Today, we’re going to talk about why you might have sharp stomach pain that comes and goes.
What causes stomach pain that comes and goes?
1. SIBO
The worst thing to consume if you have SIBO is vegetables. If you have SIBO, try taking betaine hydrochloride.
2. Inflammation/Ulcer
This could be caused by damage from something you’re eating or a food allergy. Try a food allergy test to identify the problem. For an ulcer, taking chlorophyll may help.
3. Gallbladder/Bile ducts
Eating the wrong types of foods, or high levels of certain hormones can cause a stone. This can create irritation.
4. Pancreas/Duct
Carbs can cause your pancreas to work too hard. If it’s working too hard, the stimulation can interfere with the normal flow of digestive juices, which can cause a lot of problems.
5. Gluten
For some people, this can be poisonous and cause a lot of damage to their system.
6. Fortification (iron)
Enriched flour products contain iron. Excessive amounts of iron can be very toxic and cause a lot of damage.
7. Vegetable oil
Vegetable oils are highly inflammatory to the digestive system.
8. GMO grains
GMO grains are sprayed with glyphosate, which can irritate your digestive system.
9. Low stomach acid
If you don’t have enough acid in your stomach, it will cause food to go through undigested—causing problems. Try consuming apple cider vinegar and betaine hydrochloride.
10. Frequent eating
Intermittent fasting allows the gut to heal and rest.
Other than those things, try consuming moderate amounts of protein and keep your carbs low. Also, consume plenty of vegetables except if you have SIBO.

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. We're going to talk about why you may have sharp stomach pain that comes and |
| 0:48.5 | goes. There are actually 10 reasons for this specific symptom. The first one is somebody called SIBO. And that stands for |
| 0:56.8 | small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Now take a look at this. You have the small intestine right |
| 1:03.8 | here and you have the large intestine right here. Now normally, you're supposed to have all the |
| 1:09.8 | bacteria or most of the bacteria in the large |
| 1:12.6 | intestine and not the small intestine. Now, you'd have some bacteria in the small intestine, |
| 1:18.3 | but the majority is in the large intestine where it ferments, especially fiber. When you have |
| 1:24.4 | an imbalance, we have too many microbes in the small intestine. What happens when you eat, |
| 1:30.3 | especially probiotics, because you're actually taking microbes, or fiber as in vegetables, |
| 1:37.5 | when the fiber goes in here, the microbes start eating the fiber and start to create this fermentation. So you get all this gas |
| 1:47.3 | and the microbes also will compete for the nutrients. So you end up becoming deprived of nutrients |
| 1:55.1 | because they're pretty much eating everything that they see. Normally you're not supposed to |
| 1:59.9 | have all those microbes in here. Instead, you're |
| 2:02.7 | supposed to have enzymes digesting the food from the pancreas and the lining of the small intestine, |
| 2:09.3 | and then breaking down the food, and 90% of it is supposed to be absorbed in the small intestine. |
| 2:15.2 | So the worst thing to consume when you have SIBO is vegetables. So this is a |
| 2:21.2 | good time to be a carnivore for a couple months so you can actually clean this thing out. And if you do |
| 2:27.9 | have SIBO, and I have videos on it, I'll put a link down below, you need to be taking betane hydrochloride to |
| 2:33.7 | acidify the stomach |
