Don't underestimate stress folks. Many people think stress is this invisible ethereal thing, but its really there. Anxious people tend to have gut issues- solve the underlying issue , which is most often related to stress. Somethings you've been ignoring, or avoiding. Either you have adhd issues and you're carrying too much weight, or you don't talk your problems out. Or , most commonly watching movies or media that bring darkness, sadness, depression or anxiety into your life. More than eliminating bread, try eliminating negative media of all kinds. Music that is too violent or loud? change it to soft and calming music. Happy movies, not sad. Talk with friends about positive things, nature is your friend, get some sun and walk. Fix whatever is causing your anxiety and your gut will follow- it is your second brain after all. ( obviously don't ignore your dietary needs and supplements)

went to a functional medicine doctor a few months ago and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for my health!. My husband is going now as well. No more conventional medicine for us. Unless I break my arm I won’t be going back. So tired of being lied to! Our FM do highly suggests we listen to Dr Hyman as well.

It took me 17 different doctors over 31 years, but I am finally doing much better for over a year now. I had IBS-D. I am much less nervous to leave my house now & do certain activities that I could not do for 31 years.

I read a comment on another video where the poster said he started doing two tablespoons of virgin olive oil in the morning on an empty stomach and in three days the major symptoms disappeared- I tried it and it worked for me- no diet modification or meds etc. It may be worth a try for you as well

Thank you for your videos. They are so informative. I have learned a lot from you!!

Thank you for this important information. I am taking a proactive role in getting a handle on this myself.

I need a doctor like you. Good doctors are hard to find. Thank you for this very informative and detailed video.

Sir, your talks on health issues provides valuable information. Thanks. However, I shall request a rather slower and clearer delivery of words for the benefit of many who are sure to immensely benefit from such good scientific discussions. Thanks again

i had a doc years ago tell me he could only prescribe meds, but did not know how to cure it .. he said trial and error with food might be worth my time . he did me a huge favor with that advice. fortunately now, we have Many DOCTORS now that are on cutting edge of healing. KEEP LEarning.

excellent videos TY!!!!! Jord

Thanks!

Is there a reason why functional medicine doctors don't usually accept insurance? I would love to find one but paying out of pocket is just too much, and my plan does not reimburse for out of network providers. I'm so unhappy with the usual care that's out there

THANKS AGAIN!

Thank you so much Dr!! I have been binge-watching all your podcast on ibs-d , sibo etc... Also your interview with dr. Mark Pimentel and his videos. Following your suggestions for just a few days, and I already feel massively better!!

Intesteringly enough I had an IBS flare up and I went to a gastroenterologist who prescribed a drug for constipation which sent my gut over the edge. ( I also have celiac and have followed a gluten free diet for many years.) I finally quit taking the drug when I looked like I was 8 months pregnant and went to the health food store where I got supplements for gut renewal. Between watching your videos, following the IBS diet and taking the correct supplements my gut is healing. Thanks to you and I hope my story helps someone else.

I am a YA (young Adult) male as Ihave had IBS-D since I was ten. It comes on and off, sometimes (rarely) have had urgent incontinence, hence urgent accidents -- even in public spaces! VERY embarrassing (and expensive on the laundry bill!

Too difficult to get better without the help of a great doctor like you. Do you do video-visits?

Thank you

my gosh sooo much to try to figure out so frustrating :(

Which functional Dr in New York City would you recommend. I was seeing a functional doctor for 37 years, Dr Heyer, he died about 1-1/2 ago and I feel lost. 😢. I’m 76 years old and have developed a few issues, I’m desperately searching for a good functional Dr. Please advise 😊

You are my light in the storm…I live in Blue Ridge Ga….can you recommend a good functional med Dr? I’m so sick in my gut and have burning mouth for two years, which no one has helped me with. I hope you are well. Thks bon

Dr. Hyman, a written list of all the testing would be ideal. A comprehensive list of tests to rule out all the major diseases and syndromes, and then the more detailed tests you mentioned. I would love to have something to approach a GI doctor with, so we don’t omit anything. Thank you.

Important information.. you doing great work.. Thank you. but audio quality is not good.. also presention of info is not viewer friendly.. specialy treatment part could have been presented and explained better.. if possible please provide information with visuals notes, points etc. Thank you.

Hello, @MarkHymanMD how do I contact you for a consultation?

Really excellent information and great news for those who suffer from this. The best thing is no pills are needed.

You just mentioned fibromyalgia and I recently got diagnosed with it with a lot of pain and issues and not sleeping 😔 I ordered your gutfood today. Any other advice please?

