Understanding SIBO and its Root Causes
Hillary shares her struggles with SIBO, gastritis, and esophagitis. She started experiencing constant bloating and tried different probiotics with no results. She also had chest pain and gut pain. Possible contributors to her symptoms include dietary changes, increased stress, and exercise intensity. Hillary received a colonoscopy and was diagnosed with a torturous colon and gastritis. A positive SIBO breath test led to antibiotic treatment, but her constipation and symptoms persisted. Root causes of SIBO include impaired motility, low stomach acid, and previous surgeries. Functional labs and therapies such as GI MAP stool tests, prokinetics, hypnotherapy, and visualization exercises can help identify and address the underlying causes of SIBO.
