As I always say, too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. This is true when it comes to SIBO ❗️ Too much good or bad bacterial flora in the small intestine produces a number of gastrointestinal symptoms that interfere with your normal digestive process. SIBO symptoms can range from digestive imbalance to chronic illness and autoimmune conditions. Here are the main symptoms you might experience: Gas, Bloating, and Diarrhea: Once in the small intestine, the bacteria feed on undigested food and produce either methane or hydrogen, depending on which type of bacteria overgrows. Abdominal Pain: SIBO causes inflammation in your digestive tract, which can lead to painful symptoms such as abdominal pain and cramping. Constipation (much less common than diarrhea): SIBO can disrupt the natural gut flora, which affects your ability to eliminate waste and lead to constipation. Food Intolerances: Intolerances such as gluten, casein, lactose, fructose, and particularly histamine intolerance. SIBO causes dysmotility, which inhibits your ability to properly digest foods and allows both food and bacteria to sit in your digestive system for longer, further exacerbating inflammation. And more. Are you experiencing any of these symptoms and suspect it might be SIBO? If so, take my free SIBO quiz to find out (link in bio). My goal is to empower you with knowledge so you can combat your symptoms of SIBO and take back your health in the long term!

Start giving a 💩 about your 💩👇🏼 As a naturopath, I LOVE talking about poo! Why? It tells you so much about what’s going on inside that gut of yours. One of the biggest things I ask my clients to do is look into the toilet bowl and start looking at their poop. Yes, I know it may sound weird for some but your poop is an insight into your current gut health! So what does your poop mean? 👉🏼Small little drops and not one big easy poop - indicates constipation meaning you need some digestive support. 👉🏼 Undigested foods - your digestive system isn’t breaking down and absorbing foods efficiently which may be due to many different reasons including lack of digestive enzymes, conditions such as IBS, SIBO etc. 👉🏼 Sticking to the side of the bowl - again indicates liver insufficiency usually due to a diet high in excess fats. 👉🏼 Floating stools - usually indicate malabsorption issues. 👉🏼Pale in colour/slight yellowing in colour? This indicates your liver is struggling to keep up and needs a little love to support its responsibilities in digestion. It also may be due to excess fats in the diet. ⠀ Noticing any of these symptoms? I am super passionate about helping clients achieve optimal gut health.

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) Common Symptoms: 🚫 - Bloating (particularly lower GI bloating) - Diarrhea (Hydrogen SIBO) - Constipation (Methane SIBO) - Unexplained weight gain or weight loss - Nutrient deficiencies - Flatulence - Nausea HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?❗️ We all have billions of bacteria in our digestive tract, SIBO happens when there's an excessive amount of a certain gut bacteria in the small intestine, or when bacteria that's normally found in the large intestine is found in the small one. How do the bacteria wind up where they don't belong? It happens when there's a problem with "gut motility"—muscle contractions that occur in the gastrointestinal tract when you’re digesting food If these movements in the small intestine don't happen, then bacteria get stuck there and start to reproduce. This is why in people with SIBO, the nutrients in food aren't absorbed properly and can cause some symptoms that cause a whole bunch of issues. TREATMENT ✅️ In terms of treatment, it can range from improving motility through diet to taking a course of antibiotics to kill the invasive species of bacteria. This can be a long a stressful recovery, but there are plenty of ways (including wholistic) approaches to fixing SIBO. The problem with antibiotics is that it can re occur soon after. The best way is to come up with a plan. Once doing a bit of testing to identify which bacteria is causing the issues, a plan can be put into place specific to the individuals case.

Why your SIBO isn’t going away?! 🧐🧐 Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth or SIBO is a gut condition where there is an imbalance of bacteria in your gut causing too much to overpopulate your small intestine. They are not the kind you want there & they can lead to miserable symptoms!! 🙅🏻♀️😣 So what does SIBO cause?⁉️ -Digestive distress- gas & bloating that can be very painful & constant -Malabsorption of nutrients -Mucosal damage (leading to intestinal permeability & inflammation) -Gut dysbiosis (too many of one kind of bacteria in the gut) -Increased risk for autoimmune disease flares (Example Hashimoto’s, Lupus, Crohn’s) -Increased infection risk (COVID included!)⚠️ -Hormone imbalances -Cortisol & Adrenal dysfunction ✅ Other common issues also seen with SIBO are acne/eczema, depression, joint pain, & weight loss (or weight gain), hormonal imbalances, hypothyroidism. You may be wondering how to tell if you have SIBO…. My advice is to TEST don’t GUESS if you have it!! ✍️✍️ A lactulose or hydrogen breath test is best- aiming to assess for hydrogen vs methane dominant SIBO or even Sulfur dominant (more on this later!). Testing has its flaws.... so make sure to work with someone who understands this & what can go wrong! The BEST THING to get rid of SIBO- work with a professional to help you get back to a balance in your gut microbiota, reduce inflammation, & heal your gut ❤️ I have got your back!!

