
This was the best explanation of leaky gut that I have found so far. Thank you so much. It is much better than " stop all gluten immediately ."😊 Thank you again.
I'm so glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for your comment!
@@DrRuscioDChi Doc I hope you are well I wanted to ask I have psoriasis on my neck and arms the doctors keep on giving me steroids cream which is not helping at all so I decided to start to eat kefir and bought skin biotics what would you suggest I’m planning to start eating only fruits and vegetables and buying probiotics tablets and eat yakult and kimchi any advise and my constipation is the worst thing I have ever come across like at times one month I don’t go at all and planning to see my doctor because it’s not healthy many thanks doc 😊
I don't think yakault will help at all. Yes to fermented foods if no pasteurisation. Make your own even better. Eat nutritious foods that are well cooked. I have to avoid most raw foods. Also time restricted eating. I'm now going to look at soil based probiotics. 😇
@@rmohamedmattan1040I'm at the beginning of body heal because of 80% body area covered by psoriasis. I can confirm that diet (healing gut) helps for psoriasis and gets rid of psoriasis skin. I make photos day by day to show after aomw time how health gut is important for our skin
You have to start drinking meat stock, introducing it really slowly like half cup per day. You will get some detox symptoms so you have to put your feetsin water with bakingsoda
I definitely think I tore up my gut lining in more ways than one western diet, stress, and some foods I had no business consuming for a prolonged amount of time like hard beef jerky that was a little too red... And dry smoked cheese...and pork from a farm in Mexico I ain't been the same since ...and then I tried to fix constipation with black cherry juice and pineapple juice for several months..when I have tough time with acidic foods..what a mess... healing vibes to everyone I finally found a functional Dr hopefully I can straighten things out
I don't think Mexico is safe lol. It's like food from Satan there. I won't even use peppers.
Dr Berg is one of my favorite doctors online, but Dr Michael Ruscio is slowly becoming part of my top ! This guy is awesome !
Thank you for your very interesting and helpful presentation.
I am in England a 68 year old male and here very few GP doctors have even heard about leaky gut or SIBO, etc, which I have been privately tested for and diagnosed with, let alone know how to treat it.
Functional medicine is way behind US levels and currently our beloved NHS government run medical service has waiting times of over a year for routine operations and 3 months for tests.
I will be introducing the type of Probiotics you described in the study into my own assessment and treatment protocol of low Fodmap no sugar and carb diet.
Thanks again Dr.Michael.
Mark Jeffries.Chichester.England.
Thank you so much for watching. I'm glad that I could give you some useful info. Best of luck with your protocol. Please let me know how it goes in a couple months!
Hello from Gosport. Good luck with healthy guts.
Is it true in England they use a lot of white flour? I never understood what is so fancy about scones and high tea if it leads to Candida! Lol what a great way to impress people Eh?
Great explanation, very easy to understand. I am now just realizing and learning the connection of my got to my whole body including my brain.
ive watched a ton of videos over that last few years, this is by far the best on leaky gut
Thank you Doctor, i agree with everything you say except the stool test part. I developed very aggressive H-Pylori in the gut in 2020 which leaked into my blood stream due to leaky gut and started attacking my heart- i almost died but thank God my GP (family Dr in the USA) had suspicions and she ordered a stool test. The test showed my infection, i was put on a couple of powerful antibiotics and my heart palpitations stopped instantly! I had leaky gut due to a bad diet and chronic stress at work. Stool tests certainly work as part of a diagnostic process to work out what is causing leaky gut in the first instance.
I agree that testing can be helpful for more severe infections and GI conditions. Especially when your practitioner recommends it. I more so mean for food sensitivities and GI mapping. Thank you for pointing that out. :)
Very interesting story...
This may be more cases then people 🤔 think....SMH
@@presidentiallsuite Yes, its a very common bad bacteria that most people don't know about. All we hear about is e-coli/salmonella etc... H-Pylori can be just as virulent. I think i got it from infected food.
Yes I understood and agree with your caution of over testing especially stool testing. But like antibiotics and steroids that are on occasion the right treatment until able to build back and restore. 😚
By any chance u recall the name of infection???
Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us, I have learned SO much from your videos about leaky gut and thyroid. I appreciate you so so much
Thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate that a LOT. And thanks for watching.
Excellent and informative video. However, as someone who has had leaky gut in the past, I began to experience immune reactivity to probiotics that I used consistently over time. I suspect that these helpful bacteria were getting into the bloodstream and triggering inflammation. It would seem that doing a reparative protocol first would be a better approach. I’m fact, this is what I ended up doing and it worked. Just my two cents. What say you?
What was your reparative protocol?
More than interested in your expericence and would be so grateful if you would share your protocol with me? 🙏
Did you fast long-term?
May i know what u did
Would be nice to hear about the reparative protocol used for leaky gut.
