Do you frequently experience gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation? These symptoms might indicate a condition known as SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. But these gut issues can also be linked to food sensitivities (especially to dairy or gluten), leaky gut, inflammation, autoimmunity, and poor brain function.
SIBO occurs when bacteria from the large intestine migrate into the small intestine. These bacteria thrive on sugars and carbohydrates, producing excess gas that can lead to a range of digestive problems, from bloating and flatulence to constipation or diarrhea.
Several factors can contribute to the development of SIBO, including:
- Food poisoning
- Poor diet with excess sugar
- Low stomach acid
- Frequent use of antibiotics
- Chronic stress
- Brain function issues
In addition, SIBO can cause leaky gut—a condition where the intestinal lining becomes damaged, allowing undigested food, bacteria, and other particles into the bloodstream. This can trigger inflammation, autoimmunity, and chronic health issues.
Managing SIBO effectively requires a personalized approach, as there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. To explore more about how to address your digestive concerns and find the right plan for you, consider seeking guidance tailored to your needs.
You don’t have to live with ongoing digestive issues. Understanding the root cause—whether it’s SIBO, food sensitivities, or leaky gut—is the first step toward lasting relief. Take charge of your gut health today.
