This is the best video on SIBO that I have come across so far and I have seen many. As a clinical pharmacist, medical herbalist and nutritionist, with more than 25 years practice, I can only say that I will do my best to spread a word about you and this exceptional presentation. For us practitioners, it is quite often challenging to convince patients to give a chance to a few supplements in order to improve their condition. A good supplement without chemical additives or fillers are usually very expensive but also the most effective ones. We have also realised that without appropriate dietary guidelines and changes all the effort would only give short term results. No sugar and a very low carb diet is ultimate solution for a healthy gut. Thank you again for this amazing presentation. All the best to you and all your viewers.

[@magicf7076]

Supplements 😅😅 They don’t work ofcourse. Stop eating the sugary and fibre foods. Start eating animal protein and fats. That will drop your acid number in the correct range 0-3 ph. 100% that will help.

[@brendabrenner2891]

Excellent presentation.. good highlights w list of possibilities my gi would even know about , tu 🙏❤️

[@ScorpioR1sing]

I SO appreciate the level of detail in this video! Too many drs and practitioners operate on a surface level and never fix the root problem.

[@jac1161]

Yes. And in order to 'fix' a problem, one has to like to THINK. I was gaslighted before I knew the term, as a child, just asking questions because I wanted to learn. And what I learned was that there was a major humility (lack thereof) issue in the system - they didn't know the answer, but instead of "that is a good question. I do not know, but thank you for asking and I will be looking into that"....their insecurity was projected onto me. They messed up my life as a child that led to a burn out of an organ in adulthood. It's a crying shame....

[@ritagienapp8627]

Thank you for this video. I have recently been diagnosed with SIBO and just started on xifaxan. I leared about you from a friend. I have ordered your book Fast Tract Digestion. Thank you for explaining things so well. I feel very positive about your approach.

[@JonahManX]

Alicin, oregano oil, neem, berberine and I added wormwood+black walnut for parasite insurance! Works like a charm but I also use ACV+Lemon before meals, I use bile because yellow stool sucks and super enzymes! Also low fodmap, higher protein, I was able to put on 10lbs of weight in no time which was impossible before.

[@zuerich1876]

For how long did you this and did it come back or how long is it over? Thanks for an answer and kind regards

[@JonahManX]

@ protocol is 4-8 weeks, I noticed immediate improvement in wellbeing after the first dose and the following day my stool movement was totally normal(very weird considering its been years) another important thing is to avoid probiotics IF they cause discomfort, you can also try using probiotics FIRST and see if they help you. Its helped my family members and friends, ones who craved sweets at night and couldn’t handle spicy food no longer deal with these problems. Diagnosing SIBO is very hit or miss, I can only speak from personal experience. Constipation + Diarrhea that’s consistent, gasiness after FODMAP foods, burping as well(onion and garlic), night cravings, bad breath, fatigue after carbohydrate heavy meals. These are all symptoms of SIBO. Make sure to use probiotics after your protocol.

[@zuerich1876]

@ Thank you for the answer! Did you take the Alicin, oregano oil, neem, berberine and wormwood +black walnut all together in the morning and evening or how do you handle this? And did you now still eating low foodmap?

I sure wish I could speak with you. I basically diagnosed myself in 2014. I couldn’t convince doctors to refer me to a GI. I ended up writing several GI’s all over, before one agreed to send me a sibo test. I have higher levels of hydrogen and some methane. I’m finally seeing a GI where I live after waiting a year for my appointment. Now, I have so many more GI problems. I just feel like I haven’t been able live my life now for almost 10 years. I’m so limited on what I can eat. I just wish I could get help.

[@lotsoftorque3632]

@@hfaith81 Mine was undiagnosed for years as well, atleast 7 years from what I know. Celiac disease induced SIBO is a lot more common than people think, according the new research atleast 30% of celiac patients who don't see improvement after starting the gluten free diet have SIBO. I will tell you the best things that have helped me SIBO greatly so far. Oregano oil, Atrantil, Neem, Allicin, and recently soil based probiotics have seemed to help me a lot. Remember with probiotics they can take up to a few months of taking them everyday to see improvement. And they can also make you a bit worse when you first start taking them. But If you havn't tried any of these things yet I have listed, I suggest you do so to find yourself some relief. You can message me back and ask me if you are interested in knowing about the dosages.

