You might want to see if you can find the pernicious anemia allergic gastritis diet. It's what I liver with, which makes giving up grains look simple! Part of why so many people of EUROPEAN ANCESTRY have problems is a specific gene error which means we can't handle ANY GRAINS, molds (as in fermented foods, and even some probiotics), salicylates (rife in many plants) and phenols (Ditto! With of note, I live in an area with pinon and juniper trees and when they put out pollen in the spring, I am deathly ill, to the extent I have to leave the area and go south to where they have already finished blooming. That's why I want you to have an intrinsic-factor antibody test because if you have P.A., you need to know it, and no, don't allow your doctor to convince you that your B-12 levels are fine. That's why I went undiagnosed for 31 years. If you don't have P.A., I absolutely know you have SIBO, so GET EDUCATED!
Kathleen4783,
I can tell that you have been through really really rough times with your health. You present some very important issues. But your good points get ignored by your yelling and belittling
If it makes you feel better about yourself, to make me as the simpleton idiot that you continue to scream at in your posts. You will need to find a tree stump and scream at it.
Please don't send any posts directly to me, about me.
I hope you continue to enjoy life.
There is a very simple and absolute proof Dr. Steve Gundry is more interested in money than helping people get well. In his own words he had a patient he calls "Big Ed" whose arterial blockage dropped 50% over 6 months while the patient lost 45 lbs. So Gundry tried the diet of Big Ed and it worked on him. Then his office staff tried it and it worked on them. So the obvious question is, if it works so well, and this is before all the research and development of his bottled products, using instead regular food and perhaps health food store products, so clearly none of the Gundry products are necessary. They weren't needed by Big Ed, weren't available to Gundry or his staff, and yet they achieved great results across the board.
Suffice it to say, Dr. Gundry isn't sharing any of the core information of what "big Ed" used to lose 45 lbs and reduct arterial clogging 50%. That implies very strongly that "Big Steve Gundry" IS IN IT FOR THE MONEY.
MY NEXT STEP IS TO READ Gundry's book The Plant Paradox.
Why am I interested in the book if Gundry is in it for the money? Simple. A neighbor whom I join for Friday night dinners is following the Gundry book The Plant Paradox. He has lost 7-8 lbs in 2-3 weeks - I haven't pinned him down on the specific start date yet while I do my own research... The Husband cooks his own foods, avoids sugar, and is a supervisor of restaurant for a Kosher food organization. He makes ice cream and brownies without sugar and it tastes better than the restaurants supposedly "best" recipes. He knows food, really knows how to cook, and is totally determined to eat healthy. I will refer to him as Mechanic as he fixes cars too.
With all that, I feel it's worth finding out how much of the result is his overall healthy eating and how much is a side benefit of Gundry's advice... to be continued, but frankly, based on the intentional withholding of Big Ed's diet, I am clear that Gundry's primary concern is cashing in. It may not have been his first impulse, andmaybe it wasn't his primary first thought when Gundry started, but until dr. Steve Gundry shares the diet that worked so well for "big Ed" - well I don't trust him. His real motivation seems to be cashing in, Gundry is definitely not sharing the "answer" from Big Ed.
Since I can't edit the original post, hear are some updates.
The Mechanic using the Gundry book The Plant Paradox reported weight loss at 13 LBS after 3 weeks (yesterday). It occurs to me Gundry may very well have realized that the "suppliers" of various health food products which "big Ed" used were full retail and very expensive. It is possible that Dr. Gundry was accomplishing many goals simultaneously by making his own concoctions: 1. higher quality
2. purer and stronger ingredients
3. more cost efficient
4. the opportunity to achieve a business income
In effect, he is getting paid for the (brain) work he does. The mechanic told me you don't have to buy the pills, just follow the advice and guidelines in The Plant Paradox. I still haven't read the book yet, so the jury is out on if Gundry does share the key information in his books.

