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.
thank you I will only gotten less than halfway through and I have so much pain going to the bathroom. I have constipation and diarrhea. I am low on magnesium so this is just confirmation help I'd actually take his course but stopped about halfway through so I need to go back and I'm taking his 23Tera and that helps but sells out instantly
My friend did too until she actually went through a therapist's season where they dug deep and found that she was sadly abused as a child and had never dealt with the deep pain.😢 This ordeal effected her since that tragedy. Today she's healing, definitely not in the same condition. 😊
@@binathere2574 thank you but did you noticed what are those 2 tablespoon of something that helps with bloating? Who is writing misleading text on the video ? It blows my mind
From my experience what he said is spot on, its never just one thing that you can blame for your issues, its always more than one thing that contributes to the problem.
Intermittent fasting a heavy meat diet, no seed oils or carbs, took IBS away very quickly. It didnt come back and my weight dropped as well. I'm 55 years old. I wish I had found this way of eating long ago.
What blood group are you? Type O? I am blood group A and told by a nutritionist to try eat oily fish , lentils and various beans which does feel right. Carnivore diet is great for blood group O , I believe!!
This is one of the better videos I’ve come across on the gut. Great interviewee. Would like to see more content like this, Thomas where you sit down with experts. Also would like to commend you for allowing him to speak. There was no interrupting and it made for a refreshing flow. Good quality content here.
I love this Doctor! Can you have him on MORE! I have been suffering my entire life with digestive problems, every gastro I saw (13 in total) sucked wind, lol. This guy actually is worth his salt. I'm so glad you have him on but please bring him back! He's literally AMAZING! Thank you, Thomas :)
Me too, I think that exactly what is missing in most doctors America, they never think out of the box and try to connect the dot, to see what’s really going on which the patients, to point I lost faith, IV been telling doctors for years that what ever problem I have it’s from my gut, they brush me off

Those anti psychotic medications can constipate you or make it worse if you do have constipation. I know I took the medication I was on those drugs so I am aware of that. Then they enlarge your bustline & your wasteland. They will make you bloat. That is what the start was of me becoming more healthy. If you can stay off them I would do it. Don't make the mistake I did with going on those the drugs.
Thats always the first push, is antidepressants...total BS. The next dr that trys that with me will get shut down quick. Damn drug dealers..if they dont pay attention to digestion, sleep, nutrition, and try to prescribe phsyche meds is not qualified as far as Im concerned. This country is being misdiagnosed, and drugged.
He wrote a book and he is on UTube being interviewed if I remember correctly, plus he did say he has and online coarse. He’s on FB, Instagram and tic tok
Thank you doctor for treating the body as a whole biological entity. I am sick and tired of being treated as separate body parts by different “specialists “ who don’t want to connect the symptoms and treat you to cure you.
Sugar is the scandal of the century . Just like the promotion of smoking in the 50’s ,, it’s all A-lie and designed to get you and keep you sick . So profitable, so brilliant . Deal me in
I love this guy! I joined Zoe cause of him! I’ve noticed artificial sweeteners cause me to crave sugar! Like just a Diet Coke can seem to lead me down that rabbit hole to an evening of chocolate cookies and pastry. So now I’ve stopped bringing those things into my home. It starts at the grocery store- day 5 of no sugar and I already feel better!!!
WHen I tell people that DIet Coke will make you fatter, they look at me like I have horns growing out of my head. Just drink water instead or carbonated mineral water if you want that fizz. And if you still want a Coke occasionally, just drink a regular Coke (preferably one imported from Mexico where they use real sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup). I weaned myself of of Coke by drinking Topo Chico, a carbonate mineral water from Mexico, and now Cokes just taste NASTY to me.
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.
Magnesium Oxide, Magnesium Sulfate, Magnesium Citrate Start with 500 mg before bedtime. Can go to higher (750,100 mg) dosage depending how your body reacts.
Interesting the Recommended Daily Allowance for Magnesium for men is 420 and for Women 320. FYI I recently heard magnesium plays a vital role in the absorption of Vitamin D. 🙂
If you are a woman with daily progressive abdominal bloating and watching this please go get an MRI. For years I thought I had gut issues but in fact I had several huge (and thankfully benign) tumors obstructing my upper and lower GI. 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.
“Go get an MRI” like you can just walk in and order one yourself. Doctors these days gaslight you when you tell them your symptoms and only like prescribe medications. I can’t see any doctor ordering an MRI for this.
@@someoneyoudontknow7705 TRUTH. My husband is a Mil. vet & he gets better care than in the regular medical industry. I won't even go into the lack of dental care which is vital to health too. They're more thorough & get them right in for specific tests. He's getting a CTscan Monday just based on one doctors exam. They don't mess around & I appreciate that
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 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
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.
I suffered for years also with your symptoms, manly constipation and gas, trued everything apart from avoiding dairy, booked in for a colonic irrigation on Saturday that's how bad it is, gonna go dairy free as of then.
My gastroenterologist told me don’t eat nut, alcohol, citrus skins of fruit or legumes and any seedy type fruit such as blueberries etc. But he didn’t tell tell me what I could eat and how was the best way to prepare. I asked him a few times but he just said anything. I really struggled this past year. I was so relieved to listen to your podcast. I love it. So informative and so very helpful . I want to learn more and what is your cook book called. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s taken me 20 years to work out what’s happening with my hives and gut issues and you have explained everything in a 12min video. 👏 thank you!! I never had these problems growing up. It wasn’t until my son was diagnosed with autism when all these problems started. It’s amazing what the state of your gut health can do to you physically. I’m now upping my magnesium intake.
I hate to break to you been there done that. Magnesium will do nothing and be very careful dosing your child. Didn’t make a difference at all. All it does is get you tired through out the day and your stomach hurts. Even if you get passed that no difference in day to day. These doctors giving advice never been through what we’ve been through so they stick to conventional way of thinking. Bless you.
where did you hear that? mag deficiency is a maor cause of health issues including heart and joint health. Not by it self, but it counts. @@mataperro818
@@mataperro818so then what do you recommend?! I have been taking magnesium and I'm going to the bathroom better, my appetite is better, little to no bloating and better at digesting food now. It may not have worked for you. Doesn't mean it won't for others
@@lucylucy2171 I’m glad it helped you. No need to be so offensive like you stated it may help but it’s not treating the under lying cause. It helped us out to but that’s just it, it just helped not put in remission or cured anything. Let me ask you do you think it’s better to take a multi mineral supplement or a single mineral? Do you think it’s better to take a multi vitamin or an isolated vitamin?
Hi, I’ve heard that a damaged gut needs to heal first before we can add fiber, fruits and vegetables. Carnivore diet for a solid 3 months will heal the gut. Then we can try to introduce fiber, fruits and vegetables one at a time to see how our gut reacts. I have diverticulitis and fibromyalgia but also had endometriosis. I suffered terribly with gas and bloating my whole life, fatigue, pain and weight gain. Since being on the carnivore diet for just a couple of weeks and I’ve lost 6 lbs and my pain and fatigue are getting better. It’s something to look into… processed food needs to be totally avoided and eating grass fed/organic meat is key
I’m just going to go for it. I was on a cocktail of prescribed psychotropic medications from age 8 to 18. Now approaching 40 a feel as though I have been constipated my whole adult life.
Very excellent and informative doctor. This interview deserves 200%. Well done. I have learnt so much as someone who has gerd for 32 years now. Doc spoke on every issue I have. God bless him.
A lot of what we suffer from is too much sugar, cut out the breads, alcohol, sweets and do intermittent fasting and your gut will heal. I also added probiotics to my diet. Literally healed myself within 4 to 5 days. I didn't realize that sugar is in everything and it really destroy on intestinal track. I feel so much better now. Anti inflammatory foods and supplements help also.
This information is excellent!!! A good read is Metabolical by Dr. Lustig who provides similar info..Dr. Lustig is a retired pediatric endocrinologist. His book makes two points: Protect the liver, Feed the gut. The gut microbiome is of utmost importance when it comes to health in general. I am a believer b/c I've been able to heal my gut and the suffering due to bloat, gas, and abdominal pain is gone.
I've been munching around 3 or 4 teaspoons of chia seeds a day and taking magnesium glycinate and have had great motility since I started doing this back in Dec., '23.
Magnesium over 800 mg gives me the $#!+$. Chia needs to be soaked. Eat it like pudding with plenty of extra water. Most people are actually dehydrated because they don't drink enough water
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.
@@almaburns6562 I avoid fruit juices. I choose the whole fruit, but when I do eat fruit it's most often berries. Occasionally I'll buy fresh pineapple and it's interesting that we're having this discussion, because about 3 weeks ago I bought a pineapple slicer, but I've yet to pick up a pineapple.
@@dianasolfest7237 he explained that in the video. It has to do with being fresher. Frozen vegetables are done so right away whereas fresh produce has to travel long distances, unless you're buying it locally or growing it yourself.
Not mistaken this is the gastroenterologist that developed a product called Antrantil for methane SIBO sufferers who usually suffer with constipation. It has helped me tremendously.
This may well be the best explanation in a nutshell of the gut giome & motility I've heard. Thank you for your presentation which was well paced & informative.
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.
I think that this may have been your best interview yet. What helpful and well presented information by Dr Bulsiewicz and great questions throughout. I would love to see a few more interviews with this doctor.
Thomas, one important thing was missed in this video. These videos interviewing professionals has been really great lately. Low thiamine levels contribute significantly to constipation. I've had multiple clients who found this to be the missing link. Thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1, directly affect the way the muscles contract along the intestinal tract. B1 blood serum levels drops significantly from high carb meals and sugar. Especially from processed carbs.
I really get confused with B1 and Thaimine some people say they are not the same because some doctors here on YT says use B1, then they come back and say benfortiamine or Thaimine or Nutritional Yeast! I think they should just tell you a brand and dosage that you can use
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.
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 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 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.
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.
I tried to get my gastroenterologist wouldn't even consider SIBO, she insisted it was Opioid induced constipation. Colonoscopy biopsy indicated Microscopic Colitis. Nothing is helping. Going into year 4. This MC has ending any kind of "good life" I'm looking for a new gastroenterologist. WOW. You're the first Doc that I've heard mention Histamine leaking into the system. I've never had allergies, nor rashes, nor headaches with massive fatigue until the last several months. My skin is horrible, my hair is thinning, I had to have open heart surgery, which was supposed to fix the fatigue, I have massive gas. By the way I was on Keto when this started & weighed 135 now in year 4, 183lbs. I don't eat much. My DIL, a Nurse practitioner & is so surprised I'm gaining weight, however I was on budesonide for a year.
@@littlevoice_11CV won't fix it (not in my case). I've taken acv for over a decade, only this very week I've struggled massively with bloating (caused likely by strawberries - of all things).
@MrGB1999 it depends in the cause too. ACV is great for stomach acide regulation. But if the issue is lack of digestive enzymes, issues with gastric emptying, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, gut inflammation, IBS, microbiome imbalance, stress, poor nutrition quality, over or under hydration, timing of food etc.
Psyllium Husk is an awesome way to feed the micro biome with the type of fibre it needs to thrive. Also it REALLY helps forms good mass and clean finish. Many other benefits too!
I used to turn red after I ate and sometimes got welts, etc., not to mention other systemic issues (histamine and leaky gut). I quit drinking high fructose corn syrup (Gatorade, etc.).took a probiotic, and cleaned up my diet a bit and ten years of bad symptoms were gone in thirty days. It's been fine ever since and that was 13 years ago. I was clueless and suffered for all that time for no reason. This video is going to end up helping someone who doesn't otherwise know how to fix their issues and will save them lots of issues. Good work, Thomas!
@@RA82828 How can you make it taste better and get past the smell? My husband loves it, I almost gag when I smell it. And if it tastes as bad it smells, I can't imagine. I love regular yogurt with fruit though and sometimes put granola on it. Yum.
I have those systemic issues too after eating I’m sure it’s histamine can you tell me which probiotic you took. They don’t all look the same that’s for sure thanks so much

