Episode notes
SIBO May Affect Half The Population
- SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) likely affects about half the population and is a non-infectious epidemic.
- William Davis argues this prevalence rivals major historic epidemics in societal impact.
Breath Testing Locates Microbes
- Breath hydrogen testing maps where microbes live by measuring hydrogen release after consuming fermentable fibers.
- A positive early hydrogen rise indicates microbes are colonizing the small intestine (SIBO).
SIBO Is Common In Many Diseases
- Studies show high SIBO prevalence across conditions: ~31% in IBS and ~50% in obesity and type 2 diabetes.
- These overlaps quickly add up to tens of millions affected in the U.S.
