I love how you always say, "you are in charge of your own health ". My dad graduated medical school in 1953 and finished his specialty (radiology) in 1964. He use to say that. I don't remember ever having even asprin in the house. His advice, walk at least 20 minutes a day, eat lots of fruits and vegetables and take good care of your teeth. My opthomologist asked me why I was so healthy, so i gave him my dad's advice. I am not medically trained. Lol.
Great advice!
Absolutely look after your teeth. It’s linked to your brain and your heart health. The teeth that is
Align Probiotics changed my life!!! After 40+ years of bronchitis and six weeks of coughing every time, a retired Chemical Engineer told me Align probiotics changed his lifelong similat bronchitis issues. I started 10 years ago and it's been miraculous for me!! Not a single episode of bronchitis in 10+ years. Never got Covid, either!!! I believe in Align!
Former soil/pollutant degradation microbiologist with IBS here…
1) I’d like to understand more about the bacterial/yeast balance in the gut. Everyone seems to forget about yeasts. Maybe that’s why kombucha is popular - a very mixed culture, not just lactobacillus.
2) I used to take a probiotic lactobacillus blend every day, and I think it messed up my Ca++ balance - I got calcium oxalate kidney stones which resolved after quitting the probiotic. No proof, maybe just coincidental timing, but daily probiotic was probably too much.
3) When recovering from an IBS flare-up, limiting processes starches and sugars, adding prebiotics like oatmeal, lentils, and beans, and taking a mixed probiotic blend capsule speeds up my recovery. I’ve also begun adding a little fermented red cabbage in beet juice to savory foods, and I think that is helping. Finding lactose-free kefir is rare but good when you can get it. There are a bunch of different kimchees - cabbage, daikon, cucumber, and combos thereof. Different levels of spice and different seasonal batches mean you can find something you like.
Thanks for the good video. Now let’s all say a little prayer for the C. diff patients - yikes.
A probiotic supplement changed my life! No more bacterial vaginosis, anxiety gone and skin issues all cleared up. My gut was destroyed before probiotics.
Edit: The probiotic is FlowFlora 40-Billion CFU
what is the supplement you used?
The one from Alicia's Naturals@@moongirl3232
Alicia's Naturals 40 Billion@@moongirl3232
I don’t take supplements, but I do eat plain full fat yogurt, kimchi, and sauerkraut, and occasionally drink kefir.
which probiotic?
After recovering from surgery and all the antibiotics I took because of that, they gave me probotics capsules to take for a week to help my gut.
I love those two doctors! They are fun and smart and I always learn something new.Thanks.
After amoxicillin destroyed my gut, taking a probiotic has totally made me feel like a new person! Digestive issues I was suffering from before are gone! Sense of wellness increased and lower anxiety.
The same happened to me. After taking amoxicillin I had problems with my gut and urinary microflora. Now I am taking FemProbiotics and I have no more candida :)
As someone who suffered from c.diff. last year (caused by an antibiotic), I started taking probiotics after tamping down the c.diff. bacteria. Took a couple of months of rebuilding my gut biome with healthy, appropriate foods, the addition of probiotics were/are a game changer for sure. I’m better physically and mentally. 🙌🏼
Which probiotics did you take?
@@daffin5272 Towards the end of the second round of another antibiotic (metronidazole) to kill off the rampant c.diff., I could take Align. Then I found a better one (for me): Trunature Wonen’s Daily Probiotic. I take it first thing in the morning when my stomach is at its emptiest so the good bacteria have an opportunity to thrive without interruption from food. Then I can eat about an hour later. Hope this helps!
I had a very similar experience but for H Pylori. Antibiotics made my life hell even though it got rid of H Pylori. I tried several probiotics and most of them made me worse OR did nothing except the one that has Saccharomyces Boulardii I-745(Florastor). It was a GAME CHANGER! Look it up on here and trust me it will help@daffin5272
I eat sauerkraut every morning, usually with a fried egg. I don't cook the sauerkraut, that would kill the bacteria. Also the sauerkraut needs to be the raw, unpasteurized type, not canned. You find it in the refrigerated area.