Prebiotics vs probiotics - what’s the difference and why do we need both for a healthy gut? 💩 🌱 Prebiotics are the fermentable fibres that provide the food or “fuel” for probiotics to thrive., while Probiotics are live bacteria in the gut often referred to as "good" or "friendly" bacteria because they help maintain a healthy balance of microorganisms in the gut. Including both of these in your diet is key to improving the balance of your gut microbiome. Stay tuned for a post later in the week outlining some simple and easy prebiotic foods to include in your diet. #IBS #SIBO #guthealth #IBSSupport #SIBOtips #SIBOsupport #constipation #constipationsupport #digestion #digestivesupport #naturopath #NaturopathicSupport #guthealth #guthealthsupport #onlinenaturopath #naturopathtasmania #naturalhealth #SIBO #naturalmedicine #bloatingtips #probiotics #prebiotics #gutmicrobiome

Have you ever heard of the gut microbiome (aka microbiota)?🦠 If you know me well enough, you’ll know it is one of my passions that I talk about non-stop. So what exactly is it? It's like a bustling community of microorganisms – bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa – residing in your digestive tract. But here's the cool part: these tiny residents play a BIG role in your health! They help break down food, absorb nutrients, and even boost your immune system. 🦠💪 What you eat matters! A diet packed with fruits, veggies, and fibres? That's like rolling out the red carpet for a thriving gut microbiome. But toss in too many processed foods? You might upset the balance. 😬 And let's not forget about antibiotics – lifesavers when needed, but they can also disrupt the delicate balance of our gut microbiome. Research also suggests that when the gut microbiome falls out of whack (aka dysbiosis), it's linked to various health conditions – from obesity to inflammatory bowel disease and even certain cancers. 😱 So, let's nourish our gut garden with some green goodness and keep those microbes happy and healthy! 🌱💫 #IBS #SIBO #guthealth #IBSSupport #SIBOtips #SIBOsupport #naturopath #NaturopathicSupport #guthealth #guthealthsupport #onlinenaturopath #naturopathtasmania #naturalhealth #SIBO #naturalmedicine #bloatingtips

Let’s think of your gut lining as a drawbridge. 🌁 Your gut is naturally semi-permeable. This lets teeny-tiny boats (micronutrients) pass through your intestinal wall and into your bloodstream. It’s the way your body absorbs the foods you eat. External factors, such as food, infections, stress, and toxins, can break apart the tight junctions in your intestinal wall. This leaves the drawbridge open. If left unchecked, you develop a leaky gut. 🚩 When your gut is leaky, toxins, microbes, and undigested food particles can escape into your bloodstream. Your immune system marks these “foreign invaders” as pathogens and attacks them. Poor gut health can increase inflammation and can cause you to feel the following symptoms: * Digestive issues, such as gas, bloating, diarrhea * Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or ADD/ADHD * Skin issues, such as acne, eczema, or rosacea * Food allergies or intolerances * Mood imbalances, such as anxiety or depression * Diagnosis of chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia * Diagnosis of autoimmune disease, including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, lupus, celiac disease, psoriasis, or rheumatoid arthritis Fortunately, it IS possible to reverse leaky gut with a few key lifestyle changes. I outlined a few things that might be getting in the way of optimal gut heal in the graphic above 👆🏻 For a deeper dive on the most common culprits to gut health, tips on how to heal your gut and more, download my free Guide to Leaky Guide eBook (link is in my bio).

