Lactobacillus probiotics grow well in the gut and do a good job of displacing bad bacteria, helping to create a more balanced microbiome. This can be very helpful to someone who is dysbiotic. Prebiotics will feed both good and bad bacteria. It is helpful to have some probiotics in place, whether regular or soil bacteria ones, in order to "patrol" the gut while you are changing your diet and increasing prebiotics. Perhaps, when your gut is healthy, then lactobacillus probiotics can be removed.
@@godpodclub have you actually listened to Guy's podcasts? He carefully unpacks that exact subject. The over prevelance of Lacto is not good for most and especially dysbiotic gut.
I highly recommend you watch my videos and educate yourself. All of my videos are highly referenced. Is anyone else doing that? How is it that I keep fixing people from around the globe who have been to see 10+ other practitioners to no avail? Why is it that these people constantly tell me that taking probiotics or fermented foods made no difference, or often times made them worse. In the video, Hakan was one of many people who had a bad experience from fermented foods. And he was HEALTHY prior to overindulging, unlike so many others who are unwell and using probiotics and fermented foods to try to correct a dysbiotic microbiome. Follow the science and logic, not marketing. If the companies could sell F prausnitzii, E rectale, R bromii and other species from Coprococcus, Anaerostipes, Roseburia and so forth, you'd NEVER hear of Lactobacillus again.
@@givemethejob3293 I have definitely listened to most of his podcasts and I understand the point that lactobacillus probiotics can create an environment that is difficult for the native bacteria. I am not recommending them permanently. I am saying that it can be difficult to overcome dysbiosis with just dietary changes. Many people will need a stronger intervention such as a probiotic to reduce and hold down the pathogenic bacteria while they change their diet. Some people with Crohn's may never be able to reduce their soil probiotic (which I believe does not change the ph as the lactobacillus does). When is Guy going to talk about soil probiotics? Long overdue.
We are in complete agreement that for those who are struggling, dietary changes are not enough. I say this often. We need to drive significant environmental change in the microbiome quickly, and obviously for the better. There are times that people respond well to probiotics, at least temporarily. But why not choose a more intelligent approach which feeds the proven health-promotors, an approach which works most of the time. My success rate is astonishing, and this is usually with the sickest among us who have been to see various other practitioners for years, to no avail. If the companies that sell probiotics could actually sell you the true health-promotors like F prausnitzii, E rectale, and species from Roseburia, Coprococcus etc - then we wouldn't even be having this conversation. You'd never hear another word on L reuteri. There is NO comparison. They just can't sell them because these bugs won't survive even a few minutes. So we FEED them the fuels they love, but we have to do it intelligently.
@@TheMicrobiomeExpert Where are the references for this video? I somehow missed them on this video. These are rather bold claims that excess prevalence of Lactobacillus bacteria can trigger autoimmunity. What is your backing for that?
My suspicion is that the reason Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus strains are high in people with IBS is that people with IBS are very likely to take a probiotic. This would fit well with the research showing supplementation of those can help manage IBS symptoms. It may very well be the case that those strains are beneficial and can improve symptoms, while also being the case that if you actually want to cure your dysbiosis you need to increase strains like F. prau and reduce the pathogenic overgrowth ones.
I consider myself lactose intolerant due to my reaction with lactose products , except fermented lacto products seem to agree with my better than anything I’ve ever used for my gut. Hasn’t triggered any issues so far, has provided numerous benefits other than gut calming, and has gotten me more intrigued about micro biome support. My experience is the exact opposite of what is stated here. How can that be?
The lactose has been fermented away (lactose intolerance). You're unlikely to hear me speak in certainties. As I say in one of my videos, "probiotics do help some of the people some of the time, but don't you want something which helps most of the people most of the time?" Also, sometime these things only help temporarily (low FODMAPs, fermented food, probiotics). So keep that in mind too. I'm offering up a more intelligent approach based on the data. Keep watching the videos and you'll begin to understand the philosophy. I know it's dense material and what I say is a bit different. But I have over 1,000 references built into my videos, and you can view my testimonials of some of those whom I have helped.
I've noticed the same with reactions from histamine type headache to stubborn constipation after eating something like yogurt or kefir. I still eat them sometimes because they are delicious but this guy explains the reason for my symptoms.
Hmm. "more often than not", yea, might be. But when i/we test the actual bacillus count via stool sample, we know exactly what we need/don't need. There are many dysfunctional stages in which we actually need lactobacillus, and it makes sense to supplement it specifically via probiotics which contain specific bacteria strains. To make things even more complex: Problems caused by Fermented food can arise by OTHER bacteria strains, other than lactobacillus, as fermented food contain a wild variety.
yes but fermented foods contain lactate. You don't want lactate in a dysbiotic gut. I just released a new video on this topic with more data points than you can imagine. Take a look.
Is vinegar safer? I think it has acetic acid, not latic acid. For me this is important as vinegar helps me to have better digestions. I usually make sure it is pausterized
yes, vinegar is acetic acid, which is just two carbons and can be used by many bacteria or simply quickly absorbed in the small intestine. But we should also ask ourselves, "why do I need it"?
@TheMicrobiomeExpert Ok! Thank you for the explanation! I know I have difficult digestions because I am dysbiotic and the most important thing is to resolve this. But I find vinegar helpful meanwhile. I just wanted to know if it could also cause problems. But al least it seems not as problematic as yogurt for example
Interesting! I grew up consuming kefir, fermented pickles etc. and I have no problem with unpasteurized apple vinegar (digestion), but I can not (literally) digest store bought pasteurized vinegar. I understand fermented food can be an issue for people with Crohn's and other autoimmune diseases, and there are possible more beneficial bacteria, but why confuse people who do benefit from healthy food?
