EP.149/ What You Need to Know About SIBO with Endo 101
For the next few weeks I’m experimenting with something new - two episodes a week!
LISTEN NOW
I’ll be releasing my usual podcast episode and a live Q&A recording, so anyone who doesn’t follow me on Instagram can tune in there. I want to see how you guys like this format and then if it’s something that is working well, we’ll keep to two a week for the most part.
As a result of this new change, this week’s first episode is a recording of my SIBO live Q&A.
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth in our community is a big, big deal. Current research has shown that possibly 80% of us with endo have SIBO, and having SIBO may even be a risk factor for developing endo in the first place... BUT having endo can also cause SIBO so it’s a real chicken or the egg scenario.
In this Q&A I break down:
The stats behind SIBO and IBS with endo
The treatments for SIBO: antimicrobials, antibiotics or the elemental diet.
Why you can’t just treat it with one round of over the counter herbs (there are specific time frames and quantities!).
Root causes of SIBO and prevention of relapse.
The current problems with trying to access a diagnosis and treatment though the NHS.