I had leaky gut and I did use bone borth, probiotics, MSM and slippery elm. It took me about 9 months or so..
That's great that you found a protocol that helped!
Any specific diet?
@@saffronsl I don't know what their diet was, but any anti-inflammatory diet is a great place to start. Something like paleo or low FODMAP (though low FODMAP is more restrictive, so I usually suggest trying paleo first and then moving on if that doesn't work).
Any HIGH quality one! Make sure bottle states live.....
I found bone broth made me feel sick. So stopped drinking it. L-Glutamine gave me anxiety.
Thank you Dr. Ruscio! I found this info to be very valuable for my family and my health coaching clients. Thanks for your perspective and honesty. Less really can be more.
I'm so glad you found it valuable. I appreciate the kind words!
Thank you for explaining specifically why a stool test may be ineffective. Educated patients make good patients.
Couldn't agree more!
i have psoriasis and just last month i suddenly felt bloating whenever i eat something. now I developed joint pain or maybe psoriatic artritis. I might have a leaky gut. I will try this approach while changing my diet aswell. I hope this helps. Thanks for sharing.
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with symptoms. I hope the new approach works well for you! If you ever need additional help, you can always work with us at the clinic or even our health coach. :)
Check out L-Glutamine. Low sodium organic beef and chicken bone broth. Moringa powder, matcha powder, wheat grass powder and warm lemon water.
I stopped eating nuts and it made my psoriasis 99% better
Hey I recommend the carnivore diet and bpc-157. Healed me
Vegetable and meat diet cured my psoriasis and very low carbs if any
Yes, please do a video on Candida!
Definitely noted!
Thank you. I don’t need tests I know I have gut issues. I have had heartburn and been onprevicid for 15 yrs or so, had a colonoscopy done and my doctor said I had a fantastic colon that of a 18 year old when I was 50, however my gut was a absolute disaster and put me on carafate 1 gram 4 times a day. 10 years later I have chronic diarrhea, stomach pain, ect, random feverish feelings, food allergies, another colonoscopy by a different dr and again said my colon looked good and clean did lots of biopsies that I am waiting on but said nothing about my gut. I believe my colon issues are stemming from a leaky gut. I am tired of having to be my own dr though.
Can u do a similar video on candida or gut related brain fog???
Noted!
The scd diet addresses this as well look up breaking the vicious cycle
Read about radishes and candida
Great video
@@simonchristodoulides4060 Thank you!
Thank you for the information doctor! I am currently healing my leaky gut and I have been taking probiotics. I actually found that drinking raw ginger tea with turmeric powder to help with reducing inflammation! Best combo!
What helped my leaky gut was eating clean. I have ezcema and when i eat clean i get no flare ups. Avoid things like sugar, dairy, acidic foods( apple cider vinegar, orange, etc.). The worst of all is blende sauces such as bbq, honey mustard, ranch, etc. Anytime i would eat these things i would get a flare up. Eating foods that are dry has helped me a lot. Also salads are always a good way to go when it comes to healing.
Just WOW! I just subscribed to your channel. Your video is one of very few I have seen that really resonates with me. Your research is very informative and I will be bringing this and the articles you mentioned to the attention of my Pulmonologist. I was diagnosed with “Asthma” last year at the age of 41. I have gut issues, brain fog, severe fatigue. This lung inflammation is the WORST tho! I haven’t been able to sleep in my bedroom with my husband for almost a year because of my constant, chronic coughing! The in-hailer that was prescribed doesn’t work. I’m afraid I have something called Esosinophilic Asthma or pneumonia, which would require a shot versus an in-hailer.
I don’t know if you are familiar with the GAPS diet, but I tried that twice and lost so much weight that I didn’t need to lose that I looked emaciated! Never again! However, the meat stock that is emphasized the most in this diet is supposed to help heal and seal the gut lining. I am thinking of maybe at least incorporating that back into my diet. I eat all organic, no processed foods. I cannot eat anything high in histamine, no dairy, no grains, no caffeine. I’m pretty much just eating meat, veg and some fruit. I have so many food allergies/sensitivities. I have been taking a probiotic for almost 2 years with no noticeable results! Must be the wrong Probiotic, because I noticed the other day that it has milk and soy in it!!! 🤦🏻♀️
Can you tell me why you only take the Probiotics you mentioned for 2-3 months? What should I do after that time? Thank you for sharing this VERY valuable information! ❤
The idea is that the probiotics taken over a 2 to 3 month period will heal the gut. Hopefully, after that, you've established a healthy population of the bacteria and further supplementation would not be necessary. Try taking NAC for your lung inflammation.
@@snowball1465 Thank you! I have actually been taking Liposomal Glutathione for the past 3 months. I read that it works better for some over NAC. Plus I have a methylation issue so I think the LG works better.
However, I have figured out that the root cause to my systemic health problems are my root canals and Wisdom teeth cavitations. I have been working with a biological dentist, who will be pulling the root canals and cleaning out the wisdom tooth cavitations. Read up on it and you’ll discover how awful the dental field has done us! Read about RANTES in jawbone cavitations. Dr. Johann Lechner is a very wise Dr/Biological Dentist who teaches about these dangers. He has a bunch of videos on this topic. Very important for people to know this!

