@tabithatwitch, @baz, and all...I'm so sorry you folks are having such a tough time with this. I've suffered from IBD, diarrhea for most of my adult life, often very difficult to control, and then constipation for the last several years. A doctor at Mayo helped me tremendously when he diagnosed a leaky gut which is actually a legitimate problem. He referred me to Probulin, an excellent probiotic I buy online from Research Verified. This has changed my life! I was taking an over-the-counter probiotic but this is miraculous. I take one capsule nightly and no longer have the constant issues I did for decades.
I will tell you I bought Dr. Gundry's biome supplements and take them now. I've had good results. I'm not sure if I'll reorder, but probably not as I think the Probulin is truly excellent and doing the job I need. I also take a UTI supplement from Research Verified as I was having 3-5 UTIs every year, one with sepsis, and all quite difficult to treat. I began having problems with antibiotics due to this constant use and was even prescribed antibiotics prophylactically. I now handle the antibiotic issue with my own solution...at the first sign of diarrhea, I take a Lamotil and begin taking a 2nd Probulin in the morning, 2 daily as long as I take antibiotics. This enables me to take the necessary medications and the added supplement for UTIs works wonders as well. I've only had one this year! That's a record.
I hope some of this may help someone as you go through this crazy health journey. Blessings, elizabeth
Gundry in my and many others opinion uses deceit and half-truths to promote his many products. Some people in the world eat lots of his forbidden foods yet live the longest and are some of the healthiest and happiest, of course he denies this.
Lectin-containing foods like legumes, whole grains, and nuts are associated with lower rates of cardiovascular disease, weight loss, and type 2 diabetes proven by many studies yet Gundry says the opposite.

Leaky gut is real. That is when toxins, bad bacteria, etc. get leaked into our system via the digestive tract and cause disruption giving us symptoms that we then have to deal with. I was diagnosed with SIBO, a fungus and a yeast, gluten intolerant as the cause of my digestive issues, fatigue, not sleeping well. My doctor prescribed a number of supplements and botanicals to help heal my digestive tract along with changes in my diet. And my symptoms are dramatically reduced.
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 🙁
You may try these Mini enimas called enemeez or even a suposotory called the magig bullet.
They are what people with spinal cord injurys use and are small and easy to use etc.
@millerdust most of these long winded e-commercials and articles are click baits at best, cash grabs at worst. Watching those videos is a total waste of time - and money, if you get roped into buying the products, too. The only person who benefits from them is the “doctor” or “nutritionist”.
@notmoff leaky gut is real, but it is diagnosed by your doctor or specialist. You can’t assume you have a condition just because a TV “doctor” or “specialist” says you have it - without an exam, at that. Most of these commercials are cash grabs. Only your own doctor can make the correct diagnosis and recommend the correct treatment.

5 ReactionsIntestinal permeability can occur as a result of some gut diseases, but the leaky gut they're selling is not that.
