Sensitivities. And because of, and the real thing is it's because of this increased intestinal permeability. So our job is we have to heal that increased intestinal permeability so that they don't have to be so restrictive with their foods. I mean, we still always want them to be on a healthy diet, but we want to relax those restrictions over time. Most of the time we can.

Right. So we did a stool test that looked at his microbiome. And what we noticed is that there was an overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria and unhealthy yeast. So he had this, you know, probably because of years of antibiotics, he developed this dysbiosis, this imbalance in the bacteria and yeast. And so there was an overgrowth of the unhealthy things.

Yeah, right. It's not always like one of those, you think of a stomach infection and you're getting really, really sick, you're throwing up or having diarrhea. This is this, it's an imbalance. and it's called dysbiosis, but that imbalance causes a lot of symptoms in people.

When you have the wrong bacteria and the wrong yeast levels, you can get a lot of bloating after you eat, you can get a lot of fatigue after you eat, you can get those symptoms of constipation and diarrhea, and that causes this inflammation in the digestive system, so all of your digestive enzymes don't work well.

So you're not breaking down your food well, you're not absorbing your nutrients well, and it becomes this vicious cycle that people are dealing with and we see all the time.

You can test to see if there's leaky gut. I love that test too because it's a great way for us to follow up and see how much we're seeing improvement. Are we doing enough? Are we seeing improvement in their leaky gut or increased intestinal permeability?

Right, right. So for him, we removed the inflammatory foods and we removed the bacteria and yeast. I actually treated him with an antibiotic, a non-absorbed antibiotic and an antifungal. So I treated him with prescription medication. Yeah, weed killer. So that was the remove, right? And then the replace.

Because he was underweight and because of that inflammation in his digestive system, I gave him some digestive enzymes for a short period of time just to help him, to help it so the food wasn't as inflammatory for him and to help him absorb more nutrients. And then we worked on re-inoculating, right? So after we gave him some good probiotics.
