Leaky gut?
Hello, I’m hoping to connect with others who may be able to Help with some answers with what I’m dealing with. I have fibromyalgia and am gluten intolerant. I also have eczema that has spread over different parts of my body. My dr prescribed a steroid to help with the eczema, however I am extremely itchy with a rash on arms
Legs torso. Dr thinks it’s all related but I’m not sure
I have had bouts with heart burn s d constipation/diarrhea. I’ve been reading up about leaky gut syndrome and think I have many of
The symptoms. Any tips as to how I can go about this would be appreciated. I’m in the ER now because of severe fatigue feeling faint s d shallow breathing.

I BELIEVE THAT HE'S A FRAUD AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS SUCH. NO WONDER, WHY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY IS TAKING A NOSE DIVE. TOO MANY SCAMMERS WHO HIDE BEHIND A DR TITLE. GUNDRY IS A PRIME EXAMPLE AND SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS, THE STANDARDS FOR THESE QUACKS LIKE GUNDRY ARE DEPLORABLE!!! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH PEOPLE.

4 ReactionsMy wife has been buying Dr Gundry's supplements for several years now and after looking at the ingredients on several of his products, I noticed that Maltodextrin was added. Maltodextrin is dangerous for your Gut Health. I wonder why Dr Gundry feels that Maltodextrin is an advantage for Gut Health?

1 ReactionWhat are the supplements they gave you.
Leaky gut is real. Dr. Gundy miracle cure is not. He and other Docs selling stuff on the internet are out to make lots of money . Thier products are not prescription drugs and they know they don't have to prove that they do.

4 ReactionsI am 70 years old. Something that worked for me after suffering with constipation for about 20 years is Dr Schultz Formula 1. His products are all natural and they work. Start with 1 at dinner, if you don't go the next morning, take 2 at dinner and so on till you go. Took me 3. Good luck and God Bless
Plant-based diet, avoiding nightshades (tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers).
Light breakfast (millet, quinoa, amaranth, etc.). Heaviest meal at lunch (avoid red meat... chicken, turkey, fish OK. Light dinner (soup). Finish dinner by 7 pm or so.
Bedtime by 10 pm, up by 6 am (before sunrise).
Dry figs soaked overnight, with breakfast or any other time. 2-3 pieces.
Homemade yogurt (it's easy), diluted with three parts water (lassi) and a bit of either good sugar (turbinado) if you are slim, or unheated honey if you are heavier. Have with lunch or after lunch. Not in the morning or at night. This is the best probiotic. Most probiotics in the market are useless as by they time they get to you the friendly bacteria had died. An exception is the Natren brand. Don't have straight yogurt, always dilute it with water.
Prebiotic foods: Okra, Asparagus Taro Root, Marshmallow Root, Slippery Elm, Arrowroot powder.
Cultured ghee for internal lubrication (havedadotcom). Best source of butyrate.
Flora Tone and Triphala from mapidotcom. 2-3 tablets of triphala half hour before bedtime gives a gentle laxative effect the next morning.
If you find an Ayurvedic practitioner in your area, inquire about education, experience, reputation, etc. and if it checks out have a consultation.

2 ReactionsHi. Obviously you can't stop eating tho anger and frustration can make us want to give up. Not eating is of course I give up and if you really did stop eating, well its suicidal. So my next question would be "Are you so beside yourself and feeling so gaslighted you are really ready to give up and leave?"
I think you would have said more, hope anyway.
I have the opposite issue. IBS with very frequent Diarrhea (4-12x/day for 40 years. For real.)
So I have taken triphala as mentioned elsewhere. It can help constipation/ obstipation but also can help regulate your stools. Either way I found. Don't poo-poo herbs bur do your own research. No overnight cure people who advertise on tv, youtube or esp FB. Lets face it, its not to keep prices low - its to avoid the FDA.
And ill just say, kind of funny but very very true (others?) The minute I walk into a thrift store I need to go. Same with a library. Something about old books it seems to me. Maybe its an allergy to old book mites? Ot just is? Like noticably not related to eating. 15 minutes after eating is always an issue. I know where every BR in town is. Believe me, It's an issue.
Like you, nobody has ever offered me good treatment I guess because I'm not thin since an anti-cancer drug (megace) they gave me before my hyst. Another story tho.
One more off thing is a cod liver oil pack on your belly. Its really very good for pain, etc (an old treatment but actually became an old wives tale because it works. Read about it and you can buy a cod liver oil pack on amazon to keep things less messy. On an abdomen with a heating pad is less messy than a hip. Worth researching for any number of issues. I would sound insane if I were to tell you how many things its really really helped. But I did avoid knee surgery! Be
I know this is an old post but is still an issue for many.
Try Benefiber in any form: powder, chewables or gummies to stop chronic diarrhea. It works.

1 ReactionLook up the Asian squat on YouTube. Really helps me when i have constipation. I also take at least 400mg magnesium. Let us know how you get on. All my best.
I’ve been diagnosed with GERD, IBS-M, and Leaky Gut. I’m also dairy and shell fish intolerant. I prefer natural treatments before prescriptions. My Doctor and I have been working on me for sometime now. Two years ago she suggested Dr Gundry’s Lectin Free Diet. I’m not going to flower it as it’s a hard diet to be true to! Especially if there are other food issues to add to the mix. I never ordered his supplements as I felt that’s foolish if I’m eating healthy. It took along time to get my head around this way of eating. It gave me back hope and a social life again. I don’t feel he’s a scam but maybe pushing supplements is his profits. I did purchase his book and a great book noon
