EP.196/ The SIBO, Endometriosis and Interstitial Cystitis Connection wth Dr. Allison Siebecker Part 1
Endo Belly and IBS Awareness Series
LISTEN NOW
So, before we get started today, I wanted to let you know that I’m currently off on annual leave, one of my goals this year was to take more time off – well, to basically time off, rather than working through until Christmas!
And so, the episode you’re hearing today is a replay of a past episode. As it’s IBS Awareness Month, and because so many of us with endo have IBS, I wanted to share with you my most foundational, actionable and informative episodes on endo belly, IBS and SIBO – so every week you’ll get two episodes on this theme, to help raise awareness and to provide you with some actions.
Now because these episodes are old, I may not refer to some of the resources I provide on the endo belly, so I wanted to remind you of the services I provide. So, to start with, I have plenty of other episodes on the endo belly, I have a course called The Endo Belly Course which is specifically for anyone with endo who really struggles with IBS, endo belly or SIBO (here’s the waitlist; I work with 1 to 1 clients; especially those with endo belly or SIBO, and I have lots and lots of articles on Endometriosis News and Endometriosis Net about these topics. And of course, I also have my Instagram account, which is chock full of SIBO and endo belly info, for those of you wanting to learn more.
Lastly, if you feel you need a little extra support, I am currently running a free Endo Belly Challenge. The challenge ends on April 18th, but if you sign up before May 2nd, you’ll still be able to access all of the challenge, and catch up – and for anyone who takes part, you’ll be invited to a private, free Q&A call with me at the start of May, where you’ll get to ask me all your endo belly questions.
Okay, so without further ado, let’s get to the episode:
Is this the highlight of my podcast career so far? Absolutely. Today I’m joined by my tutor, the wonderful Dr. Allison Siebecker discussing small intestine bacterial overgrowth, endometriosis and interstitial cystitis.
A naturopathic doctor and SIBO patient herself, Dr. Allison Siebecker is one of the world’s leading SIBO experts and provides truly the best SIBO resource on the internet. Dr. Siebecker has worked with thousands of patients and has dedicated her career to treating some of the most difficult SIBO cases, whilst educating both health care practitioners and the general public about this commonly under diagnosed condition with her courses, website and upcoming book.
In this episode, we discuss:
Her own experience of developing chronic SIBO and how she manages it now.
Why a chronic case of SIBO doesn’t mean you can’t live a full and happy life.
The signs and symptoms of SIBO to look out for.
The associated conditions including interstitial cystitis and endometriosis.
The root causes of SIBO - specifically endometriosis adhesions and what we can do about them.
If you’ve been struggling with the endo belly, constant IBS issues, bloating, nausea and so many of the other stomach issues that seem to come hand in hand with endometriosis, this episode is absolutely the one to listen to.
