Episode description
What if your “IBS” diagnosis isn’t the truth… just a placeholder?
In this episode, Dr. Ken Brown breaks down a massively overlooked condition that could be behind chronic diarrhea, urgency, and gut dysfunction - bile acid malabsorption (BAM).
It affects millions of people, rivals conditions like celiac disease in prevalence, and yet… almost no one is testing for it.
You’ll learn:
- Why IBS is often a “trash can diagnosis”
- The real mechanism behind BAM (and why your body is working against you)
- How your gut’s “recycling system” can fail—and what happens when it does
- The 3 types of BAM (and which one most people fall into)
- Why traditional testing often misses it completely
- The simple, effective treatments that can change everything
If you’ve been told “everything looks normal”… but you know something isn’t right - this episode might finally give you answers.
👉 Because sometimes, it’s not your gut that’s the problem…
…it’s the diagnosis.
