In this video we are talking about Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, also known as SIBO.

Now, this is a problem for a lot of people.

I've worked with many people who have had this issue.

But I have also had this issue myself, so I can give you some real clear advice as to

This problem can be very difficult to reverse in many cases, but let's go ahead and talk

about some of the different symptoms that arise with SIBO.

Let's go ahead and talk about the things that really cause SIBO.

And then what you need to do in order to reverse this issue.

Now, when we look at the small intestine let's do a quick little run through.

Basically the small intestine is responsible for taking food and absorbing the nutrients

So it is broken down, it goes into the small intestine, that's where it is absorbing

Then, after it goes into the small intestine it goes to the large intestine.

And in the large intestine the food is going to be broken down into waste so it can then

Now, the small intestine should have very little bacteria in it whereas the large intestine

What happens in people who have Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth is essentially that they

get a lot of bacteria that goes into that small intestine and it causes a lot of symptoms.

The first one is bloating and distention.

People wake up in the morning and their stomach feels huge.

They eat a meal and their stomach feels huge.

The reason for this and what is happening is that these different fibers and starches

and sugars are going into the small intestine and they are fermenting which causes a lot

So we have to make sure that we are watching fibers, starches, and sugars and also supplementation.

That's another place where many people go wrong is with supplementation.

They find out that they have some small intestine bacteria issues and they jump into supplementation

that actually is having a negative effect on them.

Someone can have constipation or diarrhea or actually alter between both.

Next is nutrient deficiencies or nutrient deficits.

When we look at this issue what essentially happens is that all that bacteria in the small

intestine is going and taking those nutrients and keeping them from you.

So though you may be consuming some different vitamins and you may be consuming a healthy

diet, the bacteria is getting those nutrients and your body is not.

So your body can really be starving in this case.

When people make chronic use of antacids - let's say they get heartburn all the time and they

are taking these antacids on a regular basis - I mean, I've heard of people taking them

What you do is you alter the pH in the intestines and in the stomach, and as a result of that

you create a very bad bacterial environment.

Now, the pH in the stomach is responsible for keeping certain bacteria at bay and keeping

If you alter that, then essentially what will happen is you can have the Small Intestine

If you're someone who has leaky gut, if you have Celiac, if you have Crohn's, if

you have any of these existing gut conditions it can really be a way of opening the door

So when we look at these different symptoms here, these are good signs that you are someone

who has Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth.

Now, some of the ways that you can also determine if you have it is you can do a stool analysis

and then you can also do a breath test that will go and give some good data as to whether

or not you have some of these issues going on.

But to kind of give yourself a good starting point this is a really good way to go, just

looking at some of these different symptoms and seeing if you have them, because if you

can look at all of these and go, “Yep, that's me, that's me, that's me,” then there

is probably a good chance that you have this SIBO issue.

Now, Step Two is looking at why it happens.

So there are a couple of things we have to consider.

So your immune system is just not functioning well.

Essentially, if you have chronic stress it is going to change and alter the way that

That's why people who have chronic stress get ulcers and all kinds of other issues.

Here we have someone who has depressed gastric acid.

It alters the pH and essentially you are opening the door for this bacteria to be in places

So that is something that we relate to the antacids and so on and so forth.

The other thing is irregular peristalsis.

Someone who is eating a lot and then is sitting at a desk chair all day, someone who is eating

Essentially what is going to happen is this causes an irregular peristalsis.

So movement of the body is very important for digestion and peristalsis.

So when we look at this issue it also can cause a Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth.

So these are some of the different reasons it can happen, some of the different reasons

But also we can look at poor diet and a few other things as well.

Now the next step is going to be how do you actually go in and solve this issue?
