@@martarico186 In my view, it’s an extreme elimination diet. Generally, I don’t think a person has to go that extreme with an elimination diet to achieve better gut health. That said, some people really benefit. Here’s more about carnivore: drruscio.com/carnivore-diet/
I have the same problems the conventional doctors know zero on gut issues and these are the 3 Gi doctors I have just gone too. I have been researching on my own and getting more information. The doctors just give you all those PPi’s and drugs on the same lines that give you more problems. My friend has polyps in her stomach and is in pain…….I read up on this and found out PPi’s can give you polyps in the stomach. I told her to mention it to the doctor next time. But most likely the doctor will blow it off and say no because they want to push those drugs. I am sure my friend also has other stomach problems too. Her diet is not good.
Thank you first for speaking calmly, slowly. And then for all of the great knowledge you’re sharing with us! You have a voice that’s calming to listen to and you’re not hyper & speaking so quickly we struggle to catch things 😅. Thank you!!🎉❤
Could you make a video talking the link between gut health and skin health, ive noticed improving my gut health have helped out my skin a lot! Especially on the topic of acne!
Being constipated causes us l to reabsorb toxins through the gut lining and they come out wherever they can like the skin. Acne is inflammation and also overburdened liver. When everything is coming out the way it should (the colon), it also relieves the liver. Eating a lot of raw ripe fresh organic alkaline produce helps detox and keep bowels moving in my experience. Leaving out inflammatory foods like nightshade plants, nuts, berries, citrus and all starches for a while if necessary.
Hey! Thanks for your comment and great to see interest in this topic. It’s definitely on our list. For now, we’ve recently published a few articles on the topic, like this one: drruscio.com/gut-skin-axis/

Hi doc. I am a teacher and I felt I was learning from another teacher. It was very well explained and you gave hope when you said that we can again start tolerating the Fodmap foods in the course of time.

Would love some more information and your opinion on dealing with/healing histamine intolerance, i guess its just like lactose intolerance the more you heal your gut the better symptoms may be ❤
I agree! My diet is so limited as I have developed a histamine intolerance due to my leaky gut. I had SIBO which I believe is now under control. (Have been taking your recommended probiotics but recently stopped the soil based as it it is high histamine.) Have been in treatment for this and I have recently found I high levels of citrinine in my system and I'm treating that with PectaSol-C-Pectin. Any other advice?
How to decrease histamine and symptoms- Low histamine diet Coffee- Organic, low acid, no pesticides and no mold (peak performance or bulletproof) No gluten, no dairy, no alcohol Liposomal vit C DAO supplement before each meal (Seeking Health) Antihistamines Heal Gut- Probiotics (Seeking Health) L-Glutamine (Amy Meyers or seeking Health) Dairy free colostrum alternative (Amy Meyers) Digestive enzymes before each meal ( Amy Meyers or Seeking Health) Wishing you well on your healing journey. ❤
Keffir is good for some people but not for others.....some factors have to be taken into consideration, is the kefir homemade or is it store bought, is the kefir made with goat's milk or is it cow milk? etc.. I make my own kefir with goat's milk and drink about 1 cup everyday and it is helping me a lot with my GI problems.
You’re absolutely right. Some people also struggle with fermented foods, period, because of histamine intolerance. It’s very individualized. I’m so glad you’ve found success with making it on your own at home! That’s the best - you know exactly what’s in it.
Yep! Maltodextrin is used as a sweetener, flavor enhancer, emulsifier, thickening agent… it’s called by names that sound healthy like tapioca starch, potato starch, dextrose.. it’s in almost everything in a bottle, box or other packaged foods and beverages and supplements
Great information! Thank you so much for sharing. I've been suffering with Ulcerative Colitis for a year now, and finding that diet and taking care of my gut health really makes a difference in my overall health.
