Addressing bloating at the root cause takes time - gut health, motility, constipation, diarrhea

I hear it all the time: “I wake up in the morning with a flat stomach and then several hours later I look like I’m 6 months pregnant.” ⁠.⁠I’m not going to lie. This has been a tough one for us to get our arms around and find a true solution. ⁠.⁠1️⃣ Address Motility Issues (if they exist) with Artichoke Leaf Extract, Gutgard Licorice Flavonoids, and Ginger Root Extract (20% gingerols). Gentle fiber is low-FODMAP for those with SIBO and IBS issues⁠2️⃣ Load Up on Immunoglobulins for 8 Weeks⁠3️⃣ Combine Immunoglobulins and True Probiotic for 6-9 months⁠.⁠The magic for bloating...

Are you skeptical about large, expensive protocols? - gut health, probiotics, IBS, IBD, SIBO, candida

Here are some thoughts:⁠1. When in doubt test it out. Before buying a full protocol, it is fine to buy 1 product or consider taking our quiz to help determine where to start and ease into products. The Silver Fern Quiz is all about helping people ease into our products before jumping into a massive protocol. Easing into new products is totally fine. (Link in profile)⁠2. All protocols come with ways to save money on them. ⁠3. If you are doubtful that’s okay. I’ve got thousands of people that are. In about 5-6 months, you can ask about results from...

What happens if someone has really bad SIBO, IBS, and IBD issues and can’t handle fiber and prebiotics? Meaning, what if fiber and prebiotics really hurt their stomach? ⁠.⁠As many of you, I always have a hundred questions too. I have probably had the same doubts, concerns, worries, and skepticism that you are all having. ⁠.⁠I’ve been working very actively with our science team on our protocols for SIBO, IBS, IBD, autoimmune, severe bloating, bad bacteria imbalances, and bad leaky gut issues for the last 6 months.

Managerial vs. reseeding probiotics, what are the health benefits? - gut health, leaky gut

I’m asked about probiotics daily. While reseeding probiotics loaded with tens of billions of CFUs of various lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains do have benefits, I much more strongly suggest the use of true managerial probiotics that use a few key strains with much higher survivability for an initial gut clean up and build out. .True managerial probiotics will address gut bacteria imbalances, inflammatory issues, and leaky gut issues (which are the core of most gut problems). With probiotics there are categories of crappy, good, better, and best. Choosing a crappy one will make a person feel good that they are...

Imagine a hair product that is not only exceptional at hair growth (as well as nail growth and skin care), but also helps provide many additional benefits like helping upregulate production of glutathione. Keratin (Keragen-IV™) can help with both areas. .Another key ingredient for both hair and skin health that also helps with digestive problems is sea buckthorn berry because it is full of omegas -3, -6, -7 and -9.

(Personally, we don't love sucralose because of the effects it has on the gut but know many people consume it daily.)⁠.⁠BUT next time you reach for a pre workout loaded in sucralose or a diet soda, please be mindful it may be doing opposite of what you really want it to be doing like:⁠👎🏼 Increasing obesity⁠👎🏼 Increasing appetite⁠👎🏼 Increasing metabolic dysfunction⁠👎🏼 Decreasing insulin sensitivity⁠👎🏼 Promoting IBS⁠👎🏼 Increasing inflammation⁠.⁠Solution: If you are going to be loading up on fitness supplements loaded...

9 Signs of Mold Exposure - immunoglobulins, antibodies, probiotics

9 Signs of Mold Exposure - immunoglobulins, antibodies, probiotics

When a mold toxin (or any antigen/toxin) enters the body, the “…immune system calls out for antibody protection.” (Reference: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/22971-antibodies#).Antibodies (or immunoglobulins) from breastfeeding mothers are how babies get a natural immune system boost..Normally when the immune system is fighting something, antibodies are elevated in blood work. In this case, the increase in antibodies is seen as bad because it means that the body is trying to defend against a problem..What many don’t realize is that by consuming serum-derived bovine immunoglobulins (SBI/Immunoglobulins), one can dramatically reduce mold toxins in the body in a positive way..Also, there is a specific probiotic...

The scientifically proven answer to that is, “Yes.” An immunoglobulin concentrate should be absolutely (in my opinion) used to help with all gut issues. ⁠.⁠The real question with using immunoglobulins is whether a person should start with them?

Addressing motility is key in helping with IBS issues - probiotics, diarrhea, constipation, SIBO

To address gut issues, always start at the beginning and address the underlying causes as part of any gut health program.. There is a general belief that “…gut dysbiosis, including small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), causes IBS symptoms.” (Reference: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5347643/#) .“Many esophageal diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux, appear to be driven by a dysregulated esophageal microbiome, new research indicates.”“However, the investigators now think that an altered microbiome is not a marker for these diseases, but a cause.” (Reference: https://www.gastroendonews.com/In-the-News/Article/07-21/Paradigm-Shift-In-GERD-Esophageal-Illnesses-/63914).Unlike other companies that always use probiotics as step 1 for every gut issue, at Silver Fern™ Brand we help address issues like...

For everyone who thinks that antibiotics are a complete wrecking machine on the gut, they definitely do a number on gut health..Sometimes they are necessary. They just are.

There are 2 parts needed to fully address acid reflux & heartburn - gut health, acid blockers, upper GI Relief

Has anyone noticed that food intolerances and sensitivities seem to go along with reflux/heartburn?⁠.⁠This is because food intolerances and sensitivities trigger reflux/ heartburn. The problem is that food intolerances and sensitivities take longer than a couple months to help address.⁠.⁠Acid blockers are super convenient and cheap. They plug a hole for reflux/heartburn fast. The long-term side effects may not be desirable, but they work quickly. Natural solutions take more time. ⁠.⁠For people just barely encountering reflux/heartburn issues or for those that haven’t jumped into using acid blockers, a plan can be effectively used relatively quickly. ⁠.⁠For those deciding to get...

Why is it so difficult to get off of acid blockers? - gut health, indigestion, heartburn, reflux

Rebound Acid Hypersecretion (RAHS) is the technical term for why acid blockers are so difficult to get away from. I call this the rebound effect of using acid blockers. To sum up, when a person goes off of acid blockers, they get a massive spike in acid production (increased acid secretory capacity), which causes a person’s stomach to burn like crazy.⁠.⁠Here is the problem: acid blockers for short-term use are generally safe but are problematic when used long-term. Once a person gets on them it can be quite difficult to get off of them again. For this reason, I wonder...
