SIBO vs. Candida: How to Tell the Difference
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- SIBO and candida have very similar symptoms (bloating, IBS), making it really difficult to tell them apart. So, how can you tell SIBO and candida apart? Is there a good test? Or are there any indicators that can tip you off to one or the other?

Based on my personal experience, it really depends on where your candida is located that affects how you react to sugar. My primary symptom is fatigue. When I eat simple sugars (banana, apple, milk, etc), I don't react strongly. However, when I eat complex carbs like oatmeal, chia, beans, I'm guaranteed to feel tired for a couple days. Pretty sure it's because I've got candida lodged in my large intestine. The simple sugars get absorbed in my small intestine, while the complex resistant carbs make their way to my large intestine and provide fuel for the candida bugs. On the other hand, if you have candida in your small intestine (SIFO), then you will react strongly to simple sugars.
Try tributyrin my friend. Besides biofilm disrupter on empty stomach.
@@radishwhite7834how did u take it and how did it help
@@zahra9075 biofilm disruptor on empty stomach. If tributyrin is too expensive, eat various soluble fiber foods everyday like oats, bananas, blueberries
Verry helpful. I figure Candida is in large intestine. Beiing treatenf for SIBO. Fatigue after soup w/beans and pasta.
Great info!! So glad I found this channel
Stress is such a biggie, to relax my body , cortisol, gut, i had to give up caffeine and tabbaco
Affects our nervous system… need to chill. Rest n digest.
Dr Dineeza thank you for all your information about SIBO. You have helped me cure mine. In another video I commented about getting tinnitus after eating. You were nice enough to respond that you did not know how that happened. Well it was my atlas disc. As soon as I started to do stretching in my neck to release the tension I actually started burping annd passing gas.
Thank you again
✌
I get tinnitus after eating. I suspect it is histamine related. I would like to know more about the atlas disc.

How did you cure it please can you tell me
My c2 disc was misaligned. Chiropractor put it back in place. Was pressing on vegus nerve.
I didn't realize that sugar didn't fuel SIBO 🤔 I thought it did. I'm dealing with both SIBO & Candida overgrowth unfortunately though. This video was so helpful too especially about the causes of motility issues, thank you
It dóes feed SIBO. MAST’s shotgun sequencing publication even saw a 63-fold upregulation of glucose metabolism in an average SIBO biome. The thing is that your small intestine absorbs it very quickly, even before the E. coli and Klebsiella species can get to it, so the net effect is somewhat vague.
@@Ruktiet ohhh wow that's nice to know! Thanks for sharing
😊
I believe that I have both sibo and candida, too. Can I ask you about how you are dealing with it? I feel lost because everyone is talking about the solution if you only have one of them! But I have them both and I don’t know what to do! For example, people who have candida must take probiotics, while people who have sibo must stay away from probiotics! Can you please share your experience and thoughts with me?
@@alaamansour2476 I completely understand your frustration and struggle because it was the same confusion with me! I have since learned that probiotics can actually help SIBO a lot! It's the pre-biotics that you might want to avoid in the beginning phases of treating it (basically- avoid having too much fiber and carbs until the SIBO is reduced enough). What works really well for me is to take the probiotics separate from my supplements/herbs for attacking the overgrowths. I always feel better when I take the probiotics. I like to take it at night an hour before bed. Are you aware of biofilms as well? I can explain more if you want me to later, in the meantime I will share the main things I've done to greatly reduce my SIBO and what I believe to help the most. 1) a good probiotic 2) with meals taking either Betaine HCL OR diluted vinegar mixed with water and rinse mouth with plain water after, HOWEVER you might not tolerate this at first, so be careful and maybe start by taking just a super tiny amount and I would also take oregano oil or oregano tablet right before. For me this helped prevent the bacteria in my stomach from hurting my stomach lining in response to the hcl or vinegar (people with overgrowths likely have it in their stomach too- i use to get stabbing pains in stomach witout the oregano. But i needed the vinegar or HCL because my body wasn't making enough acid which acid is needed to prevent sibo and digest food) 3) taking a biofilm disruptor (Like biocidin OR and enzyme based formula or both, i like to take both ) 4) Digestive enzymes with meals, preferably one with a wide range of enzymes 5) eating more protein and healthier sources of fats and omega 3 like quality fish oil, unheated virgin olive oil etc I like to take a shot of them every day lol unless its a part of my meal 6) take magnesium, adjust the amount as needed. I take a capsule 3 times a day it works best when I spread it out. Take vitamin C adjusting as needed but start low with the vitamin c don't do too much at first, it can painfully flush out your whole system in high doses lol i also think a good quality multi vitamin 7) ideally you'll target the infections 3 times a day with something. For me I got good results with a few things: oregano gradual-release tablets because the tablets travel through the entire small intestine without breaking down fully until they've traveled all the way through, I had to take it with meals so that the bacteria won't eat my food or cause pains while eating. another supplement called Candidase from Enzymedica is incredible. They even make an extra strength one. Candidase should be taken on empty stomach between meals for it to work best. 8) proper sleep and deep breathing, it sounds cliche but my infections always got worse when I didn't sleep well, didn't get enough fresh air, and didnt do deep breathing. Must get in the habit of taking multiple deep breaths throughout the day, at least 10 at a time, three times a day and before meals. It helps your entire body function SO much better. It helps before bed too it helps me sleep but sometimes I'll use an affordable low-dose melatonin from a store. Magnesium should help improve the sleep too. 9)gentle exercise, increased as tolerated.
