Enzymes and IBS? [3:32] Ken says: Talk to us about enzymes Robb. I&#39;ve played with alot of different things over the years to help with IBS issues. For a long time I was devoted to probiotics but I never found any real consistent results with them. I took a stool test a year or so ago and discovered that literally none of the strains of probiotics I had so diligently taken (and paid for) were significantly present. Along the way anti fungals and anti parasitic medication (Dr Rx&#39;d) helped calm the fire down below but it was enzymes that seem to seem to have made the final difference for me. Not only is the fire largely out I&#39;ve really not had to keep up with taking enzymes like I did with probiotics. To be fair to probiotics they seem to help in the moment but I get the sense you have to take them daily which does not seem to be the case with enzymes. I should mention I know several people that have had the same experience with probiotics and enzymes. My question then is what is the mechanism at work? I get that enzymes help break down foods but why would that help with IBS symptoms and furthermore why would those symptoms be largely gone after only 6 months or so of using them but not taking them daily even?   2. Squat Pooping and Toilet Training [10:42] Terrence says: Hey Robb and Nicki! Loving the new Q&amp;A format! You have done such a great job educating the public on what to put in one end of their bodies that I want to take a moment to talk about how to get the most out of what comes out the other end! I am a first-time dad of a now 16-month-old, so that means we&#39;re starting to approach potty training. As we all know, the &quot;natural, paleo way&quot; of pooping is getting into that deep squat and letting fly. It&#39;s so obvious to me that this is the way we&#39;re meant to poop. I see it every morning: my little girl suddenly stops playing with her toys and drops into that ass-to-grass squat that my jiujitsu hips will never do again. By the time that thousand-yard stare creeps into her eyes, I&#39;ve already got one hand on my SLS-free baby wipes. Every parent has seen that, and yet every parent in this hemisphere insists on trying to get their kid going from this squat position to sitting on a porcelain platform with his/her feet dangling. The toddler naturally resists with a, &quot;what the hell do you expect me to do from here?&quot; look. Frustration ensues, but poop doesn&#39;t. It seems like transitioning our toddlers from diapers to seated toilets is yet another mismatch of nature in our modern civilization. For adults, it&#39;s easy to make a homemade platform or buy a Squatty Potty / similar product. But what&#39;s the plan for tots? I&#39;