Could it be #SIBO? Look, it could be? It could not be? To find out we have to do that breath test - I know, it's annoying. We can also use a @foodmarble which can provide some useful insights and means you can monitor your treatment. Times have changed on how we treat SIBO, thank goodness! We can throw that restrictive diet IN THE BIN. We love that at New Leaf, cos if there's one thing we want all of you to do is to never be eating a restrictive diet, ever, ever again. So, if you have bloating, or gas, or constipation, or loose urgent bowels, or food sensitivities, fatigue and brain fog you could very well have SIBO... but it also could be something else. Have a chat to a #naturopath to find out, head over to the Journal to read more about SIBO and how we can help. www.new-leaf.com.au/journal. #CertifiedMircobiomeAnalyst #SIBOSupport #naturopathsfordigestion #fixyourgut #newleafnat #coulditbesibo
Unfortunately this approach may provide some relief but usually when you add the foods back in, the symptoms return. And for some people, taking probiotics could actually make things worse! Because if we have a digestive system already overloaded with bacteria, we don’t want to be adding anymore in, even if it is ‘good bacteria’ such as probiotics. The KEY to healing your gut is 1st to remove any overgrowth that isn’t supposed to be there. Then we can look look at slowly introducing certain strains of probiotics to repopulate the gut once the overgrowth of bacteria or yeast has been removed. This 4 step approach is what works really well: 1. Remove - the overgrowth/ parasite/ bacteria etc 2. Replace - foods in your diet that are allowing the growth of these bacteria & yeast 3. Repair - using specific supplements & single strain probiotics 4. Rebalance - continued healing with full stain probiotics & gut healing foods/ supplements Kinda like a ‘weed then feed’ approach. So, if you suspect you have gut issues (even bloating or gas can be a sign you have an imbalance!) you can either run some at home lab tests to find out exactly what is going on. OR You could go straight into a gut healing protocol which helps get rid of any gut overgrowth, rebalances the gut, then works on healing & sealing up the gut wall. Because the truth is you won’t properly get well until you work on your gut, so it’s usually the 1st place to look! And no matter how well you eat, if you aren’t breaking down your food properly & absorbing all the nutrients, your body will not have what it needs to thrive. Plus, you may not be making all the B-vitamins you need to produce serotonin - your feel happy neurotransmitter (hello gut brain connection!) The gut really is the foundation of good health. So don’t ignore those gut symptoms… get to the root cause of them and rebalance your gut for good so don’t have to deal with IBS, bloating or reflux anymore. If you need some support, send me a DM x

How do you know which gut type you have? 🤔⬇️ Most people have one of five gut types, and each tells you something different about your health. The five gut types are: 1. Toxic gut 2. Dysbiotic gut 3. Autoimmune gut 4. Stress gut 5. Gastric gut As I always say, the gut is the gateway to health. Up to 80% of your immune system is located in your gut. If you don’t have a healthy gut, you can’t have a healthy immune system. Knowing your gut type can help you take better control of your health. Whether you have a toxic gut, dysbiotic gut, autoimmune gut, or stress gut, the root cause of your symptoms starts with the state of your microbiome. Understanding your gut type is the first step to healing your gut. To discover your gut type, and for strategies on how to heal your gut, please click the link in my bio that says “Find Out Your Gut Type”.

Learning how to fix leaky gut permanently takes time. Remember, everyone responds to protocols differently, and there are several factors that can complicate your leaky gut treatment. In fact, you may simply be overlooking a few key steps. Here are a few of the most common mistakes I see when fixing leaky gut. ⬇️ 1. Eating too many raw vegetables It’s true that vegetables are good for your gut. However, when you’re on a gut healing journey, too many raw vegetables could slow your progress. This is because digesting raw vegetables takes a lot of work. If you’re short on digestive enzymes, raw veggies can contribute to bloating gas, and other kinds of GI discomfort. Instead, focus on cooked vegetables while trying to fix leaky gut. 2. Not trying an elimination diet Anyone wondering how to fix a leaky gut should try an elimination diet. This approach rules out hidden food intolerances, or serious food allergies. If you experience bloating, constipation, brain fog, or joint pain that seem to mysteriously come and go, chances are that you have a food sensitivity or allergy and could benefit from going on an elimination diet. 3. Cheating on your gut-healing protocol Let’s face it…nobody’s perfect! With that said, if you want to fix leaky gut for good, this is one step you cannot skip. Each time you figure “a little pizza can’t hurt” or “I’ll just have one glass of wine,” your digestive system takes a hit. All the progress you’ve made to restore your gut health takes a few steps back. Even once you know how to fix leaky gut, it can be tempting to go back to the way you ate before your healing protocol. However, this is exactly what triggered leaky gut syndrome in the first place. For the other 5 steps you could take on your leaky gut journey, visit the link in my bio to read my blog, “Fixing Leaky Gut: Avoid These Mistakes”.

