LUNG AND BOWEL SERIES: How can we start balancing the gut? Usually diet changes can start to affect the bacterial balance in the bowel within 24 hours. Dr. Mike recommends trying a 2 week ruminant fast! A ruminant fast consists of eating only beef or lamb meat/liver/broth, a good butter (like Kerrygold), a quality sea salt (like Alessi Sea Salt), and purified water for 2 weeks. It's helpful to drink 1 tsp of sea salt in 16 oz of water every day during these two weeks. If you've had your gallbladder removed, add ox bile tablets to each meal to help digestion. Then at the end of those two weeks, add back other animal meats (chicken, pork, fish, etc.) every 4 days and take note of how you feel. If one type of meat bothers you, take it back out. Then add back eggs, dairy, white rice, fruit (one at a time), and finally vegetables (also one at a time). You might be amazed with the results!
