Episode notes
Use Low FODMAP As A Corrective Diet
- Try a low FODMAP diet for 4–6 weeks to reduce fermentable foods that feed small-intestine bacteria.
- Reintroduce foods gradually; about 80% compliance yields benefits and many foods can be re-tolerated.
Reset With An Elemental Diet
- Consider an elemental diet reset for severe cases or near-total food reactivity, using zero-FODMAP meal replacements.
- Start with a 2–4 day exclusive reset, then replace 1–2 meals for weeks while gradually resuming food.
Use Multi-Type Probiotics For Gut Repair
- Use targeted probiotics to reduce inflammation, heal leaky gut, and correct bowel habits.
- Try lactobacillus/bifidobacterium, Saccharomyces, and soil-based probiotics for 2–3 months (adjust per response).
