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

Thanks juniper although I am very sorry for what you are going through. I'm 69 now and have CIC - meaning the Drs and experts have no idea what causes my constipation, much less how to treat it.

And I do everything suggested. Hydration, fiber, solid nutrition, plenty of sleep, in the gym 7 days a week, and I still need to take Miralax every night and stimulant laxatives every other day. And then when that kicks in, I'll spend a day in the bathroom. It's kinda horrible.

I had both knees replaced in 2022 and the surgeon was great and my knees are great. The Dr. used a robotic assistant to guide the removal of arthritic bone.

So if a robot can help fix a knee, why can't the health industry find a fix for constipation. Unreal.

All the best to you friend. Joe

I feel the same. I’ve gone to Dr’s for 12 years and they haven’t been able to help in any way. There has to be an answer out there somewhere.

Hi Joe,
CIC, should stand for chronic idiotic caustic disorder, that all drs suffer from. Your knee surgery made me squirm. I fear that hip surgery is in my future, since both are congenitally deformed and now in a constant impingement. I am afraid of the surgery because of my CIC. I already have to stay in loose to diarrhea, Miralax is the best option for me. My GI was terrific back in 2008 when diagnosed my severe celiac disease, cuz I am asymptomatic, still am. But when he couldn't get me to go away with my CIC and he had nothing that worked. He literally dumped me as his patient.
I hope your knees have recovered well.