@candelavidal3920 Same here ! What kind of vinegar are you using? I use balsamic vinegar. Strangely Apple cider vinegar is not working good in my case....
If someone had lots of antibiotics rounds and lower level of good microbiome In the gut, will prebiotics without probiotics increase the level of good microbiome in the gut?
After 2 courses of Ciprofloxicin 12 months apart, then a year later, intravenous penicillin during surgery. I have had to endure malfunction of gut biome. This post is most welcome -- next, as an English medic names it, a "crapsule" from a healthy donor...🙂
You said, more often than not! Often times! I’ve listen to scientists whose expertise is gut health! As well as functional medicine physicians. I plain yogurt Greek yogurt and kimchi everyday. As well as vegetables to feed my good gut bacteria and will continue to do so…
I wish you continue success. Again, we're talking averages here. And on average, if someone is dysbiotic then Lactobacillus and fermented foods are a bad idea. If you are healthy, then enjoy in moderation if that makes you happy.
Hello Doctor. There are multiple videos on UA-cam about L Reuteri yoghurt which claims to help great deal in SIBO along with other possible positive impacts. What’s your thoughts on that.
you need to watch, and rewatch, more of Guy's content to fully appreciate the stance against Lactobacillus - primarily in those who are dysbiotic - which most of us are on the spectrum
I hadn’t experienced even short term improvements in mood for decades. Now with using L.Reuteri and other probiotics daily, I am nearly always feeling happy, enthusiastic and at times even a bit euphoric.
There are gaps in our knowledge, for sure. However, I know enough to make dramatic improvements in people's lives. Just watch my video testimonials. As for data, watch my long videos. I have everything referenced. The information is a bit dense, but you'll understand with time.
@@TheMicrobiomeExpert You make a big deal about testimonials, but those mean almost nothing. What matters is clinical research. There is no control group for a video testimony. Anyone who thinks they mean anything is, among other things, falling for the base rate fallacy. I'm not saying your protocols don't work, but the testimonial stuff is just marketing. Anyway, a lot of your stuff doesn't seem to have any citations. Your video on F. prausnitzii does, but for example your blog post and video "Probiotics - Don’t waste your time or your money" don't seem to have any, and this video itself, doesn't have any. Your content seems interesting, but citations are essential. The first thing I do with any doctor or expert is to check their citations, read through some of them, and see if there is any misrepresentation or inaccuracy. For myself, I think taking Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus doesn't make sense, as a biome test showed I was in normal range, even though I've had awful GI issues for 15+ years. It also showed I have below detectable limit for F. prausnitzii, which I had never heard of until I got those test results, so at the very least I appreciate you talking about strains like that.
Every time i try a probiotic or a fermented food such as sauerkraut i get really sick with tons of diarrhea and nausea...yet i keep hearing about how good probiotics are for people like myself with digestive issues.
thanks for your contribution. maybe it's time to try something based on the science. feel free to check out my website, Themicrobiomeexpert.com. And don´t forget to like, subscribe and let others know about the channel. It's still new.
@@TheMicrobiomeExpertThanks. I think i currently fall under "IBS-M" and i couldnt find a protocol for that. Do you suggest booking a consult in that case?
Lactobacillus bacteria play a vital role in maintaining a healthy gut, and there is substantial research supporting their benefits. I can speak to this from personal experience, having successfully improved my gut health by increasing lactobacillus levels through both fermented foods like kefir and specific single-strain probiotic supplements. Based on my experience and that of my friends and family members, along with numerous scientific studies, I'm curious about what evidence you're using to form your conclusions. While it's true that an overabundance of any bacteria can be problematic, this doesn't mean we should avoid foods that promote beneficial bacterial growth. The key is maintaining balance for optimal gut function.
Several Lactobacillus species are important for gut health due to their probiotic properties: Lactobacillus acidophilus: Balances harmful bacteria and supports digestion. Lactobacillus fermentum: Strengthens the immune system and prevents infections. Lactobacillus rhamnosus: Relieves IBS symptoms and strengthens gut health. Lactobacillus reuteri: Supports heart health and reduces ulcer-causing bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum: Stimulates digestion and helps produce vitamins. Various lactobacillus species help maintain gut barrier integrity, modulate the immune system, and compete with pathogens.
@@totallyautonomous Thanks for sharing that reference! very helpful to read! It showed evidence that some species of lactobacillus reduced autoimmune factors like certain T cells and TNF alpha in Crohn's disease: "Co-culture of ileal explants from patients with Crohn’s disease with L. casei DN-114001 and L. bulgaricus LB10 resulted in decreased TNF-α expression as well as decreased numbers of CD4+ T cells within the inflamed mucosa (150). CFCS from L. acidophilus ATCC 4356, L. casei ATCC 334, L. lactis ATCC 11454 and L. reuteri ATCC 55148 down-regulated IL-8 expression in human HT-29 cells and had differing strain-dependent efficacies in decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) and in increasing anti-inflammatory IL-10 production in LPS-stimulated monocyte-derived macrophages (151).
I don't want to write a book here, but I have well over 1,000 references in my videos in one way or another. I don' reference animal data. So once you exclude animal data, in vitro data and company sponsored research for probiotics, and then when you look at all human fecal microbiome studies for any given condition, and you compare healthy controls vs those with a condition, when a significant difference is found in a study, most often, the genus or one or more species from Lacto is significantly higher in the sick (aka sig lower in the HCs). Plus with my many years of experience, turning people's lives around for the better, using my principles (which 99% of the time don't include probiotics) I would say I'm doing something right. Watch my videos, with an open mind, and get back to me.
