Hi, Dr. Martin Rutherford, we're next segment of functional medicine back to basics. Last time we were talking about stomach and it's and its place in the great hierarchy of taking care of patients with functional medicine.



The the concept that I keep hoping to get to you is that there are a lot of moving pieces to this there's, an organization to it. You really need to in the beginning, when you attack a case kind of get a feel for what all the moving parts are for.



That particular patient is what we've been talking. We've talked about that there's. What we've, been talking about up until now, and and now we are at the pancreas and pancreas is kind of interesting.



Most people know pancreas relative to somebody who drinks too much acute pancreatitis. Most people know that that's, not a good thing, and that if you hear that you start making plans and not always, but it's, you know when their pancreas gets that bad.



It's. It's. You, it couldn't, frequently be a life in death situation. Most people know pancreas with diabetes, particularly diabetes type 1. People are getting real familiar with their pancreas, but it's.



Interesting. We don't normally see the pancreas being a huge huge player in our world as far as the necessity to start throwing pancreatic enzymes on it are our bovine pancreatic tissue at it or anything like that, because of the way that we dressed cases, The way that classic functional medicine should address cases symptoms of the pancreas.



I have a cheat sheet here. Okay, so difficulty digesting roughage our fiber okay and it's, not so not after protein. It's, a lot of it's very similar symptoms to lack of hydrochloric acid, which we talked about last week, and you get these symptoms after you.



But you get these symptoms after you digest a starch, not after its starch fibers. Not after you digest protein, okay, so difficulty digesting roughage and fiber indigestion and fullness lasting two to four hours after eating, because you're, not digesting those the roughage or the fiber pain, tenderness, soreness on the left side of the rib cage.



Okay, so pancreas actually goes from about here over. Can you see the kidneys I'm, not sure. If you can see this, it actually goes from here over all the way to here kind of behind the stomach, and so you can get it.



Excessive passage of gas can be a number of things, and but certainly if your pancreatic enzymes aren't doing their job, then you can get excessive passage of gas, nausea vomiting you get nausea and vomiting from the stomach.



You can get it from the liver. You can get it from anything that stimulates your vagus nerve, but you can get nausea vomiting from the pancreas, so it's, not like. Oh. I got nausea vomiting it's, the pancreas okay.



It's like you got to start looking around, go okay, it's. Can I do. I have no stomach problems. Pancreas problems, stool, undigested, foul-smelling mucous like and greasy and poorly formed, and and I'll, maybe kind of a little bit like the gallbladder.



Okay, it could kind of float. You're gonna find out why, in a second, because the gallbladder and the pancreas kind of work together and when one stops working the o...