I now believe in our body's ability to heal if put in the right circumstances, if money were extremely tight and one is able to prioritize sleep, deep breathing, relax/manage stress, walking or exercising, and greatly reducing carbs/fiber, eating plenty protein, eating natural food, and taking HCL or vinegar water or even bitter foods with meals. Eventually when you start doing well, gradually adding fiber that you tolerate. When I'm doing well, I tolerate many fibers now perfectly fine. It's when I don't sleep well, or get to bed too late, that's when I struggle most. Or when I eat too much carbs and not enough protein.
Some other things that have helped me are amino acids, because they help give you instantly absorbable protein that your body uses to fight the infections. Liposomal glutathione because Candida interferes with our ability to make glutathione. Glycine + taurine always helped too, they help fight infection and help the liver which needs lots of support. Chlorophyll is amazing too it can protect against so many things, that one I plan on taking for life. I also had to cut out gluten and dairy, they tend to cause an insane amount of inflammation for many people. My practitioner also has me take a dairy-free immunoglobulin supplement that also has n-acetyl-d-glucosamine in it. They help heal the gut lining.
I know this all seems like a lot. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I hope this message posts, UA-cam doesn't always let me post replies. And sorry this was so long! I wish you the best in healing, and feel free to ask me any more questions. 😊 I'm not a professional of course so we must always evaluate any possible risks before starting a new supplement, especially if you take medications or have another health condition
I honestly wonder with myself. 15 years ago I had candida and a bacterial imbalance disorder at Dr.whittakers office out here in ca. Sadly he isn't in town anymore. Loved that place. Some of my symptoms are similar to then. Very frustrating. Just sent back tests so hopefully I find out soon. Last time I fixed it with flagyl and a probiotic and no junk food.
Great Video! I was wondering about your thoughts on Candida testing via stool tests - are they reliable or are false negatives common?
Thank you for your amazing work 🙏🏼
Get a CDSA stool test. The Candida Crusher program suggests that getting one of those asap in very important
How would CSID affect all this? Just had positive sucrose test. Had SIBO since last fall. Trying to find root cause still 😢
Excellent Info.
Great video! What are the (physical) symptoms of Candida (and other fungal) and SIBO? Are skin rashes (e.g., eczema) at particular regions of body associated with any of them?
Eczema is more likely to be Candida related but could also be sign of parasites. Google how to take castor oil for parasites. Two days in a row is best
I still believe there is no way to separate them out,the only way to do that is by trying different medications one at the time and seeing how your body responds.
Most have BOTH
I either caught some virus or ingested mold had extreme symptoms for 3 months, a lot of stress followed so sick ended prednisone for 3 weeks n been worse ever since in terms of gut issues. One thing after another, bloated, gut pain, constipated, asthma worse, allergies to everything - I’m way more sensitive, skin issues. Insomnia Like
it’s not stopping! I think I have leaky gut.
Poor bile flow can also cause bowel issues, which present as bloating and cramping.
I get candida after swimming in a chlorine pool. I itch all over for 1 or more days and crave sugar. Now I take a thorough shower beforehand to soak my skin and afterwards I scrub really hard and use Vit C cream . Now it is 95% better. The real test is in winter when the skin is dryer and more apt to absorb the chlorine.
Sounds like skin sensitivity, probably allergies. This can happen when our guts are in bad way
Would sugar from fruit give away candida? Or is it primarily simple sugar??
Thanks for yet another informative video! I have a question. I don’t react to sugar but I react BADLY to yeast and anything fermented. Could this be a sign of Candida or maybe something else?
Reacting to yeast and fermented foods is very common in SIBO as many people with SIBO have histamine intolerance. Definitely worth looking into, maybe keep a food diary and see if other high-histamine foods give you similar reactions?
@@ellieoakes2111 I’ve already ruled out histamine intolerance but I didn’t know that many people with SIBO have issues with fermented foods. Thank you!
