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.

Thank God for you, Jake. Naive me thought maybe maybe . .. I'm in my 80s and thought maybe I should give up tomatoes etc!!! Lucien

I agree about Gundry. I won’t qualify him by using the word doctor.

Could Dr. Gundry be a scammer but "leaky gut" a reality?

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 🙁

Have you tried OTC extra strength Prunelax? It’s my “go-to”.when I get desperate. Works every time. How about a daily combination of senna-cot tabs and Colace to keep things constantly moving?

It’s so hard not to strain a bit when nothing wants to move.
I’ve also heard that it can “undo” which really scares me. I’m 71 and don’t want another surgery. 😕

Did you have laparoscopic surgery or open surgery? Did they use a mesh for you? Any dissection?
Laparoscopic for me. No mesh no dissection.
Sutures to the ligaments on my back. I hope they hold…

Where did you have it done? Stanford in California for me.