Most of our gut bacteria are meant to be in our large intestine and colon. Here they help break down food, synthesize vitamins, and eliminate waste. However, medications or a poor diet can cause the bacteria normally found in the large intestine and colon to overgrow and colonize in your small intestine — leading to SIBO. SIBO, also known as Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, is basically what the name describes. The bacteria in your small intestine get unbalanced and overgrow, instead of living in a balanced state. SIBO symptoms can range from digestive imbalance to chronic illness and autoimmune conditions. Here are the main symptoms you might experience: ⚠️Gas, bloating, diarrhea ⚠️Abdominal pain ⚠️Constipation ⚠️Food intolerances ⚠️Fat malabsorption ⚠️Vitamin and mineral deficiencies and more If you’re like most, you’ve tried everything to relieve your symptoms of SIBO. First, you completed an elimination diet; then you tried the low-FODMAP diet. Symptoms may improve initially, but not long after you get off your protocol all your symptoms return. When this happens, you’re experiencing a SIBO relapse. As a functional medicine physician, I’ve helped many patients overcome SIBO, however, there were times when a patient would come back with a SIBO relapse… sometimes more than once. It can be so frustrating to feel like you have done everything to fix your SIBO, only to have your symptoms return. The good news is that you can reverse your symptoms and say goodbye to recurring SIBO infections. The key is to pinpoint the root cause of your SIBO relapse. To learn why relapses occur and what you can do when this happens, visit the link in my bio to read my blog post, “What is Causing Your SIBO Relapse?” Have you experienced one? If so, drop a 👋🏻below.

Gut issues may seem complex, but they usually stem from one of these 4 main things: > Parasites > H.Pylori > Candida/ Yeast overgrowth > Bacterial Overgrowth/ SIBO Once you know what’s causing the inflammation in your gut (ie. do you have any of these going on??) you can then work on removing the overgrowth or infection, heal and seal up the gut wall and repopulate your good gut microbiome which is kinda like ‘your army’. The gut, often referred to as our ‘second brain’ plays an important role in maintaining a strong immune system, absorbing nutrients, ensuring good digestion, warding off pathogens and even influences our mental health. So good gut health really is essential to good overall health. If you’re dealing with any digestive issues like gas, bloating, burping, IBS, even skin issues, brain fog, low mood or an autoimmune condition, I’d encourage you to explore how well your digestive system is (or isn’t working!) as this can be a game changer to your health and how you feel. I’m a big fan of lab testing to identify exactly what the imbalances are in the gut, and what you need to focus on to bring it back into balance. It takes out all the guesswork and gives you actionable data of what to work on. If you’re struggling with ongoing bloating or need support with your IBS symptoms but you’re not sure what to do or where to start, send me a message. I’d love to guide and support you back to feeling your best. I’m obsessed with gut health and it is often the first place to start on a healing journey. Well alongside managing stress. Because without good gut health getting properly well can be a real struggle.
Building a balanced plate 🍽️should include foods that will keep you satisfied, prevent blood sugar spikes, and contian a varitey of micronutrients/colors 🌈 SWIPE 👉🏻Comment below which meal looks the best ot you? Breakfast, lunch or dinner? I use Mediterranean dieting with a lot of my clients, so i wanted to showcase what building a plate looks like for this! 💁🏼♀️TIP: To help with creating a diet change if your life, think of what you can add vs what you should eliminate. This could help prevent a restrictive mindset around food and create sustainability long term (which is key!) 💡Reminder: The Mediterranean diet is not low carb! It’s roughly composed of 25% protein, 50% carbs, 30% fats. This composition is more balanced compared to other dietary styles out there, which allows for adequate fiber intake, varitey of fats, fruits, grains, etc. 😋You can still eat mediterranean based foods and not follow this macronutrient split. This can absolutely still provide you with fantastic health bnefits for blood sugar, reducing inflammation, improving metabolic health, and more. This is a principle I have adapted over the past few years to improve my health.