The straw conversation BLEW my mind! I have horrible gas (that lead me to this video) in addition to slow motility and constipation. I am an avid straw user all day long. I have no idea if changing this single habit would change all my issues, but I am going to 100% try it to see if affects my horrible gas.
omg, you are the first doctor who actually explained the true connection between histamine and damaged gut, because I m having gas, frequent farting, and sinusitis.
A gynecologist explained to me that in women, IBS can be "constipation diarrhea". They develop poor ligamental support in the pelvic floor due to stressors like childbirth, heavy lifting or exercise. This allows "kinking" in the gut. This causes partial blockages. Then only liquid stool can pass it after building up pressure to push past the blockage.
A Vegan diet for over 12 years actually created IBS and a leaky gut for me! I was eating tons of fiber, and getting more constipated, bloated and sick by the year. When I finally woke up and stopped the Vegan plant based nonsense, ALL MY BLOATING and IBS WENT AWAY! In the first 3 days! Now I'm on a ketovore type of diet and feeling amazing! Eating plant based isn't, at least for me the healthier way to go. It can actually create serious illness. Thank you for an informative discussion!
Me also. Very long story short, took 6 months of carnivore for my gut to calm down. Most of my autoimmune symptoms are gone. I was diagnosed with SIFO from aspergillus a few years ago. I was a mess.
Glad to hear you finally understand we are not vegan specific. I wish I could get this through to my daughter who is vegan, eats too much fermented soy/tofu crap. I wonder how we survived European winter and North American winter with just a vegan plant based diet? Rhetorical.
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.
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.
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
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. Good luck
Could also be Sibo. I’m currently treating mine and I’ll feel so much better but sugar or anything the body turns into sugar, sets it off more than anything
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
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 great information. What he says is absolutely spot on. It took me decades to realize I was constipated b/c I had a daily bowel movement so how could I be constipated, right?. In my 30's my stool became pencil thin. Colon cancer etc was ruled out and I was diagnosed with IBS..mine was constipation dominant...I used laxatives often. I then added magnesium citrate daily and it helped a lot... decades later I found out I had abdominal migraine which absolutely does affect motility. Ajovy, which is a monoclonal antibody developed for migraine, and for which I was prescribed for my vestibular migraine was a game changer for me. For the first time in 40 years I had normal bowel movements with no straining..I was able to change/improve my gut microbiome b/c I was able to change my diet and eat high fiber foods without gas, bloating or pain. Life is so much better now and I feel better in my 70's than I did in my 30's.
@@ireneturner2944 I eat both soluble and insoluble fiber from real food, not fiber supplements, and plenty of it daily, and spread it out so I have some at every meal.....when it comes to bread, I limit white bread, whole wheat bread, etc...these are made from flour..you want a true whole grain bread, like Ezekial bread. I eat Simply Nature sprouted 7 grain bread made from whole wheat berries. and other whole grains..you can see the smashed fiber in these breads....at first they didn't taste as good to me, but it didn't take long for me to prefer them...I will eat white bread occasionally but not routinely...The bulk of my daily diet is real food that has minimal processing .. ..fruit like apples,berries,watermelon, pears, canteloupe etc and veggies like potatoes,carrots, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, brussle sprouts, etc...nuts, seeds...when you eat high fiber foods it's important to drink plenty of liquids/water, skip the comercial fruit juices, you can use them to flavor your water...eat an orange instead of drinking orange juice...The main thing is you want both kinds of fiber and plenty of it...this is an example of what I eat in a day: breakfast for me is often sprouted grain bread toasted, spread with sun butter, sprinkled with sunflower kernels and and fresh apple slices......lunch is a sandwich made with 7 grain bread, protein, tomatoes, cucumber slices, mayo and on the side some raw carrots...and a few potato chips ...yes, they are crap carbs too, but it's not about being 'good' or perfect, it's about eating foods you enjoy that are mostly good for you.....supper is protein, fat and carbs from veggies vs pasta etc..pasta isn't the main thing in a meal for me...I'll eat spaghetti, heavy on the meat/protein, sauce and light on the pasta, with a nice green salad loaded with real veggies and dressed with a salad dressing that I enjoy/like......I limit what I call crap carbs...cookies, cake, ice cream, chocolate although I do eat them once a day but if I want something else sweet that day, I eat a fruit based sweet like sliced fresh strawberries, with pecans, sour cream tossed in whipped topping and a sprinkle of mini semi sweet chocolate chips(heavy on the berries)..There's a book titled Metabolical written by a pediatric endocrinologist--his name escapes me at the moment...the take-away from his book is to 'protect the liver, feed the gut" ...you do that by eating real food that is high in both kinds of fiber..it doesn't mean you never eat other things you love..like ice cream...I love it..but I limit it and when I do eat it I add nuts to it ... and I eat real ice cream b/c fat slows down digestion and has a positive effect on blood sugar and insulin. If you eat plenty of both kinds of fiber you will find it is filling and it will fix your gut..most of us have too many of the bad bacteria in our gut..eat the good 'guys' and they will take care of the bad guys and you will find it makes a huge difference in your gut health...the gut microbiome is, I believe as do many others, the key to good health along with a healthy liver..
@@noonecares3821 It's pain in the abdomen caused by the same action that causes migraine, ..it is more common in children, but adults have it too..often it is diagnosed as IBS and it can be misdiagnosed as diverticulosis b/c docs look for the cause of the pain and on testing discover their patient has diverticula,which are pockets in the colon, and they conclude that is the cause of the pain...but that diagnosis is based on assumption...it's diagnosis by elimation. They rarely if ever consider abdominal migraine and they conclude it is rare in adults..I had migraine for 9 years in my thirties...it went away...but it didn't go away...my symptoms changed...and 4 decades later the progression of my vestibular migraine became apparent..it started in childhood with abdominal pain which was diagnosed as constipation...I was given a lot of Ex-lax as a kid. It usually takes decades for the dots to be connected...Dr. Teixido on youtube is a neruo-otologist who specializes in migraine and is an expert in vestibular migraine..there are many kinds of migraine, and they share similar symptoms but each kind of migraine has a signifying symptom that points to the particular kind of migraine a person has. Of note, Menieres, Mal DeDebarqment and Verstibular migraine share many of the same symptoms and it can be difficult getting the right diagnosis b/c there are no definitive tests for any of them.
I used to have an F grade gut biome in Highschool with occasional ulcers and constant indigestion even though I ate clean. Fast forward 20 years later and I have what I call a Superman stomach!!! I've been keto and regular fasting for 5 years now and while I often attribute my strength, flexibility, physic, low body fat, etc on my diet and exercise i believe a lot of it is due to me fixing my gut. I can do spicy foods and abuse myself with too much coffee etc and have a great immune system etc. a few big tricks that helped me ...I break my fast with bone broth and collagen daily and do kefir and small amounts of fruit daily.

