You can put the FIRE out if you know how.
All disease begins in the gut.
—HIPPOCRATES, "The Father of Medicine"
All disease begins in the leaky gut.
The gut is not like Las Vegas. What happens in the gut does not stay in the gut.
— ALESSIO FASANO, MD, renowned Harvard pediatric gastroenterologist
I’m an Ohio State and Vanderbilt-trained MD gastroenterologist with more than four decades of experience practicing and educating health care professionals, my patients, and the public. I began practicing gastroenterology in the summer of 1977 in Columbus, Ohio, where I grew up. I have a passion and skill for bridging the divide between traditional and natural healing disciplines. I provide the best of mainline gastroenterology with integrative, functional, naturopathic, and complementary/alternative medicine. Learn more on my website:

Research confirms three important concepts directly relevant to your life:
• problems with gut-brain interaction have a lot to do with causation of chronic GI disorders,
• the resident microbes (gut microbiome) are very important for both gut and whole health, and
• we’re all in an epidemic of chronic gut and bodily symptoms, syndromes, illness, and disease with a root cause linking them.
Addressing young doctors, Albert Schweitzer, MD, Nobel Prize winning physician said,
The witch doctor succeeds for the same reason all the rest of us succeed. Each patient carries his or her own doctor inside of him or her. They come to us not knowing that truth.
We are at our best when we give the doctor who resides within each patient a chance to go to work.

About the Author
The IBS Guru:
Caring for and teaching those suffering with
IBS, SIBO, and gut microbiome related diseases
Dr Salt graduated from medical school at The Ohio State University and trained at Vanderbilt University Hospitals, where he also served as Chief Resident in Medicine. He is board certified in both internal medicine and gastroenterology. Dr Salt has had a life-long career focus upon, and expertise in, IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and, most recently, commonly associated gut microbiome dysfunction: SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), IMO (intestinal methane overgrowth of Methanobrevibacter smithii), EHS (excess hydrogen sulfide), and impaired gut barrier function ("leaky gut").
Dr Salt bridges the divide between traditional mainline gastroenterology and natural and holistic health disciplines. He is an integrative gastroenterologist—and there are very few—who recognizes the complementary benefit of combining the best of gastroenterology with integrative, functional, naturopathic, and alternative medicine.
