For constipation, try cabbage water. Cook the cabbage in water, Cool it and drink the water.
Dr Gundry might be right about lectins in certain foods causing leaky gut syndrome?
Stool softener. I had the same problem. Now I proactively use every day. Also use magnesium tablets every day. Recommended dose on both are good enough. If not, extra stool softener is needed. If really stopped up, I use epsom salt water.
Hi, Jake. The science behind macrobiotics in general has much to do with acid-base balance. I recommend the writings of George Ohsawa if you wish to go into greater depth. As for why braising (this cooking method) is effective from a scientific point of view, I’m sure there are reasons on which I’m not fully versed, but my gut feeling (no pun) is that it infuses just enough water into the vegetables to maximize softness without diluting their nutrients, which also maximizes flavor, thus making them a delicacy the consumption of which is a pure pleasure. I just know that they work wonders for me in terms of results. Also, don’t worry if they produce “floaters,” as this is natural once your gut is clean.

In my opinion everything about him is a scam. He’s probably already selling every vitamin known to man to try and make up some of the nutrients in the foods he says we shouldn't eat.
As a scientist he should know foods provide more nutrients than supplements.
Save your money. He's looking out for himself not you.

And yet, here is this CHRONICALLY ILL WOMAN who got no help from the likes of the Mayo Clinic or any of dozens of other "doctors," while this doctor's approach, while not a miracle cure has done wonders. Me thinks this is yet another example of ESTABLISHED, FOR-PROFIT MEDICINE trying to slur, slam, shout down any and all with a voice offering anything but DRUGS, DRUGS, DRUGS--incidentally, part of why I got so sick, "doctors' throwing proton-pump inhibitors at me without realizing I had ADVANCED PERNICIOUS ANEMIA. Also, incidentally, an illness THEY NEVER DIAGNOSED. Like most patients, I was "diagnosed" via something I saw on the internet. MY SUMMATION OF "MODERN MEDICINE," for those of us with something unusual, it's USELESS.
Well, if your doctor is so great, he shouldn't be so frightened by other voices. Better yet, instead of LIBELING others, he should focus on his patients.

Kathleen, I LOVE your use of all caps! I am with you on how a lot of modern medicine ie, the dr.s that practice (isn't that a VERY odd word for the medical profession..it really does seem to suggest that we, the sickest people, are just guinea pigs) are useless. When your GI specialist says "I have no idea how the ANS(Autonomic Nervous System) works, you are constipated. If you have nerve issues you need to see a neurologist ". I swear he said this to me. I get the impression that dr. Gundry helped you with something. Would you be willing to share? Personally, I couldn't care less about who, what, where...if it helps me. I have never had PPIs, I refused them. I feel the same about PPIs, reverse mortgages and annuities... but this is my opinion. BTW, I think I was one of the recent negative posts about gundry/oatmeal. Shelley
metwo,
If nothing else, Dr. Gundry, sure is getting a lot of attention, good and bad. I think all of us should get paid for all the controversial free attention he is getting.🤪Shelley

1 ReactionDoctor Gundry doesnt exist it is a fake name for advertisers who promote their stuff.
@redmondav when you talk about “floaters”, do you mean the eye floaters? Those squiggly specks you see in your eyes …?
One of my doctors is a recognized world leader in nutritional science and thinks Gundry is a low nutritional information health advisor.
