BEST and WORST Ways to Diagnose SIBO

You may be diagnosed with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) in a number of different ways. But, which one is the BEST, most scientifically accurate method? And which are the WORST methods- the ones that should send you running for the hills? In this video I will cover all the ways I've heard SIBO get "diagnosed" over the years- ranking them from best to worst.

Where does the Trios breath test fall on this accuracy spectrum?

I'm way passed the point of being bummed out about stool testing haha. I had a GI Map test done in September, not to diagnose SIBO specifically but to hopefully get a general idea of what the heck is wrong with me. It came back positive for many bacterial overgrowths, but I've never known exactly what that meant. I've been working with a nutritionist for months now, and was seeing positive results until I made a few too many dietary errors and ended up regressing a bit - that was my bad. Long story short, I'm getting sick of taking expensive supplements that don't seem to have much of a long lasting effect, and would like some concrete answers after 6 years of grief. Problem is, there isn't a doctor or specialist within 300 miles of where I live that even knows what SIBO or leaky gut is.

I was wondering if you have any thoughts on the connection between Endometriosis/PCOS ans SIBO? I follow Dr Kanayama (Haptic restorative treatment) at the New York Endometriosis Center ans he was recently talking about severe bloating during a woman's cycle when they have Endo, he explained many of his patients acrually experience this bloating due to SIBO. When you have Endometriosis, it can become extreme. I have just spent the last 2 days in bed because the bloating was so bad, painful and uncomfortable, I look as if im pregnant and have to shuffle to walk during this time, I also have long-term anemia. I'm starting my research now. Wondering if you have seen this connection yourself and if you know of any resources for SIBO with Endometriosis. Thank you so much.

I have all the symptoms of sulfide SIBO and my provider tested with the glucose test and said I have sulfide SIBO but now I’m paranoid I don’t and that the test wasn’t accurate and I’m afraid to treat it and make things worse. I also have a million other gut issues and they all sort of compete with one another. It’s so depressing and insanely stressful.

[@jamieb5679]

@MoonBeamLight What are the symptoms of sulfide SIBO?

[@88adf]

I hear you! I have years long history with GERD (maybe 2yrs ago?) now tackling H2S. I found this channel yesterday, have watched many videos and agree when she says start with the stomach, then the gut. she also talks a lot about the Gut brain axis - if you have a lot of trauma/stress you need to work on this as well. it's not a quick process since it was probably years of cumulative stress. its not just psychosomatic - you do need to treat them both though.

Sibo keeps coming back - I have underlying mold - I see this is common- any advice? I’m super sensitive to mold treatments- thanks - so glad I found you!!

[@pammahlenhoff5550]

Thanks for this info but how does that help the poor people that can’t afford specialized care 😢

[@iwabyrdezias_7206]

❤coloronic therapy...what are your thoughts?

[@Take_care_everyone]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I noticed you said that prokinetics can be used for those with motility issues caused by trauma for like about 8 or so months… is this treatment option worth a try? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJvMoJqNr9t5ns0si=qjG4xPo26fOzK7oy I suspect I have an impaired migrating motor complex because I stressed way too hard for my health that I probably ended up with mild chronic erosive gastritis. I did a stool test, and I have this biosis in a yeast presence in my body 😱

12:31 this video 2 wks ago would’ve saved me $225 CAD. My intuition said don’t do it but a long time acquaintance who’s a clinical dietitian advised it. Free one thru public system only tested for H2. I guess I’ll have to wait for next scope and ask for biopsy?? I give up.

[@POS3278]

You mentioned in your video that you have a condition. Was it celiac or Crohn's? My son has Crohn's and I'm thinking about enrolling him in your program. Do you target people like that?

I took Silver fern Cleanse for 2 mos. Diarrhea finally went away after 6 mos of losing 14lb & alot of my hair, told Dr my Diarrhea is back & i have a white tongue she said thare was nothing wrongi just have reflux, im wondering if ive been on low fodmap food

[@curiouscat544]

It is very difficult to find out the root cause for the sibo/leaky gut. I don't think I will ever know after dealing with this for so many years. It's the million dollar question. All the possible causes mentioned in the videos do not apply to me.

[@Ekkiert8]

That’s my kind of Dr. science vs fancy advertising cherry picking info to create and back up your ‘Product’🌸 Thank you DiNazzi🩷

[@107judy]

I’m curious as to whether a fructose breath test is accurate for fructose intolerance. My sister was diagnosed based on symptoms and eliminated almost all fruits from her diet. I suspect I have developed a similar problem based on symptoms from certain FODMAPS. I may or may not have IMO diagnosed on a Lactulose breath test, but it may very well be s false positive that you mentioned.

[@nps2512]

My partner suffers from this great vid Helps a lot

[@anthonyd9426]

Would love a video on how accurate h pylori testing is. I don’t trust the GI map at all anymore and not sure if breath testing is actually accurate

[@betsymcmurray727]

Thank you for your awesome information!!!

[@Tonia-nd4bk]

Is it possible that a lactulose or glucose Sibo test is false-negative? Greetings from Germany :)

[@POS3278]

I've heard the glucose can give false-negative

[@jmc8076]

Yes ~40-50%. Biopsy is gold standard but hard to get.
