What's Really Behind Leaky Gut? – Dr.Berg On Leaky Gut Symptoms & Vitamin C Deficiency

CORRECTION: "Smoking cigarettes can deplete the vitamin C in your blood by 25%."

Dr. Berg talks about what's really behind a leaky gut. It is scurvy of the colon. A lack of vitamin C can cause a loss of collagen in the lining of the intestines thus making the gaps open and allow undigested proteins to enter.

No other channel even comes close to this! I'm thankful for Dr Berg's generosity to share his work publicly.

I have Psoriasis and my Dr in UK suggested that I go on Chemotherapy to weaken the immune system (yeah that's a great idea) and improve my condition. I ran out of there and never went back because all I needed to do was to get rid of Carbs and Sugars and start taking Vit D and Cod Liver Oil supplements. Thanks Dr.

For me leaky gut was caused by oxalosis following antibiotics and an extremely high oxalate diet that consisted of mostly vegetables. I was eating far above the RDA of vitamin C, so that wasn't the problem. Switching to a meat only diet for a week and then eating low oxalate diet afterwards has cured me (along with intermittent fasting). It gave the gut a chance to heal.

Dr Berg, what other doctors can’t explain in 1hour you have done in 5min. You are the best👏

Dr. Berg please never leave us, your intelligence and humbleness are the many reasons I subscribed to you. Thank you so much for all that you do!

dr berg you forgot to tell, that stress which raises cortisol causes insulin to rise as well. so people can get insulin up not just from eating a lot of sugar, and smoking but from stress alone! which in turn depletes vitamin c!

i feel this is very important to know

Dr Berg is out of the box, he learns about nutrition because he wants people to get well unlike some that just want the title and pay at the end of the month.

I love love love Dr. Berg! He helps so many for free through his videos. There are people trying to get famous on YT now by discrediting him, but if you look in the comments, the voices of all those he has helped set the record straight, and easily outnumber the naysayers. Thank you Dr. Berg!!

this is the first I've heard of vitamin C deficiency causing Leaky Gut. Most health videos attribute leaky gut to one of two things: candida or gluten. Interesting...

Only when I am sick to the Dr. This guy knows how cells systems work. He explains and keep explaining like a real Master.

Vit, C deficiency could cause leaky gut, no argument, but many other things do as well. Having high C doesn't eliminate getting leaky gut.

This is why my body freaks out on milk protein!! No traditional MDs, whether dermatologist or allergist, acknowledge this. I'm subscribed!!

Plant food caused my severe gut problems, when stoped eating them and introduced fatty beef and pork with bones, skin and fat I healed my gut instantly, now 19 months later I drink 1 coffee, I eat 2tbs of good sauerkraut and 1apple a day and the rest of my food are animal product. Meat heals❣️

[isaicynt]

Would you do a video (if you haven't already) on improving gut health, how to clean/eliminate bad bacteria and improve microbiome health. Thank you in advance.

[rickyfromthehouseofpaton]

[criconinvestments]

People trust Dr Berg more than their own Dr lol...

[kymelatejasi]

I bought some vitamin C for other problems. Glad to know it'll help the main issue I've been trying to fix. Thank you, Dr. Berg!

One of the best leaky gut videos on YT. I have tendon pain after taking antibiotics but many it is the stress as well that helped create the problem.