With March comes new energy especially with March being my birth month😊🎉 I’ve been quiet for a while because I needed a pause to heal. My long health journey led me to become a nutrition and gut health coach, but that doesn’t mean the journey stopped there. There are always new things to learn and the best thing is to learn from your own experience 😅 (although I don’t wish that journey for anyone). A new health diagnosis and symptoms arose: left and right hip labrum tear, low ferritin level, thyroid hormone fluctuation, fatigue, poor sleep…and my gut acting up even though I was nourishing my gut with all the healthy stuff - prebiotics, probiotics, cruciferous veggies, protein, resistant starch, and avoided gluten, sugar, and other inflammatory ingredients …. Because I know most of the diseases start in the gut I’ve added 1 and 1 together and got tested for SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and other gut health markers. I wasn’t surprised when the SIBO breath test came back positive, but I was shocked by other markers showing dysbiosis, liver overload, and a sneaky 🦠! I’ve been on a protocol to heal all my issues that are slowly improving, but they are far from perfect. At first, I was saddened and ashamed of myself for promoting a healthy lifestyle and teaching others how to improve their gut health while struggling with my health, but now I take it as an advantage that is moving me forward and helping me to deepen my knowledge further as I can help even more people on the way. So stick around if you want to learn more about SIBO and thyroid connection, malabsorption, functional lab testing, and more….

Part 3 of 4 - My favourite garden herbs for children: Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) Thyme is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antispasmodic and expectorant (clear mucus) herb and can be used in tea, cooking or mixed with honey. It contains many medicinal compounds. They contribute to its versatility in traditional and modern medicine, especially for treating respiratory conditions, digestive issues and infections. Thyme for infants I recommend consulting with a Medical Herbalist for children under the age of 9 months, as we utilise specialised dosage formulas. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #HerbalHealth #ChildrensWellness #ThymeBenefits #NaturalMedicine #HerbsForKids #RespiratoryHealth #DigestiveWellness #HolisticHealth #HerbalRemedies #FamilyWellbeing #SIBOsupport #HealthyKids #HerbalCooking #NaturalHealing #HolisticParenting #KidsHealthTips #NaturopathyForChildren #HerbGarden #HealthyLiving

DM me "TESTING" if you’re ready to ditch the bloat for good! 🫶 👀Let me tell you a story about a past client named Mira who was dealing with chronic bloating, gas, and abdominal pain 😓 She had been tested and treated for SIBO THREE times! But here's the kicker, her doc would give her the antibiotics and send her on her marry way 🫠 🙌🏻After seeing more than 1000+ women in our program to date, I knew better than just to slap a bandaid on the problem. We dug deeper and found that their SIBO was a symptom of an underlying issue - stress, bacterial imbalances, digestive insufficiencies, and poor detoxification! By addressing the root causes of her SIBO (high cortisol, infections in her gut, blood sugar dysregulation, and poor digestion), we were able to not only alleviate the SIBO symptoms but also improve her overall health and quality of life 🥳💃🏼 👉🏼If you don't address the root cause, you're just mowing the lawn instead of pulling the weeds. Get off the SIBO roller coaster by identifying the root causes ⭐️ ➡️ DM me “TESTING” If you're ready for personalized 1:1 support+ functional testing to help you identify the true sources of your SIBO. 💃🏼 #sibo #sibosupport #sibohelp #siborelief #ibs #functionalmedicine #functionalnutrition #functionaldietitian #rootcauseapproach #rootcause #dietitianhelp #gidietitian #guthealth #gutsupport #bloatedaf #bloat

