Introducing: The SIBO Spectrum

[@automaton111]

I will tell you what seems to be slowly helping me. I focus on protecting the mucus layer of the intestines before every meal in order to minimize any inflammation and leaky gut. 20 minutes or so before a meal I take DGL licorice, marshmallow root, and slippery elm. I increase the acidity in my system by adding a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to 2.5 cups of hot tea in between meals. I start the day with a silver fern brand probiotic that has all the right strains for rebuilding the gut biome. I take an akkermansia probiotic as well because my Thorne stool test showed I had very low levels as well as leaky gut. Two times per day I add L-glutamine and zinc carnosine to my tea. I recommend the Thorne stool test because it is very comprehensive and shows you more than just your gut bacteria levels. On top of all this I eat a wide variety of whole plant foods such as whole grains, one cup of berries per day, arugula, broccoli sprouts, whole fruit, etc so that the good bacteria have something to feed on. I take a motility supplement just in case. Going for a walk and doing meditation also help.

another question: what are the implications of an appendectomy on sibo?

[@jertho8482]

I’d like to know this too

[@brandensanchez572]

This woman is amazing

[@daniellai127]

kind of an unrelated question, but have you seen patients with covid induced sibo? what were their symptoms? I suspect I have covid induced sibo but my symptoms are all upper gi and mental. I have a flat line hydrogen/methane test as well as high desulfovibrio on stool test.

God damn this is confusing. How do I learn faster? Any suggestions on vagus nerve exercise vs yoga vs mental math at the same time?

Hi! great info. I would love to hear your take on Histamine Intolerance and elevated IgE levels. Thanks!

[@107judy]

Same here! 13:58

[@barbarapesti2464]

Same here!!

[@v.a.n.e.]

there is one minor problem, though. how can we get the bacteria to start causing symptoms by your SIBO categorization? they are known for not obeying the rules.

[@BT_life2]

Nonsense. SIBO by definition causes symptoms

[@jmc8076]

Various factors can trigger or cause it.

I love how you present your most informative videos that are easy to understand, in this very confusing world that we live in!!

Interesting discussion and I agree with you that SIBO isn't (and shouldn't be) a black and white, either/or issue. I was diagnosed with SIBO from a Gut Zoomer test ordered by an FMD. I didn't complain of any symtpoms - she just ordered it to assess my gut health. Half my colon was removed in the '90s as a result of a fulminating C.diff. infection (from taking an antibiotic), but I have NEVER had ANY GI symptoms either before or after that surgery. I also have Hashi's, but zero food sensitivities. So, the diagnosis is a mystery to me.

[@BT_life2]

It’s a garbage test then mate. Likely a false positive. Otherwise you’d have symptoms. Simple.

[@BT_life2]

Quite simply you don’t have SIBO. The test was a false positive. You’re welcome.

[@dmrd222]

I dunno. Thirty-two pages of often significant bacteria means *something*. But I appreciate your medical expertise.@@BT_life2

wow,you're so good at what you do. Found your account today and have been watching some videos.

[@jamieb5679]

I can't get rid of Methane Sibo and can not take garlic or oregano. How can I get rid of it?

[@moondrop3013]

What have you done to try to get rid of it?

[@jamieb5679]

@@moondrop3013 xifaxan and neomycin.

[@lowflyer145]

Is motility, as used in this presentation, the same as concept as Prokinetics? Thank you.

[@gaylaaustin7468]

Yikes! My colon was removed in 2001 and I just started antibacterial for SIBO Thanks for your videos

[@codiannsmith]

What about those of us in the green zone that respond well to low fodmap?

[@dianewilliams9729]

Saw a comment you made on Dr. Berg’s channel stating it ok to take meds if needed. I have celiac, recovering from SIBO, and took my first med this morning for hypothyroid. Within 15 minutes blast off in bathroom. Now concerned about starting the Levothyroxine. So frustrating since before being diagnosed with celiac had suffered from C-Dif from antibiotic. I am tired of, but thankful for, my bathroom! I was doing much better after the treatment for SIBO so I guess it understandable the stress with new meds.

[@Ane127]

You need a homeopath.

[@blueberrymuffintime1375]

where does d-lactic acidosis fit in with all of this? it's brutal

[@greyfoxzero]

Thats how they caught mine. All the testing was negative but when they did the d lactic acid labs and ammonia labs they finally caught it. It pretty much destroyed my life over nearly 8 years and I have all these deficiencies now.

[@blueberrymuffintime1375]

did you cure it?@@greyfoxzero

[@blueberrymuffintime1375]

@@greyfoxzero did you end up curing it?

[@greyfoxzero]

@@blueberrymuffintime1375 We thought it was incidentally "cured" after weeks in the hospital for a ruptured appendix and IV antibiotics however symptoms returned.

Correct the dysbiosis

Most welcome respected ma'am