1. I did NO such things. Perhaps that's your mind telling you what you are doing?
2. You keep ASSUMING I'm talking about Dr. Gundry here. I'm not sure, I may have read one of his books at some point, WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET YOU TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT HE IS ONE OF MANY DOCTORS TRYING TO GET PEOPLE (like you) to UNDERSTAND THAT RESEARCH HAS TAKEN MEDICINE ON TO A WHOLE NEW WAY OF DOING THINGS BUT
3. What is "modern medicine" doing? It is staying stuck back in the 1980s and 1990s, pretending we can ONLY TREAT THINGS AS WE ALWAYS HAVE WHEN NOW HUMANKIND KNOWS THINGS ABOUT SICKNESS AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY, PREVENTION than EVER IN HUMAN HISTORY.
4. Again, I was a science reporter covering a NATIONAL LABORATORY (where key medical research is done), and they are talking what GUNDRY (and other doctors are saying) NOT your outdated version, gratis of failed medicine, of symptoms based medicine.
5. You can continue embracing what is making you sick (denial) or you can (even if you keep eating wrong while you do it) GET EDUCATED ON 21ST CENTURY MEDICINE VERSUS 20TH CENTURY MEDICINE.
Well, I have been researching anything that can return my regular BM since my intestinal prolapse surgery in October and now I am becoming more than a little concerned. I also read Dr Gundry's excerpts from his book and I think he sounds like he just wants money from people. Not an expert as he calls himself. I don't know what to use anymore because nothing is really working.. Doctors have prescribe the Miralax, Lactulose, Bisacodyl, Phillips Milk of Magnesia (yuk) and other over the counter things- such a waste of money .... the list goes on... I was so desperate last week I bought one of those liquid enema apparatus kits.. but I felt it was too dangerous and that I may harm myself even further... my PCP suggested eating 2 Kiwi's Fruits and at least 64 ounces of warm lemon water per day.. Apparently Kiwi's are the new "Prunes" Yoga and different types of twisting exercises sometimes gets things moving a bit, but none of this gives me the relief that is needed to be normal. I am literally full of ___ !! Today I decided I am no longer eating because it is not being eliminated properly. I can't go on this way any longer.. Each doctor seems to be of no help. This is such a condition that is difficult and embarrassing to talk about, even to a gastrologist .. I don't know... I feel something is terrible wrong.. Please, does anyone have any have any other suggestions about what I can do this weekend? Thank you so much for any response 🙁
I too have had this problem for 11 years now after two auto accidents and severe scar tissue in abdomen by seatbelt.
One month to the day after 2nd accident I had severe abdominal pain and it was found I had a partial blockage. I did my own research. I have seen the damage doctors do to people with this problem. The only proven safe method is enema’s if you have backed up poop and time.
I went on a liquid diet and it took one month to break it up.
I lived like this for years ended up hospitalized with a perforated appendix and 4 day hospital stay. Now it was serious. It took a few more years till I found a Physical Therapist who broke all the scar tissue up and I no longer have partial blockages. I have found that kiwis do work wonders I had to eat 6 a day also warm prune juice and homemade blender vegetable soup. You have to change how you eat. Lots of vegetables, light soups, fish, chicken and fruit. No dairy, no wheat, NO SUGAR. One thing I learned through all this is you do not NEED large amount of food, you need the right food.
And of course add movement, brisk walking is wonderful and easy. It’s a change in lifestyle. This is only healed holistically.
As for the enema’s; Amazon carries the light blue silicon bag with open top so you can clean easily you can also buy a special device that cleans and dries tubing. And you sterilize tips. There are tutorials on how to do them I believe Dr Livingood is someone to follow for how to administer and types. All my doctors know I use them and not one has said they were dangerous, because it’s a method hospitals use.
I’m so sorry for what you’re experiencing I’ve been there and it’s very distressing; but this does safely work.
@millerdust
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.

If he is only interested in money, as YOU SAY, then why make the money with a healthier solution than what past science has provided Humankind? Why not just make money along with Big Pharma and the pre-existing medical science solutions that YOU seem to think he owes us knowledge of? In fact, why not make his money selling illegal drugs like drug lords do? Surely that is good money, right?
In fact, why do you believe (clearly you do) that he should share all of his previous research in detailed analysis with us in order to offer us a better solution? Don't you think he ought to be considerate of our time and not waste it going over a mind numbing self-analysis of his discovery path of his NEW solution for us? Doesn't he have a right to keep some of his research confidential like all businesses do? Perhaps, he is saving our time by providing us with a succinct review of his discovery, and a good logical reason for providing it to a Humanity that sorely needs it.
And why can't he make money providing us with better health? It sure as hell beats the insane costs of life saving treatments and procedures the current Medical Establishment has held us hostage to. Making money for providing solutions is what all good businesses do. Why does that have to be demonized? He even talks about this sufficiently that we could learn how to use his solution without even buying his products, but he provides us his product just in case we want to maximize our results. I don't see anything wrong with that.
By the way, I have not tried any of this yet, but I am thinking I will because it sounds very reasonable and logical to do so, and I haven't heard one credible argument with any significant facts that demonstrate he is doing something wrong hear. I like what I hear when he talks about this health issue. I may not know all the medical terminology used in this science, but I definitely get the ideas involved, and they are sound reasonable arguments and explanations of what is happening.
I don't want to say anyone is wrong, or even that you are wrong. I'm just annoyed that people can easily, knee jerk, try to discredit someone, and discourage listeners, without providing any honest or clear facts on the matter of which they speak. Do that, and I will listen with honest interest in what you have to say. It is said, that there are two kinds of people in the world: People who talk about other People, and People who talk about Ideas. I can't stand the former, unless it is praising them for their good works.
I've studied nutrition for over 45 years and have only really followed 2 people, Jack LaLane and Gary Null as they live that life. Jack was doing finger tip pushups in his 90s and Gary is pushing 80 and is still in great shape. Has anyone seen Gundry in anything other then a suit? In 1986 I had the chance to sit down and talk with Jack , "one on one" for 15 minutes. He was the real deal. Every product that Gundry pushes, he tells you that his product is the best and the only one to buy, a very bad sign. Take off your shirt Stan !!!!!

I had the same problem but finally solved it by increasing my fiber intake. For breakfast I eat half a cup of wheat bran fiber in almond milk. (could substitute All Bran or dairy milk). Then a shake with two heaping tablespoons of whole psyllium seeds sweetened ( I use vanilla flavored almond milk). That does the trick.

2 ReactionsWhat are reviews like for thus product?
I had the same problem but finally solved it by increasing my fiber intake. For breakfast I eat half a cup of wheat bran fiber in almond milk. (could substitute All Bran or dairy milk). Then a shake with two heaping tablespoons of whole psyllium seeds sweetened ( I use vanilla flavored almond milk). That does the trick.
That should have WHOLE PSYLLIUM HUSKS not seeds