Can u share any way of contacting?

You have my sub good doctor! It pains that i have to go to the internet to get an actual treatment and noy just be put on symptom suppressing pills. God bless you!

@dwolfe2907 U HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!! I replied to ur comment on stress. Bertha Davis

Does sugar alcohol cause stomach tissue damage?😊

I love how you find everything hilarious. 🤣

I m from india and I want to contact Dr. Hyman

Dr Mark, do you have a list of Functional medicine doctors in the US? I'm having a problem finding one in my city/town. thanks.

I have had c diff twice and have taken vancomycin to get rid of it. I thought I had IBS now, but stool test says C diff. They gave me ceftin and I think that gave to me again. Im getting so so sick. What do you tell your patients with this dilemma. The vancomycin makes me so sick.

I have been deteriorating badly in the last 6 months, since I had a severe dry cough. Nothing that has helped previously is having any effect and I've been to hospital numerous times, my Functional Medicine Doctor and Gastroenterologist have both given up. They have no idea what is happening. I've had Faecal Transplants previously and they have helped, but in the last 6 months they have actually made it worse. In the last 2 months it has actually spread up into my mouth and throat. It started with what seemed like a slimey biofilm. Perhaps from candida, as I'd had oral thrush. Then a fizzy type gas started building up on the whole surface of my mouth, which felt like my skin inside my mouth and throat were fermenting. This has gradually spread and has has now broken down the whole lining of my mouth and throat, to the point where it is literally just a porous spongy tissue left. The lining is completely broken down. I feels the same all the way through my whole digestive tract. Doctors are just assuming that I am crazy when I explain this. But, it is unfortunately, all too real. I just got a stool test back. My bifido bacteria were a bit low, butyrate was also a bit low. But, Calprotecton was 117 and funnily enough, my akkermansia muciniphila was the highest level possible. Which is supposed to be good for the digestive lining. But, anyway, I am at a point of complete despair. Doctors are just passing me onto another doctor or suggesting mental illness. No idea what to do next.

Please cover starvation ketoacidosis/ treatment

What about recurrent SIBO? Is this related to a damage in the nervous system?

I have had moderate to severe IBS-C for several years. Three months ago I had the worst attack with IBS and rectal bleeding for 4 days, along with free-flowing acid to throat and mouth if I bent over to pick something up and lasted for three weeks and improved after watching your videos and other doctors. I am 5'5" and down to 103 lbs and weak. The silent reflux has taken my normal voice as if I have laryngitis. Will see an ENT Oct 4th, and hopefully he won't put me on medications. How about moving to SC and be my doctor! Thank you for this video and other of your videos! Sandy

Can also cause panic attacks!!

Hopefully these comments actually mean something.. I have acid reflux in a bad way, I feel everything mentioned I follow and just tried giving up coffee, which I really didn't have much of any way but no help. What is weird, is I heard he DR. mention bacteria... I have had toenail issues lately (both my big toes under the nailbeds just turn to powder and nothing is working for treatment. I just wonder if these are signs of something or have something to do with the reflux.

Can you suggest a good Funtional doctor in Southeast Georgia? I'm tired of these traditional doctors. They always prescribe antibiotics.

Giving up gluten, whole foods and low carb diet cured my crippling IBS

Listening to this great doctor I realize that we are going to doctors that are too mediocre. I have been suffering from this problem for years, it is very difficult to feel like this on a daily basis. I have asked two different doctors for something as simple as a stool analysis and in both cases they have refused, saying that it is something that is not necessary. They have never done a study on me for anything, they have preferred to do endoscopies and colonoscopies than a simple stool examination. In a single video I was able to confirm my suspicions, they are a joke. Thank you, doctor Hyman!

You are great! This is my problem: where do I find a doctor who knows as much as you do about IBS? I went to a gastroenterologist, he gave me a sheet with the Fodmap diet and he told me to go back in a year. Nonsense!

I live in Colorado. The doctors here are not great. Do you offer remote treatment?

I’ve been having awful IBS symptoms for years and they are getting worse now that I’m having acid reflux daily and my flairs seem to happen during ovulation time could be hormonal IBS? How can I fix this it’s ruining my life

I've kind of disregarded you for a while because you're a little too plant-based and seemed to not think highly of red meat, that said, I believe you have a lot of good information besides that. Keep up the good work. I will be watching., a lot of time say things like small amounts of red meat are OK. I'm kind of paraphrasing that, but I think you agree with what I'm saying. What's wrong with larger servings of red meat? I'd like to know your opinion and the reasons you think that way. Keep up the good work.

