EP.99/ How To Treat SIBO with Dr Allison Siebecker (Copy)
The SIBO queen, Dr. Allison Siebecker, is back with part two on our deep dive into all things SIBO, endometriosis and interstitial cystitis.
LISTEN NOW
In this episode, we’re talking about how to test for SIBO and how to interpret your results, how to treat SIBO and how to lessen your chances of relapse with prevention methods. It’s a great episode and one that I cannot recommend enough for starting out on this SIBO/endo belly journey.
Here’s a breakdown of everything we discuss in this interview:
How to test for SIBO and which type of test is best - the lactulose breath test or glucose?
Why a three hour test is always recommended over a two hour test.
How to interpret your results and what your gas levels mean for your treatment options and how to look for hydrogen sulfide clues.
Why you have to test to know how to treat.
The treatment options for hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulfide.
The types of antibiotics used for SIBO.
The types of antimicrobial herbs used for SIBO.
What the elemental diet is and when it should be used for SIBO.
Why prevention is a crucial stage of SIBO recovery.
How and when to use diet for SIBO.
The role of prokinetcis in SIBO.
How to do meal spacing to prevent a relapse after treatment.
Why patience and persistence is all part of the process of treating SIBO.
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.