This makes sense, it's a complex of factors . This spring I suspected SIBO, symptoms improved after quitting processed foods , switch to glutenfree , adding probiotics and betaine HCL. Last weeks gradually eating more wheat and high FODMAPs, an leaving probiotics symptoms re appeared. So I have to go back to the new regime . Can you also make a video on the benefits of well chewing food. The proces of good digestion starts in the mouth and the enzyms added there. I would like to learn more about that, Nobody talks about that topic.. thankx!
The only way to properly blitz this issue is green shakes plus buckwheat/quinoa 3 times a day for 100 days. It's horrendous, but works. I have put severe RA into remission doing it. And after that a strict WFPB oil free diet. Clint Paddison's Ted Talk changed my life. Amen!
Very calm and explained video. I didn't like this Dr before but I am learning to hear what he is saying and it make sense. I love that he recognize individuality and how some thing work for some or some just don't. Thanks for the video.
I did a GI map and had VERY high Bacterodetes and firmicutes but everything else was MUCH better than a year ago. I guess I will work on digestive enzymes, HCL and ox bile while stopping all probiotics till I can get it lowered. Its at 54 trillion but supposed to be around 3 trillion. GI map said not to do probiotics and not add fuel to the fire, I just learned this and had been doing TONS of probiotics the past year. God used the GI map to save my life, along with full spectrum nutrition digestion. I almost died last year.

Great video. Healing leaky got / eating low FODMAP is so confusing. I bought the Monash FODMAP app, which says Kefir and high fat cultured yoghurt are both high FODMAP, and should thus be avoided - but here I'm hearing they're great. My challenge is identifying what's actually good for me. Some foods give me eczema, some give me upset stomach, but my suspicion (which I can't really test) is that the foods that really caused by leaky gut might not give me any immediate symptoms, and thus go under my radar - like lectins or gluten. I have no idea.
Totally understandable that you feel that way - sometimes whether or not to include specific foods can seem difficult to parse. On some level, once you’re prepared to try an elimination diet or other diet modifications, it comes down to what foods work for you. Kefir is a great example (lactose-free kefirs are usually considered low FODMAP) - many people find its probiotic content extremely beneficial, while others can’t tolerate it because they react to fermented foods. There are a lot of other intersections to consider too - not just FODMAPs, but histamine sensitivity and other food intolerances. Monash is one of the best resources for guidance on low FODMAP, but they’ll sometimes give variable values for the FODMAP content in foods based on, for example, the naturally occurring variance in certain raw foods, portion sizes, etc. These elimination diets are designed to get you on the right track, and only include foods that are generally helpful, anti-inflammatory, and non-reactive. But ultimately, it comes down to what options within those foods sit right with you and what your body tolerates best.
@@DrRuscioDC Thank you very much for the thorough reply. Do you think I can use immediate symptoms (eczema, flushing, upset stomach - all of which happen within 1 hour of consumption) as a proxy for what I can tolerate, or is it likely/common that certain foods won't give any immediate symptoms but nevertheless cause/maintain leaky gut?
@@Pechanni I think it’s a mix. The short answer is yes, we know some foods generally promote inflammation and can contribute to ongoing leaky gut/other issues, so it’s best to avoid them during a true elimination diet. In general, if you have the symptoms you’re describing immediately/soon after consuming a specific food, it’s a good indication that you might have an intolerance. It sounds painstaking - and in a way it is, so I really empathize - but, depending on how severe your symptoms are, going one by one, one food at a time, and seeing how you feel/react can help narrow it down, especially if you’re unsure of what specifically is causing your symptoms. But I’d advise doing that while already strictly following an elimination diet - so cutting inflammatory foods out entirely for now, regardless of if they seem to cause a reaction or not.