Nice work
Great job. 50 years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn's. Not many pharmaceuticals back then. Prednisone for me for several years. My doc (Norman Marcon) didn't follow the book and tried me on eating wheat bran as a supplement. That was unconventional but HUGE for me. Little was understood back then about the biome. 30 years later I had only scar tissue and 40 years later I had no signs of crohn's. 50 years later, still great. Probiotics have been shown to be less useful after antibiotics as compared with a huge variety of plant foods with daily ingestion of fermented foods for a couple of weeks. Fermented foods have been huge for me. One correction about sauerkraut and fermented pickles. They must be home made OR purchased from the refrigerator section of the store. Shelf stable jars are pasteurized and are tasty but not containing any bacteria. Buying fermented foods must be from the fridge and try to just warm them rather than kill them with heat. Great discussion guys. This particular one covered every base that it should have.
I had ulcerative colitis, with surgery about 30 years ago. When I discovered vsl, now visbiome, a few years it was life changing.
What is flow flora
I went to the health food store the other day and I was inundated with the amount of probiotics on the shelves. A whole aisle was designated just to them, the prices were by no means cheap. thank you for confirming that they are not regulated and just few choice foods will do the trick.
Very welcome Paul.
You were speaking about the correlation between the brain and the gut. When our son is going to have a seizure he often has a sore tummy. He has collapsed on the toilet a few times when having a seizure. He also vomits after a seizure. We have long thought there was some sort of connection from his brain to his stomach. Great video
Same with a lot of migraine sufferers.
I enjoy your videos and I absolutely like the humor y'all add...we all need humor in our lives!!! Keep the videos coming...I look forward to them
Thank you for the information and I agree everyone is different. I’ve been taking Align for the last four weeks and I have never felt better in my life. The bloating the acid reflex symptoms have completely been removed.
As someone who suffered from chronic constipation that seemed IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of, despite trying hundreds of things, I was thrilled to find that my digestive system became 100% predictable and regular just from taking probiotics, so for ME, I take that as an assumption that it DOES work and IS working. I find it to be a virtual miracle.
So probiotic’s solved your chronic constipation?
Which brand do you take?
I suffer from constipation. So what kind of probiotic foods helped you get rid of constipation? Thanks
Which one do you use?
@pinkrose4824
I have found that I get excellent bowel movements from resistant starch. Supposedly hunter gatherers had a lot more of it in their diet than we modern people, which indicates to me that our digestive tract evolved in the presence of it. Many wild tubers are not that easy to digest, and those guys didn’t have the greatest cooking facilities at all times.
There are many articles on the web about it. I use a mix of unmodified potato starch, plantain or green banana flour, psyllium husk, with smaller amounts of turmeric and cinnamon. The latter supposedly has benefits. Scuttlebutt is that black pepper improves metabolism of turmeric. Who knows. I do about two or 3 tablespoons of that shaken with water in a jar, and add some liquid electrolytes. doesn’t taste great, but it’s not nearly as bad as wheat grass juice, for example. I do it before bedtime, it supposedly gives you good dreams.
I truly enjoyed your video dear Docs. When I actually had a GP, he told me that for most people, supplements are simply a money burner. I have taken probiotics after an antibiotic treatment.
Hi I’m a devoted fan of your content, I enjoy your no nonsense approach and humour.Personally I didnt buy into the whole probiotic thing. I did however start using them daily when vacationing in Mexico . I was falling ill with every visit starting about ten years ago. Taking these Canadian made probiotics without fail has eliminated the gastrointestinal nightmare completely for about 5 years now.I’m 65 and I know not to over consume both food and alcohol . Overall I feel getting older has contributed to the tendency to become unwell when leaving our cocoon of First world food safety . This will be our 30 th winter in Mexico. I don’t know why they the probiotics work and don’t care , they just work.