I'm practically dying from this. I've changed my entire diet just from listening to your vids on utube. And sometimes my ibs is just out of control. I have no faith in traditional Doctors, I feel they are incompetent in so many ways. That sounds mean because it is. Why are our insurance companies paying these white coats who give no relief?

i had 2 stool tests done from to different clinics both found nothing , 1 tissue biopsy because i had 2 small ulcers and that test was good .so for me ibs started out as acid reflux but then over time i got mild cnstipation , brain fog and thyroid issues and still no doctor ive seen can tell me WTH is going on

I took vitb1 n magnesium high dose and stopped all carbs wollaaaa ibs gone in 2 weeks

Can IBS cause urinary infection, interstitial cystitis, prostatitis?

All I eat is crackers and salads and I’m still sick daily but I’ll never eat again because I need to make it through work day

I'm on state assistance. I was diagnosed with h pylori by a student doctor who was about to graduate. During our third visit, my primary physician literally bitched him out for testing me. She refuses to retest me and continue a treatment plan. What should I do?

Please, where can I come see you or get all of these tests done? I’ve been on many diets, thousands of supplements (they always work at first then completely stop) and I’ve told my doctor about all my symptoms and he is clueless. Constant bloating and constipation, abdominal pain, inflamed colon (tmi) severe anxiety and fatigue, severe brain fog, memory loss the last few years, highly stressed all the time, EXTREME insomnia, and I eat healthy! I take pro biotics, every vitamin out there (and all natural stuff with the least amount of additives possible) I spend hundreds ever money, and I work out. Nothing makes sense… please help if you can.

It would be helpful if you would try to not do little laughs throughout your presentation. Sometimes it makes the words hard to hear. You give really good helpful information!

Can you recommend a good functional medicine doctor in Northern Virginia or around Washington, DC?

What was the Gutfood you created?

I got mine from two heavy antibiotic doses back to back followed by yogurt with no live cultures.

Can you please refer someone in Orange County calif ? I have spent thousands on say they are like you and Funcional medicine doctor and they don’t. They charge a lot and I learn more from you and Dr Hagmeyer on here then with them. I have lupus , but my gut has been bad forever and now worse which I believe it’s the Constipation sibo and inflammatory bowel disease. My inflammation is bad. I did a stool test. That’s about all they did for me. But I have treated natural my whole life and always healed but this way more and weightloss my body is literally starving to death and I’m 90 pounds at 5.7 and skin and bones but my gut is out a foot like a pregnant woman and then I got edema in both legs that were ten times bigger then mine. I could not believe it. The pain is so bad all over and I can’t believe how hard it is in California to find a doctor who heals the gut like you. I don’t know if I should just call your office. I’m doing a documentary on this and I want to live to finish it and have my happy ending after all of this. I’m almost completely disabled now because of the edema and the vascular doctor says it’s because I’m protein deficiency. Please refer someone here ? Please Dr Mark. I have a sick dog too and my fiancé died 2 years ago of Lukemia and he was only 35. We all 3 had years of mold and toxic exposure which in the end there was a fire. I just want someone here to tell me what to do. I know I have to be disciplined with treatments because I know the body can heal but when your this sick and desperate to live and save your dog too, I don’t have family or people to help me close. But these doctors have taken advantage of my desperate situation and I pay all this money and I don’t even have a plan. So I need a referral of someone here in Irvine calif or OC that you stand behind who they are. Thank you and God Bless

Can IBS form without the crappy diet? Mine came out of nowhere it seems and I have eaten a pretty healthy diet most of my life. Suddenly I couldn’t tolerate many vegetables anymore and even steak. It is hard for me to have a healthy diet when my body turned on me. Any advice on where to start healing my gut??

Where you located at

What do you think of taking coconut oil capsules for the gut?

👍🏼

IBS or SIBO? 80% of patients with IBS were diagnosed with SIBO.

So unhelpful basically he named all these tests THEY do, i cant do these tests unless i pay you alot of money out of pocket.

So everyone knows, THERE ARE FAKE DR HYMANS ON UTUBE AND INSTAGRAM BEWARE... OBVIOUSLY THIS ISNT BUT THERE ARE FAKE ONES I WAS STUPID THINKING WOW HE ACTUALLY ANSWERED ME. NO HE DIDNT SOME OTHER PERSON WAS PRETENDING, SOME SIK LONLEY, GAME OF I HAVE NO LIFE

@5:48 why do you recommend people "get off" of eggs? I thought you promoted them??

Chinese food is bad like rice noodles and fry chichen with lots of salt