Yes, this, but I have both histamine intolerance and MCAS and react to so many things. You really have to eliminate and very slowly add foods back in. I can only eat fresh meat and veg and everything cooked has to be eaten right away or frozen til eaten. I can thankfully eat fresh greens and lots of different meat, but people with this can also react to ground meat, bone broth, collagen, protein powders or slow cooked meat. Also I can’t do any probiotics without reactions.😢
This is so true- FODMAPS can be the real cause of major issues. Had GERD for 4 yrs, now have realised removing fruits, gluten, sugar helps.. most importantly FODMAPS like fructans to be completely avoided. After 4yrs of suffering there is some understanding of how to come out of this
Going on the FODMAP elimination diet saved my life. My whole life improved. My IBS symptoms disappeared immediately. Brain fog gone. Chronic fatigue gone. Depression gone. Dandruff gone. Dry skin/alligator legs healed. My body order gone. I'm still mostly on it, after 7 years, but i can tollerate most of the foods thst are high in FOMAPS on occassion. Best of wishes to eveyone on their food journey. I have a rare autoimmune called Scleroderma. Wishing there were more studies with diet and this condition.
So happy for you!👍 How bad was your brain fog and how long did you have it? I can't get rid of mine. :( I need someone who really knows gut health. Maybe I should buy his book.

@@jacquidan01 I’m so sorry to hear that you’re struggling! We actually can accept clients located anywhere through our virtual clinic. Here’s the link if you’re interested: drruscio.com/virtual-clinic/. And yes, low FODMAP, like all elimination diets, is meant to be shorter term, but some people find long-term dietary changes provide better symptom management. As long as your nutrition needs are being met, it should be okay. That said, some people are able to reintroduce some trigger foods after a strict 3+ month diet.
I tested positive for sibo through my GI doctor. The rx was $2500 and there was a 50% chance that I might have to repeat it. Instead I ordered all 3 of your probiotics and oregano. I am not good at remembering the oregano, but the probiotics alone have been a total blessing!! I have no bloat or pain at all. I have even been able to add in riced cauliflower in my smoothies, onions, garlic, apples etc it’s amazing! I was low fodmap for about a month w the probiotics then added everything back in. I’m still ordering all 3 bc I feel like I have a normal functioning digestive system. Thank you for the awesome info and products, it means a lot. ❤
I am excited to find this podcast. Ive been extremely ill since covid vax 2021. Mayo diagnosed me w/MCAS. Im now also brittle diabetic. I have been on carnivore 45 days.

If you are "carnivore", why would you be eating maltodextrin, or want to? It's highly processed carbohydrate powder!!!! Just eat beef and water. Keep off chicken and pork as they are not ruminants and are fed crap in feedlots.
Hey Michael, new subscriber here and love your information mate absolutely perfect. I Have multiple sclerosis and have linked it to certain foods (processed, oils, alcohol) I put in my body. I am currently on carnivore to fix my stomach and can use it as elimination to see what foods react how, I believe this is because of leaky Gut... But I just wanted to let you know if I go near vegetables oils I get very bad flare ups and I believe this is because of leaky gut. I just wanted you to know. Your a legend mate thank you for the videos, I will point every one to you who needs advice on healing MS as from a group perspective they're all saying.... DIET!!!

Very nice information you t mentioned what food is good fr gut as some food cause allergy to one not to others .fr diabetic apple are good but you said it high fodmap
From all my research on AMD they all say seed oils damage the macula. I am at the early stages of dry and I need to stop anything that damages my eyes and this includes seed oils. What research have you found? Thanks for all your knowledge and these podcasts. B
Thanks again for the content You reference a preference to organic food - in this context what definition of "organic food" are you using? Just to help me understand a bit better (so many companies just label their products as organic without any strong classification)
The high histamine list would also include some things you're suggesting like nuts and seeds, clove and other spices. I can barely eat anything healthy anymore because of the histamine problem
Really great video. I appreciate the science based and thoughtful information. Curious if you could speak to protein powder or bars. I tend to avoid it because I believe it falls into the processed food categories but curious if you agree and/or have any insight.