Love the Dad jokes! Keep them coming. Interesting video. I took a medical/science-based CEU course before Covid and I remember the instructor telling us taking probiotics over the counter was like adding a drop of water to a large water reserve holding tank. She told us to not waste our money with over the counter and to focus on quality food. I was lucky to be born into a family that knew the importance of quality food and that has served me well into adulthood. Food is medicine for general health.
I love the humor in your videos. You make learning about medical issues fun!
Doing our best denise
Same, I agree. You guys are hilarious!@@TalkingWithDocs
It's called Edutainment...lol😂
Thank you both. Refreshing as you teach. Your presentation makes info easy to remember.
I learn so much here! Great information!
I’m not a probiotic user intentionally, although (unlike Doc Paul), I do like yogurt and eat it occasionally. But I’ve learned the value of probiotics for my dog! The poor little guy started having frequent diarrhea within a couple of months after I got him-seriously enough that I took him to the veterinary clinic on a near-emergency basis, where they not only prescribed a probiotic but also a special food for awhile. After that, though, he would still have periodic bouts of diarrhea, every few days, often associated with going camping or traveling, but sometimes without any specific event that I could associate with it. For quite awhile, I thought it might be a dairy issue, because he likes ice cream and I learned that often dogs are lactose intolerant.
Then I read an Internet article that suggested that dogs whose guts respond poorly to stress might benefit from probiotics. The article described all sorts of potential stress inducers, from traveling, to changes in life style, to being left alone, to guests in the home-even when the dog seems to be enjoying the event. My little guy seems to love going for rides and going camping, and he seems to have no issues with being left alone, but way too often, he’d get sick, typically with diarrhea and sometimes vomiting.
So at his next visit to the veterinary clinic, I asked about trying a regular supplement of probiotics. The staff veterinarian suggested trying it for a month, and go from there. That was 1 1/2 years ago, and he’s had only one brief episode of diarrhea in all that time. So at least for him, the prescribed probiotic supplement, which he gets with his evening meal every evening, has been a real God-send. He’s been much healthier all around, and obviously he’s much happier, not having frequent tummy problems. I’m happier, too, because I haven’t had to clean up after him in all that time!
I was just prescribed probiotics for the reason you just mentioned. After finishing a routine course of antibiotics I took for a balloon sinoplasty, my gastroenterologist recommended a probiotic. (I have Bile Acid Malabsorption, and an Interstim pacemaker for fecal urgency) He said most off the shelf probiotics are already half-dead, so he said I could get high quality live probiotics WITHOUT a prescription from behind the counter from a pharmacist. It is kept “in the back” for the purpose of keeping it refrigerated. I got mine at Walgreens (Fort Worth) and he said Costco also sells it. Two other pharmacies sell it, but I cannot remember their names. Mine is called VSL#3 Medical Food Probiotic distributed by Actial Nutrition Inc in Layfayette, Colorado
How costly is it? Is it considered “over the counter” so no Rx required? TIA
Please reply to the cost of these Probiotics.
Your humour is sweet. Keep it up. As a RN, I appreciate the education on all these topics. My husband used Pre and Pro biopics everyday for 6 months, and it did help his stomach ( a bit) after Vancomycin (antibiotic). I tried it along with him, and had no change , or noted benefit, nor bad side effect. Pre and or Pro biopics are ridiculously expensive, so I like your suggestion of foods to try. Great job, you two !
I get Culturelle Probiotics from Costco when they go on sale. That helps to save a little money. And, they go on sale about every 3 months ... so I buy them then.
Thank you for this video. I'm pleased you bought up the food. It strongly helps me as I suffer badly with my disabilities.
Prior to a dental implant, the doctor told me to start taking and continue taking probiotics due to the antibiotics given to prevent an infection related to the surgery causing damage to my gut bacteria. No problems occurred related to the surgery or my gut health.
