Beating SIBO WITHOUT Antimicrobials/Antibiotics

So, you've been diagnosed with SIBO. Now what? Surely, everybody has told you that you need antibiotics- whether that be drugs like Rifaximin/Xifaxan or antimicrobial herbs like berberine, oregano, or neem. But what if it was possible to treat SIBO without the use of antibiotics? And what if it only took three steps...?

You also bring up a point I never thought of before. When I eat junk I don’t have anyyyy stomach issues. It’s always puzzled me. Now it makes sense. I was happy to eat it!!

I've tried everything, and fought SIBO repeatedly for many years... Honestly I would never have believed that motility was my issue, especially considering the chronic diarrhea. After starting artichoke extract and ginger root, as well as milk thistle, to counter fatty liver I can say that my digestive issues are 95% resolved. I can eat normal food again and don't have chronic diarrhea.

Definetly don’t forget the gallbladder and bile!! So many people skip this. Lack of bile can lead to sibo and constipation!!! As always love your videos ❤

You CAN'T beat SIBO by taking antimicrobials. You have to make the dietary changes to restore normal acidity to your small intestine, long term. You also need to change the composition of your body's flora, and you probably need to close off some leaky gut that was created when you developed SIBO. Since virtually every plant substance has some antimicrobial activity, you shouldn't be freaking out about that. For instance, marshmallow root (Althea) not only can help heal leaky gut, but it has antimicrobial properties. Other common herbs and spices have antimicrobial properties, like garlic, oregano, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and turmeric. You need a multipronged approach, and it usually helps to stop eating so much carbohydrate, and to clear up any insulin resistance.

Thank you. Definitely worth watching. 2 years of SIBO here and I learned something recently that nobody ever mentioned… smoking marijuana supposedly slows gut motility. I’ve been a light but regular consumer for a long time and once I read up on it further, I decided to quit entirely. It hasn’t eradicated my symptoms but it definitely helped me feel better. I feel it is rarely mentioned, perhaps due to the stigma attached, but quitting has helped me have more energy, poop better, maybe slightly less bloating and I have felt better overall. If you smoke weed and have SIBO, as hard as it might be, stop.

This is God's way of answering my prayers... I soo needed to hear this

I looked into working with this Dr, but I could not believe how expensive it is😢. This does not include even any labs. Very sad how everything is about money nowadays. It is not about helping people.

I have had SIBO for three years now. Love this video! You give me so much hope. I am starting iron infusions next week as my ferritin levels are now under the normal level and iron pills did nothing, My levels were always low, but have been decreasing the past few years. I am so hoping that this improves motility!

[meganmcclelland]

Thank-you!! 4 years of chronic gut problems and it has taken me this long to go down so many rabbit holes of ridiculous dietary restrictions and kill protocols that never fully worked. It was then I realised I needed a multifaceted approach to my healing. The first aha moment came when i realised I had a problem with my MMC, I have just started meal spacing and ordered Ginger, artichoke and milk thistle. Next i will look at the foundations. Already the meal spacing of 3 meals per day no snacks has drastically changed some debilitating symptoms such as gerd and nausea plus i have added digestive enzymes for a short period to aid digestion.
I look forward to watching more of your content.

Wow, I love this. I developed what my naturopath says might be SIBO with bloating ever since I got a job working from home. I haven’t gotten a test yet. But I would lie on my bed a lot and eating meals was always in a rush. I really want to avoid antibiotics and anti microbial, and focus on increasing my motility. I am now sitting when I eat, and I walk around after I eat. I also started practice Qigong healing exercises to move energy around in my abdomen. I hadn’t been walking due to hip injury which contributed to a sedentary life. Today I walked a bit at the park and didn’t experience pain so I will get back to walking again. Will see a physical therapist to help my hips gain strength. I really don’t want to mess around with my digestive system too much. I’m already taking digestive enzymes which help. I started bloating years ago after eating fruit. I think I do lack ability to digest fruit. I was put on PPIs and Zantac to lower my stomach acid. Now I know it’s not my level of stomach acid, it’s my lack of enzymes to break down fructose in the fruit and juices. I’ve also had bloating due to stress. I would take baking soda which helped, but now, that does not work for me anymore. My bloating is trapped gas fermenting from the bacteria due to low motility, because I’ve omitted fruit and still have bloating. I want to push those bacteria down to the large intestines where they belong!

Unfortunately, the title of this video is a bit misleading. If you are suffering from Sibo, at the moment, this video will not help you. It’s more about Sibo prevention than beating it.

For years I thought I was lactose intolerant, but I recently found out it was actually SIBO! After some research about at-home breath tests, I ended up buying one from AllClear Healthcare, as that was an easier option for me living in a rural area. I look forward to following your channel.

This “you only got SIBO because your head was in the wrong place and you didn’t eat right and exercise” gaslighting needs to stop. 15+ years of meditating every single day. 10+ years of 1.5 hours highly challenging hot yoga every day. ZERO drugs, alcohol, cigarettes. 100% organic diet, most of it homegrown. At this point, my symptoms are so intense I cannot sleep at night at all. The symptoms have forced me to give up the exercise, the yoga, the food, and I can barely meditate. Dr. Mark Pimentel, the leading expert on SIBO, said it all in one sentence: “When doctors have no clue what the real cause of a disease is, they blame stress.” The next time someone tells you that they can’t help you because you caused this disease through poor lifestyle, and YOU KNOW that your lifestyle was impeccable, walk away. The answer to the real cause and the real solution is out there.

I think it's not logical to talk about good nutrition for someone with SIBO !! We all know that a sibo patient can't eat most healthy foods, especially fibre! Also, we all know that Sibo causes deficiencies in many vitamins and minerals, especially iron and B12

[barlowwe]

I just want to say that I was on the edge of my seat the whole time because of your doodles. 😉

[kristinakorovina]

This video should be titled, what to do to not get sibo. I watched few other of your videos that i thought were mistitled as well, but you did give me new perspective on few things, so i am thankful

[easygoingguy]

Thanks for the informative videos. I've had hydrogen Sibo for like 7 years now. Totally miserable. I would literally cut my fingers off to get rid of this. Seems like I'm bloated no matter what I eat, and I've been on a strict keto diet before cut out all the processed sugars. I've tried the antibiotics that didn't I tried the liquid-based diet for 2 weeks that didn't work. So now I'm on the carnivore diet. Been on it for 6 weeks. I feel a little better. I thought it would have been gone by but I guess not. So frustrated. I don't have much faith in ever getting rid of this not to sound like a complainer

[suukinsin]

She mentioned u need :-
Nutrition vitamin minerals
Sleep
Motility
No Stress anxiety

2 years of repeated SIBO and lost weight to the point of all my ribs showing. I get to be the odd ball. 2 years of 200 dr appointments for one urine test to show i had been drinking arsenic and uranium. Let me tell you, heavy metals need tested sooner than that. My biome, gut lining, absorbion, weight loss, vegas nerve are all not good. I was an athletic person with a amazing bill of health before testing positive for those 2 and molds. It was a $600 test that saved my life. I have a lot of damage now. Apparently when they test wells in ohio for a home sale, their laws for "safe" water are to only test bacteria. i didn't know. i was simply told it was tested safe and we could sign. Your content has helped me a lot. You have no idea. Thank you

[maish]

This really makes sense! Managing stress alone can work wonders. Eating a normal healthy diet is much more easier than following a strict diet like lowFODMAP diet or low histamine diet. This will eliminate the added stress when trying to stick to them. And I really liked that you don’t have to take too much supplements and probiotics to heal. Thank you so much for this very helpful video!
