Your information is consistently the best in the field Dr Ruscio.. Thank you for your efforts, you’ve given me so much insight into dealing with my gut issues when previously I thought I had tried everything albeit not properly or consistently enough. Sending the stool test to two different labs is a great way of showing how inconclusive they can be.
I've been doing the carnivore diet for the last eight months. I had horrible constipation and everyone kept saying increase your fat. I was drowning in fat and nothing was happening. I watched Andrew Saul video on high dose vitamin C and like magic things are moving great. I'm taking magnesium, probiotics and hcL, fiber but vitamin C seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle for me . Btw very glad I found your channel.
@jan_po I started carnivore because around March 2023 I had a very severe case of covid and the only thing my body wanted was meat. All the health vegetables I used to eat made me sick and I couldn't eat them. I was curious why when I was deathly ill my body only wanted meat so I decided to give carnivore a try.
Hello,respected sir very nice suggestions, humble request to share some more raw Fruits for better Gut health issues with Liver health issues with, SIBO issues with huge under weight issues and heavy bloating issues
What helped me with constipation was a digestive enzymes blend and gut acid promoting products such as apple cider vinegar, vitamin C and betaine HCL. The stomach needs to be acidic enough to digest food properly and many digestive problems like acid reflux and sibo are often caused by low stomach acid. So all these alkalising medications can make your digestion much worse in the long term.
@@alessshorts I would argue in the short term no but in the long term yes but everyone is different. If you have gut problems adding probiotics to your diet just increases the amount of bacteria in parts of your gut that already have too much. The first thing to do is to reduce it by making sure your stomach acid is high enough to digest the food you eat properly.
@@dennisward43 yeah I want to try taking HCL, but there is always things added to it and I have sensitivities and allergies. The thing with ACV is it is fermented so it might not be good for me.
Thanks for your book and all of your videos. They have been a game changer for me. Can you go into more detail about digestive enzymes vs HCL supplements and more specifics into signs/symptoms that you need more/less or shouldn't be taking them, etc. Appreciate you doc!
Dr Ruscio can you please elaborate about what could be the issue here many times if I have to go out of the house I have to go the loo and check if I have to have a bowel movement. Whenever I'm outside it is in back of my mind that I need to know where a clean washroom around will be here. What can I do for this issue? What is it called? Most say it is IBS
Hard to say but sounds like a combination of intestinal health impairment and a degree of brain-gut involvement. Feel free to reach out to our office "Work with Us' page of website if you need help :)
Thank you! I have ordered your probiotics through a friend for my gut issues, awaiting the package. I'm from India and based on your videos have been daily consuming S Boulardii for 40+ days and see a great improvement in my bowel movements
I absolutely hate the philosophy "test, don't guess." To me this is just marketing from the poor education these testing companies are giving doctors to make up for their lack of experience.
Hello Doctor Ruscio, thank you for your teaching. I wish I have watched your video years ago. I just found out l have SIBO in 3 months ago. I also have pelvic floor issues. I had antibiotics for 3 weeks but no improvement yet. Please, any advice for me because I am always in pain because of constipation.

What cured my constipation is keto/carnivore and getting rid of inflammatory carbohydrates There is research suggesting low fiber diet will reduce constipation
Hi Doc. Have you encountered significant weight loss accompanying IBS? All tests for sinister things have been negative but I continue to struggle with weight loss even on weeks when I eat well? It seems clear that something is impeding my ability to gain nutrients from my food, which surely points to a problem in my small intestines???
If it is a problem with your small intestine, then it points to something like villous atrophy, a feature of coeliac disease (which I have). On the other hand maybe it is some enzymatic issue, in which you are unable to break down your food. In either case this will pass more nutrients to the bacteria in the colon to break down. This will increase colonic bloating.
Would HCL also help if the symptom is mainly bloating? It's my last lingering symptom.🤔 And can you tell if the cause of the bloating is gut related or hormone related? Thank you.
I have been battling constipation for years. It seems that s. boulardi has been helping. However, I occasionally drink Kava. I noticed that when constipated, the Kava helps me have a BM. I suspect it's the muscle relaxation effects of Kava, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts?
Can you take anti-microbials and probiotics at the same time, or maybe alternate them like weekly? It seems to me that the anti-microbials would kill off the probiotics.
Hypothetically and in general, there's very clear evidence that antibiotics or antimicrobials, agents that kill things, work better and have less side effects when co-administered with probiotics at the same time. So ideally taken together, but you know again, there's some flexibility.
I will let Dr. Ruscio give you the final answer on this, but it is my understanding that it does provide benefit - more so than capsules. The one thing you must be aware of is that much of fermented food sold in groceries is pasteurized thus contain no live bacteria. If the product is not refrigerated for sale it is likely pasteurized. Making kimchi at home is more involved than many would like to do but many home made fermented food is about as easy as it gets, not to mention very cheap - and delicious. The classic food, of course, is sauerkraut but there are tons of simple recipes on line for the food of your preference.
@@brennan353 I buy my Kimchi from an asian store, it's refrigerated and in a plastic container, nothing mentionned about being pasteurized or not though.
@@Madevilz Looks like you've got the real deal 🙂 BTW after I replied, I saw other videos by Dr Ruscio which confirmed what I had read before, i.e. it is a good source. I am no expert but I think this would only give lactobacillus - which could be enough.

@jan_poso are you still on fiber???
Why do probiotics if you have sibo, doesn’t that that make you bloated?
Magnesium citrate and vitamin C are what I do as well.

@@JadenJackson-x1c I don't really take the fiber because it sometimes makes me more constipated.
I have found so many helpful tips from listening to your videos. Thank you for all of your hours of research and bringing us the correct info!
Great info about diagnosis and dosage for HCL. makes sense. Thank you.
I don't see any coverage of gastroparesis in your posts. Could you talk about the treatment of this disease please ? 😊

Hey Doc, does heating up fermented food like kimchi still provide benefits if the bacterias are killed off?
