Summary

The elemental diet is a unique pre-digested, hypoallergenic formula that helps heal the gut. Research shows that an elemental diet can lower inflammation in the gut and joints and starve overgrowth of bacteria and fungus (decreasing SIBO). There are a few different ways to use the elemental diet, contrary to popular belief, it does not have to be all or nothing for two weeks in order to see benefit. Most elemental diets contain around 60 grams of carbs per serving. Our Low Carb Elemental Heal formula contains added healthy fats and only 20 grams of carbs per serving. https://drruscio.com/?p=56093

0:57.6	and alter bowel function. And also, some evidence suggests they're helpful for joint pain
1:03.1	and for inflammatory bowel disease. And these elemental diets, these liquid meal replacements, are actually one of the most effective
1:13.9	therapies for those who have not optimally responded to preliminary interventions like diets
1:21.9	and probiotics.

1:37.8	carbs per serving. What is special and unique about elemental diets? Well, firstly, they are hypoallergenic, meaning they are devoid of common irritants that can

1:59.0	Thirdly, the contents are predigested, meaning the proteins are broken down, the carbohydrates are broken down. There is little to no fiber. And why this is helpful is because it can starve bacteria and fungal overgrowths in the gut. And this can actually be a very helpful and