Give or take a couple hours. 16/17 hours is the common regular daily routine and often once or twice a week I do 18-22 hrs. I often only eat 2 massive meals a day and avoid snacking like the plague as it's bad for all sorts of systems but that's a whole other conversation. Eat like a king anytime you put a single calorie in your body for optimal health. Big tip I learned later on is ***After doing daily fasting for several months you'll want to switch to alternate day fasting to keep your metabolism at the same pace so natural homeostasis doesn't kick in and down regulate your metabolism. ETRF is another good fasting method that might be even better and I do on some of the days I am more active early on. That is early time restricted feeding where you break your fast early on in the morning and you just quit eating much earlier like say you break your fast at seven or 8 AM but then you're gonna wanna be done eating your last meal by 4pm. ETRF has added benefits of the body's natural rhythms but is tough for me most days because I like to eat dinner with my wife and she isn't off work until 5pm. Fasting and keto has fixed my severe hypoglycemia which is another thing Doctors say is absolutely incurable! I can get through serious workouts deep into a fasted state like up to 22 hours which has added HGH and testosterone boosting properties and helps you directly tap into fat supplies for super efficient weight loss. Good luck!
Absolutely fantastic.... I can relate to many of the issues he is talking about. I am finally noticing issues I have had insomnia, food sensitivity, histamine, insulin resistance are all linked to my broken gut 🙆♀️ I am currently being treated for sibo, candida and leaky gut 🤦♀️
Thank you. Just to add my problem that no-one mentions, I swallow air when drinking hot tea/coffee. Each sip is combined with a mouthful of cooling air then swallowed. I find that breathing out before swallowing makes a huge difference.
Thomas thank you so much for mentioning your histamine issues. I stopped on this video randomly for something to watch while on the elliptical. I had no idea I’d stumble into my main issue of histamine intolerance. I was happy to learn of how the supplement you mentioned might help me as well. I hope to hear more on your channel about histamine issues!
Women who have taken blended hormone replacement therapy containing premarin (progesterone) may have gas & bloating from ovarian carcinomas. I lost a dear friend to OC who had been told my multiple doctors that she had IBS. She had no idea that bloating can be a symptom of ovarian cancer. One more needless death of a beautiful soul from our realm.
I lost a friend to OC from taking Premarin also. So sad her Dr never mentioned it. I had left nursing & when we had lunch one day & she told me she bloated each time she ate I urged her to see a GYN. She was already Stage4 & passed away just 2 years later.
Loved this interview. I've subscribed to his and your channel. I've had digestive issues for years due to past surgeries & radiation & am now developing sensitivities to many foods & drinks. Trying different diets( no gluten, fats, sugars, processed carbs, alcohol, caffeine ). Will investigate quercetin. Thank you much & many blessings to you.
Oh, I found my doctor. May I tell my story? I'm now 76 yrs old, and almost 5' in height. Before I went on low carb early January of last year, I had been suffering from IBS for over 30 years. No doctor ever gave a name for my leaky gut, but I labelled it as IBS since my experience fits the description given by others on you tube. The episode I usually go through when IBS strikes is like this: you start feeling some pain below the abdomen, and so you go to the toilet. It will take some time before the first poop comes out. While waiting, the pain starts to build up, your stomach is bloated, you might vomit (which can be very relieving), and then you might have to change clothes because they are drenched with sweat. It might take several hours before hard poops are fully evacuated. And then the time you start feeling real relief is when the soft waste come out and then followed by a series of ejections of watery waste. In the early years, this episode would last probably 3-5 hours. It increased over the years to about 7 hours or more. The last time (March 2021), it lasted for almost 12 hrs. I passed out once because of this (1997), went to hospital on 3 different occasions; the first two were triggered by orange and pineapple, and the last one ( 2021) was due to a milk formulated for seniors, which I bought simply to please a promoter. I underwent a colonoscopy, but it was unsuccessful bcoz the device couldn't go through (but I still paid the entire amount for this). I felt so frustrated, so I tried to find out what can be done without doctor's help. Fast forward, I went on low carb in 2022, followed strictly the diet, and after 2 weeks, l experienced peace in my gut During the entire year, I didn't have any IBS episode. I was elated. Of course, I became very thin (frm 54 kgs - 39kgs). I didn't mind, so long as I had peace in my gut. After over a year, I thought I could introduce some change so I could gain some weight. Starting March of this year, started taking in a little more carbs: 3 slices of sweet potatoes or half cup of rolled oats. Very occasionally, when relatives visit, I would have rice or even a small pc of cake. The problem is that I have been experiencing some discomfort - bloating, gas and some pain - everytime my abdomen wants to be evacuated. This has been going on for about 3 weeks now. My question - could this be because of the carbs I reintroduced into my diet? Today, I took my first meal without the extra carbs, and plan to do the same in the weeks to come. If I improve, then I will have to do strict low carb (at least most of the time) the rest of my life - if that's how I will have to continue having peace in my gut. I shall share the result later. Hopefully, this can add, albeit in a very small way, to the documentation on low carb lifestyle. Thanks for reading.
After 20 plus years talking to so many GI doctors or general practitioners I only feel at peace in my gut on Keto. They gave me the whole FODMAPS BS and it never worked. The only problem is my own laziness and I love to eat carbs!! When I was on Keto I could eat any cruciferous vegetables!! Zero gas. Once I start eating an everyday American diet I bloat and IBS full swing. I wish I could just eat what I want. 😢 I am going back to Keto and working on my cooking skills and variety. I hope you find your way too.
thank you for sharing the details of your struggle I am very interested in the future attempts which you make which hopefully settle your issues please let me know thank you very much
Your pain and the time it took you to relieve yourself sounds just awful! I feel so sorry for your troubles and hope returning to low carb has again been your answer.
Oh trust me , I sympathize with you! I’ve had IBS for 35+ years too… but now I’ve learned to control it with what not to eat… yes! It’s trial & error, ok.. also check into your Thiamine level, this directly affects the gut issues… Good Luck! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
As you said, there are many reasons for bloating! One reason that I recently learned about is Ovarian Cancer. My friend had no idea why she felt so bloated and she tried everything - doctors, a nutritionist, changed to an even healthier diet, exercised daily and taught Pilates etc. Two months later she found out too that she had stage 4 ovarian cancer.
@@pat4005 Thank you but she lost the battle 6 months after diagnosis. I try to let as many people know about the signs of this awful 'silent killer' because it seems all of the women I know have no idea! Common symptoms: Unexplained fatigue, Unexplained weight gain or loss, Appetite loss, feeling full quickly or constant indigestion, Abdominal or pelvic pain, Persistent abdominal pain and bloating, Changes in bowel habits such as constipation, Urinaty changes such as frequency or urgency, Increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal bloating...etc Please look it up and pass it on. Thank you xxx
@@dividivi2369had those symptoms and had a pelvic ultrasound and my ovaries were fine but I had a tiny fibroid . I was tested for H Pylori and yes I had it . Hormonal imbalance during perimenopause changed my gut bacteria . I had really bad acid reflux and had an endoscopy. Everything was fine no cancer . I am a lot better now but still a bit lactose intolerance . If you have any symptoms of digestive problems, just ask the doctor to check for ovarian cancer and stomach cancer . When you visit a doctor they just put you on Nexium and in the long run you will end up with B12 deficiency and osteoporosis.
If you check magnesium from drawing blood, it may not be as accurate as a hair and tissue analysis. The bodies always pulling or pushing nutrients in and out of the blood as necessary so it may show the magnesium is fine when in fact, it’s been starved out of another part of the body to make the blood seem normal
I find it interesting that my grandmother who was a district nursing assistant back in the 1940 somethings, always said that what comes out of your body is a good indicator of what your health is like. What goes around comes around, simple observation is often the best detection method.
This is GREAT! I actually started exhaling before I drink to keep from swallowing air….Thanks for this interview..I feel like he’s speaking to me and my friends who struggle with these issues daily!
I was so impressed by the logic of this caring doctor that I found his book, “Fiber Fueled!” I’m excited to read more of how he thinks to help me!! Thank you for this wonderful interview!!
Thank you for having Dr Bulsiewicz on this information session. This was super informative and I learned a lot that I hadn’t heard elsewhere or from any other doc before. Big thanks again!
Love Dr. B. So glad you had him on. I went plant based a year and a half ago and ate way to much fiber at first. The great news is I started actually going to the bathroom everyday(when I ate meat I wouldn’t go for up to 6 days) but man the bloating and gas! Moderation
I found a research paper years ago that said blood types play a huge part . Blood type A have digestive challenges compared to O. Type O should not be a vegetarian but meat eaters. Blood type A should be a vegetarian.
@@andreathemisses1422 utter nonsense lol. Humans evolved to eat mostly fiber in the form of plants, blood type doesn't matter. My ex was type O and thrived on plants.
I used magnesium for a long time and it worked, but with me it caused a lot of gas and bloating. After about a year it quit working completely. That is the problem. Whenever I find something that works, it eventually stops working. I have tried using probiotics and they bloat me as well. I was finally put on Linzess and it worked really well until it didn't. I also suffer with prolapse issues and weakened pelvic muscles due to having 5 babies. I have had two separate surgeries for this and they eventually weakened and I am sure constipation had a lot to do with that. It is a daily struggle for me because I have more than one thing going on. I am now 64 and I have to wonder how bad this is going to be in 10 to 20 years from now.
Great interview! So much useful information. Most people are too embarrassed to talk about bowel movements and gut issues, but we’d probably resolve a lot of health issues if we improved our gut microbiome and had better bowel movements.
@@Ann_Miller_Proves_GOD What the hell does that mean? My handle says DESSERT FIRST not SATAN FIRST. Not that you should judge people based on “names” used in social media.
Thank you for stressing the importance of the holistic approach. I've had gut issues for over 30 years and was diagnosed with IBS ages ago. I have also struggled with many other issues and have dealt with so many specialists for each of them. I was led to believe by general practitioners that my gut problems were caused by the other problems (and stress), but now it makes so much more sense to recognize hat the unaddressed gut issues are probably causing the other problems.
I have been on pain meds for 17 years , lost my son and then from the stress I developed Diverticulitis and colitis. I believe the meds caused it then the grief kicked it into gear. Painful !
It helps when you have a competent doctor. The first gastroenterologist that I went to didn't know what Betaine HCL was. I was both disappointed and shocked and never went back to that doctor smh.
They only learn what they are told to learn. We all have this idea that doctors are always doing research, they aren't. If there is a change in treatment protocols their governing bodies will tell them.
This Dr is incredible! Day 4 of magnesium & metamucil & I woke up the past two mornings with a flat stomach for the first time in over 6 years. My Gi gave me miralax to try after an x-ray showed constipation even though I was having several BMs a day. It didn’t work well. This guy is on the money here, such valuable information! Thank you!
A2 milk has a different protein from older breeds of cows,NOT bred for high milk production, I dont want to give up milk as I am already a bad celiac and nightshade intolerant.However ready to try whatever.
I've been with GI issues ever since I can remember. Then in 2022 I had a bout of gallbladder stones and bile duct stones, not knowing what I was getting myself into my doctor convinced me to remove my gallbladder now, before a future emergency could happen. Ever since removal of my gallbladder, my life has not been the same, and not in a good way. I have major gut issues now, even worse than before when I had my gallbladder. Could you share some video regarding post-cholecystectomy syndrome, and any advice you could share with me, please? Now, I have IBS and this awful PC-syndrome, very hard to live a normal life at this point. Doctors want to give me medications, like anti-cholinergic or Creon but my system is so sensitive right now, anything I put in my body doesn't really help, not even digestive enzymes. Thank you.