Thank you! And yes, we cover that question in a few places. This transcript provides some suggestions for powders to try: drruscio.com/listener-questions-probiotics-anxiety-sibo-libido-protein-powders-iberogast/. It’s all about finding one with the least inflammatory ingredients. Whole foods are probably going to be best, but we generally recommend upping or supplementing protein intake as part of dietary support for gut health.
I think the advice on FODMAPS is either wrong or needs to come with a caveat. If you suffer from SIBO (verified with a simple breath test), then absolutely cut out FODMAPS and get your SIBO under control with anti-microbials, Rifaxamin, etc. FODMAPS will feed your SIBO and worsen leaky gut. But if you don't have SIBO, then you should be eating FODMAPS to support your microbiome. FODMAPS are a very broad category and I think the mistake here is that there are overlaps between high FODMAP foods and foods that are bad for leaky gut. Wheat is the perfect example. It's high FODMAP, but it's actually the gluten that's the problem. Legumes are high FODMAP, but it's the high lectin content that's doing the damage to your gut. Uncooked high fiber veggies can be problematic as well to leaky gut. So don't focus on the FODMAPS. Instead focus on eliminating gluten, high lectin foods, and raw veggies. But do eat FODMAPS. Other than that, the advise in the video seems to be spot on.
Having been diagnosed with Lyme/Bartonella/Babesia, I'm experiencing leaky gut for the first time. Histamine, for me, is a no-no and cause of significant suffering. So fermented foods are off the list. Makes taking in healing foods very challenging and trying to figure out what to eat. Bone broth is high in histamine, a go-to for healing the gut is off my list.
Great video but I disagree about gluten and dairy. I think everyone should avoid these fools and especially those with IBS symptoms. Gluten and dairy are so problematic and very closely associated with autoimmune disease and leaky gut. They are also addictive. It's better just to be safe and avoid them.
Wish I'd seen this video about 15 years ago when I was truly suffering with leaky gut. I see I did good on my own as a non-medical "researcher" trying to figure out my own issue, but this was excellent information. Now I'm researching Hashimoto's. I heard today that the thyroid is very sensitive to radiation -- and what are our cellphones? Radiation emitters. Wow. Something to think about there. Why is it that so many people are now getting diagnosed with Hashimoto's? You never used to hear of it. Could it be...radiation?
Hi I AM 42 years old man, I don’t drink alcohol, never smoked, no drugs etc. I have very eat life without stress and I would describe myself as a friendly and positive person- but 😂 I discovered just after 30 that I have very often headaches and them I have to go to the toilet few times- i stated to make a note with food I previously had- I have food intolerance after eating - celery , red and white cabbage, buckwheat, millet, barley, seafood, almonds, pistachios, cranberry, dry and fresh plums, raisins, oats, beef , turkey, duck, lamb and wild meats ( except chicken and pork) !! Also alkohol is not good for me , the same like wine ( especially red) I don't like beer, so I don't drink alcohol at all. I love white and green tea. I had meningitis when I was a child - if that helps. I have allergie or strong response from my body ( especially my eyes ) after taking acetylsalicylic acid. I have never had a stomach ache after eating anything in my life!!! I always have a headache first - it usually lasts up to 20 hours after eating and then I have to go to the toilet several times (I have slight diarrhea). I am 182 cm tall and I weigh 72 kg. I have an athletic figure, I don't have any diseases, I had hernia surgery when I was a child and once again at the age of 30, this time on both sides of my groin. I had few appointments with doctors and dietetics unfortunately, none of them was able to help me. I started to have strange symptoms : I had a very long-lasting cough for almost 3 months and now I feel like I have something in my throat and I have to cough quite often - I have such a hoarseness. I started to cure myself using / taking : Candex SIBO 45 Capsules ( contains : calcium, Grapefruit speed, Berberine oregano extract, Reishi) 2. L-Glutamine 500mg 90 Capsules 3. Glutamine power 4. Creatine monohydrate 5. Collagen peptides 6. Zinc Magnesium and B6 7. Vitamin B complex 8. Vit D3 9. AAKG. 10. Probiotics: 60 Billion CFU Pro Bio Cultures Complex - 60 Capsules (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, and Saccharomyces boulardii) Mastic gum Betaine HCl Sometimes I feel very well but them all symptoms returned to me again. I was thinking to start keto diet for a few weeks to see if that's will help me. Eliminate flours, sugars and dairy. Have you ever encountered a similar case or know how I can help myself?
