Thanks for the info. Can you do a video on the best probiotics for histamine intolerance. Thank you. 😊

[remarkable]

I love your videos! By the way, when are you gonna make another video about your stool testing or from your patients? I watched that one with PHGG and Glucomannan. I can't wait for the next video!

Which Bio Gaia products you are talked about in the begining please? 🙏

What about Culturelle? It has Lactobacillus GG which is highly studied.

I've been using Visbiome for about 6 months now and it has helped my visceral hypersensitivity as well as overall stress levels daily. Combination of the probiotic and a smoothie with a kiwi every morning has kept me regular daily. I tested negative for SIBO twice and have had numerous other tests but still no idea how to cure this issue or what it is exactly, started almost 2 years ago. But at least I'm managing.

What happens after the study is over and they stop taking the probiotic, especially the high dose Vis Biome? Is there a certain length of time you have to take it to see a permanent change in the gut that is not reliant on the continuous ingestion of the probiotic? It's pretty pricey! Thanks for the info!

So is the visbiome probiotic the one that needs to be refrigerated? I don’t believe you can find that at any pharmacy in my area. Or are you talking about the powder one? The refrigerated one is $70 plus dollars on Amazon. Is that the right one?

[camillavanilla]

I read that low thyroid could cause constipation and i never knew that. Do you suggest taking iodine?

Dr. Your page to sign up for help does not seem to be working.

[gltam]

Thank you for your video, so how many servings of the little Activia cups of yogurt are recommended to achieve benefits for constipation ???

[lilmissliberty]

When is the best time to take probiotics? There's so much conflicting information out there.

[markospas]

activia would be my silver bullet if was not for joint pain that probably is reaction to dairy, but man when I eat activia my gut works perfectly. Wish they didn patent that strain or they start selling it as a standalone probiotic.

What are your thoughts on MegaSporeBiotic by Microbiome Labs? My nutritionist wants me to take it but I'm seeing some very concerning reviews on Amazon as well as a (scary) YouTube review by a gentleman who tried it. FYI, my SIBO test came back negative for hydrogen but low positive for methane (3), and my GI doc diagnosed me with IBS-C.

[PhyZyy]

what do you think about your NTP training? Did you find it useful, and worth the $8000?

[PinkLady]

I'm new here & I would like to know why You are not telling ppl about eating an unprocessed, clean low carb way of eating to truly resolve constipation for good...??

Life & health are found in what You eat, not in what 'meds' You can take... right?

[gerigill]

Can you pls tell me the yogurts you recommend?. I got the name of dannon activa but I didn’t understand the other two you mentioned. Help pls

If you are constipated. First, drink 1-2 glasses of hot water(Pregnant women can simply drink cold water). And wrap your fingers around the anal area between the buttocks and, standing on your feet, press several times, as if you were pressing a button on a remote control, but press as hard as you can, then wait 10-15 minutes. . When you feel gurgling in your stomach, it means that everything is in order, it means that water has entered the outlet. Then drink 1 glass again and this time go to the toilet. Again, while standing, repeat the same thing, placing your fingers on the anal area.

When you have a strong desire, you immediately sit on the toilet.

I can imagine situations in which someone would opt *for constipation* but I think that a solution *against constipation* would be far more practical in everyday life.