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.
This is so very valuable!

Burping is also being low on hydrochloric acid

I am low on magnesium so this is just confirmation help I'd actually take his course but stopped about halfway through so I need to go back and I'm taking his 23Tera and that helps but sells out instantly
I love it when these guys say, "don't do this without asking your doctor." If we trusted our doctor, we would not be watching this video.

Go carnivore. I beat it after 15 years brother. No bloating, no inflammation, no bleeding. 3 years now. Easy fix.
My friend did too until she actually went through a therapist's season where they dug deep and found that she was sadly abused as a child and had never dealt with the deep pain.😢 This ordeal effected her since that tragedy. Today she's healing, definitely not in the same condition. 😊
My sister had that - she's much better since she worked on her gut health and limited her sugar intake (which kills the gut biome)

From my experience what he said is spot on, its never just one thing that you can blame for your issues, its always more than one thing that contributes to the problem.

This is one of the better videos I’ve come across on the gut. Great interviewee. Would like to see more content like this, Thomas where you sit down with experts. Also would like to commend you for allowing him to speak. There was no interrupting and it made for a refreshing flow. Good quality content here.

I went to a gastro for IBS and he offered my anti-psychotic medication. I suggested that he take that prescription.
Those anti psychotic medications can constipate you or make it worse if you do have constipation. I know I took the medication I was on those drugs so I am aware of that. Then they enlarge your bustline & your wasteland. They will make you bloat. That is what the start was of me becoming more healthy. If you can stay off them I would do it. Don't make the mistake I did with going on those the drugs.
Funny
Thats always the first push, is antidepressants...total BS. The next dr that trys that with me will get shut down quick. Damn drug dealers..if they dont pay attention to digestion, sleep, nutrition, and try to prescribe phsyche meds is not qualified as far as Im concerned.

