Your channel is a gold mine. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been having issues for about 10 months, went to a gastroenterologist. Got some relief, for which I am grateful, but I am not even close to being the way I was before. I would think about all the things there are to know about gut, as I realized I will have to be my own doctor. Jokingly I would say, well there is a profession in this wishing there was a proper practitioner actually specializing in gut health (like what gastroenterologists are supposed to be)! Well there is, and you are it. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You are giving me a lot of plausible, hopeful and clear courses of action.
So interesting and informative. Many thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Todd Byron, ? How much ginger would you say is good for bad constipation atleast 3000mg? For a few weeks. Is broomilen from pineapple any good? And as far as senna goes that's what I've used the most over more than a yr, as I felt to backed up. But you are not the only one I've heard say no to Senna. Why is that? So I'm not going to use it anymore. I will try turkey tail. You are awesome, you explain things so that others can really understand! 😊 I appreciate that.
Thank you. This was really useful. Can you please make a video about Gastritis?
Sure thing!
Very informative. Thank you.
You are welcome! 🙏
Such an EXCELLENT video thanks very much GOD BLESS YOU 🙏💐
You are very welcome
Hello, thank again for your videos. Just one question, for methan sibo what would be the best way to eat flax seeds? milled ground up and put them on water for many hours and drink? or soak the flax seeds and drink only the water?
Wonderful very informative video❤
Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful
Thank you for sharing your knowledge here on UA-cam! Do you have any recommended herbs for Encopresis?
So glad it’s helpful. Unfortunately no suggestions there
Video loved it. I constipation is out of control with methane Cibo. Tried all kinds of herbs. Need help will you please work with me I’m in California I’m desperate.
Thank you. Burdock and Dandelion have helped me so much. Great to understand more about why they are helpful.
They’re fantastic herbs! Very safe generally and effective too
Im glycerine laxative dependent even on smoothie diet. I haven’t tried burdock, how much does it take to help you?
@@ByronHerbalistdandelion doesn’t work for me i feel like it makes my constipation worse i feel very dehydrated anything else u can recommend very slow transit time like 3 or 4 days?
If you can tolerate gluten free rolled oats and chia seeds I'd highly recommend 5g of chia seeds in overnight oats 80g with blueberries added before eating. That will give you an excellent movement.
Such an excellent video. I was just diagnosed with methane sibo and I’m looking for a natural way to cure it since I have an extremely sensitive stomach. The constipation is absolutely horrible and I’m guessing is the cause of most horrible symptoms I have.
Did u find any relief.?
Hypothetically speaking, if a patient had no gall bladder, daily stools but not completely emptying, hard time losing weight despite eating healthy, solid stools but not those bulky ones, strongly suspecting h2s sibo AND methane sibo, what might be a good combo? Thinking phgg, dandelion and or burdock for gallbladder, turkey rhubarb to start it all off, oregano oil capsules to combat both types of sibo, atrantil for methane (maybe some allimax when it comes back in stock), lots of ginger for motility, g. artichoke for gallbladder and some walking?
I was hoping you would talk about triphala. Do you have any opinion on it?
I have seen great benefit in some, less so in others. At the moment not a part of my dispensary but that may change!
Very interesting video. I was wondering if you could recommend some lactulose-insoluble fiber products because I'm searching on the internet and I can't seem to find one. Thx
Hmm I haven’t come across this as a combo product yet. Lactulose on its own is widely available here in Australia
I love this video and I keep referring back to this one. Thank you so much! 2 years ago I worked with an herbalist who wasn’t interested in discovering/treating any underlying overgrowths but I learned a ton from him. He put me on very low dose chinese rhubarb reum palmatum which helped my BMs and greatly helped my sleep until it didn’t. I was on it probably 1 - 2 months(?) before it stopped working. Turkey Rhubarb is very intriguing to me and I want to take it again but I have a question.
Question: Now that I understand that turkey rhubarb is in the same category as Senna and should be short term and get off asap, how long is it safe to take but also effective?
Good question! That varies from patient to patient. I would look to get the foundations in place and transition as quickly as possible, sometimes that is 2 weeks, other times that’s 2 months
Would you recommend that a person with constipation not eat dry foods like crackers, and more hydrating vegetables? I think a part of me being dry (the pellets poop 💩) is because I like dry foods like almond crackers, nuts, and clean healthy muffins ect.
Thank you for this. I’m wondering about the dosages. Knowing what to use but not how much is very confusing :)
That's a tricky one as it ranges from patient to patient. I'll include some ranges of herbs I'll use in future videos but it's always a guideline not a recommendation :-)
@@ByronHerbalist Thank you. That will be super helpful :)
I have IMO and PN both painful 😭 thanks for the information Todd. Richmond, VA
Very welcome!
