Common SIBO Symptoms | Are You Methane or Hydrogen Dominant SIBO?

[@Merururuu]

I've been struggling with Methane SIBO for 3 years now, tried anti-biotics twice, and SIBO spesific (low carb fodmap-ish) diet but it always relapsed. I feel like we're only sliencing it and not actually removing it. I wish you had services for international patients too! It's really hard to find doctors who know what they are doing when it comes to SIBO. My doctors never asked about how it started, never looked into why i have it... Losing hope slowly, but also not giving up.

[@melriini8280]

Don’t antibiotics make gut/sibo worse??

[@Merururuu]

Not really, it's common practice to use rifaximin, and sometimes neomycin with it for treating SIBO. I had great results, but it relapsed. So, in my experience, it does help with killing the bacteria, but it doesn't solve the main issue WHY you had SIBO in the first place, so it comes back.@@melriini8280

Thank you so much for talking so well about SIBO. In most countries people, including doctors, don't even know what it is. I've been struggling with Methane SIBO for a while and your videos really help!!

Hi Byron, my 8 yr old daughter is suffering with IMO and SIBO relapse after 14 months of wellness. She is in daily pain, excruciating at times, and psychologically suffering. At that age, I worry about the additional unseen damage/trauma. Do you see pts via video visit? We’re in the U.S. I’ve done so much research and am getting her onto your fundamentals protocol for methane slowly.. I can’t put her on high dose ginger or PHGG but I do have her on Motility Activator by Integrative Therapeutics BID and very low dose PHGG along with her many other supplements including carefully selected probiotics. I am desperate to help my child. It’s breaking me.

[@susanhegazi7400]

4 weeks transit time! I hope she is better.

[@refreshingtwist]

Weird. I just scored hydrogen dominant, but listening to this video, methane dominant explains me to a T.

[@junegagnon6506]

Hello Byron! I don't live in Australia. I live in Canada. The cost to see s Sibo specialist or Naturopath here is not affordable for me. I believe i have methane sibo as i only seem to have a bowel movement every 3 or 4 days. I had an event after taking prescription antibiotics a few.months after taking them where i got diahreah for about a month and was basically in bed . Was taking a gowt milk probiotic but ut didn't help. Finally got the correct refrigerated probiotic and all the symptoms improved in 3 days. This was quite a long time ago(many years). And ever since that event my bowels functioning have continually gotten worse and to this point. I have tons of sensitivies with foods, skin care products etc. I want to get better. I just don't know where to start when having to do it all on my own. The EOnutrition fellow said in his vlogs that taking B1 mught just fix the problem. But i am sure there has to be more to it. Can you offer any suggestions ir help. I so would appreciate any advice as i feel like i am at such low feelings and its almost unbearable... thank-you...June 😢

[@vananhoannguyen1378]

Try to use specific strain of probiotics that target your problem. I have methane sibo too and use BioGaia (Lactobacillus Reuteri), Digestive Advantage (Bacillus Coagulans), as well as Bifidobacteria Lactis HN019 for the slow gut transition. I‘m getting almost symptomless with these products. It’s very important to prevent relapse and find the root cause (mine is low stomach acid). I make Lactobacillus Reuteri yogurt out of the BioGaia capsule and consume everyday (A doctor recommended this method to prevent relapse in his book Super Gut)

[@junegagnon6506]

@@vananhoannguyen1378 thank-you so much for your suggestions!! It's true you have to find the root cause. A little unsure of my root cause. My birth story was not typical of most. Caesarian section and no vaginal delivery. So right off the bat I didn't get what I needed and too much stress as a child. So many things can add up in our unique stories for sure. That is so good to hear you are pretty well symptom free!! Thanks again for sharing your experiences with me!!🙋

[@vananhoannguyen1378]

@@junegagnon6506 birth with C section would indeed cause constipation, according to Dr William David. Consider getting his book Super Gut and he talks about how to deal this problem ☺️ I remember he said about babies born with C Section lacks of bacteria strain (Bifidobacteria infantis) which will put them at lots of disadvantages later in life, so supplying with Bifidobacteria infantis may help your problem

[@stxrrydayz]

I have methane dominant SIBO and i’m on Rifaximin and Allimed. I finished the Rifaximin, I just need to do the Allimed for 2 more weeks. I’ve also been on the SIBO Bi-Phasic diet. Even though I’m Methane dominant, I would say rather than bloating and constipation (though I do experience some bloating, and sometimes constipation), my main thing is I have really awful smelling gas. Like the worst rotten eggs ever, and it’s so embarrassing. It would feel like after anything I ate, eventually I could feel my lower intestines starting to bubble and then eventually that awful gas would come. Even though the gas has reduced and the smell of the gas is not nearly as bad since being on my treatment, I still feel that bubbling sensation sometimes, and it makes me worried because I feel like if I were to try reintroducing different foods, the awful smelling gas will come back and the bubbling will happen more often again. What is your take on this? Thank you

[@dani_reviews]

Is Your SIBO Cured by eating Rifaximin and Allimed. My Dr has Recommended me Xiafixamin and Flagyl For treatement of SIBO. I would really like to hear your case . Thank you

[@melriini8280]

I have constipation n bad bloating a lot if the time. I feel like I may as well starve at this point 😫

[@Goldies86]

Great info!! Saving for later! QUESTION: Aside from the bloating, constipation, low motility, etc., have you found that chronic nausea is often a symptom that many Methane SIBO patients experience? That is probably my worst symptom out of all of them, on top of food sitting in my stomach longer than usual.

[@ByronHerbalist]

thanks so much! Yes nausea is a common enough symptom. I would explore delayed stomach emptying with your symptoms. This could be methane driving this too

[@DustinMont]

For methane dominant SIBO, is the treatment basically 1)pro-kinetics (ginger + artichoke, magnesium citrate) to speed up transit time 2) oregano & allicin to kill overgrowth. Am I missing anything?

[@ByronHerbalist]

thats a good place to start for many. It can be quite treatment resistant for some so advanced therapies can help

Lot of gas too

[@ByronHerbalist]

yes indeed. That could definitely be methane. Breath testing is key for a deeper insight into what the driver is

[@rigobertobarraza4014]

Thankyou for your informational video, i would like to know if I have sibo and how to fix it

[@suchimodi4739]

All over the Internet... best of the best ppl are also talking about only and only either constipation with less bowel movements or diarrhea with urgent or multiple bowel movements in a day. Not a single one is talking about having diarrhea type stool whenever they have bowl movement but still not having urge to pass the stool and having incomplete evacuation as if there is no pressure and this is despite of having stool type 5 or 6 everyday 🤦‍♀️

[@ByronHerbalist]

That’s a tough symptom for sure!

[@angelikabornett9920]

What about SIBO breathtest negative because of no rising of methane and hydrogene, but a preexisting high methane (also in fructose test), heavy bloating after eating and tiny bits of hard stool with every urinating several times a day? IMO? What to do?