The few naturopaths (one I follow online, the other see in person) has explained to me carnivore can seem to help bc your removing everything but does not help get the diversity back that you need in order to live a normal life. Or like the one commenter its just a bandaid. That's why so many carnivores I've watched realize they can't consume anything without a responce anymore. I say this bc I was trying to do carnivore when this all happened for me and the pendulum swung too far and I lost beneficial bacteria. What a new naturopath is recommending for myself is a strong probiotic a specific one (just ordered/can't remember the name) and I really hope it works. Alongside-ive been watching Dr Cabral here on YT. so I hope to get back to normal again

[@JamieR]

Glad you made this video Dr. Norm. It's incredible disheartening to see how many struggle with SIBO / Dysbiosis and MMC issues without even knowing the fix can be quite simple. For me personally, due to SIFO along with SIBO---the treatment is a little bit more muddled. Digestive Enzymes and HCL has only made things worse over time. The SIBO (giardia) did shift towards SIFO over the years. I dont accredit it to HCL specifically (impossible to know), but even yeast based probiotics now give me issues. I find it interesting. I could not digest foods without enzymes, now I don't use any and I digest just fine. Even big amounts of healthy fats. In the end, in my case, it seems to be an MMC issue post black mold exposure for 2-4 months. Causing a trickle down of CIRS, Sarcoidosis, MCAS, MCS and a whole host more. Along with CPTSD and Celiac as a base (since age 2). After connecting the dots, CIRS and MMC dysfunction as well as nervous system dysregulation---I feel like I finally have a roadmap on what needs to be addressed. Taken 14 years to figure it out, but finally getting a big picture as most doctors, nautorpaths, functional doctors etc have not been able to help me. I will devote my life to help others and delve deep into the mechanics of everything if I manage to heal.

[@Jewell55737]

[@YoungOne777]

Once again, returning months later for my wife whose sibo ended up turning into colitis so bad she passed out from the pain. Thank you so very much for this insight. It's very very much appreciated. Have her on Cipro, metro, Saccharomyces boulardii, and a multi probo called probiotic 10 by now sups that includes great strains. Fun fact Saccharomyces boulardii was also shown in studies to fight off multiple bad antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria in the gut, one notable one being C Diff. God bless you

[@cinzialbm]

Where did you get those strains and how many MC. Also has anyone studied bacteriophages to help with SIBO in place of antibiotics?

[@YoungOne777]

@cinzialbm The probiotic is called probiotic 10 by now supplements on Amazon, The saccharomyces boulardii is also by now supplements on Amazon. I find my studies on PubMed but I have not seen any specific to treating SIBO with just probiotics.

[@eatandchat7887]

Cipro is a fluoride based antibiotic which can do a lot...of damage. Find a non fluoride antibiotic.

[@mjrussell414]

I would also add that it is important to reduce your stress response as much as possible when you are trying to heal your gut. My naturopath recommended an adrenal support supplement which helped rid me of crippling anxiety. I also started a gentle exercise program including stretching, calisthenics and yoga, plus walking my dog down my peaceful country road. I was also having worrying gastrocardiac issues that I only found out recently are related. The deep breathing of relaxing and meditative yoga, helps those symptoms as well. I have found some tummy issues have come back I think because I have reintroduced too many not so healthy foods back into my diet, plus sometimes I take ibuprofen for back and neck issues which cause headaches, and those cause inflammation of the stomach lining. So I think it’s time to go back on a more restrictive diet plan, and be more strict in the future.

My husband’s breath has smelled like mothballs since this last October. He was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease last year. Both his dentist and ear nose and throat dr can’t explain why this may be happening. Other than inflammation in his nasal passages. Could SIBO be what’s making his bath smell like this?

May I please suggest to anyone suffering from h pylori along with SIBO or other stomach issues that you take mastic gum 1000mg everyday on an empty stomach. Along with a carnivore diet 90 days. I also took papaya enzymes with every meal. 1 before, during and after meals. God bless and best of luck. ❤

Great information. How do you approach the doctor to test for root causes of SIBO/ IMO. Was just diagnosed through breath test using lactulose.

Hello Victoria, Have you received any answers to this question you posted? I’m almost positive I have IMO and I am hoping my Dr will test for it. Would you mind sharing your symptoms and what is and what’s not working for you? I’m miserable and looking for answers. Thank you.

@@reneetroggio1505 Hello Renee, I have not received a response yet. Would love to know how, or if there is a test for diagnosing IMO. Been suffering with my symptoms since 2017. Feels like I am worse now. Bad gas pains, intestinal pain from the gases. Sometimes nausea. But what concerns me is the loss of weight.☹️ The Gastro doctors I’ve seen tell me I am just backed up and need a good cleansing and prescribe Mirilax. I do believe I have a motility problem, but these doctor’s have not prescribe anything else. I have been depressed from not getting the help I need. Not sure what else to do.

I had gastic bypass. I think I developed sibo after. It's been quite a journey

[@jac1161]

that surgery should be outlawed. NO DOCTOR is looking at the root - AT all and that's a surgery that will leave one so malnourished, if not bulimic due to not fixing the compulsive eating addiction, which it is. I"m so sorry you were misled, truly. It breaks my heart. My aunt had it, and as a nurse, I saw the issues in many patients. It's so rough :( And my aunt was anemic with thalassemia, to boot. A big no -no. I wonder if there are options to reverse it...I'd look into it!

[@Raquel_98]

If you only treat it with herbal antimicrobials such as berberine, allicin and oregano oil, do you need probiotics afterwards or would it not be necessary? The thing is that other times I have tried probiotics for other reasons and they have made me feel bad or I have not felt anything, so I have no idea which one could make me feel bad.