It must be a VA thing. I can’t get any help. On GI #4. Lost 100lbs. No one cares. I’m thinking of ending it all. I can eat 1 slice of bread a day. I tried to get help for my now low mag and potassium. All they told me to do is eat more veggies. I went to them because I can’t eat. Guess they didn’t get the message since they wouldn’t even weigh me.
LOL, VA here too, with constant gas, bloating and belching. Nothing helps.@@michellehopelamb5353
Hello, thank you for your videos so useful. Why not senna (cassia angustifolia vahl)?, i am using it, it helps me but if you dont recommend, maybe it is not good.
Senna is a potent cathartic/stimulating laxative. My concern would mainly be around the development of a lazy bowel over time. Short term it can help but long term we can to bring in gentler approaches instead
Which ones of these are low to no oxalate? Some of these are known to be high oxalate and some of us cannot tolerate those. Thanks in advance!
Where can I find turkey rhubarb in the USA? What form of rhubarb and dosage do you recommend? Is it the root or the stalk and do you usually use capsules or the common rhubarb plant?
Just started the dandelion root because I had to give up coffee due to histamine intolerance & I just love it! Thanks so much for mentioning this because I had no idea it existed & it's keeping me going on my health journey after mourning the loss of my favourite drink.
what has it done for you? Thats on my list to try.
@@-Ry-Guy It satisfies my desire for a hot drink with some bitterness the same way coffee does without causing me any gripey gut over reactions that coffee can have. I have a hyper sensitive system & histamine intolerance & limiting coffee has been a major struggle because it's on my list of top favourite things so giving it up is really hard. 😮💨 I can't say it's helped me directly with the issue being discussed here but it's early days.
@@criticalmass5402 10-4 i cut out caffeine 2 years ago. it was rough at first but i found that b vitamins is a much better such of energy.
Does coffee have histamine? I find I'm having a huge bloat after coffee but trying to figure out if it's the acid or the caffeine
There are several problems with coffee for histamine intolerance - it can be the fermented beans, mould, or the caffeine that are the culprits, or directly sensitivity to the histamine coffee contains. A lot of histamine intolerants are hyper sensitive to coffee. Some can tolerate occasional cups of decaf. I switched to Dandelion root & now I love it. I can manage an occasional low caffeine real coffee when not in a flair@@jenniferharper7283
Thanks for the video again! I was just rewatching it. I was wondering, how safe is lactulose? For how long can you take it? I took it once for a sibo breath test and it worked really well. And I learned recently it does not cause laxative dependence. You use it in foundations group, so I take it it is pretty safe to take over a longer period of time? Thanks!
If it’s tolerated lactulose is safe long term at 1-2 tablespoons or lower for the right patient. Very helpful for some!
@@ByronHerbalist Thank you so much for the answer! It is very helpful.
Wish you were here in the USA.
Question. I bought some ACV gummys and they have clove bud in them.
Is clove bud ok for the gut?
Clove bud is fantastic for the gut! What a potent combo
Hey Doc, what if your case is so severe that Senna is the only thing that seems to do anything. I've literally been using 1-2 caps of restorolax a day, and NOTHING. Feels like my large int. is 100% in hibernation unless I take Senna or manually slap myself around or use a "Subpac" (subwoofer backpack for audio production) to literally wake it up with sonic waves lol. Severe methane SIBO suspected, an ungodly gas to food ratio which can produce gas for 12-16 hours after a single mistake snack. Doctors baffled, nothing on blood tests / x-rays, FODMAPS and carbs destroy me. A few nights ago I literally hit 100% capacity and could no longer hydrate myself as my stomach couldn't empty due to the backup (while I had been on almost on a complete liquid diet for days). Had to go to the ER and get a horrific enema that felt like I got run over by a steamroller repeatedly, which was legitimately traumatizing, I was 100% convinced that it was going to be all blood coming out of me and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't see any BUT it feels like it totally cut up my... exit, so now I am terrified to even have a movement 😢. Anything I can get OTC to heal as much as possible / prevent further injury before?
How are you right now?
What is the best way to use ginger for Methane SIBO - powdered/fresh, amounts?
Can I use acacia Senegal prebiotic fiber? I already have it. In place of PHGG?
I do Not know about cinnamon
I have hydrogen SIBO with severe constipation. I have been dealing with histamine issues for six years with severe eczema, which is presenting better. Now that is a probiotic and also use small amounts of L glutamine with marshmallow and licorice root. I need some help here if you could possibly recommend anything to help heal my gut. This has been the worst six years of my life. Please help me.
Glad you’ve found support. I wouldn’t be able to give any health advice but treating the root cause (SIBO) and the presenting symptoms (constipation and suspected slow transit) would be my general treatment aims. It would vary greatly from one patient to another
I love your content brother! I have subscribed!