My husband and I were advised by our two GPs to take probiotics; after some YEARS of this, we had to stop as they were doing more harm than good. Also, we have & ingest 8 of the foods that you list at the end of this video - thanks very much!
Excellent info as always. It's refreshing to get down to Earth info, thanks!!
Thank you doctors! Great to know! Jana - Texas
I really like your videos. Great throwing in a little humor to make one smile and laugh, along with important health issues. 😊😊
Thank you Docs,always helpful n funny. God bless.
I suffer from diverticulitis flare ups. I have taken Culturelle probiotics since 2013 by the advice of a doctor. In the last 2 years I have taken a probiotics and prebiotics pill twice a day - one pill in the morning and evening it has really helped my gut health and trips to the doctor.
Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing
Something to think about. I do take a probiotic.
The humor is great in your videos. I always learn something that’s healthful to. Thanks
Just love you two, so much information in so short of time!!! Thank you.
Our pleasure Billy!
I’m new to your channel and I’m enjoying it. I’m from Australia so our healthcare system is different to yours but I’m finding that this doesn’t matter with the advice and information you provide. I like the no bull approach you take. (I don’t even mind a good, bad dad joke.) Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Aus.
Thank you! Happy rest of your Sunday!
You too!
I ❤you both. Trying to Learn both medicine and English from you.
I have got MS & Neuropathy pain. God bless you. Sheida
I do take a probiotic daily but now I’m rethinking that. I also take regular vitamins, glucosamine and magnesium bysglinate. I have a really healthy diet, eat lots of vegetables too, and stay away from too many carbs, sugars and processed food. Thanks for all the information. Food for thought…I need to digest all this information 😅. Thanks for staying real docs!
The more crap you take the more big business likes you.
If you are chronically constipated, be very careful with the sauerkrout and other things fermented. Take it slow and work up. It did eventually help, but not if you overdo.
Thank you so much, I have been tossing around a lot of information on this very topic…great video.. cheers from The Maritimes
Thanks for a fun and informative video. I love the humor and interaction between you guys. Thanks!😊 I am on doxycycline 40 mg daily for my rosacea, what type of probiotic should I be taking.
Super informative/enjoyable presentation. I always learn something new watching your videos. Thank you great video
I take Align when taking antibiotics - or actually I take it at a different meal during the course plus a few days after. Was recommended by a very conservative and experienced GI who ordinarily didn't do much too new fangled! The doctor's brand preference was due to it being the only brand with the research behind it.
Love your channel. Keep the info and jokes coming.
I love Parmesan cheese. So happy to hear that it can help my gut bacteria. You docs are wonderful! Many thanks!
After having gallbladder surgery, 4 weeks later had problems with gas, also coffee bothered me (loose stool). I started 3 TBSP of greek yogurt (low sugar, low fat, live and active cultures) each morning before I eat or drink anything, by day 3 of doing this...the problems went away.😊
As for a guy (63) now with lifelong IBS and 4 stomach surgeries from Perotinitis, this video is super interesting. I have had hordes of antibiotics, and my PCP says take probiotics. Lactose intolerant too, so greek yogurt is best for me. Also have high BP, so miso is a no no. Other options in foods?
Very educational, and absolutely hilarious at the same time! I was learning and laughing at the same time. Thank you, Doctors for these great videos :)
Love your humor and it was an educational video. Great
Great video again Docs! You’re almost at 600K! I enjoy being your self proclaimed cheerleader! 📣
Thank you !! ❤❤❤
Welcome Kim!
@@TalkingWithDocshave a great night Sỉr 💪❤️
Awesome - good info as usual.👍🏻👏🏻
You guys are great, as usual…..thank you somuch
Our pleasure!
