5 Things Patients Should Know About Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

a question hopping from the other side :D what's the song playing in the background at the beginning ?

I am always fascinated that the stomach pulls off the trick to digest the food without digesting itself.

Wouldn't a bacteriophage specifically designed to taget the exact klebsiella and e coli species be the best way to treat the sibo? And other gut bacterial infections/overgrowths as well? I dont know how much research is being done with phage therapy, but i would think in this era it is possible to genetically engineer bacteriophages for these bugs.

I have methane Sibo I strongly suspect but can’t affect a natural path Dr.
Conventional drs I have talked with don’t believe in it.
What options does a person like me have?

Thank you. This is fantastic. I am a 4 year suffer. Ordering the book now.

Are those 2 bacteria the same culprits that produce methane as well?

Anyone that suffers from SIBO / IBS/ Crohn , should check out a company called mBiota Elemental. They seem to have great evidence of their 2 week program.

Oh my gosh!
I am 68. I have been suffering since I was 16. I have been through so many tests with no positive solutions. The money I may as well just thrown out the window. I remember reading Dr Mark Pimental’s research when he was a man with dark black hair.
Tonight gastro girl’s channel caught my attention. Nothing new here. 😢

For me, when I eat right, I feel great. When I don’t I have loose stool, cramping, horrible gas and sometimes nausea along with lethargy. I absolutely know dairy and sugar are my worst. If I could get my eating under control I could get a handle on this. But I love to eat and all the wrong things!! This is all on me though. I need no medication just discipline!! I also have rheumatoid arthritis and it really flares when I eat the wrong things.

The underlying issues of gut problems : congenital malrotation/ malattachment of the gut. Hard to diagnose. Possibly connected -off midline fusion of the filum terminale found in 3 out of 27 normal cadavers according to neurosurgeons Hansasuta, Tubbs Oakes.
The off midline fusion stresses the cauda equina and can put a torque in the entire neural tube. So there can be a lower or upper motor neuron bowel. Expect higher rates in Chiari and Ehlers - Danlos people.

Every book I read and video I watch makes wildly different claims about sweeteners!?!? Now Aspartame is OK?

Cleared up IBS in about 6 weeks, All I did was slow my breathing. breath in ,inhale 4 seconds in the nose and exhale thru the mouth for about 6 seconds You will not do this if you don't believe it will work Do your homework, study the VAGUS Nerve on you tube or google it

There will never be a specific treatment for SIBO, Dr Pimentel has been studying for years and the only thing he does is Sell books, Breath Test and thus he continues to get richer, once you have SIBO it is a mark for life, how sad.

When I hear bloating is a symptom of SIBO if you are a female you need to know that bloating can also be a symptom of Ovarian Cancer. My wife was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer because of bloating. After a 30 month battle she lost the battle. Please if your doctor says your IBS and has not tested for Ovarian Cancer please get it checked.

What’s the insurance code so we can see if our insurance covers his test

need to know if monk fruit sweetener feeds sibo!

Thank you for this, Jacqueline!!!

You dont need drugs. 😒 SIBO is completely treatable with herbs, such as Oregano oil & Berberine, combined with a healthy diet. As per the science.

What book are they talking about? How do you get the book?

How do you get the Tri Smart test?

Wow, I am so glad I watched this! I have suffered from IBS on and off most of my life. I recently had a Camphlobacterium colitis infection and had a great resurgence in my symptoms. I was going to talk to my Primary Care doc into getting me a GI consult to see if maybe this is SIBO. Now I am not going to wait til my physical next week but will contact her on Monday. Thanks so much!

Oh geesh! I think I’m the Stevia queen! 😩

So what about sweet fruit

I want to stress how incredibly important it is to ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF. Odds are you will not be given the correct medication(s) for SIBO if you don't. Actually the odds are not good you will get offered the test if you don't even ask for it. I actually served up my symptoms to my doctor on a silver platter and he kept telling me to have fiber. So i went online and learned of SIBO. So i asked my doctor for the test and that's how i was able to find out. But that's not where it ends. I wasnt getting relief like i said and i looked at my own results to realize i have IMO which is similar but NOT the same as SIBO. Hence its own diagnosis. SIBO is specific to the small bowel whereas IMO is found anywhere in the digestive tract. Another reason to needing a systemic antibiotic. Rifaximin is not a systemic antibiotic. Anyways, when i brought this to my doctors attention, his response was: the test just said Hydrogen. What he meant was that the 6-word sentence from the lab just said "hydrogen sibo detected in this patient"
The distressing part is that my doctor didn't look at the actual numbers. Just the finding. It's traumatizing bc you think over and over to yourself "what if i hadnt looked?" "What if i hadnt looked up what the numbers mean?" And not only does it create stress, but fear that something else is going on and if YOU don't find it, you will suffer. So it leads to even more googling of symptoms and how to treat what you know you have and what you might also have and such. And it wont limit itself to SIBO. It will instill that fear across the board.

LOW FERMENTATION IS FLAWED!!!! IT SAYS ALL MEATS ARE FINE! NO! YOU WILL WRECK YOURSELF IF YOU EAT MEAT IF YOU HAVE HYDROGEN SULFIDE. TRUST ME. I KNOW. DARK MEAT CHICKEN AND TURKEY IS OK.

Mucolytics on the rise.

Straight to the point! Great video.

Yikes, Trio-Smart is $350 USD. Can't afford that. The book isn't released until April 2024, which feels like lightyears from now.

😢

Rediculous… people whine and cry to their doctor … as he shakes his head when they go home and eat chicken wings/ cheese/ pizza/ boxed potatoes/ pop tarts/ corn flakes etc etc etc …..

I had the breath test but unfortunately only for hydrogen and methane not hydrogen sulphide. The results showed extreme methane prepoonderance, almost normal hydrogen yet I have IBS D. Presumably I have diorrhea with methane and cant see the H²S. Is the trio breath test available in Germany and am I right in thinking that it is possible to have too much H²S and diorrhea?
An answer would be MUCH appreciated :)

This was amazing. Wonderful interview!

Is it only an intestinal issue?

Thank u so much for this video

Since when aspartame is okay? Aspartame is usually combined with a filler called maltodextrin -- these two cause systemic destruction to the entire body.

I have been suffering from all the symptoms mentioned in the interview
I am to have endoscopy and colonoscopy
My doctor is trying to figure out why I have been suffering from the last 2 months and it has gotten worse since the last month.
Is there anyway I can speak to this doctor

Hi
When you have bad odor in the poop is this the same problem with the 3 gases ?

That was brilliant thank you for a wonderful interview ❤
