In episode #4 of The Alex Manos Podcast I speak with Dr. Nirala Jacobi on SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), a very common cause of bloating, diarrhoea, constipation and other GI symptoms.
We discuss the causes of SIBO, which Dr. Jacobi breaks in to four different categories:
Motility issues
Digestive deficits
Obstructions/Adhesions
Medications
Dr. Jacobi's website is: www.thesibodoctor.com.
We discuss the challenges of methane dominant SIBO, and how we need to enhance our understanding of this type of SIBO to develop effective strategies/treatment.
We also discuss why histamine intolerance is such a common finding in individuals with SIBO, and, whether biofilm supplements are of benefit, when to consider them, and how the sequence them within a programme for maximal benefit.
