EP.199/ Endo Belly Instagram Live Q&A: What Came First, Endo or SIBO?
Are Certain Endo People More Likely to Develop SIBO? What's the Connection Between Endo, IBS and SIBO?
LISTEN NOW
A little while ago I asked you guys what your questions were about SIBO and endo belly - and my gosh, did you come through with the questions! So I decided to record my answers in a few Instagram lives and then share them as a podcast episode so more people can have access to this information.
But in short, if you suffer with any of the following, I think this is worth a listen:
Bloating/endo belly
Diarrhoea/constipation (I'm talking constipation or diarrhoea that is more or less your every day normal, not isolated to your period or luteal phase, as that tends to be hormonal).
Nausea or vomiting (that’s not induced by pain)
Gas or burping
GERD or acid reflux
Here are the questions I am answering in today’s episode:
What came first? Endo or SIBO?
Are there certain people with endo more likely to develop SIBO?
What is the connection between SIBO and IBS and how to differentiate between them?
What are the stats on IBS, endo and SIBO?
Are there any foods that make SIBO worse?
Will I have to do a low FODMAP diet long term?
Does diet help SIBO?
Can SIBO cause B12, zinc, iron and magnesium deficiencies?
I hope this podcast episode is helpful to you. If you’re wondering whether it’s SIBO or endo or something else causing your bloating, or you’d like to learn how to test for SIBO or just understand a bit more before you investigate further, have a look at my show notes below.