Thank you very much Doc for your clear presentation. I find Your voice and tone pleasant to pay attention to on the subject matter(I majored in Pharmacology - good lecturers are not easy to com by). I shall help my wife to order some soil-based prebiotics online and put her on a 3-month protocol)

I have an appointment with my ND today. Hope she can help .. I seem to have most of the symptoms. Thanks again. I am taking some probiotics/prebiotics
Caprylic acid with meals. Nothing else works better for ibs or gut pain healing and restore bowl movements. Keeps killing off inflammation causing factors:fungi bacteria in gut.
That is great to kill Candida
the study came to the conclusion that it depends on the duration if stool zonulin measurably decreases or not. you should take probiotics longer than 6 weeks then you might see a decrease in stool zonulin as well.
This was great information since I have Leaky gut. Thanks Dr Ruscio!
Did it work?
Thank you for this video! I am doing food-sourced probiotic: kefir, lacto-fermented veg, and some cultured (greek strain) cream.
I am 2 months into the soil-based and 1 from the dairy ferments. Seeing improvement but looking for the source of relapse in some symptoms.
so glad I found your video. Fantastic information. I've been dealing with "dysbiosis" or whatever mystery for 4 years. Just this past year I've seen great improvement with the "Seed" probiotic and L.Reuteri homemade yogurt after a full month dose of Matula tea to kill off my H. Pylori.

I've always taken probiotics, but recently had some troubling gut issues. Doctors only want to run $$$ tests to no avail. I did my research and added a 6oz glass of fresh Barley water and a tablespoon of goat colostrum; started feeling much better in JUST 3 weeks,w/o drugs.