SIBO/dysbiosis (bloating, diarrhea/loose stools) + histamine or other biogenic aline (tyramine, cadaverine, pitrescine) intolerance (food reactions to beef, other red meat wine, other fermented foods) - you should try a prokinetic if you feel bloated often after eating. Examples are pharmaceuticals like prucalopride 0.5mg, domperidone, low-dose erythromycin, non-pharmaceuticals are ginger extract + artichoke extract - remove foods you are sensitive to and reintroduce a few weeks later SLOWLY one by one. DO NOT STAY ON A RESTRICTED DIET!!! You need to reintroduce. Don’t fall for the carnivore or keto hype. - reduce psychological stress and anxiety disorders, especially health anxiety. There are a lot of hypochondriacs in these spaces. Also: sleep well. These two factors can drastically influence your gut lining integrity and immune response - try supplementing soluble fibers such as FOS, XOS, HMO, GOS to feed keystone species producing SCFA and lactic acid in order to acidify the colon and reduce proteobacteria (they thrive in more neutral to alkaline pH), which produces a lot of biogenic amines. - stop taking that insane amount of other supplements and get your nutrients from actual food. Maybe keep the probiotics.
You need to follow Dr. Brooke Goldner's RU-vid channel. She cured her auto immune disease with a raw vegan smoothie protocol. I'm 70 and go to the gym 5 days a week. I only eat raw vegan fruit and veggies and nuts and seeds and melons and berries and seaweeds and lentils and chia and flax.
@@rodneymoore2044 “all you need is” is a f@cking stupid and ignorant way to try to help someone. No, you have no idea if this person “only needs these two supplements”. That is bullshit. Yes, they may try these and see if they help, but suggesting that someone takes a B1 supplement just like that just shows how much you’ve been brainwashed by the Elliot Overton cult.
That sounds like me in the past. Have you been checked for autoimmune? Have you been to a GI doctor? Low FODMAP diet helps with everything I swear by it.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I recently added more plants to my diet and my gut isn't really liking it. I found that if I take a Bean Assist enzyme capsule (Alpha Galactosidase) with broccoli and beans it greatly helps with the gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort. But I wonder if this is something that's safe to take every day because it mentions "occasional" on the label? And will my need for this enzyme decrease over time? Thanks again for your content.
That enzyme should be safe for long-term use. However, you’re right that digestive enzymes aren’t necessarily designed for that purpose. Ideally, they’re a temporary fix that give you gut time to heal, at which point you can reduce or discontinue. But anecdotally, some people who have trouble digesting certain foods use them long-term for those foods specifically.
@Chris, why eat broccoli and beans if you have a problem with them or unless you just really love them? You might want to check out Jay Feldman’s podcast, and he has a food chart for the least irritating foods to eat. 😊
Really appreciate your approach to recognize the importance of gluten-free whole grains (oats, quinoa & brown rice) for some diets and remaining diet agnostic in your evidence.
Ive learned may foods and spices are histamine inhibitors and cause great havoc. However cabbage causes me to have a runny nose but my gut felt better. What is your take on using unsweetened coconut yogurt.
Oats and quinoa is still very problematic to ppl with gluten sensitivity and leaky gut. Quinoa containing gluten-like substance Saponins. And oats containing Avenin. I get always insane brainfog from oats. No matter the brand or if its organic. I have leaky gut and gluten sensitivity so I try to avoid any grains.