WHen I tell people that DIet Coke will make you fatter, they look at me like I have horns growing out of my head. Just drink water instead or carbonated mineral water if you want that fizz. And if you still want a Coke occasionally, just drink a regular Coke (preferably one imported from Mexico where they use real sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup).
I weaned myself of of Coke by drinking Topo Chico, a carbonate mineral water from Mexico, and now Cokes just taste NASTY to me.
Never had gut issues until entering peri-menopausal. Wish this was touched on more. Great info!
I have the same experience.😔
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.

If you are a woman with daily progressive abdominal bloating and watching this please go get an MRI. For years I thought I had gut issues but in fact I had several huge (and thankfully benign) tumors obstructing my upper and lower GI. 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.
Do you mean fibroid tumors?
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽My friend had a similar experience.

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.
How was your abdominal migraine diagnosed?
@@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
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.
I suffered for years also with your symptoms, manly constipation and gas, trued everything apart from avoiding dairy, booked in for a colonic irrigation on Saturday that's how bad it is, gonna go dairy free as of then.
My gastroenterologist told me don’t eat nut, alcohol, citrus skins of fruit or legumes and any seedy type fruit such as blueberries etc. But he didn’t tell tell me what I could eat and how was the best way to prepare. I asked him a few times but he just said anything. I really struggled this past year. I was so relieved to listen to your podcast. I love it. So informative and so very helpful .