V Good Sir❤, who is best probiotics (interic coated Capsule) for Leaky gut and SIBO?🤔 🇵🇰
You are a terrific teacher! Thank you. ~Juli in FL
Doctor, if I introduce probiotics/kefir/greek yoghurt into my already leaky gut the histamines released gives me itches throughout my body. Would it not be better if I healed my leaky gut with butyric acid (large intestine), glutamine (small intestine) & stop eating gluten 1st b4 introducing those beneficial bacteria 2 my gut. Else it's just going 2 enter my bloodstream & cause histamine overload !!! Itching everywhere !!! Please confirm that my explanation is correct doctor... cos this is just my assumption... need clarity !
It’s very true what you say about (having no GI symptoms)
I genuinely feel that leaky gut has been creeping in for me for over ten years
I would often feel randomly unwell and it compares very similar to how I’m unwell when leaky gut flares up but without the GI symptoms
However I’ve had skin problems for a similar time of over ten years
I really believe this was leaky gut in the making
I'm sorry to hear that. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I had the same. Turns out it was parasites which have damaged my digestion and organs
Thank you Dr. Ruscio. Looking forward to reviewing your videos while working on my health!
Thank you for very interesting and valuable information! It would be interesting to hear your opinion about Akkermansia muciphilia
This is great info finally! Can't wait to give probiotics a try. One thing though, what type do i take when having histamine intolerance since some strains are known to produce more histamine in the body?
Great question. And I'll have a video out soon that touches on this in more detail, but essentially probiotics (even ones with histamine) will have an overall histamine lowering effect. However, if you really want to avoid anything with histamine you might want to avoid these strains: Lactobacillus bulgaricus
Lactobacillus casei
S. thermophilus
Lactobacillus delbrueckii
Fortunately, there's a lot of other strains available so it shouldn't be too limiting. I even have one in the shop you can check out: store.drruscio.com/products/sacchromyces-boulardii-probiotic Hope that helps!
Will probiotics fix the dysbiosis?
What's your thoughts on parasites ?

Can two alcohol binge sessions cause leaky gut?
All symptoms started after two alcohol binge sessions on a mostly empty stomach. I had intense burning in my stomach after drinking and reflux. I also started to develop rashes on my arms, sweating and sinus congestion.
Try electrolytes too
This is really interesting thank you. If you have IBD (UC specifically) would you recommend trying this during a flare? Thank you.

Which antibiotic improves leaky gut please?
For me Rifaximine helps . I feel more comfortable with 400 mg than 550 mg. I dont know the reason though
How about fasting?
Thank you! I am curious about these soil-based probiotics. How are they different? Also, when working full time and leading a life, trying a new protocol can be daunting. When is it best to take these supplements? Take them with or without food? There are so many other treatments too; fiber, pre-biotic, fermentable foods, supplements.

Wish me luck
I'm surprised you didn't mention fasting
I am confused by your probiotic dosing recommendation. In your video you recommend 1-10 billion CFU for 2-3 months yet the lacto/bifido probiotics that you linked (and showed on screen) range from 25 billion to 100 billion. So are you recommending to take those ones that you linked or not? I have also noticed that one of the probiotics you listed contains Magnesium Stearate which is supposedly toxic and not good for the gut. Can you please confirm or deny.
Is fasting helpful in healing leaky gut?
Thank you so much! I'm going to try this. I learned a lot!
Happy to hear it! Let me know how it goes!
Great2 thank u so so much for saving my life with this scientific data.

Great info!!! I have SIBO and leaky gut. My SIBO is chronic so I must take Xifaxin every once in a while. What is your protocol for taking probiotics with Xifaxin, Flagyl and Antimicrobials such as Oregano and Allicin?
You can often take probiotics with antibiotics. In fact, there's data to suggest that it helps maintain the gut microbiome during a course of antibiotics. I'll link an article here that I have about this: drruscio.com/taking-probiotics-with-antibiotics/ Of course, you can also run the idea by your doctor to be sure. Hope that helps!

Good point in the end. If you feel better, keep the protocol. This whole "its die off, increase the dosage, kill them kill them!" thing feels unnatural to me.

LGG kefir and running very good to lower pain sensitivity.
Hi doctor. I appreciate the information.
I made blood first, they could not help me, and suffered for 2 more years, and then I did the stool test, and there they immediately found that one type of bacteria that almost killed me. they put me on a one week medication, and I was feeling 70% better immediately after the first week , I was for one more year on a specific probiotics diet after that. It can be fatal to listening youtubers , rather than going to a proper clinic. Not wise. I was taking super expensive soil based probiotics and special lacto and bifido probiotics for many many prior to that for years , spending ten thousands for nothing. Go to a proper clinic: pay the high price the are asking for their knowledge and heal yourself.
Sorry to say the topic is how to fix leaky gut is forgotten,instead the talk is what is leaky gut,what is large and small intestine ,causes of leaky gut?
Around the 12 minute mark I give a protocol for reducing leaky gut. :)
Wtf. Where is the information on what actual foods to help reduce leaky gut?!?!?
No supplements that you get a kickback on.
