How to STOP Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth(SIBO)? – Dr. Berg

Download Keto Essentials

In this video, Dr. Berg talks about SIBO or Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.

SIBO is when the microbes are growing in the small intestine and sometimes can go up into the stomach. The stomach should be very acidic to kill off those microbes. The deeper root cause of SIBO is low hydrochloric acid. He also talks about the cause of this low hydrochloric acid.

Symptoms of SIBO:
• Bloating
• Gas – Coming from an excess fermentation which is the microbes eating too much food and fiber
• Pain
• Constipation
• Diarrhea

Causes of SIBO:
• Low Hydrochloric Acid
• Frequent Eating – You won’t give your body a chance to rest and clean out the colon in between meals.

Cause of Low Hydrochloric Acid
• Antibiotics
• Anti-Acid
• Junk Food
• Consuming Too Much Alkaline Water
• Baking Soda

What NOT to do:
1. Add More Fiber – Microbes live in fiber and sugar. Don’t consume as many vegetables, just small amounts.
2. Add Probiotic

What you SHOULD do:
• Intermittent Fasting – It gives your body a chance to rest and clean out the residue and food particles between the meals.
• Acidify Stomach – Apple Cider Vinegar and Betaine Hydrochloride (8 or 9 tablets with a meal)
• Low Stress – Stress makes it worse
• Clove, Garlic, Oregano – To help balance out the good and bad bacteria.

Suffered with this for 30 years without a diagnosis. I just watched 10 min YouTube video by some woman who also suffered her whole life and said she was so miserable and now finally found a solution which she shares with u if you buy her course 🤦‍♀️...
Dr Berg enters the room and shares the solution in less than 6 min for free. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

All doctors need to take a few lessons from this man. His dedication and capability to share his knowledge is worthy of a Nobel Prize.

Have a low-fiber, low vegetable diet. Do 1) intermittent fasting to clean up residue of food particles 2) acidity your stomach with betaine hydrochloride and acv 3) have a low stress life 4) eat lots of clove, garlic, oregano to balance bacteria

I started drinking ACV and taking Betaine HCI. I haven't taken Singulair in a week and my chronic cough is gone. I would also burp up large chunks of food which has stopped. From 1999 to 2015 I took a Nexium for heartburn and chronic cough. That made my cough worse so I was put on an inhaled steroid and told I had asthma despite never being tested for asthma. Over the years I've spent thousands on lung (never tested me) and gastro specialist. Had endoscope three times and told nothing wrong. In 2012 I stopped absorbing nutrients and developed osteopenia. I was told it was from long distance running and told to stop running. In 2015 I decided to take charge of my health and took myself off the Nexium and Inhaled Steroid. The cough was ruining my life. I've been searching for answers and found your video on HCI a few weeks ago. Thank you for changing my life!

I would attend a school if he opened it. I would support that 💯 I am a nurse and I have turned my own aging off or slowed it down with his advice

Thank you for sharing this, people need to know how to heal themselves. I had SIBO abt 3 years ago, none of the doctors ever heard about it so refused do test other than blood which was fine. I did an enormous amount of self study, it took me several months of strict diet with lots of herbal remedies, and I eventually treated myself out of it. If I left it do doctors, I would be walking around suffering and believing that I have food alergy or something else wrong with me.

There's power in words. Just listening to you explain SIBO in detail, is a form of healing in itself. Thanks, doctor Berg!

[catcall]

I smile every time I watch a video. Just listening to this guy. This man is a life saver. Just thank you Dr Berg.

[wisdom-for-life]

I really like how you put a full breakdown in the description. Thanks!!

[Athecubus]

I’ve never heard of Sibo before this video. So glad I subbed because I learn so many new things!

[animalnature]

Hello doctor I'm Kishore from India.
Lots of love and respect for you and your sincere effort.

[madelinemelocriollo]

I'm absolutely sure I had SIBO and it went undiagnosed. I have been backtracking my entire life and these videos have been a God send for me. I only wish I had a time travel machine so I can go back in time and fix my hot mess before I ate myself into this toxic, malabsorption, fat, hot mess that is me in my late 40s 😩😩 but I'm in my 5th month of keto and IF... 25 lbs less but still a ton of health to regain. I am now wanting to help my kids make better choices and better habits for themselves so they grow stronger than I ever did

[stephenford]

Thank you so much. I'm shaking my head because this stuff is not common knowledge, but far from it. And the thing is you can see how very important this is. Thanks again.

I've been on a SIBO diet for about 6 months cutting out all grains and sugars and it has made a big difference in my life. At first I didn't know if I could go without sweet foods or toast and other foods I liked to eat but after awhile I realised I didn't miss them as much as I thought I would. I feel much healthier now and my bowels are working as they should. I noticed improvement within the first week and would recommend the SIBO diet to anyone suffering the symptoms of an irritated bowl. Also find a good clinical dietician to work with to get things working properly again. Thanks for video it was informative and explained clearly and simply - Shine on.

[lindawentink]

So informative. Thank you. So true about stress. Emotions play a huge role in digestive disorders too.

[mistellestewart]

SIBO is caused by motility disorder in small intestine and is very hard to get rid of, too many say it’s lack of acid in the stomach but most people get sibo from food poisoning, adhesions

[purrrrguy]

Best sibo explanation and treatment advice. Exactly how i cured my sibo after 3 years of upper abdominal pain.

[josepiedra]

This is what I struggle with doc!! Bloating & this makes so much sense!! I get to the point were I look pregnant when I get to much bloating!!

[bethpage]

I have been sick with SIBO and yeast for years. I changed my diet. No diary, no grains, no sugar, but doctors said eat 4-6 small meals a day and I was miserable. I love your teaching, it makes sense to me. I did think I needed to eat because of blood sugar but like you said, candida is causing that.

[dutoitbou-verfkontrakteurs]

Dr. Berg. Would you consider doing a vid on the stomach, brain link especially in add, aspergers etc. Also why do they have stomach issues and how to fix it.