The herb Ginger do you consume it raw or make tea out of it?
And for the other herbs, is the pill forms ok? Or should i consume them in raw plant form?
Thank you and god bless you!
😊🙌❤️🧠👁️🌿
Appreciate you! Love the energy. Teas if you can tolerate the taste, encapsulated if not 👍 😊
@@ByronHerbalist i just consumed 1 spoon full of raw turkey rhubarb and 1 spoon full of raw burdock. I just had the worst experience in my life. Hyperventilation, vomiting, bone frame pains and as close to dying as you can. Took to much!!!🤢
@@houserv__ hmmm..that definitely sounds like too much in one go. Always wise to start low and go slow, one at a time if you are extra sensitive!
Calamus? Carminative herb
I tried PHGG before but at the full dose and it worsened my constipation. How exactly should one “build up” to the full recommended dose? Like start with 1/4 teaspoon a day? Seems promising based on the research but I just had a bad experience.
Low and slow as tolerated. It varies depending on the patient but starting with 1/4 tsp is a good start
@@ByronHerbalist Awesome, I'll give it another shot starting with 1/4 tsp. Thank you!
What about triphala? I thought it’d qualify for the last group of all-in-one herbs
I like tripahala but it hasn't quite made it into my dispensary yet
@@ByronHerbalist I read it supports gut motility, improves digestion, regulates BMs and more
Dr Nicole Dinezza had issues with PHGG? You haven't seen any issues clinically?
Like with anything you have to pick the patient and dose but I find PHGG is incredibly well tolerated and helpful in most. I have a different approach compared to this practitioner frequently.
@@ByronHerbalist Understood. I am in the US. are natural/holistic/functional Dr's like you engrained into the health system in Australia? I saw something about insurance issues? In the US functional Drs seem to not need to have insurance because there are no medications prescribed, I'd love to work with you if possible. I am basically a jr herbalist/ND I just need help on the last piece the gut... I went from thinking i was going to die on 1 hour a sleep to thriving. (no help to the traditional medicine world) LOL!
I'm researching on behalf of my old dog. I wish she could just talk, and tell me what's going on with her. I have to guess. After all, she is already more than a year past her life expectancy. Some people say more than 3 years past. I've been cleaning up her liver with dandelion, milk thistle and yellow dock root every now and then for a few years now nowadays she's just sluggish and decrepit, and I'm lost.
Great video. I have been adding cumin to things like hummus and baba ganoush. I live off of ginger but too much of it, including too much dandelion root tincture can cause reflux rather than helping to move things downward and onward. Just bought the dandelion root "coffee" and am excited to try it. I have regular dandelion tea and bitters that contain it so not sure it's the dandelion in the tincture blend that causes the reflux. I do a cold infusion of marshmallow which is great for general hydration and is soothing. The naturopath I am working with suggested PHGG/Sunfiber and I am looking forward to trying it. I do a couple tsps of freshly ground flaxseeds a day but was a bit concerned to learn about phytic acid. Would you please consider doing a video on triphala if that's something you use. Seems quite miraculous. Haven't tried it yet but I plan to!
Great approach! A handful of my patients find triphala to be helpful for gut motility and regular bowel movements but it isn’t part of my dispensary yet for some reason.
@@ByronHerbalist Hi. Thank you. The more I read about it, the more amazing and powerful it sounds. I feel like there are only so many things I can ingest at one time and I'm already doing a fairly intense TCM protocol for hormonal balance but digestion is my biggest daily issue. Possibly SIBO or just slow motility. I don't know yet
but in either case triphala sounds like it will be very helpful!
Is Phytic acid a concern with 1 T. fresh ground flax seeds ?
Curious if Byron has any experience with Bike salts such as Tudca ?
I realize its not an herb but curious his thots just the same 😉😘
What's yr opinion on coffee enemas ? Is it a fab or fiction ?
This can be so helpful in some. I'm concerned around all the caffeine in the system and phase 1 detox up-regulation here but if it helps and is tolerated then possibly
It works
Just to say as a possible red flag for others that I tried the turkey rhubarb & had a sudden major histamine/allergic reaction. Not full on anaphylactic but pretty scary close. I then read up on it & found that rhubarb is high on the list of allergens & is also a no-no for anyone sensitive to oxalates. I'm taking a lot more caution now in adding new herbs but sadly can't get a GP & no decent nutritionists anywhere near to help advise so I'm on my own.
Hmm that is an unusual reaction but people vary in their tolerance to different herbs. Going low and slow and working with a good herbalist is a must if possible!
@@ByronHerbalist Anytime you want to move to the highlands of Scotland I'll be your first client 😇 Otherwise I'm on my own I'm afraid.