My gastro doctor suggested I take align. I have IBS and had a c-diff outbreak. I couldn't get a fecal transplant because of doctors offices being closed down for covid. The only time I take them now is if I'm prescribed antibiotics because I get c- diff symptoms after 2 days or when I'm fasting. It does help in these conditions.
I had chronic sinus and ear infections as a child and was on antibiotics constantly, often prescribed by my own father who was a dentist. I went through all kinds of health problems probably related to leaky gut type stuff. A decade ago I had a very bad sinus and ear thing that required sinus surgery and PE tubes in my ears. That year, before and after surgery, I took at least 7 courses of antibiotics including some of the scary ones - an allergist I saw literally flinched when I recounted all of the antibiotics I had taken that terrible year. But - I took one of the rather expensive probiotic supplement every day that year and never developed any GI or GYN issues, it was amazing,
Hello .Doctors .thank for the information .it helps alot to understand better
Love and enjoy you two awesome Drs. Smarts, knowledge, experience, humor, great information, interesting facts and so much more. Thank you for dispensing your time and intelligence. Keep us posted and in the know.
Doing our absolute best !
I’m lactose intolerant and can’t eat eggs either, so I take a probiotic twice a week and it seems to help my stomach feel better along with eating vegetables and drinking lots of water.
So glad to hear that “supplements” are unreliable. I’ve spent good money on some, a few times, but my budget really could not sustain purchasing them endlessly. Thanks so much for sharing this info! 🤸🏼 Also love laughing along with you Docs! 😁
So helpful, thanks.
Guys, do a talk on collagen. I've been taking collagen in powder form for years. What's your take on collagen supplements?
Easy, they'll tell you they don't work because they are not FDA approved. My take, do your own research, there's TONS of scientific papers out there with REAL scientific evidence.
Thank you for explaining this information
You two are a wonderful resource of knowledge as well as a fantastic comedy duo! Keep up the good work!
You two give out the best information
Even if I am not interested in what you two fun Doctors are talking about, I just have to watch because I love to laugh and to learn something new! Thanks!
Great information! Thank you!
The only time I took probiotics was to counteract C-diff. It was a prescription which was a really high dosage, and I ate yogurt in all kinds of ways. It still took over 18 months to get better. If none of this had worked, I certainly would have considered the transplant option. C-diff is misery!!
Another great info video. Thks
Keep up the humor, thanks.
Another excellent video topic.
When I contracted Bacterial Pneumonia the antibiotics removed my gut bacteria, so I was told to take OptiBac, it did make me feel better quick quickly.
Glad to hear that.
What probiotic can someone take for h pylori?
I had C Diff and finished my Vancomycin two days ago. I’m left with IBS and gastric distention. I never in my life had any gut issues before this diagnosis. Clindamycin antibiotic use for a dental procedure made me susceptible to C Diff. I was told to start probiotics, and I have. I am eating sauerkraut and yogurt. Just praying C Diff is actually gone, it’s terrifying! It is life threatening. Thankyou for this video doctors! I wish FMT was easier to attain before patients are deathly ill in the hospital.
Yes very scary. Best of luck
@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you 😊
Another brilliant and interesting video. I really enjoy natural yogurt, cottage cheese, sauerkraut, miso and parmigiana. After following you two fab, funny and informative doctors for some years I feel that you have a cookbook within waiting to be written! Many thanks
David you just may be onto something ... 😜
Miso paste and kimchi actually r doing nothing if after you cooked, the active probiotics died already. In addition, miso paste is extremely salty, only a tsp can be added into water to make a soup, so a tiny quantity for probiotic actives doesn't warrant its myth in addition of dead probiotics bodies in millions in lasting high temperature cooking. Besides, miso paste was learnt from the ancestor of China, kimchi was learned from its continent of China's Si-Chuang province as well. Let me tell you the truth: go to Chinese supermarkets locally, you will find far more than ever the probiotics products in foods who's the ancestor s of numerous eastern Asian's fermented things: fermented soybean paste or beans in variety of forms and types, and many many others. The so-called miso paste, kimchi, tempeh, natto etc. just a huge campaign of ads for "something" (the nationalism, or politics, or "the soul of capitalism" of, a huge money therefore has been earned universally in the endless space、、、) .🎉😢😅🤬🥳😁
Warned (please don't say I didn't warn you first😢): Korean kimchi has extremely high Nitrites especially in its peak period of the first 3 days, and lasts to the 6th till 20 days. After 20 days, you even can't eat the kimchi, which became a mushy one like rotten.
