Methane Dominant SIBO - Symptoms, Testing & Natural Treatments

www.byronherbalist.com.au/app...
Methane dominant SIBO, also known as methane SIBO or constipation SIBO is a form of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. The microbe generally responsible is an archaea called Methanobrevibacter smithii. It has the ability to convert hydrogen, supplied in abundance in the gastrointestinal tract, into methane which can slow down gut transit time resulting in constipation. Common symptoms of methane SIBO include constipation and bloating. Abdominal pain, fatigue and nausea may also be present. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth is best tested for with a breath test using lactulose or glucose as a test sugar. Natural treatments include probiotics, prebiotics and herbal medicines such as cinnamon, oregano leaf and fresh garlic.

I have what might be one of the worst SIBO. Cases in medical history. I was either born with SIBO or acquired it shortly after birth. I also have a condition called selective IgA deficiency (a genetic defect) which is incurable and untreatable and which is highly likely to lead to gut permeability and to SIBO. When I finally got tested for SIBO, both kinds were completely off the charts, one of the worst and most complex cases my gastro had ever seen and he's a specialist. Needless to say, after two years on all kinds of herbals as well as a month of antibiotics twice, and a very strict diet, nothing I have tried has ever made even the tiniest dent in the condition. I stopped trying to treat it and then discovered strict carnivore. Within days the fog cleared and my chronic fatigue which I seem to have also been borne with started to improve, but it's not a cure. It does roll my symptoms back about 90% if I don't cheat and about 75 % if I do cheat a little.

Thanks for the comment! We have good data showing phgg improves eradication rates and I use it in most SIBO cases successfully. On the other hand raw garlic may be too much for some. It is very much the good (strongly antimicrobial) outweighing the bad (fodmap food). Hope that helps!

So organo leaf tincture is less harsh than oregano oil? I was actually taking a fair amount of oregano oil in capsules when I started having digestive issues.

I can eat raw garlic and add organic Ceylon cinnamon to my coffee, oatmeal and yogurt daily.

[@dominik6416]

before you even hit the basket on any herb sales platform and pharmacies I want t remind any sibo patient of the much more important factor that probably most people with this problem are working in a seating position and they do not move during the day.. so sport and bowl movement is most of the time the main issue as well as stress.. If you have a bad relationship or high and constant stress.. It likely might be that this gets on your gut and your problem is on the psychosomatic side and not so much related to an unbalance caused by food choices.. more often our life styles and stress are the real cause and you can use as much herbs and other things and try to treat it.. but the actual solution is to take break, learn to relax and step back from any stress. my sibo tends to be better on vacation for some reason.. I guess its a combination of movement and relaxation that is working for me.. I tend to get most of my symptoms from stress and i tried many pills and spend thousands of dollars. In the end nothing helped.. been through rifaximin and pro biotics in various combinations.. Allicin pills are just expensive and did not help me at all and raw garlic was giving me even more bloating. Oregano oil on the other hand was helping me. If you take 3 to 5 drops and you mix it with olive oil and water before you drink it, you can take it in without the crazy burning of it. I tend to use organic oregano oil from greece.. be careful with the brands because there is a lot of bad quality oils out there.. Oils in general helped me best and did been good to consume.. again i am still a patient and not cured.. and probably never will :) dont fall for the buy this trick of these doctors if there would be an effective treatment, insurance companies would pay and advice for it and there would not be so much different treatments out there.. I think it also is some kind of a money making scheme for gastroenterologist these days... The internet is full of solutions for your problems, people do take advantage of that..

problem 1: garlic is a no-no for low fodmap, so how does that help treat it? problem 2: cinnamon is a no-no for histamine issues I used to have both daily until diagnosis after breathe test, then had to stop. so this is confusing for me. What are your thoughts on psyllium husk ?

Being this post is 4 years old, you may not see the question. I have severe histamine intolerance. Cinnamon and garlic trigger histamine. I can eat oregano. Do you have additional ideas for Methane SIBO treatment? Thank you.

My daughters naturopath prescribed GI motility complex, which is a blend of artichoke, ginger extracts and apple cider vinegar powder. She also said to take digestive enzymes. My daughter is 11, constipated since toddlerhood. Is that the right choice of treatment in your opinion? Thanks

The GI Map showed a high number of the methanobacteria by the way

[@gabrielazunino8998]

If you have a plant, you can make your own. It's quite simple.

Hello thanks for the video. Can Sibo cause high calprotectin levels?

[@anakaterina3741]

No calprotectin means you have inflammation in your bowel. Some form of IBD

I have had horrendous nausea, gastritis and heart burn occasionally choking and no appetite for 1 year. Had excessive methane production on my sibo test. Starting 2 week rifaximin next week. I really hope it works :'( take garlic and oregano supp and liquorice supps too

How is it going?

[@sarahh3061]

@@hulabob6975 Slightly better. Ive had 2 courses of antibiotics, first course Rifaximin did nothing. Second was Rifaximin and neomycin which gave me bad nausea and bad diarrhoea. I now no longer feel nauseous from the sibo but still belching a lot have no appetite and constipated. Im on low fodmaps and been on herbal antimicrobials which I feel are not doing anything however I realised the oregano oil I was using was useless so I recieved a really powerful one inb the post yesterday and GOOD GOD it blew my head off XD. I suspect a biofilm has formed because Ive been unwell for like a year and a half which is potentially why I think my response to the antibiotics was meh. The antibiotics (1st and 2nd) and the prokinetic prucalopride with the second lot cost me £700 to £800 so Im hoping the biofilm disruptors Ive bought and improved oregano oil might blast a whole in this damn thing
