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

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.

YUCK!! I think you may have just convinced me to stop eating solid food and start guzzling Miralax.
The enemas and suppositories 🔥 so bad. I too have had some painful surgery, but that my tube was just plain torture.

Sorry about the problems.

For me, I just have to take a lot of things daily. Otherwise, things get backed up and I have a lot of problems.

- have to hydrate well
- have to take Metamucil
- have to take Miralax
- have to take a full glass of prune juice.

If I don't do that daily, I have trouble.

By that I mean, that I would wait until I have problems and only then take things.

But, as a preventative, doing a daily discipline before any problems show? That is what I really needed to do.
