Is Dr. Gundry and "leaky gut" a scam?

Never wish for constipation. No drs really have any idea how awful it can be or how stupid they are when dishing out meds and advice. Same GI for 17 years, every script available, constant impactions plus worse. When a GI says " I don't know anything about the autonomic nervous system or what to do about motility." RUN OUT OF THE office and dump the dr. before he dumps you, after you get to have a nasal gastric tube shoved up your nose and down your throat for 3 days in ICU, because you DID have a partial small bowel obstruction forming. He literally would not return my calls, when I told him about it.

I’m sorry you had/ have to deal with that. I guess it’s pretty miserable at either extreme. I nearly died with c diff and have had constant diarrhea since. It’s been 12 years and I can have uncontrollable diarrhea at any time. Just last week, at a restaurant. It was horrible. I mean, sitting at the table and it just poured out. It was horrible. So, from my perspective, a little constipation would be welcome. I wish we could all just be normal. I’m sorry for your problems.💕

After several abdominal surgeries I have a particular horror of constipation. Yes I had a total bowel obstruction, ng tubes, central line tpn, weeks in hospital incl icu. Now I always take stool softener, plus Metamucil gummies and warm prune juice for emergencies...also keep Fleets enema and suppositories on hand.
