Taking away the problem of course helps, especially if it was a problem that has been gong on for years, however its very likely that in the absence of the offending food extra steps need to be taken to restore order and rebuild previous resistance. However, if your assumption is that the body will just then repair itself, and all will be good as new again, you can quite often be mistaken. Maybe they ignore a problem food to avoid the symptom.
Bacterial overgrowth from overconsumption of sugar crack#
I also can help with issues that develop from people that just prefer to ignore their gut problems and crack on regardless. I can get told its IBS and they just need to get on the peppermint oil again or arrange another course of antibiotics. Healthy for them and healthy in general are not the same thing, close but sometimes not close enough. People routinely say, “I eat a healthy diet!”, well clearly not as they have symptoms. I am saying all this not to make it confusing and look like it’s impossible to figure out what you have going on or what to then do about it, but to show that the body is complex, the digestive and immune system are complex, however if you collect the right information and consider deeper and more thorough investigation you can absolutely figure out what your actual issues are. In others identifying a gluten issue is found to be a symptom of loss of gut function, imbalance in good bacteria levels, and an inappropriate response of the immune system. Then there are clients with what seems like IBS that turn out on testing, confirmed to be SIBO. Only to find out it was a gluten intolerance, which is very real and biochemical, you measure it, get a number and work to reduce that number and reduce the associated symptoms. I have worked with some of these people that started off feeling like they must be mostly exaggerating it and decided it probably was all in their heads, more a symptom of depression, low self esteem and lack of purpose in life. I have spoken to many clients that have been to their doctors with IBS type symptoms, mostly constipation, diarrhoea or both and left feeling it must all be in their head and can do no more than suck it up buttercup. Then there are others that have never heard of SIBO. Some people think SIBO is IBS, correctly referred to as a functional digestive system disorder, and some people think SIBO is something totally different from IBS, and others think SIBO is IBD, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, mostly common of two types, Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn’s Disease. Hydrogen/methane breath testing is the most widely used method of testing for this overgrowth. When commensal bacteria multiply in the small intestine to the point of overgrowth, IBS is likely. These gases are produced as the product of metabolism, specifically of fermentation (breaking down for digestion) of carbohydrates by your gut bacteria. Its been found that reducing the bacterial overgrowth leads to a 75% reduction in IBS symptoms.īacterial overgrowth leads to impairment of digestion and absorption, and in turn produces excess quantities of hydrogen and/or methane gas. Breath testing is the new technique of choice for SIBO identification. SIBO is a common cause of IBS – in fact it is involved in over half the cases of IBS and as high as 84% in one study using breath testing as the diagnostic marker.
It is categorised by abnormally large numbers of commensal (bugs that are natural, normal, supposed to be living within us) bacteria normally making a home for themselves in the large intestine then becoming resident in the small intestine. Small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), is a digestive condition that is being spoken more and more about, you will see more blog and social media posts talking about it, this is in large part due to the improved availability of testing options, as well as practitioners becoming more informed about the distinctions in gut function that make this a specific area for consideration in the average clients journey to health freedom.
