water fast til noon, 10k steps minimum, 3/4- 1 gallon daily, an increase in fiber, regular sleep schedule, and taking probiotics seems to keep my symptoms much lower. I've had every test under the sun, and my doctors have all recommended diet, exercise and making sure I take care of the above. I try and avoid medication at all costs, and be proactive in what I am in control of. Best of luck to others struggling with gut issues - you're not alone.

Even though I don’t personally have this issue, I watch all your videos. They’re incredibly helpful not just in explaining the diseases and their causes but also in showing what can actually be done about them. I really appreciate the way you explain everything clearly and support it with scientific studies. Thanks for your work!

I’ve had IBS-C for decades. Your video was a lightbulb moment for me! I recently had nausea in my Dr office and had to physically pull, what I know now was biofilm, from my throat. The hospitalist that treated me said it was mucus and had the nurse immediately discard it. It was in one long fibrous piece. He completely dismissed my symptoms and said there’s nothing wrong with me. I had been on a parasite cleanse.

Excellent video THANKS 🙏 GOD BLESS YOU 👏💐

I've been following you for a while and this topic really touched a cord because recently I was told I had extreme erosion of my molars and my dentist believes it could be my silent reflux that is causing this, not grinding as I always thought. Have you ever heard of this? I've had reflux for many years and took PPIs but decided it wasn't good for me and I stopped. Eating "real" food and fasting has helped. Thank you!

I had a lot of stomach issues for years, changed to a carnovore diet 3 weeks ago, all that stuff disappeared. I had chronic inflammation in my body and in my intestines, thats gone too, feels so wierd, that was part of my every day life for years. Now I have noticed how important it is to find a diet that works for yourself. Had medication since 2013, and now I don't need that anymore, which also feels wierd.

[JoshuaSoon-sy]

[ScottWood-pz]

BAM!
REALLY GOOD!

[Cherylsposition]

Great information, thank you so much it has really helped me

[nielhodgman]

Thank you for this valuable information

[samantha]

EXCELLENT. I've started fluconazole 150g 3 weeks ago and no longer have toxic saliva at night, doughy mouth or terrible feeling of bad breath. It really helps. I still have 2 weeks to go with it. After that I will target the possible biofilm and I think I will be good.

Great video. Didnt know about the nitric oxide connection. Whats the exact name of the vagal stimulator and website? Thanks so much. I have tried the pulsetto which didnt help me at all.

[REIMARAValk]

Thank you very much for addressing the topic of acid reflux. Dr RUSCIO, you are an advocate of probiotics but some scientists argue that the use of probiotics is simply a waste of money. What is your view on this critique? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the wider public. Kind regards miss Reimara

[traceytrudeau]

Worst episode of reflux ever was from taking glutamine on an empty stomach (after 9 hours of fasting)… Absolutely BRUTAL

[leeyost]

I took hcl and it exacerbated my heartburn!!!

[thearb]

I'm 5 days on probiotics and I can tell a difference.... Prylocek does nothing so I'm heading this route thank you. and hope to wean off prylocek

[martarico]

Circumstances is so high in oxolates 😮

[natalieanderson]

Thank you so much for producing this excellent video, very clear and informative. I have ME/CFS and started getting problems with nausea, belching, insomnia, anxiety etc . I had Hpylori, treated with antibiotics but still wasn’t fully better I did the Sibo diet which seemed to do the trick. I did start to have mini episodes for a couple of years then last year I had a massive flare up again. No Hpylori present, have been on Sibo/ anti Candida diet for two months, I have ok days but still not healed. I already meditate everyday, should I continue on this diet and exclude histamin foods as well?

I have had severe gut issues for 25 years, it's ruined my life. I'm down to about 3 foods I'm able to eat with the least problems. Most of the Dr's I've talked to, just want to give you damaging pharmaceuticals. I sure wish I could afford to be treated by you guys, but it's expensive. I wonder if I should just experimenting with random lactobacillus blends...can't see how it could be any worse.

What is the proper test called for SIBO and Candida?