It helped us out to but that’s just it, it just helped not put in remission or cured anything. Let me ask you do you think it’s better to take a multi mineral supplement or a single mineral? Do you think it’s better to take a multi vitamin or an isolated vitamin?
Hi, I’ve heard that a damaged gut needs to heal first before we can add fiber, fruits and vegetables. Carnivore diet for a solid 3 months will heal the gut. Then we can try to introduce fiber, fruits and vegetables one at a time to see how our gut reacts. I have diverticulitis and fibromyalgia but also had endometriosis. I suffered terribly with gas and bloating my whole life, fatigue, pain and weight gain. Since being on the carnivore diet for just a couple of weeks and I’ve lost 6 lbs and my pain and fatigue are getting better. It’s something to look into… processed food needs to be totally avoided and eating grass fed/organic meat is key
I’m just going to go for it. I was on a cocktail of prescribed psychotropic medications from age 8 to 18. Now approaching 40 a feel as though I have been constipated my whole adult life.
Great interview you allowed him to speak freely... easy to follow👍🏾
Very excellent and informative doctor. This interview deserves 200%. Well done. I have learnt so much as someone who has gerd for 32 years now. Doc spoke on every issue I have. God bless him.
The best Gastroenterologist I ever seen 😍 as nurse
A lot of what we suffer from is too much sugar, cut out the breads, alcohol, sweets and do intermittent fasting and your gut will heal. I also added probiotics to my diet. Literally healed myself within 4 to 5 days. I didn't realize that sugar is in everything and it really destroy on intestinal track. I feel so much better now. Anti inflammatory foods and supplements help also.
This holistic approach is so important. So many things happening in our bodies are connected.
This information is excellent!!! A good read is Metabolical by Dr. Lustig who provides similar info..Dr. Lustig is a retired pediatric endocrinologist. His book makes two points: Protect the liver, Feed the gut. The gut microbiome is of utmost importance when it comes to health in general. I am a believer b/c I've been able to heal my gut and the suffering due to bloat, gas, and abdominal pain is gone.
I've been munching around 3 or 4 teaspoons of chia seeds a day and taking magnesium glycinate and have had great motility since I started doing this back in Dec., '23.
NEVER eat chia seeds dry, Always put it in liquid and drink more liquid after.
Dec '22?
Magnesium over 800 mg gives me the $#!+$. Chia needs to be soaked. Eat it like pudding with plenty of extra water. Most people are actually dehydrated because they don't drink enough water
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 find that drinking pineapple juice helps. Pineapple contains bromelin.
@@almaburns6562 I avoid fruit juices. I choose the whole fruit, but when I do eat fruit it's most often berries. Occasionally I'll buy fresh pineapple and it's interesting that we're having this discussion, because about 3 weeks ago I bought a pineapple slicer, but I've yet to pick up a pineapple.
@@OnlyTheBest345Can I ask why buying the frozen vegetables has anything to do with histamines? Thanks for replying, very curious about this.
@@dianasolfest7237 he explained that in the video. It has to do with being fresher. Frozen vegetables are done so right away whereas fresh produce has to travel long distances, unless you're buying it locally or growing it yourself.
Not mistaken this is the gastroenterologist that developed a product called Antrantil for methane SIBO sufferers who usually suffer with constipation. It has helped me tremendously.
This may well be the best explanation in a nutshell of the gut giome & motility I've heard. Thank you for your presentation which was well paced & informative.
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.
I think that this may have been your best interview yet. What helpful and well presented information by Dr Bulsiewicz and great questions throughout. I would love to see a few more interviews with this doctor.
Same, I thought the very same.
Thomas, one important thing was missed in this video. These videos interviewing professionals has been really great lately. Low thiamine levels contribute significantly to constipation. I've had multiple clients who found this to be the missing link. Thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1, directly affect the way the muscles contract along the intestinal tract. B1 blood serum levels drops significantly from high carb meals and sugar. Especially from processed carbs.
Benfotiamine & TTFD FTW!
How much?
@@Mafronk21start low, go slow. See EOnutrition
I really get confused with B1 and Thaimine some people say they are not the same because some doctors here on YT says use B1, then they come back and say benfortiamine or Thaimine or Nutritional Yeast! I think they should just tell you a brand and dosage that you can use
@@NansGlobalKitchenthere is no exact dose for everyone so that's for you to figure out or see a your doctor
Thank you Dr Bulsiewics for your clear well spoken issues and suggestions on constipation!
Great guest. Thank you @ThomasDeLauer
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.
Fantastic information -please provide more tips to help us heal ourselves -we need more doctors like Dr. Gut Health !
Stay away from Metamucil . It’s self -sabotaging garbage ingredients
I love Thrive Market, but I switched to Vitacost because there is no membership fee, but still great prices.
Dude needs to be educating all the clueless Gastroenterologists out there who look at constipation as normal
So many MDs consider being on 3, 4 or more prescription drugs as normal. 💊🙀💊
They usually blame it on the diet wothout even attemting to investigate.... Now i have a hernia with bad symptoms
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. ❤
Were you able to reintroduce the foods? Or did you just cut them out and never introduce them back?
@@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?
I missed the tablespoons part that fixes bloating as on the description. What is the title referring to ? Great interview.
1-2 tbsp of what fixes bloating? (it was in the video thumbnail) Thanks for sharing.
Stop dairy????????????? WHAT ABOUT YOGURT
@@patriciaissa7935yogurt is high histamine - fermented food.
Magnesium and soluble fiber.
What about kefir?
Apple cider vinegar
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.
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.
Bulsiewic? Is it accurate name, I hope people are noticing.
Well done!! This segment was very helpful. Intelligent, meaningful and practical discussion!!
I tried to get my gastroenterologist wouldn't even consider SIBO, she insisted it was Opioid induced constipation. Colonoscopy biopsy indicated Microscopic Colitis. Nothing is helping. Going into year 4. This MC has ending any kind of "good life" I'm looking for a new gastroenterologist. WOW. You're the first Doc that I've heard mention Histamine leaking into the system. I've never had allergies, nor rashes, nor headaches with massive fatigue until the last several months. My skin is horrible, my hair is thinning, I had to have open heart surgery, which was supposed to fix the fatigue, I have massive gas. By the way I was on Keto when this started & weighed 135 now in year 4, 183lbs. I don't eat much. My DIL, a Nurse practitioner & is so surprised I'm gaining weight, however I was on budesonide for a year.
We need a whole video done on the woman's cycle and the histamine effect he very briefly mentioned at the end! Please!!
So what is the 1 - 2 tablespoons that we can take to help bloating???
My guess before watching it all...
ACV? (Based on research from multiple sources)
You mean they don’t tell you??? 🙄 thanks for saving me the time!
@@littlevoice_11CV won't fix it (not in my case). I've taken acv for over a decade, only this very week I've struggled massively with bloating (caused likely by strawberries - of all things).
@MrGB1999 it depends in the cause too. ACV is great for stomach acide regulation. But if the issue is lack of digestive enzymes, issues with gastric emptying, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, gut inflammation, IBS, microbiome imbalance, stress, poor nutrition quality, over or under hydration, timing of food etc.
Magnesium sulfate or Magnesium citrate: 500mg up to 1000mg in the evenings. Fiber. Fodmap. But ask your doctor first
Psyllium Husk is an awesome way to feed the micro biome with the type of fibre it needs to thrive. Also it REALLY helps forms good mass and clean finish. Many other benefits too!
I agree, it's fantastic. Coriander leaves also help with gas and bloating.
It just gives me more gas, but I do use it some times.
I used to turn red after I ate and sometimes got welts, etc., not to mention other systemic issues (histamine and leaky gut). I quit drinking high fructose corn syrup (Gatorade, etc.).took a probiotic, and cleaned up my diet a bit and ten years of bad symptoms were gone in thirty days. It's been fine ever since and that was 13 years ago. I was clueless and suffered for all that time for no reason. This video is going to end up helping someone who doesn't otherwise know how to fix their issues and will save them lots of issues. Good work, Thomas!
@@RA82828 How can you make it taste better and get past the smell? My husband loves it, I almost gag when I smell it. And if it tastes as bad it smells, I can't imagine. I love regular yogurt with fruit though and sometimes put granola on it. Yum.
@@clarebaxter777l've never heard anyone say that Greek yogurt smells!!! Are you sure it's Greek yogurt?
I have those systemic issues too after eating I’m sure it’s histamine can you tell me which probiotic you took. They don’t all look the same that’s for sure thanks so much
For the milk intolerant after 20 years of scouring through every little piece of information I could find often reading 100 pages of repetitive information I already knew, there in one new paragraph God would give me a new life, with new chance of healthy last one macaroni and some fruit juices have a milk based preservative ❤
@annalouux8553 yes smells like vomit to me and tastes like the smell
The straw conversation BLEW my mind! I have horrible gas (that lead me to this video) in addition to slow motility and constipation. I am an avid straw user all day long. I have no idea if changing this single habit would change all my issues, but I am going to 100% try it to see if affects my horrible gas.
omg, you are the first doctor who actually explained the true connection between histamine and damaged gut, because I m having gas, frequent farting, and sinusitis.
A gynecologist explained to me that in women, IBS can be "constipation diarrhea". They develop poor ligamental support in the pelvic floor due to stressors like childbirth, heavy lifting or exercise. This allows "kinking" in the gut. This causes partial blockages. Then only liquid stool can pass it after building up pressure to push past the blockage.
Thank you that makes sense, I know my pelvis floor is weak,I've been working on that
Omg now I’m thinking
A Vegan diet for over 12 years actually created IBS and a leaky gut for me! I was eating tons of fiber, and getting more constipated, bloated and sick by the year. When I finally woke up and stopped the Vegan plant based nonsense, ALL MY BLOATING and IBS WENT AWAY! In the first 3 days! Now I'm on a ketovore type of diet and feeling amazing! Eating plant based isn't, at least for me the healthier way to go. It can actually create serious illness. Thank you for an informative discussion!
It could have been the hybridization of the wheat. You might have had an allergic reaction.
Me also. Very long story short, took 6 months of carnivore for my gut to calm down. Most of my autoimmune symptoms are gone. I was diagnosed with SIFO from aspergillus a few years ago. I was a mess.
Glad to hear you finally understand we are not vegan specific. I wish I could get this through to my daughter who is vegan, eats too much fermented soy/tofu crap. I wonder how we survived European winter and North American winter with just a vegan plant based diet? Rhetorical.
Wow! 😬
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.
I agree.
What app do you use?
Man, this DR is amazing! We need more Drs like this!
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.
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
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.
Good luck
Could also be Sibo. I’m currently treating mine and I’ll feel so much better but sugar or anything the body turns into sugar, sets it off more than anything
Lol got a friend out of bed once at 3 am. Was very pregnant and in ultra pain. Was goddam wind...
@@invisibelle7590 yeah I thought my appendix was about to burst or something and that’s what mine ended up being too 🤣
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
What kind of IF that you do every day?
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☺️☺️
Thank you.
You want to say : eating low FODMAP foods.
How do you make bone marrow broth?
This is great information. What he says is absolutely spot on. It took me decades to realize I was constipated b/c I had a daily bowel movement so how could I be constipated, right?. In my 30's my stool became pencil thin. Colon cancer etc was ruled out and I was diagnosed with IBS..mine was constipation dominant...I used laxatives often. I then added magnesium citrate daily and it helped a lot... decades later I found out I had abdominal migraine which absolutely does affect motility. Ajovy, which is a monoclonal antibody developed for migraine, and for which I was prescribed for my vestibular migraine was a game changer for me. For the first time in 40 years I had normal bowel movements with no straining..I was able to change/improve my gut microbiome b/c I was able to change my diet and eat high fiber foods without gas, bloating or pain. Life is so much better now and I feel better in my 70's than I did in my 30's.
dinahsoar6982
Could I ask what kind of high fiber foods??
@@ireneturner2944 I eat both soluble and insoluble fiber from real food, not fiber supplements, and plenty of it daily, and spread it out so I have some at every meal.....when it comes to bread, I limit white bread, whole wheat bread, etc...these are made from flour..you want a true whole grain bread, like Ezekial bread. I eat Simply Nature sprouted 7 grain bread made from whole wheat berries. and other whole grains..you can see the smashed fiber in these breads....at first they didn't taste as good to me, but it didn't take long for me to prefer them...I will eat white bread occasionally but not routinely...The bulk of my daily diet is real food that has minimal processing .. ..fruit like apples,berries,watermelon, pears, canteloupe etc and veggies like potatoes,carrots, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, broccoli, brussle sprouts, etc...nuts, seeds...when you eat high fiber foods it's important to drink plenty of liquids/water, skip the comercial fruit juices, you can use them to flavor your water...eat an orange instead of drinking orange juice...The main thing is you want both kinds of fiber and plenty of it...this is an example of what I eat in a day: breakfast for me is often sprouted grain bread toasted, spread with sun butter, sprinkled with sunflower kernels and and fresh apple slices......lunch is a sandwich made with 7 grain bread, protein, tomatoes, cucumber slices, mayo and on the side some raw carrots...and a few potato chips ...yes, they are crap carbs too, but it's not about being 'good' or perfect, it's about eating foods you enjoy that are mostly good for you.....supper is protein, fat and carbs from veggies vs pasta etc..pasta isn't the main thing in a meal for me...I'll eat spaghetti, heavy on the meat/protein, sauce and light on the pasta, with a nice green salad loaded with real veggies and dressed with a salad dressing that I enjoy/like......I limit what I call crap carbs...cookies, cake, ice cream, chocolate although I do eat them once a day but if I want something else sweet that day, I eat a fruit based sweet like sliced fresh strawberries, with pecans, sour cream tossed in whipped topping and a sprinkle of mini semi sweet chocolate chips(heavy on the berries)..There's a book titled Metabolical written by a pediatric endocrinologist--his name escapes me at the moment...the take-away from his book is to 'protect the liver, feed the gut" ...you do that by eating real food that is high in both kinds of fiber..it doesn't mean you never eat other things you love..like ice cream...I love it..but I limit it and when I do eat it I add nuts to it ... and I eat real ice cream b/c fat slows down digestion and has a positive effect on blood sugar and insulin. If you eat plenty of both kinds of fiber you will find it is filling and it will fix your gut..most of us have too many of the bad bacteria in our gut..eat the good 'guys' and they will take care of the bad guys and you will find it makes a huge difference in your gut health...the gut microbiome is, I believe as do many others, the key to good health along with a healthy liver..