Fermented foods are NOT superior to fiber. You want the fermentation to occur in the gut to produce butyrate. You don't want to add lactate to a dysbiotic gut. If you look at all of the health-promoting bacteria from over 1,000 studies as I have, you NEVER see these bugs you're referencing as determining health. It's the butyrate-producing, oxygen and antibiotic sensitive species from the order Eubacteriales that largely determine one's health. Watch my videos and educate yourself.
For people with disbiosis, it looks like fermented foods can help people increase diversity. But for long term health, you need fiber. That's the basic food for the good bugs.
@@k.h.6991 ill wait till more research comes out. even then, foods like sauerkraut and kimchi are 2 in 1. being fiber and fermented. again, the problem with fiber and gut health is that a majority of research is about soluble and insoluble fiber. Very little research has gone into fermented foods and other types of gut foods. The only fermented food that has a ton of research is kefir. I want more research with betaglucans, polyphenols, collagen, exercise, fasting, ect.
@@TheMicrobiomeExpert We want the fermentation to occur in the lower part of the gut (the colon) but not in the upper portion of the gut, aka the small intestine. That's the conundrum and I don't think there is an answer for it, not yet anyway. If you consume beneficial fibers such as inulin that promote the butyrate-producing bacteria, it must pass through the small intestine on its way to the colon, and if the small intestine is infested with lactobacilli as well as archaea those microorganisms will happily ferment the fiber and cause general mayhem. Once the small intestine is infested in this manner, as in SIBO, I am here to tell you it is next-to-impossible to kill them or starve them. As I've stated many times before, I simply don't believe the studies that suggest they can be eradicated permanently, not even with antibiotics.
I don't recommend probiotics. Feel free to watch more videos and I think you'll begin to understand. On my website you can find protocols or schedule a consultation with me. Themicrobiomeexpert.com
Is it possible that the high lactate of sick people is a good reaction of the body a different problem we do not see? For example: high fever has a function.
I don't think so. Do some reading on lactate accumulation and short bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. Those are extreme cases, and not a good thing. I'll be launching a short video very soon talking a little bit about lactate in SIBO
Thanks for your kind words. Please help out my channel. I just launched the end of February and most of the world doesn't yet know it exists. Please like, subscribe and let others know.
So random question here. Do these fermented foods not convert to glucose once ingested? If so, can they then not create more issues, as sugar would, for someone with damaged stomach/intestine tissues?
Hi doc. Seems you have triggered many fermented food diehards. Consuming lots of fermented foods like kimchi, kombucha etc seemed to trigger histamine intolerance in me. I have since struggled with high histamine foods for 10 years. Even healthy foods like citrus, tomatoes, etc. I believe it was the fermented foods but cannot say with certainty as there can be other contributors. I eat healthy and have had no other issues so it’s very frustrating. Any suggestions for people with histamine intolerance would be very much appreciated. 🙏
haha, yes I have. But I have 97-100% approvals on the videos. Feel free to schedule a consultation if you feel it's the right thing to do. You need to stabilize your mast cells, but in order to do that, you need to address the underlying immune dysregulation.
Ok. Thanks. Guy. Can you recommend 1 or 2 of your protocols for me- almost 71 yo with atopic dermatitis/ eczema on my hands bad enough to send me to a Dermatologist. Also stubborn constipation. Thanks
based on the information you gave me, I'm thinking the autoimmune and constipation protocol. But you'd have to kind of merge them. I'd prefer to know more. You can schedule a consultation with me, if not, get those two, and send me an email on my website, and I'll help you.
First, I wonder why you are on them long term. And I'd highly recommend no probiotics nor fermented food while on them. I know this is contrary to many, but it's the case. You'd be adding more Lactobacillus into an already dysbiotic high Lactobacillus environment. And probably adding more lactate into a high lactate environment. Watch my video entitled, "Lactobacillus, A Dumb Idea in Those Who Are Dysbiotic." Among the many slides, there is a comprehensive study using probiotics during antibiotic therapy, and the results weren't good.
When you consume fermented foods it sets off a war between the good and bad bacteria initially. To claim that the fermented foods ‘set them off’ is short sighted. It’s sort of like a Herxheimer’s reaction. Most American’s have had MANY rounds of antibiotics. So what do you suggest to repopulate the gut with healthy probiotic bacteria?
I really recommend you watch my videos instead of claim that I'm short-sighted. I don't want to write a book here. I have over 1,000 references built in, in various ways.
@ I was replying to someone who posted a comment claiming that eating fermented foods really “set him off.” I wasn’t implying that you are shortsighted.
I haven't watched your other videos (yet, at least), but what are your thoughts on water fasting for a few days to clean out the gut before resetting the microbiome with pre and pro biotics? I've read that such fasts allow the gut to heal itself because the constant pressure of attack is decreased. And if there are problematic bacteria, they will be starved after a few days without nourishment. Like weakening a defending army before invading.
I understand where you're coming from. I don't think that's necessary nor practical for most people. I don't recommend it, and my results are quite excellent.
@ I just found your channel yesterday so I am not sure what those are. Can you let me know which of your videos elaborates on this? Went through a few yesterday but was a lot of what not to do. I am interested to learn more
This would seem to totally contradict Dr. William Davis's yogurt approach in which he recommends L. Reuteri in particular as well as L. Gasseri. Has Guy ever spoken of those two probiotics?
Yes, I contradict quite a few people. I mention L reuteri specifically in my video on diabetes and obesity. Keep watching the videos, you'll understand more with time. It's a lot to grasp, I know.
