With gut health being incredibly important for many functions in the body achieving the right balance is key and Phoebe, as a SIBO sufferer, knows exactly what it’s like and provides great practical advice on how to heal.
This is an episode that will tell you everything you need to know about SIBO from what it is and isn’t to how to treat it effectively.  
 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

If there is a breach of the small intestinal wall by bacteria they are then in direct contact with your immune system.
Damage to the intestinal wall can lead to a leaky gut issue which can create a feedback loop with autoimmunity and this can cause systematic inflammation.
The gases bacteria release are inflammatory and damaging
SIBO is complex and usually a result of more than one of the body’s protective mechanisms having issues.
Any deficiency in the natural microbial substances that we make or deficiency in the immune system can result in SIBO.
The migrating motor complex carries food through the intestine and damage to this can be a cause of SIBO.
A gut not functioning well will mean issues in the conversion of T4 to T3.
T3 is essential for many functions in the body including the production of stomach acid
and fuelling the migrating motor complex.
if you have a hormone imbalance such as oestrogen dominance the conversion will be even more challenging for T4 to T3.
Bacteria carry their own histamine load and it’s all about keeping everything in balance.
50% of people with SIBO will also have some sort of fungal overgrowth as the lack of balance will cause overgrowth not only in the gut but also in other areas of the body
There are 3 main treatments for SIBO antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials and an elemental diet.