What is abdominal migraine?
@@noonecares3821 It's pain in the abdomen caused by the same action that causes migraine, ..it is more common in children, but adults have it too..often it is diagnosed as IBS and it can be misdiagnosed as diverticulosis b/c docs look for the cause of the pain and on testing discover their patient has diverticula,which are pockets in the colon, and they conclude that is the cause of the pain...but that diagnosis is based on assumption...it's diagnosis by elimation. They rarely if ever consider abdominal migraine and they conclude it is rare in adults..I had migraine for 9 years in my thirties...it went away...but it didn't go away...my symptoms changed...and 4 decades later the progression of my vestibular migraine became apparent..it started in childhood with abdominal pain which was diagnosed as constipation...I was given a lot of Ex-lax as a kid. It usually takes decades for the dots to be connected...Dr. Teixido on youtube is a neruo-otologist who specializes in migraine and is an expert in vestibular migraine..there are many kinds of migraine, and they share similar symptoms but each kind of migraine has a signifying symptom that points to the particular kind of migraine a person has. Of note, Menieres, Mal DeDebarqment and Verstibular migraine share many of the same symptoms and it can be difficult getting the right diagnosis b/c there are no definitive tests for any of them.
I used to have an F grade gut biome in Highschool with occasional ulcers and constant indigestion even though I ate clean. Fast forward 20 years later and I have what I call a Superman stomach!!! I've been keto and regular fasting for 5 years now and while I often attribute my strength, flexibility, physic, low body fat, etc on my diet and exercise i believe a lot of it is due to me fixing my gut. I can do spicy foods and abuse myself with too much coffee etc and have a great immune system etc. a few big tricks that helped me ...I break my fast with bone broth and collagen daily and do kefir and small amounts of fruit daily. Every day I do this and eat minimal to no carbs daily. Feed the good bacteria and starve the bad. It really is that simple. Thomas Delauer has been an invaluable resource along the way so thank Big T!
How to feed the good bacteria
May I ask, what are your fasting hours?
@@candybeckingham yeah no problem....I often stop eating between 6pm-8pm and fast until between noon or as late as 3 or even 4pm. Give or take a couple hours. 16/17 hours is the common regular daily routine and often once or twice a week I do 18-22 hrs. I often only eat 2 massive meals a day and avoid snacking like the plague as it's bad for all sorts of systems but that's a whole other conversation. Eat like a king anytime you put a single calorie in your body for optimal health. Big tip I learned later on is ***After doing daily fasting for several months you'll want to switch to alternate day fasting to keep your metabolism at the same pace so natural homeostasis doesn't kick in and down regulate your metabolism. ETRF is another good fasting method that might be even better and I do on some of the days I am more active early on. That is early time restricted feeding where you break your fast early on in the morning and you just quit eating much earlier like say you break your fast at seven or 8 AM but then you're gonna wanna be done eating your last meal by 4pm. ETRF has added benefits of the body's natural rhythms but is tough for me most days because I like to eat dinner with my wife and she isn't off work until 5pm. Fasting and keto has fixed my severe hypoglycemia which is another thing Doctors say is absolutely incurable! I can get through serious workouts deep into a fasted state like up to 22 hours which has added HGH and testosterone boosting properties and helps you directly tap into fat supplies for super efficient weight loss. Good luck!
Absolutely fantastic....
I can relate to many of the issues he is talking about.
I am finally noticing issues I have had insomnia, food sensitivity, histamine, insulin resistance are all linked to my broken gut 🙆♀️
I am currently being treated for sibo, candida and leaky gut 🤦♀️
Thank you. Just to add my problem that no-one mentions, I swallow air when drinking hot tea/coffee. Each sip is combined with a mouthful of cooling air then swallowed. I find that breathing out before swallowing makes a huge difference.
Great discussion - there goes 70% of my diet
Thomas thank you so much for mentioning your histamine issues. I stopped on this video randomly for something to watch while on the elliptical. I had no idea I’d stumble into my main issue of histamine intolerance. I was happy to learn of how the supplement you mentioned might help me as well. I hope to hear more on your channel about histamine issues!
What supplement?
@@alicequayle4625 I believe Quercetin was mentioned
Women who have taken blended hormone replacement therapy containing premarin (progesterone) may have gas & bloating from ovarian carcinomas. I lost a dear friend to OC who had been told my multiple doctors that she had IBS. She had no idea that bloating can be a symptom of ovarian cancer. One more needless death of a beautiful soul from our realm.
I'm very sorry.
I lost a friend to OC from taking Premarin also. So sad her Dr never mentioned it. I had left nursing & when we had lunch one day & she told me she bloated each time she ate I urged her to see a GYN. She was already Stage4 & passed away just 2 years later.
Loved this interview. I've subscribed to his and your channel. I've had digestive issues for years due to past surgeries & radiation & am now developing sensitivities to many foods & drinks. Trying different diets( no gluten, fats, sugars, processed carbs, alcohol, caffeine ). Will investigate quercetin. Thank you much & many blessings to you.
Please don’t eliminate Fats, our Brains need all the good fat, stay away from seed oils, no fake sugar
Oh, I found my doctor. May I tell my story? I'm now 76 yrs old, and almost 5' in height. Before I went on low carb early January of last year, I had been suffering from IBS for over 30 years. No doctor ever gave a name for my leaky gut, but I labelled it as IBS since my experience fits the description given by others on you tube.
The episode I usually go through when IBS strikes is like this: you start feeling some pain below the abdomen, and so you go to the toilet. It will take some time before the first poop comes out. While waiting, the pain starts to build up, your stomach is bloated, you might vomit (which can be very relieving), and then you might have to change clothes because they are drenched with sweat. It might take several hours before hard poops are fully evacuated. And then the time you start feeling real relief is when the soft waste come out and then followed by a series of ejections of watery waste. In the early years, this episode would last probably 3-5 hours. It increased over the years to about 7 hours or more. The last time (March 2021), it lasted for almost 12 hrs. I passed out once because of this (1997), went to hospital on 3 different occasions; the first two were triggered by orange and pineapple, and the last one ( 2021) was due to a milk formulated for seniors, which I bought simply to please a promoter. I underwent a colonoscopy, but it was unsuccessful bcoz the device couldn't go through (but I still paid the entire amount for this). I felt so frustrated, so I tried to find out what can be done without doctor's help.
Fast forward, I went on low carb in 2022, followed strictly the diet, and after 2 weeks, l experienced peace in my gut During the entire year, I didn't have any IBS episode. I was elated. Of course, I became very thin (frm 54 kgs - 39kgs). I didn't mind, so long as I had peace in my gut.
After over a year, I thought I could introduce some change so I could gain some weight. Starting March of this year, started taking in a little more carbs: 3 slices of sweet potatoes or half cup of rolled oats. Very occasionally, when relatives visit, I would have rice or even a small pc of cake.
The problem is that I have been experiencing some discomfort - bloating, gas and some pain - everytime my abdomen wants to be evacuated. This has been going on for about 3 weeks now. My question - could this be because of the carbs I reintroduced into my diet? Today, I took my first meal without the extra carbs, and plan to do the same in the weeks to come. If I improve, then I will have to do strict low carb (at least most of the time) the rest of my life - if that's how I will have to continue having peace in my gut.
I shall share the result later. Hopefully, this can add, albeit in a very small way, to the documentation on low carb lifestyle. Thanks for reading.
Introduce nuts to your diet. Mix all nuts and eat a large bowl everyday. Will help you gain weight.
After 20 plus years talking to so many GI doctors or general practitioners I only feel at peace in my gut on Keto. They gave me the whole FODMAPS BS and it never worked. The only problem is my own laziness and I love to eat carbs!! When I was on Keto I could eat any cruciferous vegetables!! Zero gas. Once I start eating an everyday American diet I bloat and IBS full swing. I wish I could just eat what I want. 😢 I am going back to Keto and working on my cooking skills and variety. I hope you find your way too.
thank you for sharing the details of your struggle
I am very interested in the future attempts which you make which hopefully settle your issues
please let me know
thank you very much
Your pain and the time it took you to relieve yourself sounds just awful! I feel so sorry for your troubles and hope returning to low carb has again been your answer.
Oh trust me , I sympathize with you! I’ve had IBS for 35+ years too… but now I’ve learned to control it with what not to eat… yes! It’s trial & error, ok.. also check into your Thiamine level, this directly affects the gut issues… Good Luck! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
As you said, there are many reasons for bloating! One reason that I recently learned about is Ovarian Cancer. My friend had no idea why she felt so bloated and she tried everything - doctors, a nutritionist, changed to an even healthier diet, exercised daily and taught Pilates etc. Two months later she found out too that she had stage 4 ovarian cancer.
Wow, that is so sad and terrifying!
I hope she will regain her health somehow. ❤️
@@pat4005 A bloated gut would feel different than Ovarian cancer in my not so humble opinion.
@@pat4005 Thank you but she lost the battle 6 months after diagnosis. I try to let as many people know about the signs of this awful 'silent killer' because it seems all of the women I know have no idea! Common symptoms: Unexplained fatigue, Unexplained weight gain or loss, Appetite loss, feeling full quickly or constant indigestion, Abdominal or pelvic pain, Persistent abdominal pain and bloating, Changes in bowel habits such as constipation, Urinaty changes such as frequency or urgency, Increased abdominal size or persistent abdominal bloating...etc Please look it up and pass it on. Thank you xxx
@@dividivi2369had those symptoms and had a pelvic ultrasound and my ovaries were fine but I had a tiny fibroid . I was tested for H Pylori and yes I had it . Hormonal imbalance during perimenopause changed my gut bacteria . I had really bad acid reflux and had an endoscopy. Everything was fine no cancer . I am a lot better now but still a bit lactose intolerance . If you have any symptoms of digestive problems, just ask the doctor to check for ovarian cancer and stomach cancer . When you visit a doctor they just put you on Nexium and in the long run you will end up with B12 deficiency and osteoporosis.
My aunt died from ovarian cancer. Tall, slender woman, but she neglected to check out the bloating, and it was too late.😢
What a great interview. So interesting. Especially the part about histamines. Thanks Thomas.
If you check magnesium from drawing blood, it may not be as accurate as a hair and tissue analysis. The bodies always pulling or pushing nutrients in and out of the blood as necessary so it may show the magnesium is fine when in fact, it’s been starved out of another part of the body to make the blood seem normal
I find it interesting that my grandmother who was a district nursing assistant back in the 1940 somethings, always said that what comes out of your body is a good indicator of what your health is like. What goes around comes around, simple observation is often the best detection method.
This is GREAT! I actually started exhaling before I drink to keep from swallowing air….Thanks for this interview..I feel like he’s speaking to me and my friends who struggle with these issues daily!
When I drank beer...I would put a hole in the top/side of the can n u wouldn't believe how different u felt after a few beer ....no bloat
you can also do some yoga. there are poses that specifically remove wind from the guts
I have the same issue, and worse. Have you gotten better? If so, how?
This is a great interview, it’s really helpful and informative. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful podcast !
This was hands-down, the best information on the Internet
Rebounding always helps my movement !
I was so impressed by the logic of this caring doctor that I found his book, “Fiber Fueled!” I’m excited to read more of how he thinks to help me!! Thank you for this wonderful interview!!
Thank you for having Dr Bulsiewicz on this information session. This was super informative and I learned a lot that I hadn’t heard elsewhere or from any other doc before. Big thanks again!
Love Dr. B. So glad you had him on. I went plant based a year and a half ago and ate way to much fiber at first. The great news is I started actually going to the bathroom everyday(when I ate meat I wouldn’t go for up to 6 days) but man the bloating and gas! Moderation
Do you have a digestive disease?
So what are you eating?
@@geanieltarin814Probably eats plants like humans evolved to do.
I found a research paper years ago that said blood types play a huge part . Blood type A have digestive challenges compared to O.
Type O should not be a vegetarian but meat eaters.
Blood type A should be a vegetarian.
@@andreathemisses1422 utter nonsense lol. Humans evolved to eat mostly fiber in the form of plants, blood type doesn't matter. My ex was type O and thrived on plants.
I used magnesium for a long time and it worked, but with me it caused a lot of gas and bloating. After about a year it quit working completely. That is the problem. Whenever I find something that works, it eventually stops working. I have tried using probiotics and they bloat me as well. I was finally put on Linzess and it worked really well until it didn't. I also suffer with prolapse issues and weakened pelvic muscles due to having 5 babies. I have had two separate surgeries for this and they eventually weakened and I am sure constipation had a lot to do with that. It is a daily struggle for me because I have more than one thing going on. I am now 64 and I have to wonder how bad this is going to be in 10 to 20 years from now.
Great interview! So much useful information. Most people are too embarrassed to talk about bowel movements and gut issues, but we’d probably resolve a lot of health issues if we improved our gut microbiome and had better bowel movements.

