let’s talk about the best way to treat

lower abdominal cramping pain okay well

I think you’d want to go to an expert

right someone who’s qualified that

really knows their stuff and that would

be a GI doctor you’ll probably get

several uh prescriptions one being an

anti-spasmodic medication you might get

some painkillers antacids maybe they’ll

send you to the drugstore to get

Pepto-Bismol or gas X well if that

doesn’t work you can always be sent to a

psychiatrist to get cognitive behavioral

therapy right I mean to me it’s

mind-blowing that a GI doctor

would not really emphasize your diet I

mean if I had to go back to school I

think I would want to be a GI doc

because it would be so easy and I would

be doing things so differently yet I

think I would get amazing results

instead of focusing on all these complex

diagnoses which are really descriptions

of symptoms I would focus primarily on

the diet because the digestive system is

really the machine to assimilate food

and when we talk about lower abdominal

cramping pain

I will bet you anything it’s related to

what the person is eating even if they

have a deficiency of bile hydrochloric

acid from the bacteria enzymes

somewhere along the line those problems

originated from poor diet but typically

when you’re getting cramps and pain in

the lower part of the GI tract

there’s something to do with

malabsorption it could be any number of

things that interfere with your

digestion it could be small intestinal

bacterial overgrowth it could be

irritable bowel syndrome it could be

diverticulitis

diverticulosis but primarily you’re

getting bloating maybe diarrhea loose

stools if we have a malabsorption

problem we have a problem with the

little colon cells there’s a couple

different kinds there’s the intro site

there’s the colonosite and these cells

do a lot of work helping to absorb food

okay they have these little hairs that

project from them that are filled with

enzymes to help you digest and so they

break stuff down and then they absorb

amino acids glucose fatty acids vitamins

electrolytes water Etc and when they’re

healthy they can do their job when

they’re not healthy

they don’t have the enzymes to break

things down so some of this food gets

passed along the fructose especially

gets passed along if you have any type

of fruit you know 50 of table sugar is

fructose so that fructose ends up in the

large intestine and boy do your microbes

love that and they just go after that

and they create all sorts of problems

like with gas and things like that then

you have undigested fats that end up in

the colon that never get absorbed

because of some reason that could be a

lack of bile or it could just be that

your colon is not taking in these fats

anymore so it ends up in the stool so

the stool May float okay or you might

have this oily stool that leaves these

little skid marks on the toilet so this

means the fat that should be absorbed

and the fat soluble vitamins that should

be absorbed have not been absorbed let’s

take vitamin A if you don’t have vitamin

A you start getting these little brown

flaky dry things on your skin that’s

called hyper keratosis not that you

would ever need to know that name but if

you could memorize that you’ll sound

really smart at a party or if you’re

deficient in vitamin K1 you can get

these little black and blue spots on

your skin okay it’s called ecchymosis or

you can get a vitamin D deficiency okay

and you’re going to get bone pain

primarily in your lower back your lower

back is going to be achy stiff it could

be other places too but normally you’re

going to feel it in the lower back first

now just as a side note like vitamin K2

is another vitamin that helps keep

calcium out of the joints it helps keep

calcium out of your arteries very

important E coli believe it or not

that’s actually a normal microbe in your

gut that helps you okay it does turn

pathogenic if the environment changes

but when it’s friendly it actually makes

B vitamins B1 B2 B6 B12 it even helps

you break down lactose milk sugar so

some of these microbes can be friendly

they can help you and then they can flip

and become very unfriendly if the

environment is not right like taking

antibiotics unfortunately a great

majority of the antibiotics are given to

animals and so that creates a problem

with E coli because you’re going to

throw up this whole balance and now

they’re going to carry more unfriendly E

coli but the more inflammation or

problems you have in the gut the more

sensitive you’re going to be to gluten

the more problems you’re going to have

with milk especially lactose fructose

from fruit the more problems you’re

going to have with grains the more

problems you’re going to have with

legumes and beans and even nuts and

seeds you just want to avoid all those

instead a really good thing for you to

do okay you can make a stew and you can

actually put bones in them actually cut

the bones in half or buy them cut in

half so you get all the bone marrow and

you can make your own bone broth stew so

you can put meat in there you can put a

whole chicken in there you can put fish

in there we want to cook this to break

down the collagen it’s really good for

inflammation in the gut and also if you

put vegetables in there like cabbage and

carrots and other things they’re going

to cook down enough where they’re not

going to bother you at all but here’s

the thing when you want to heal the gut

you want to actually do a little more

fat you don’t want to do lean protein

you want to do kind of a fatty protein

not a lot but just sufficient amounts

and that fat shouldn’t be from coconut

or other types of plants like corn oil

or soil oil or things like that your fat

should be saturated animal fat it’s

going to help your colon heal so when

you put the chicken in there make sure

the Skin’s in there when you put either

lamb or some type of meat make sure you

put fatty Cuts now another thing you can

have is if you do a kefir if you could

find a lactose-free kefir so that way

you won’t have any sensitivities and if

you could actually find a lactose free

goats kefir that would be the best and

do the whole milk and if it’s organic

that would be even better right that

would actually help you another thing in

small amounts to help fortify those

little colon cells would be to consume

some Probiotic foods there’s a good

amount of bacteria in raw cheese

unfortunately in America most of it is

pasteurized but in Europe you have the

raw cheeses you might be able to find

raw milk cheese in the United States but

the raw milk cheese gives you a lot of

good probiotics and if you can get that

from like a ghost cheese or a sheep

cheese that would be way better than a

cow milk cheese another fact that can be

beneficial for the gut would be ghee not

a lot just have a little bit a diet

you’ll find that it can actually help

you it’s loaded with nutrition and of

course fermented vegetables now because

they’re fermented they’re going to have

a lot less anti-nutrition they’re going

to be easier to digest but test the

waters just have a little bit and see

how you do most people do quite well

instead of doing a big salad or a lot of

vegetables the fermented vegetables just

a little bit would be awesome or cook

your vegetables and put in the stew

steam them you’ll find that you’ll be

able to digest them a little bit better

but out of all the vegetables that a

person can consume with digestive

problems cabbage is at the top of the

list there’s something about cabbage

that seems to be very therapeutic to the

gut it could be because of the

sulforaphane which actually kills off

Ace pylori or there’s certain amount of

nutrients that are good to digest but

even people that have like gastritis or

even irritable bowel syndrome many times

can do cabbage but they can’t do other

types of vegetables so we had these

levels of digestive problems we have a

really good digestive system and then we

have a really bad digestive system and

the worse off the digestive system the

more strict you need to do this to the

point where you can’t really consume any

vegetables or any fiber and definitely

no fruit and definitely no grains no

beans no legumes you actually have to

have a really good digestive system to

digest all these things but like soups

or stews with collagen can be extremely

beneficial in healing to your gut you

should try it out I think you’re going

to be quite surprised how it works now

because we’re on the topic of digestion

if you haven’t seen a more comprehensive

video and digestion you really need to

check that out and I put that up right