Have you been treated for SIBO, but you're not feeling any better? Solely addressing SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) might not bring you the relief you hoped for. Those persistent symptoms are just the tip of the iceberg! SIBO throws your gut off balance, causing discomfort, gas, and more. When left untreated, long-term digestive and other health issues can manifest within your body. Addressing the root cause is key! Think gut motility, immune health, diet – there's a world beyond antibiotics 😉 Check out my Gut Restore program to tackle your SIBO once and for all!
SAVE this post as a quick reminder for daily gentle gut goals! 🤍✨ For those who love a reminder list like myself ✔️ By incorporating little habits one step at a time, we can take a more gentler approach to supporting your gut health! 🌿 what habit are you excited to try?
Ever wondered why you might feel bloated? 🤔 It could be due to a disruption in your gut microbiota, causing an imbalance in gas-producing bacteria. 🦠 Here are 3 more reasons and tips for a happier, less bloated gut: 1️⃣ Imbalanced Diet: Consuming too many processed foods and lacking fiber disrupts gut bacteria, leading to increased gas production and bloating. 2️⃣ Eating Too Quickly: Slow down, savor your food, and give your digestive system the time it needs to avoid swallowing excess air. 3️⃣ Food Sensitivities: Identify and manage triggers like lactose or gluten to significantly reduce bloating. Eating fiber-rich foods and staying hydrated can also help promote a happy gut. 💧🌿 Remember, everyone's body is unique, so pay attention to how yours responds to different foods and habits. 🙌💚 ❗️❗️📖To learn more on why you may be bloated, and how to tackle bloating for good check out our ebook for lasting relief- link in bio 👆 #SIBOSupport #GutHealthJourney #GutHealth #BloatingTips #bloating #healthygut #happytummy #guthealth #nutrition #diet #ebook #educate #wellness #healthjourney #bloatingjourney #health #gutmicrobes #gutbacteria #bloated

No one should have to deal with scary health issues alone! Here at the SIBO Clinic, we’ve helped hundreds of people to not only treat their digestive issues naturally but to bring their whole digestive system back into balance. With the right support and knowledge, you can heal from your digestive issues and stay healed! Our in-house experts are here to identify the root cause of your symptoms, create a treatment plan, help you to order the supplements and suppport you through the healing process We are a team of gut health and SIBO experts, and we also specialise in common co-existing conditions such as Endometriosis, PCOS, hormones, thyroid and pediatrics. It’s hardly ever “just” SIBO that is making you so sick. How does it work? We’ll start you off with a single appointment. From there we’ll do a thorough assesment so that we can have an understanding of what’s going on with you and what’s causing all your symptoms. Following your first consultation, we’ll be able to make recommendations of what treatment you’ll need going forward. We often do recommend working closely together with us for a period of 3 months. The digestive system can take anywhere from 3 to 18 months to heal. Less than that and you’ll likely end up back where you started, repeating protoocol after protocol and not getting the lasting results you’re chasing. Our one-to-one consultations are all fully remote, meaning that no matter where you are in the world, or where you are with your health, we can help you get on the road to recovery. Imagine a life of food freedom. Freedom to eat the foods you want without bloat. Freedom to say yes to dinner invitations and trips away. Freedom to have peace within your body. It’s so worth it. Lots of love, 7 years SIBO free Kirsten & The SIBO Clinic Team #sibohealing #sibo #siborecovery #sibosupport #healthygut

These are the top 10 trigger foods for bloating that I see for my patients. Can you relate to any of these? It's important to remember that these foods TRIGGER bloating and not CAUSE bloating. What's the difference seeing food as a cause or trigger? ❌ Cause is when there isn't the understanding or acknowledgment of the deeper issue, and that removing the food is all that is needed to fix the problem. ✅ Trigger is when you understand a certain food can set your bloating off with the understanding that the cause is something happening in the gut such as enzyme or bacterial issues.

🦠 Diving into SIBO Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, or SIBO, is a complex gut condition. It arises when there's an excessive accumulation of bacteria in the small intestine, a place typically having fewer bacteria compared to the colon. 🌪️ Symptoms to Recognise The manifestations of SIBO are diverse. Common ones include persistent bloating, gas, and abdominal discomfort. Diarrhea or constipation can occur, and over prolonged periods, malabsorption can lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies, affecting overall health. 💊 Navigating Treatment Addressing SIBO often involves a multi-pronged approach. Antibiotics, especially Rifaximin, are commonly prescribed to combat the bacterial overgrowth. It's essential to follow the treatment regimen closely, as recurrence can be a challenge. 🍏 The Dietary Connection Managing SIBO isn't just about medication. Dietary strategies, such as the Low FODMAP or Specific Carbohydrate Diet, can be pivotal. These diets aim to reduce the intake of foods that feed the problematic bacteria, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent flare-ups. 🧠 The Gut-Brain Link Our intestines and brain share a profound connection. SIBO can influence mental well-being, potentially leading to mood swings, anxiety, and the often-mentioned 'brain fog'. It underscores the idea that a balanced gut is integral to holistic health.