I battled extreme migraines for over 20 years and about 3 ish years ago I started taking a daily probiotic for some stomach issues and it took care of that, but after about a year I realized I hadn’t had any migraines. Now almost 3 years later (still taking the probiotic) I still haven’t had one, so just another example of the stomach biome and brain connection.
Align works better than others for me. I've tried them all.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos--- I've been watching for 2+ years. You address a variety of health and medical topics with an engaging mix of facts and humor. I think you help to "humanize" doctors, who many of us see as rather serious, stiff, and wordy people. Thanks! ;-)
Thanks so much Greg!
I mix take tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and put a 4th tsp of chia seeds and mix pomegranate juice together and drink it everyday, also a teaspoon of kimchee too! Sauerkraut is great!
Thanks Docs!
You need to mix more crap in your concoction.
I’m using plain Greek yogurt topically to keep rosacea flares down. It really works! Is it the probiotics in it that is helping?
I noticed that as I started drinking alcohol to excess, that I would have nausea every morning when I woke up. Brushing my teeth would cause me to wretch and would frequently induce vomiting. My bowel movements became very loose and more frequent. I observed this for nearly a year. At some point I began to wonder if maybe the alcohol was killing the "good" bacteria in my bowel, much the way antibiotics do, so I started taking a probiotic that had 10 strains and 60 billion CFU (colony forming units) and within 4 days the symptoms went away and have stayed away for nearly a year and a half. Not drinking would probably be the better solution, but for now this is working. If I fail to resupply and miss a couple of doses, that's all it takes for the nausea to return. I'm convinced that the loose bowels would also return in a few more days. This is anecdotal, but it's truly what I've observed in my own experience, for what that's worth.
I love the humour. Keep it coming.
Great video. Thanks for the info. See you next time!
I picked up C-Diff after colon surgery and went on an antibiotic protocol, Vancomycin, and took a daily high-potency probiotic to help my gut health. I have been off the antibiotic for three months and continue using the probiotic. The C-Diff has not resurfaced, and I feel the probiotic has helped keep my gut health in balance and the C-Diff from returning.
Glad to hear that
I got C.Diff from augmentin. I will never take again. My GI recommended a probiotic to help with gut health so I hope it does help somewhat.
Love your humor and education, you guys are the best
Thanks Gloria!
I learned a lot thank you.
Welcome Sandy
As always it's worth mentioning, that pasteurized probiotic foods from the supermarket don't have any life bacteria in them unless they are added afterwards.

Wahls Protocol has been a blessing.
probiotic taker of many years
I always have saurkraut and kimchi in the fridge. I also eat miso and tempeh but not often enough. I'm a vegan so LOTS of fibre but no yoghurt. I'm very curious about microbiome/autoimmune interaction. I recently developed a mild soreness in one wrist/base of thumb so I bought a hand exerciser which has made a difference. I have familial high cholesterol and therefore some atheroschlerosis so maybe there's some kind of weirdness in my gut bugs. Such a fascinating and mind-blowing subject. I have always avoided antibiotics - trying to think whether I've ever had any - not in the last 50 years! I'll be 80 in 12 months. Thanks for the video, they would be NOTHING without the dad jokes! NOTHING!
Wow awesome!!
Try the turmeric with black pepper capsules from Costco, I had pain and a swollen joint in my cmc joint and it is 99% better now. Highly anti inflammatory.
