Show Notes:
Gut Health Superfood = Fiber
Why?
Intestinal Transit Time
a. Foods to avoid: 'lingering foods'
Make it harder for stool microbes to leave the system
b. Bad microbes stay too long (12+ hours) and cause problems
c. Consider eating high fiber (daily goal of 40-50 grams)
d. Consider taking a stool softener
e. Aim for 2-4 bowel movements daily.
f. Drink plenty of water

  • Thank you! I wish that more doctors talked about the importance of food when it comes to the progression of MS and other chronic illnesses. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the end of 2020 at 27yrs old, and I was so lucky that my ER doctors stressed to me how important it is to have a healthy diet. Changing my diet has done so much for my health. It's not easy to stop eating foods you love, but your brain and future are so much more important than the taste of your favorite food that only lasts a few moments.

    Thanks for these videos Dr. Chanu, excellent quality :) it is much appreciated. Would love for more research to be done on the gut microbiome within MS.
  • The first thing i did when i was diagnosed with MS was to ask if i had to follow a diet, to what the doctor responded that there is no evidence of a diet making a real difference, but she suggested Dr Terry Wahls anti inflammatory diet, which i follow since its good advice even for healthy people and helped me loose weight and feel a lot less tired. The second thing i did was to get medication... i don't think you should be telling people that have so much to loose to just follow a diet like it will magically cure them. That said, i belive following an anti inflammatory diet is key, just don´t make it into a solution, people still need medication.
  • I am really interested and cannot wait to begin this diet! I have had MS for 15 years, and really want to adjust my diet! Where do I add my email address for further information?
  • Then are the secondary metabolites the ones responsible for ibs? I have a refractory celiac disease type 1 and with a ketogenic diet rich with fibers ( blueberries, strawberries, avocado) I am managing my symptoms. Since I also have a neurodegenerative disease which in somehow overlap the symptom of Ms, I would happy to know something more about vitamin b12 deficiency. I hope that I can hear from you doc.
  • I am watching this on YouTube on my tv & meanwhile not even in my cellphone can I add my email & check out the walk through the protocols, help here