It’s definitely an issue for some of us. That’s one reason I recommend trying paleo as an elimination diet - seeing how people feel with no grains, even technically gluten-free ones. If I recall correctly, the US has somewhat different standards for defining “gluten-free” than other countries do, so, for someone very sensitive, some non-wheat grains like the ones you mentioned may still cause a reaction.
I am truly stuck in a loop. I have had gastritis/IBS for 20 years. Had recurring chest infections treated with antibiotics as a child (asthma). Covid has destroyed any immune system I had left. I'm averaging 4-5 antibiotics a year, cannot fight infections on my own (daycare chest infections). Now the antibiotics are causing my gut to inflame and heart to race. These repeat flares have lasted 4 years and I cannot get out of this cycle. Doctors have dismissed me. Probiotics help, then everything is destroyed with antibiotics.
Looking back, I think I've had problems since childhood that have only become worse over time. I have a very bad immune system growing up, I would get sick all of the time, strep throat 4,5,6 times a year, I had gastritis for quite a while, etc.. I hope you can find a way to heal your body. I don't know your situation and it sounds like you get some serious infections. Keep trying to heal your gut / immune system when you are not having to take antibiotics. Also look into (check with your doctor) things like Zinc, Elderberries (I take the Elderberry Gummies with Zinc (no vitamin C - I try to get that from whole foods - some say you shouldn't take the supplement for Vitamin C as well). Some other things to help with the immune system are Vitamin D (fat soluble so we take it with Cod Liver Oil or Coconut Oil), Fire Cider, SIBO Yogurt (L. Reuteri), homemade fermented foods - Sauerkraut, Kombucha, Kefir although, you may want to limit things like that if you do have Leaky Gut - I'm not sure on that yet. It is still bacteria that can get through the stomach lining into the blood so that might not be great. I hope you are able to find a way to get your immune system working again so that you can start feeling better.
So try to explain this: I reslly had no digestive problems, until I quit drinking alcohol. Severe constipation, then explosive gas ( which is still occuring), diarea for 4 months...Ive gotten no answers, explanation, or help..FROM ANYONE.
Im Alergic to Xithol Almost killed me. Its not common but it was hell. I thought someone ripped my gut out when I ate accidentally (diabetic) muffin. Had no idea it was diabetic. And serving was 1/2 of a small muffin. Took me 2 tries to figure it out. That it was the store bought 3x chocolate mini muffin that sent me to ER.
Appreciated the information in this video. I learned quite a bit. Consider reading Sally K. Norton’s book, Toxic Superfoods and going to her website for a deeper understanding about oxalates. The damage they do is much more pervasive than people know. 😊
Hello sir i am going through a severe eczema and every time i eat something it gest flared up and i am on a healthy diet about 2 to 3 months and i am not seeing any good results please make a video about thia
O.K. So what you are saying is that I can eventually eat what I like (pizza, bread, pasta) after I use the Low Fodmap plan? I eat quinoa pasta, and oatmeal and buckwheat cereal for breakfast. Are these O.K.? I have been so overwhelmed lately with what I can and cannot eat. I believe this anxiety is causing gut issues, yes? What is your opinion on eating gluten-free bread? They seem to have a lot of ingredients in them. I am also doing a "no wine" for two weeks trial to see if that helps heal my gut. I really enjoyed this video.
I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the video! Low FODMAP, like other diet modifications and elimination diets, is generally meant to be done short-term. Some people have success adding foods they love back in after the fact, while others still have trouble tolerating certain foods. It’s hard to say what will happen because it comes down so much to the individual. I empathize with how overwhelming it feels, especially at the outset. Looking at it as a trial period rather than a lifelong change might help reduce some of that feeling. There are also many great low FODMAP recipes and substitutions that people have created to replace foods they love while on the diet. I know it’s hard, but try to stick with it - being strict and careful about it for the entire duration gives you the best chance at the biggest payoff.