Thank you Guy, that makes a lot of sense. When I consumed Kefir, its only a short time before my body kicks out the contents of my bowel, if the kefir was really good for the gut why would it react so violently?
lactose/dairy intolerance?` Microbial content doesn't have to do with this. ~IF we are talking about Lacto ferments, then you should have the same reaction with fermented pickles.
@@AlvinKazu yes agreed if they have the same lacto bacteria but lead to believe by some experts that you need the variation in ferments to get a wide range of bacteria etc. Whether that has been studied as it would be good to know what you were putting in.
Lactose intolerance is an issue for many, but should not be for fermented foods. The bacteria ferment the lactose. The immunologic reaction to the dairy proteins is a HUGE problem for many. Do you know which bacteria determine health in the microbiome, generally speaking across the board? List 5.
Ok ok. It looks like this Guy knows what he s talking about. So one thousandth time: change my diet and hope this time its gonna work out...... 😬😵💫😬😵💫😬😵💫😬🥴
Where are the references as proof of this theory? It seems incredibly irresponsible to make such a bold claim without having any substantiation and scientific evidence to back it up. Most medical or scientific professionals will show evidence of their theory. I guess not much can be expected from UA-cam videos to rely on for one's health information. That Lactobacillus can trigger autoimmune disease is contrary to hundreds of scientific studies that show they decrease such tendencies and increase Treg T cells which help to quell autoimmune responses.
This video was a short. I have plenty of other highly referenced videos (over 1,000 references) in my long videos here on this very same channel. Not exactly hard to find. I follow the science and I get results. Spend some time and get a different perspective, and then get back to me.
Everyone is different. Fermented food and probiotics have hurt me more than help. My body’s reaction is enough for me to try something else. One size will never fit all.
The pH of a human stomach can be as low as 1.5. If the ideal pH for lactobacilli is 5.0 to 6.0, wouldn't that mean they all die as soon as you swallow them? I make my own L. reuteri yogurt with lots of heavy cream, but only because it's delicious. Is it changing my microbiome?
Please watch my video on pH. Yes, while digestin, in a healthy stomach the pH can approach 1.5. But Lactobacillus is also happy in a wide variety of pHs. Some bacteria die but some don't. Often time bacteria from the mouth are found in fecal samples. These are especially problematic for colorectal cancer. If you are a healthy person, then a reasonable amount of fermented food is not a bad thing. You can handle it. However, most people are searching for answers to solve gut problems. And the lactate is still lactate. There are many variables. I don't consume fermented foods, but I do feed the oxygen and anti-biotic sensitive health-promoting butyrate producers with the fuels they love.
Why? What's your goal? If it's better health or to fix your gut, then feed the proven health-promotors the fuels they love so they can do their job. In over 1,000 papers I reference in my videos, never do spore based probiotics determine health between those with a disease as compared to healthy controls.
Do ‘live’ beers help with the gut and digestion. In Scotland, many moons ago, doctors would give Guinness for iron, and say it’s good for you. They allowed whisky too, that would give the medical profession palpitations nowadays……
Alcohol is not good for the microbiome. And the yeast in beer is not good especially for Crohn's. With that said, I do drink alcohol. All things within reason. However if you have health problems, and especially gut problems, like everyone I work with, then alcohol is a good thing to give up for a while. Once I stabilize someone, they can return to reasonable alcohol consumption if they want.
@ Thank you, very kind of yourself to take the time to reply. I’m not really a drinker, gave it up years ago. I’m anaemic, from recent blood tests, and was said that Guinness was good for iron, in days of yore. Thank you again. Your presentation is a breath of fresh air in all this gallimaufry of advice…..
Association is causation....I don't think so. watch my videos before casting judgement. You can start with my video on pH, then move to "Why lactobacillus is a dumb idea in those who are dysbiotic," then there are plenty of others. I reference over 1,000 papers in my videos. I provide you with PMIDs at times, titles at other times. You can be a lemming, or you can think independently with my help. How is it I help so many people who have already been down so many other pathways...with so many other practitioners, conventional and alternative?
@@TheMicrobiomeExpert Poorly read papers. You clearly didn't understand the math/statistics. Lemming? I'm the only one who questioned you here while all your watchers just act like a bunch of "hurr He;'s an MD" mouthbreathers.
Yeah, but who is ONLY consuming "Lactobacillus" bacteria in these fermented/"Probiotic" foods, and forgoing any other sort of bacteria? (Also from a quick check, Lactobacillus is a Genus comprising of over 250 species). I did read that there are lacto pills, so maybe people are into that. Maybe some of these basic probiotic drinks are also the issues, because they are mass-produced nonsense, and the `colonies used are questionable, if not modified to harm us(Think modern yeast). Most of the properly prepared ferments will have an incredibly diverse colony of bacteria, not just Lactobacillus. You mentioned Lactobacillus is high in `certain people that are sick, but don't explain why or what causes it, or why Lactobacillus is the issue instead of the lack of the other colonies being an issue. You also mention at the end that we should eat foods that promote the microbiome, but don't mention what those foods are or how to prepare them.
True there are more than Lactobacilli but still the question is lactate. Why add lactate to a dysbiotic environment. Why add "probiotics" into a SIBO environment when the problem are too many bugs too far up the GI tract. Why add Lactobacilli when most of the data shows that Lactobacilli are significantly higher in the sick as compared to health controls. Why not shoot for butyrate production when butyrate and butyrate producers are CLEARLY health promotors, infinitely more so than species from Lactobacillus. Watch my videos and you'll begin to learn. I know I'm saying things different than all others, but let's just follow the science and logic and not some company's pursuit of the bottom line.