[@DrNormGutHealth]

Interesting question Raquel. Keep in mind that most current probiotics are based on strains that are easy to grow, freeze dry and commercialize, and don't (with a few recent exceptions - A. muciniphila for example) include keystone anaerobic strains. Pharma antibiotics disrupt the commensal microbiome leading to dysbiosis and potentially life threatening complications - Yes, we need them for serious infections, but there is always risk. Antimicrobial herbs, while less potent likely cause similar if muted disruption. The study linked below showed that probiotics actually slow microbiome recuperation after conventional antibiotics. You might expect the same after herbal antimicrobials. What I find fascinating is the concept and potential of autologous FMT (banking your own poop) before antibiotics. FMT resulted in "rapid near-complete gut mucosal microbiome recolonization". www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(18)31108-5?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS0092867418311085%3Fshowall%3Dtrue#%20

[@ritahall2378]

I was Dx with IBS at age 14 Still suffering with idiopathic symptoms 50 years later

[@violetcountry]

After three years, I think I finally discovered that I have SIBO. It all started when I was taking PPI Emozul causing low stomach acid. After taking that I could not eat, lost weight, and the worst thing developed hypoglycemia. Now I can't take a breath test to get diagnosed because of low blood sugar. I have a lot of symptoms like brain fog, can't gain weight, joint pain, bloating, constipation, acne. I am 32 years old and can't even work. I can manage the symptoms by eliminating foods like gluten, sugar, and vegetables. I am also lactose intolerant. I take some bitters to help with digestion. I don't know what to say to my doctor that he will prescribe me antibiotics. Any thoughts, please? Thank you for such an informative video!

[@violetcountry]

@Sander Lawrence That is amazing! Yes, never give up. That is what am telling myself. Unfortunately, I live in Europe (Slovenia), so I can't just make an appointment. For now, am trying to get some help here. Did you actually go to his office? Or is it possible to do it online?

[@bradl5055]

I had very similar symptoms. Get your dr to do an Organic Acid Test. It will show an accurate result of what the root cause is. I starting taking butyric acid, clove caplsules, and drinking apple cider vinegar 3 tbsp a day. Ate a high fiber whole food diet and started taking resistant starch. Around 3 weeks in i started noticing results that were really positive. The first week was very rough and caused severe anxiety but i stuck with it.

[@violetcountry]

@@bradl5055 That is interesting. Unfortunately getting that test is not available in my country. Am sure my dr has never heard of it. Even for SIBO, I had to tell him. Am going to start with Rifaximin and then start taking bitters (Bitter Kraft or Iberogast), Betain HCl, and ginger along with a proper diet. I have taken all that before and it did help to some point. But I also took probiotics which made my symptoms worse. I had no idea that it is a no if you have SIBO. I am glad your issues got resolved!

@@violetcountry Hi I also live in Slovenia, Ljubljana since I’m studying here and I think i have had sibo for the past 5 months, due to the accuracy of the symptoms.

Cause I have been to multiple doctors in Ljubljana and they all were confused and had no idea what was the cause.

[@violetcountry]

@@teodora2376 Hi, yes I went to a random gastroenterologist in Ljubljana at the clinical center. It was thru insurance and I waited a year. I have told him my story about SIBO otherwise, he would not even mention that. He doesn't know much about it. I could not do the SIBO test due to hypoglycemia. But I insisted and told him my symptoms etc. and he prescribed me Rifaximin. So, for you, I'd suggest taking the SIBO test at Diagnostični center Bled. It is the only place in Slo where it is available and it is not for free. 35eur I think. I also think I have candida overgrowth which the symptoms are similar to SIBO. I paid for a candida blood test at SynLab in Lju. I am waiting for the results. But am starting now with Rifaximi on Saturday. Really make your own research. What are your symptoms and main issues? What do you think started your problems? What are you studying if I may ask? :)

Can bile acid deconjugation be the same as bile reflux which causes gastritis? This is the closest so far I've heard anyone talk about bile acids in reference to gut health and SIBO, except for very few who are also suffering but not doctors. I can see how bile reflux could cause SIBO but wondering, could it be the other way around as well? Can sludgy bile, bile that doesn't flow well cause the pyloric valve to malfunction? (I know there's other causes like ulcer and/or scarring or possible other obstructions, but barring those). Like with the LES valve that opens when it's not supposed to because of lack of stomach acid, can the same hold true for the pyloric valve weakening because the bile isn't working correctly?

[@jac1161]

H Pylori is fixed with Biocidin. There is definnitely a connection. Everything is connected! Gastritis is inflammation of the gastric track. Do you drink alcohol? Do you vomit often (bulimia or just nausea and vomiting from the symptoms?). You need a good naturopath or gut literate practitioner (I prefer nurse practitioners) to help you fix all this. It's possible. It will take time, discipline, etc but you can do it!