@@1whitecottagelife770Thanks for the tip but I've had to give up turmeric which I love because I'm on blood thinners and so turmeric's blood thinning effect compounds the action of the medication and makes it too powerful, unpredictable and dangerous for me.
Please do SERIOUS research into Keto and the stricter Carnivore way of eating!!!! It is literally saving people’s lives!!! I am a 77 year old female on Carnivore for 8 months now, and it is a life saver. Blessings….
@@carolblair2845 I've been vegetarian then vegan for a total of 55 of my 79 years. There are 3 groups of reasons for my decision: My health, ethical treatment of animals, and environmental concerns incuding climate change mitigation. The whole keto/carnivore thing seems myopic and extremely selfish as it kills billions of animals worldwide each year. An extreme carnivore diet is also not sustainable at all in terms of carbon use. So my decision is not made self-centeredly but in terms of my role as an ethical being in the context of a complex world.
Love the humor❤
You guys are amazing. I learn and laugh. I want my Dr to be just like you both.❤️🇨🇦❤️
When my youngest child had an earache (29 years ago) I took her to the clinic I had hoped to get a culture done. The Dr. prescribed an antibiotic without a culture. When I questioned her about the over prescribing of antibiotics. She made me feel like I was out of line.
People always blame the "parents" but in some cases it is the doctor.
In the time it took for the lab to grow the culture, that same culture was growing in your child's ear possibly damaging her hearing. Listen to the doctor.
I have gut issues and starting to add Kefir, Yogurt, fermented foods etc (I did my research and found which products actually have live cultures that haven’t been killed by pasteurization or the sugar added (to fruit yogurt for example). Fermented foods always need to be refrigerated. You really have research it. I had no idea.
Yes live cultures for sure. It can help especially in those with gut issues. Sauerkraut too!
I started a probiotic subscription months ago and it has absolutely changed my body for the better but of course we all react differently and some may not have the same results
Of the 10 you listed, I don't eat any of them, partially because I am lactose intolerant and I have a soy allergy. I am a whole food plant based vegan, and besides vitamins D3 and B12, I take 3 to 4 tablespoons of ground flaxseed meal, which has really helped my gut, not to mention lowering my BP substantially. Interesting video though.
You can make homemade (or buy) coconut milk yogurt? Also homemade or store bought fermented sauerkraut. Wild Brine is really good I've bought that a few times. Can also make fermented vegetables. Don't forget vegetarian kimchi. Most kimchi has fish in it but I've seen vegetarian versions.
Good presentation. I am fond of pasteurized sauerkraut,which I eat instead of non-pasteurized,mainly because the former is cheaper. Maybe time to spend a little extra for gut health?
As a teen, I took a _lot_ of tetracycline for acne.
As an adult, I had the most awful smelling, um, gas you could POSSIBLY imagine.
I began taking probiotics, and in about two weeks, NEVER AGAIN. So, now I've been taking probiotics for gosh, 30 years? I never have any kind of fungal infections, no athletes foot even though I used to go to the gym regularly ... so I think probiotics are helpful.
I know that I'm not a doctor, of course.
Hey everyone is a bit different and you know you best. Glad to hear it
I've had probiotic and prebiotic recommendation from doctors for years without any of them learning what caused my gut problems.
Sorry to hear that. Hope it gets better
I have IBS-C and after research have found two specific probiotics that are extremely helpful.
I have that too. Which ones were they? I hear aligin and curetelle. Which is better and helped you? Please and thanks in advance
I've tried probiotics and didn't notice any difference, and as you say they are unregulated so I always worried if they were what they say they are.
I do take digestive enzymes and I find they help my stomach. I've had my gallbladder out and was told it helps. Do you agree?
You guys are so informative, witty, and very funny. Thanks for your expertise
The risk vs benefit of your jokes weigh heavy on the side of benefit. Another informative video that I will ask my PCP for his suggestion. Thanks again for the time and your input in each video.