Listen to your body you know best. If you feel better with the probiotic stick with it. If you don’t feel any better then don’t waste your money Everyone tells you what to do but only you know how you feel
These things depend. If you are healthy and not overly consuming fermented foods then it should not be a problem. If on the other hand you are dysbiotic, which is probably why you're doing this, then it may not be a good idea. I know what I say is different from about everyone else. I follow the science and I get results. Watch more of my videos and you'll begin to understand where I'm coming from. My videos are highly referenced. Is anyone else doing that? Watch my testimonials. Then make your own decision.
@ Thanks. I’m not dysbiotic, at least not that I know. I just have life-ruining anxiety, and I am convinced the cause is physical. I read that l.reuteri would help.

Hasn’t triggered any issues so far, has provided numerous benefits other than gut calming, and has gotten me more intrigued about micro biome support. My experience is the exact opposite of what is stated here. How can that be?
The lactose has been fermented away (lactose intolerance). You're unlikely to hear me speak in certainties. As I say in one of my videos, "probiotics do help some of the people some of the time, but don't you want something which helps most of the people most of the time?" Also, sometime these things only help temporarily (low FODMAPs, fermented food, probiotics). So keep that in mind too. I'm offering up a more intelligent approach based on the data. Keep watching the videos and you'll begin to understand the philosophy. I know it's dense material and what I say is a bit different. But I have over 1,000 references built into my videos, and you can view my testimonials of some of those whom I have helped.
Thank you. So helpful to me

Beans veggie fruit etc. Best prebiotic foods
there are more. but when the microbiome is very dysbiotic, it needs more.
100% agree. Fermented foods and prebiotic destroyed my gut for years. Even from rare consumption.
thanks for your contribution. Please don't forget to subscribe, like and recommend.
but how did you know that the fermented foods destroyed your gut?
@@jeansroses7249 I felt it immediately after eating those foods.
I've noticed the same with reactions from histamine type headache to stubborn constipation after eating something like yogurt or kefir. I still eat them sometimes because they are delicious but this guy explains the reason for my symptoms.
Hmm. "more often than not", yea, might be. But when i/we test the actual bacillus count via stool sample, we know exactly what we need/don't need. There are many dysfunctional stages in which we actually need lactobacillus, and it makes sense to supplement it specifically via probiotics which contain specific bacteria strains. To make things even more complex: Problems caused by Fermented food can arise by OTHER bacteria strains, other than lactobacillus, as fermented food contain a wild variety.
yes but fermented foods contain lactate. You don't want lactate in a dysbiotic gut. I just released a new video on this topic with more data points than you can imagine. Take a look.
Really worked for me all your suggestions good bless you .m
Would you like to record a video testimonial?
@@TheMicrobiomeExpert yes sir ..
Is vinegar safer? I think it has acetic acid, not latic acid. For me this is important as vinegar helps me to have better digestions. I usually make sure it is pausterized
yes, vinegar is acetic acid, which is just two carbons and can be used by many bacteria or simply quickly absorbed in the small intestine. But we should also ask ourselves, "why do I need it"?
@TheMicrobiomeExpert Ok! Thank you for the explanation! I know I have difficult digestions because I am dysbiotic and the most important thing is to resolve this. But I find vinegar helpful meanwhile. I just wanted to know if it could also cause problems. But al least it seems not as problematic as yogurt for example
Interesting! I grew up consuming kefir, fermented pickles etc. and I have no problem with unpasteurized apple vinegar (digestion), but I can not (literally) digest store bought pasteurized vinegar. I understand fermented food can be an issue for people with Crohn's and other autoimmune diseases, and there are possible more beneficial bacteria, but why confuse people who do benefit from healthy food?
Balsamic all thru the day in seltzer water
Sauerkraut great for microbiome
@candelavidal3920 Same here ! What kind of vinegar are you using? I use balsamic vinegar. Strangely Apple cider vinegar is not working good in my case....
If someone had lots of antibiotics rounds and lower level of good microbiome In the gut, will prebiotics without probiotics increase the level of good microbiome in the gut?
yes
After 2 courses of Ciprofloxicin 12 months apart, then a year later, intravenous penicillin during surgery. I have had to endure malfunction of gut biome. This post is most welcome -- next, as an English medic names it, a "crapsule" from a healthy donor...🙂
You said, more often than not! Often times! I’ve listen to scientists whose expertise is gut health! As well as functional medicine physicians. I plain yogurt Greek yogurt and kimchi everyday. As well as vegetables to feed my good gut bacteria and will continue to do so…
I wish you continue success. Again, we're talking averages here. And on average, if someone is dysbiotic then Lactobacillus and fermented foods are a bad idea. If you are healthy, then enjoy in moderation if that makes you happy.
Hello Doctor.
There are multiple videos on UA-cam about L Reuteri yoghurt which claims to help great deal in SIBO along with other possible positive impacts.
What’s your thoughts on that.
His thought is still no.
you need to watch, and rewatch, more of Guy's content to fully appreciate the stance against Lactobacillus - primarily in those who are dysbiotic - which most of us are on the spectrum
In my opinion, it's a bad idea. As Droidzi said, keep watching the videos and you'll understand why. Or you can schedule a consultation with me.
I hadn’t experienced even short term improvements in mood for decades. Now with using L.Reuteri and other probiotics daily, I am nearly always feeling happy, enthusiastic and at times even a bit euphoric.
I don't think humans or scientists really understand the microbiome. Everything you said has a theoretical point to it. It needs to be tested.
There are gaps in our knowledge, for sure. However, I know enough to make dramatic improvements in people's lives. Just watch my video testimonials. As for data, watch my long videos. I have everything referenced. The information is a bit dense, but you'll understand with time.
