hey guys dr. Burke here in this video

we’re going to talk about IBS tips

irritable bowel syndrome if you have

that listen and learn because there are

several things that you can do to really

greatly reduce the pain inflammation

bloating in your intestines number one

gluten now you probably already know

this gluten is the protein in grains

okay specifically wheat and you probably

already gave that up but if you haven’t

if you just cut out gluten you probably

will notice 50% of the symptoms go

completely away overnight okay and but I

don’t want you to have any grains

because it’s hard to digest grains and

there’s not a lot of nutrition and

grains either so just to avoid them all

you probably already did that but I just

want to mention that’s the top top thing

and by the way if you’re allergic to

gluten the reason why you’re allergic

because the true allergy is to a protein

and gluten is the protein in the grain

okay the same thing with dairy see

sometimes people think chickens and eggs

are dairy they’re not dairy is milk

derivatives anything from milk cheese

milk yogurt kefir

that’s dairy and so you have the protein

in dairy it’s called casein and you

might have a casein allergy okay but you

also could have a lactose intolerance

that’s different but that can create

digestive problems so with IBS you have

a combination of allergies and

tolerances and just sensitivities okay

two different foods now this is really

cool number three when someone comes in

with an IBS flare-up I always ask them

number one when did it happen

okay when number one number two what did

you eat but normally they can’t remember

so they don’t keep a food lock so what I

want you to do is keep a food log

because if you can isolate when you

started having problems and then you

knew what you ate then we can narrow

down very quickly what you need what’s

irritating your gut okay is it an

allergy is it a sensitivity and the

problem is when you eat a lot of

combination of foods you know it’s

really hard because there’s too many

variables so if you have IBS it’s better

to have maybe one or two foods that

time that you’re eating so we can narrow

it down and just from a process of

elimination we can find out what you can

eat and what you can’t eat okay

don’t keep eating things that are

irritating your gut alright so when did

it start what did you eat keep a log

very important fermented foods that

would be like sauerkraut kefir things

that are already broken down those are

easy to digest very smart to start

eating these foods if you have IBS

because it helps heal the area there’s

other products you can take too like

glutamine and even cabbage juice is good

but that will actually help like

fermented cabbage juice is even better

but that will actually help the IBS now

the last thing we’re talking about is

acid stomach now if you’re consuming an

allergy the purpose of the stomach is to

break down proteins including things

that you’re alerted to which are

proteins okay so if your stomach is too

alkaline

you’re not going to break those down so

it’s going to bypass the stomach these

proteins get into your small intestine

and irritate that heck out of your colon

creating all sorts of problems

so just by acidifying your stomach you

can create a lot of benefits so I use

something called apple cider vinegar

plus this has a concentrated outside of

vinegar plus something called betaine

hydrochloride which basically acidifies

your stomach and what happens is that if

your stomach is acid you will be able to

break down things that you’re allergic

to at the stomach level and not them let

them invade the rest of the intestinal

tract where they’re irritating the heck

out of your intestines there’s a huge

connection between your pH especially of

the stomach and allergies okay

people develop allergies in general and

talk about food allergies and

environmental when they have an alkaline

system an / alkaline system okay you

maybe have heard the opposite but it’s

not true it’s an alkaline system so if

you were just to acidify the system you

would probably get rid of more allergies

okay so it starts with the stomach

stomach is the most important one

acidify so getting in our stomach help

break things down less irritation in the

gut alright hope that helped I will see