Thank you for stressing the importance of the holistic approach. I've had gut issues for over 30 years and was diagnosed with IBS ages ago. I have also struggled with many other issues and have dealt with so many specialists for each of them. I was led to believe by general practitioners that my gut problems were caused by the other problems (and stress), but now it makes so much more sense to recognize hat the unaddressed gut issues are probably causing the other problems.
I have been on pain meds for 17 years , lost my son and then from the stress I developed Diverticulitis and colitis.
I believe the meds caused it then the grief kicked it into gear.
Painful !
It helps when you have a competent doctor. The first gastroenterologist that I went to didn't know what Betaine HCL was. I was both disappointed and shocked and never went back to that doctor smh.
They only learn what they are told to learn. We all have this idea that doctors are always doing research, they aren't. If there is a change in treatment protocols their governing bodies will tell them.
This Dr is incredible! Day 4 of magnesium & metamucil & I woke up the past two mornings with a flat stomach for the first time in over 6 years. My Gi gave me miralax to try after an x-ray showed constipation even though I was having several BMs a day. It didn’t work well. This guy is on the money here, such valuable information! Thank you!
Hi sorry, what's metamucil? Also a lot of people have mentioned cutting out dairy has helped which I believe 100% would but how about gluten?
@@WhereTheWavesAt store BRANDS psyllium husk 😊
@@WhereTheWavesAtMetamucil is a brand name of flavoured Psyllium Husk you put in water to drink. You can buy PH much cheaper unflavoured
Miralax is poison. Poly ethylene glycol. PEG.
Which Mg?
Love Dr. B! Compassionate and brilliant!!
IF and Keto and eating less food with added salt - completely healed my damaged bloated gut after covid.
Wow wow woow Be blessed you all,I'm actually watching this with this problem of pain and bloating,gas,diarrhea all the symptoms
I have gluten intolerance and react to gluten free foods. I think you make tons of sense. I have no gallbladder
Me too
I’ve noticed cow based products bloat me so much these days, I didn’t eat much of them during my 100 pound weight loss journey
Mostly because they’re all adulterated with the pasteurization process. Try raw, big difference.
Lol "raw" is the difference? Does "raw" take out the lactose?
@@uog293 raw has the lactase enzyme to break down the lactose…. So
A2 milk has a different protein from older breeds of cows,NOT bred for high milk production, I dont want to give up milk as I am already a bad celiac and nightshade intolerant.However ready to try whatever.
This conversation is very enlightening, I definitely will follow his advice. Thank you so much!
I've been with GI issues ever since I can remember. Then in 2022 I had a bout of gallbladder stones and bile duct stones, not knowing what I was getting myself into my doctor convinced me to remove my gallbladder now, before a future emergency could happen. Ever since removal of my gallbladder, my life has not been the same, and not in a good way. I have major gut issues now, even worse than before when I had my gallbladder. Could you share some video regarding post-cholecystectomy syndrome, and any advice you could share with me, please? Now, I have IBS and this awful PC-syndrome, very hard to live a normal life at this point. Doctors want to give me medications, like anti-cholinergic or Creon but my system is so sensitive right now, anything I put in my body doesn't really help, not even digestive enzymes. Thank you.