@@TheMicrobiomeExpert You make a big deal about testimonials, but those mean almost nothing. What matters is clinical research. There is no control group for a video testimony. Anyone who thinks they mean anything is, among other things, falling for the base rate fallacy. I'm not saying your protocols don't work, but the testimonial stuff is just marketing. Anyway, a lot of your stuff doesn't seem to have any citations. Your video on F. prausnitzii does, but for example your blog post and video "Probiotics - Don’t waste your time or your money" don't seem to have any, and this video itself, doesn't have any. Your content seems interesting, but citations are essential. The first thing I do with any doctor or expert is to check their citations, read through some of them, and see if there is any misrepresentation or inaccuracy.
For myself, I think taking Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus doesn't make sense, as a biome test showed I was in normal range, even though I've had awful GI issues for 15+ years. It also showed I have below detectable limit for F. prausnitzii, which I had never heard of until I got those test results, so at the very least I appreciate you talking about strains like that.
Every time i try a probiotic or a fermented food such as sauerkraut i get really sick with tons of diarrhea and nausea...yet i keep hearing about how good probiotics are for people like myself with digestive issues.

thanks for your reply. Please don't forget to subscribe, like and recommend
Lactobacillus bacteria play a vital role in maintaining a healthy gut, and there is substantial research supporting their benefits. I can speak to this from personal experience, having successfully improved my gut health by increasing lactobacillus levels through both fermented foods like kefir and specific single-strain probiotic supplements.
Based on my experience and that of my friends and family members, along with numerous scientific studies, I'm curious about what evidence you're using to form your conclusions. While it's true that an overabundance of any bacteria can be problematic, this doesn't mean we should avoid foods that promote beneficial bacterial growth. The key is maintaining balance for optimal gut function.
pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9019120/
Several Lactobacillus species are important for gut health due to their probiotic properties:
Lactobacillus acidophilus: Balances harmful bacteria and supports digestion.
Lactobacillus fermentum: Strengthens the immune system and prevents infections.
Lactobacillus rhamnosus: Relieves IBS symptoms and strengthens gut health.
Lactobacillus reuteri: Supports heart health and reduces ulcer-causing bacteria
Lactobacillus plantarum: Stimulates digestion and helps produce vitamins.
Various lactobacillus species help maintain gut barrier integrity, modulate the immune system, and compete with pathogens.
@@totallyautonomous Thanks for sharing that reference! very helpful to read! It showed evidence that some species of lactobacillus reduced autoimmune factors like certain T cells and TNF alpha in Crohn's disease: "Co-culture of ileal explants from patients with Crohn’s disease with L. casei DN-114001 and L. bulgaricus LB10 resulted in decreased TNF-α expression as well as decreased numbers of CD4+ T cells within the inflamed mucosa (150). CFCS from L. acidophilus ATCC 4356, L. casei ATCC 334, L. lactis ATCC 11454 and L. reuteri ATCC 55148 down-regulated IL-8 expression in human HT-29 cells and had differing strain-dependent efficacies in decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) and in increasing anti-inflammatory IL-10 production in LPS-stimulated monocyte-derived macrophages (151).
I don't want to write a book here, but I have well over 1,000 references in my videos in one way or another. I don' reference animal data. So once you exclude animal data, in vitro data and company sponsored research for probiotics, and then when you look at all human fecal microbiome studies for any given condition, and you compare healthy controls vs those with a condition, when a significant difference is found in a study, most often, the genus or one or more species from Lacto is significantly higher in the sick (aka sig lower in the HCs). Plus with my many years of experience, turning people's lives around for the better, using my principles (which 99% of the time don't include probiotics) I would say I'm doing something right. Watch my videos, with an open mind, and get back to me.
I listened to two microbiome researchers from Stanford say that fiber was the most important thing to eat for microbiome health.
thats because thats were most of the research has gone into. Fermented foods are superior than plain fiber
Fermented foods are NOT superior to fiber. You want the fermentation to occur in the gut to produce butyrate. You don't want to add lactate to a dysbiotic gut. If you look at all of the health-promoting bacteria from over 1,000 studies as I have, you NEVER see these bugs you're referencing as determining health. It's the butyrate-producing, oxygen and antibiotic sensitive species from the order Eubacteriales that largely determine one's health. Watch my videos and educate yourself.
For people with disbiosis, it looks like fermented foods can help people increase diversity. But for long term health, you need fiber. That's the basic food for the good bugs.
@@k.h.6991 ill wait till more research comes out. even then, foods like sauerkraut and kimchi are 2 in 1. being fiber and fermented.
again, the problem with fiber and gut health is that a majority of research is about soluble and insoluble fiber. Very little research has gone into fermented foods and other types of gut foods. The only fermented food that has a ton of research is kefir. I want more research with betaglucans, polyphenols, collagen, exercise, fasting, ect.
@@TheMicrobiomeExpert We want the fermentation to occur in the lower part of the gut (the colon) but not in the upper portion of the gut, aka the small intestine. That's the conundrum and I don't think there is an answer for it, not yet anyway. If you consume beneficial fibers such as inulin that promote the butyrate-producing bacteria, it must pass through the small intestine on its way to the colon, and if the small intestine is infested with lactobacilli as well as archaea those microorganisms will happily ferment the fiber and cause general mayhem. Once the small intestine is infested in this manner, as in SIBO, I am here to tell you it is next-to-impossible to kill them or starve them. As I've stated many times before, I simply don't believe the studies that suggest they can be eradicated permanently, not even with antibiotics.
Would you recommend Histamine Free/ D Lactate free probiotics?
I don't recommend probiotics. Feel free to watch more videos and I think you'll begin to understand. On my website you can find protocols or schedule a consultation with me. Themicrobiomeexpert.com
Is it possible that the high lactate of sick people is a good reaction of the body a different problem we do not see?