@@JJChan-ur6zm That could be the culprit of my recent joint pain for the last six months and I ate two slices yesterday and it caused issues with my bowel movements.
I had horrible gut issues a few months ago. Couldn’t eat anything without bloating and feeling horrible. Been eating leaky gut/SIBO diet for a few months, and now I can eat anything again. Last week I ate normal pizza with gluten and lactose and had no issues. You can actually heal. I’ve been eating meat, chicken, fish, eggs, ginger, bone broth, blueberries, leafy greens, some vegetables, turmeric, water with lemon, carbonated water etc. Basically real food. When I say I ate meat I don’t mean processed stuff, I mean pork chops and foods with one ingredient. Minced meat is ok, but not sausages and so on. I also ate avacado, coconut milk, and if you need carbs eat white rice. Basmati is best for the gut I think. I also used salt on my food for the taste. But avoid any sugar if you can. I also took probiotic every day, and L-glutamin. Vitamin D, vitamin C, omega 3 supplement. Gut will heal after some months, and you can eat. Normal again. Avoid: gluten, dairy, sugar, processed foods, sucralose. Good luck. There is light in the end of the tunnel.
When I spent time in the UK I found that the average male individual would consume at least 3 pints of beer each day, or more if they could afford it, doctors included!
Also will choosing fruits low in lectins and fructose help and what are some fruits and veggies that are low in lectins and fructose and easy to digest and is it true that avocados in 1/8 serving is considered low fodmap
Please don’t eat to much nuts and seeds! They are full Of oxalates! This could also be why you have leaky gut! And also spinach! And also don’t eat gluten-free ! Eat more sourdough 😅! And whole grains is usually not good for you due to higher the bloodsugar and so on! Leaky gut is very hard I know I have it but it’s a lot better 😀
I’m sorry to hear that. Kefir is a great dietary addition and natural source of probiotics for some, but others can’t tolerate it well. Have you looked into histamine intolerance? Some people who are sensitive to histamine react poorly to fermented foods.
I started the Low Fodmap diet about 3 weeks ago. I haven't noticed any hugely significant changes in all my symptoms except perhaps less bloating (especially when I took out kimchi and kefir). Would it also be beneficial to get a food sensitivity test and then maybe eat according to that? I had one done a decade ago but just thought of that now. Perhaps that would instruct the best diet for my body?
Hi there! Both are theoretically useful in diagnosing leaky gut, but neither are completely accurate for clinical use. We go over these two as well as other common leaky gut tests here: drruscio.com/leaky-gut-syndrome-test/. The nice thing is, you don’t necessarily need a test to heal your body. If you present with the symptoms of leaky gut, you can take steps to heal your gut regardless of if you have these biomarkers. Plus, many leaky gut therapies, like elimination diets or introducing probiotics, are useful for a broad spectrum of GI conditions - so they may still help even if you’re dealing with something other than leaky gut.
i’m an active teen and i have a leaky gut, but i don’t want to go on a diet like low fodmap because i feel like it’s bad for young people to go on diets like that. i also have a ton of food sensitivities which i think was caused by my leaky gut so i don’t think going on a diet like that would help. i have a good diet, good sleep and everything and i was looking into l-glutamine. is that what you would suggest?
You should try to make your own bone broth from the butcher buy the ingredients and find a recipe. I personally use the powdered one at the healthstore with ginger and if you have this in the AM you can feel better sooner. It is slightly less money than the Lglutamine products which you might be young to use now.
Reducing FODmap is not the solution, it is reducing symptoms. If you have problem with broccoli and stuff, your body is out of balans, and probably because of lowgrade infection of virus, bacteria or parasites.
if people have problem with fodmap, probably they have a pathogen infection. Because of that infection thte body can not handle properly food, because of inflammation and imunity problems.