For example: high fever has a function.
I don't think so. Do some reading on lactate accumulation and short bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis. Those are extreme cases, and not a good thing. I'll be launching a short video very soon talking a little bit about lactate in SIBO
So what is the alternative treatment. If that was mentioned I missed it.
I have a number of protocols available on my website. Themicrobiomeexpert.com
No one I've seen to date is as informed as Guy on the topic of gut health...and I've seen a LOT of people talking gut, flora, biome.

So random question here. Do these fermented foods not convert to glucose once ingested?
If so, can they then not create more issues, as sugar would, for someone with damaged stomach/intestine tissues?
the lactose (which is glucose and galactose) is broken down into lactate.
Hi doc. Seems you have triggered many fermented food diehards. Consuming lots of fermented foods like kimchi, kombucha etc seemed to trigger histamine intolerance in me. I have since struggled with high histamine foods for 10 years. Even healthy foods like citrus, tomatoes, etc. I believe it was the fermented foods but cannot say with certainty as there can be other contributors. I eat healthy and have had no other issues so it’s very frustrating. Any suggestions for people with histamine intolerance would be very much appreciated. 🙏
haha, yes I have. But I have 97-100% approvals on the videos. Feel free to schedule a consultation if you feel it's the right thing to do. You need to stabilize your mast cells, but in order to do that, you need to address the underlying immune dysregulation.
Do you ever recommend lactoferrin for these forms of immune dysfunction?
it's not necessary.
Ok. Thanks. Guy. Can you recommend 1 or 2 of your protocols for me- almost 71 yo with atopic dermatitis/ eczema on my hands bad enough to send me to a Dermatologist. Also stubborn constipation. Thanks
based on the information you gave me, I'm thinking the autoimmune and constipation protocol. But you'd have to kind of merge them. I'd prefer to know more. You can schedule a consultation with me, if not, get those two, and send me an email on my website, and I'll help you.
What if you're on long term anti-biotics?!
First, I wonder why you are on them long term. And I'd highly recommend no probiotics nor fermented food while on them. I know this is contrary to many, but it's the case. You'd be adding more Lactobacillus into an already dysbiotic high Lactobacillus environment. And probably adding more lactate into a high lactate environment. Watch my video entitled, "Lactobacillus, A Dumb Idea in Those Who Are Dysbiotic." Among the many slides, there is a comprehensive study using probiotics during antibiotic therapy, and the results weren't good.
When you consume fermented foods it sets off a war between the good and bad bacteria initially. To claim that the fermented foods ‘set them off’ is short sighted. It’s sort of like a Herxheimer’s reaction. Most American’s have had MANY rounds of antibiotics. So what do you suggest to repopulate the gut with healthy probiotic bacteria?
Sauerkraut And Balsamic vinegar
@ Yes, I know all about Sauerkraut and Kimchi. I used to make my own Sauerkraut from scratch. But he warns about fermented foods.
I really recommend you watch my videos instead of claim that I'm short-sighted. I don't want to write a book here. I have over 1,000 references built in, in various ways.
@ I was replying to someone who posted a comment claiming that eating fermented foods really “set him off.” I wasn’t implying that you are shortsighted.
I haven't watched your other videos (yet, at least), but what are your thoughts on water fasting for a few days to clean out the gut before resetting the microbiome with pre and pro biotics? I've read that such fasts allow the gut to heal itself because the constant pressure of attack is decreased. And if there are problematic bacteria, they will be starved after a few days without nourishment. Like weakening a defending army before invading.
I understand where you're coming from. I don't think that's necessary nor practical for most people. I don't recommend it, and my results are quite excellent.

What about lactobacillus reuteri for a non-dysbiotic gut?
would generally not be a problem in moderation. but why? wouldn't you rather increase the abundance of the true health-promotors?
@ I just found your channel yesterday so I am not sure what those are. Can you let me know which of your videos elaborates on this? Went through a few yesterday but was a lot of what not to do. I am interested to learn more
You could start with the video on F prausnitzii perhaps
HAAAAAAA EVERYONE IS AN EXPERT. Thank you Mr Guy Daniels the Mic Expert!!!
Please take some time to watch my long videos. Then I think you'll begin to understand my perspective.
I love my homemade fermented foods. Taste great, saves money, saves time, nutritious and delicious. Friends beg me for my kimchi.
enjoy...
Fermented foods ..yogurt. Included...is heast like. ...and let the candida overgrowth..in the
Stomac.....
thanks for your contribution
Is your personal method actually fizing the dysbiotic/sibo gut? Or just something you need to take for life like probiotic?
The goal is to get to the root cause. However, in some people, the damage is substantial and they may need prebiotic support.
This would seem to totally contradict Dr. William Davis's yogurt approach in which he recommends L. Reuteri in particular as well as L. Gasseri. Has Guy ever spoken of those two probiotics?
Yes, I contradict quite a few people. I mention L reuteri specifically in my video on diabetes and obesity. Keep watching the videos, you'll understand more with time. It's a lot to grasp, I know.
Thank you Guy, that makes a lot of sense. When I consumed Kefir, its only a short time before my body kicks out the contents of my bowel, if the kefir was really good for the gut why would it react so violently?

lactose/dairy intolerance?`
Microbial content doesn't have to do with this.
~IF we are talking about Lacto ferments, then you should have the same reaction with fermented pickles.
@@AlvinKazu yes agreed if they have the same lacto bacteria but lead to believe by some experts that you need the variation in ferments to get a wide range of bacteria etc. Whether that has been studied as it would be good to know what you were putting in.
Lactose intolerance is an issue for many, but should not be for fermented foods. The bacteria ferment the lactose.
The immunologic reaction to the dairy proteins is a HUGE problem for many.
Do you know which bacteria determine health in the microbiome, generally speaking across the board? List 5.
Ok ok. It looks like this Guy knows what he s talking about. So one thousandth time: change my diet and hope this time its gonna work out...... 😬😵💫😬😵💫😬😵💫😬🥴
if your "gut is broken" you'll need to do more than diet.
Where are the references as proof of this theory? It seems incredibly irresponsible to make such a bold claim without having any substantiation and scientific evidence to back it up. Most medical or scientific professionals will show evidence of their theory. I guess not much can be expected from UA-cam videos to rely on for one's health information. That Lactobacillus can trigger autoimmune disease is contrary to hundreds of scientific studies that show they decrease such tendencies and increase Treg T cells which help to quell autoimmune responses.
This video was a short. I have plenty of other highly referenced videos (over 1,000 references) in my long videos here on this very same channel. Not exactly hard to find. I follow the science and I get results. Spend some time and get a different perspective, and then get back to me.
I've had negative reactions to both probiotic foods and supplements like histamine headaches and such. So this makes sense to me.
Everyone is different. Fermented food and probiotics have hurt me more than help. My body’s reaction is enough for me to try something else. One size will never fit all.
The pH of a human stomach can be as low as 1.5. If the ideal pH for lactobacilli is 5.0 to 6.0, wouldn't that mean they all die as soon as you swallow them? I make my own L. reuteri yogurt with lots of heavy cream, but only because it's delicious. Is it changing my microbiome?
Please watch my video on pH. Yes, while digestin, in a healthy stomach the pH can approach 1.5. But Lactobacillus is also happy in a wide variety of pHs. Some bacteria die but some don't. Often time bacteria from the mouth are found in fecal samples. These are especially problematic for colorectal cancer. If you are a healthy person, then a reasonable amount of fermented food is not a bad thing. You can handle it. However, most people are searching for answers to solve gut problems. And the lactate is still lactate. There are many variables. I don't consume fermented foods, but I do feed the oxygen and anti-biotic sensitive health-promoting butyrate producers with the fuels they love.
Ohhh good. I don’t have to buy anymore kimchi. I hate that stuff. Saving me $.
Doctor , what is your opinion about spore based probiotics ?
Why? What's your goal? If it's better health or to fix your gut, then feed the proven health-promotors the fuels they love so they can do their job. In over 1,000 papers I reference in my videos, never do spore based probiotics determine health between those with a disease as compared to healthy controls.
@TheMicrobiomeExpert I appreciated your reply, thanks a lot
Do ‘live’ beers help with the gut and digestion. In Scotland, many moons ago, doctors would give Guinness for iron, and say it’s good for you. They allowed whisky too, that would give the medical profession palpitations nowadays……
Alcohol is not good for the microbiome. And the yeast in beer is not good especially for Crohn's. With that said, I do drink alcohol. All things within reason. However if you have health problems, and especially gut problems, like everyone I work with, then alcohol is a good thing to give up for a while. Once I stabilize someone, they can return to reasonable alcohol consumption if they want.
@ Thank you, very kind of yourself to take the time to reply. I’m not really a drinker, gave it up years ago. I’m anaemic, from recent blood tests, and was said that Guinness was good for iron, in days of yore. Thank you again. Your presentation is a breath of fresh air in all this gallimaufry of advice…..

Ah good old doctor is making the "smoke creates fire" logical fallacy.
Association is causation....I don't think so. watch my videos before casting judgement. You can start with my video on pH, then move to "Why lactobacillus is a dumb idea in those who are dysbiotic," then there are plenty of others. I reference over 1,000 papers in my videos.

@@TheMicrobiomeExpert Poorly read papers. You clearly didn't understand the math/statistics. Lemming? I'm the only one who questioned you here while all your watchers just act like a bunch of "hurr He;'s an MD" mouthbreathers.
Thanks for your wisdom.
Yeah, but who is ONLY consuming "Lactobacillus" bacteria in these fermented/"Probiotic" foods, and forgoing any other sort of bacteria? (Also from a quick check, Lactobacillus is a Genus comprising of over 250 species). I did read that there are lacto pills, so maybe people are into that. Maybe some of these basic probiotic drinks are also the issues, because they are mass-produced nonsense, and the `colonies used are questionable, if not modified to harm us(Think modern yeast).
Most of the properly prepared ferments will have an incredibly diverse colony of bacteria, not just Lactobacillus.
You mentioned Lactobacillus is high in `certain people that are sick, but don't explain why or what causes it, or why Lactobacillus is the issue instead of the lack of the other colonies being an issue.
You also mention at the end that we should eat foods that promote the microbiome, but don't mention what those foods are or how to prepare them.
@@AlvinKazu try watching more videos from Guy, he does answer that question
True there are more than Lactobacilli but still the question is lactate. Why add lactate to a dysbiotic environment. Why add "probiotics" into a SIBO environment when the problem are too many bugs too far up the GI tract. Why add Lactobacilli when most of the data shows that Lactobacilli are significantly higher in the sick as compared to health controls. Why not shoot for butyrate production when butyrate and butyrate producers are CLEARLY health promotors, infinitely more so than species from Lactobacillus. Watch my videos and you'll begin to learn. I know I'm saying things different than all others, but let's just follow the science and logic and not some company's pursuit of the bottom line.

@@honordarling yes we are all different, sadly some gut specialist like ZOE want to try and make us ill the same by getting us to eat things.
These things depend. If you are healthy and not overly consuming fermented foods then it should not be a problem.