Biogenic amine intolerance such as histamine, tyramine, cadaverine, putrescine, spermidine, spermine is the very likely cause. Otherwise it could ne an actual allergy to certain fungus. You can test for these at an allergist.
Hi I have been prescribed movicol & lactulose by colorectal surgeon. Are there are prescription laxatives or stool softeners that I can have prescribed that don't ruin the microbiome? Thanks
Would think best to take more fiber rich foods than prescription
Can large intestine disbiosis lead to sibo if it messes up your motility. For example, IBS-C? In this case, could IBS, dysbiosis or large bowel overgrowths be a root cause of SIBO too?
Sounds like you may have intestinal parasites
How do I contact you to get into one of your classes or ask you questions?
Do you do phone appointments?
I’m watching this cause in ate cookies and my symptoms went wild
Is bloating after ANY food, sugar or no sugar, more pointing to SIBO?
It could but I'd be trying to improve stomach acid and enzymes, bile flow if that's the problem
When you say antibiotics are you referring to more broad spectrum systemic antibiotics or rifaxamin? Or both?
Any antibiotic will cause opportunity for fungus to increase by killing the competition, except nitrofurantoin for uti
darn it I think I have both! lol great!
If you are to low of bifidobacteria because you are not breast fed you gonna life on chronic cortisol without knowing it. Cause also Candida
Do you offer help to those without sibo but other issues?
Lol, I had H.pylori and took PPI,s and antibiotics. Issues weren't good when I came off the antibiotcs, so I probably have both.
How are you now? Same thing happened to me and now every meal sugar or no sugar gives me gas
Ive tried ginger and artichoke to no help. The #1 motility agent is ive found so far is moresea salt and more h20.
Did you try garlic?
My nutritionist has me on a low fodmap diet to starve the bacteria + candibactin protocol for 2 months. (After 30-35 days on the protocol we will be adding pre-probiotic). My gut stool test showed gut dysbiosis, a low immune system score and high chances for candida/ sibo (but obviously didn't confirm if I had it). And I was also diagnosed with ibs by a GI doctor for my symptoms of chronic diarrhea, bloating and some GI pain. In your experience can this treatment be successful? I'm super paranoid because I have been dealing with this for over a year.
Take ginger root and artichoke extract. Follow directions on whatever brand you buy. It’ll cure you. If this is what you problem truly is.
Don’t add a pre biotic or pro biotic. Why feed you body more bacteria when you are trying to repair your gut? Also. Find a new nutritionist.
Good luck to you.
Cipro and metronidazole causes vitb1 deficiency and mitochondria damage which will make sibo sifo bcm worst due to gastrointestinal beri beri
Hello, Dr. Do you do online consultations?
Hola
I use medicinal cannabis for pain and insomnia (I have ME/Lyme) but my bloating and motility seems to be worse. Have you any first hand knowledge as to whether THC impacts motility? Thank you, I am very interested in the FODMAPS freedom.
If its oil, in my experience it slows things down, I get constipation now where I used to be running to the bog. Sorry tmi, but yeah it works that way for me 😊 magnesium helps xx
That's interesting to know. Thank you for replying@@lroyjohnston5560 I will keep going with the magnesium as it's the only thing that helps me. xx
Yes cannibis is known to worsened motility
I woke up one morning feeling happy and that is not like me. The only difference was that I had not had sugar the day before.
I would have had intense Abx but age 7 as my appendix burst and I got septicemia. I just slept well from no sugar and muscle feel more energised. But if I have dairy I get constipated if I have dairy.
They told me I had candida overgrowth but I don't take antibiotics and idk if I have something suppressing my immune system 😭 i get canker sores/trush on my tongue all the time. My hormone levels are all low im on constant fight or flight
Peau darco
Should I take sunfiber if I have candida/mold issues
Is that the prebiotic?
@@melriini8280 yes it is
What about white coating on tounge which, when I scrape my tounge goes away but comes back after some time, is it bcoz of sibo or candida?
from what i know, that is a Candida situation not sure you get anything like that with SIBO, as that is more of a yeast infection symptom
That is my question as well. I have always read, gathered from videos, that a white coated tongue (especially at the back of the tongue which is the large intestine) is candida. Yet when I have tried recommendations to improve such as taking pro and prebiotics, depending on the product, I see no improvement or feel a bit worse. The feeling worse part is supposed to be reflective of SIBO. As the video indicates it can be very confusing.
@@WilliamJones80 yes bro same situation with me I feel maybe we have both sibo & sifo
I have white coated tongue from 6 years with alot of bloating, very little appetite
Is low appetite a symptom of candida ??
Its funny how the same herbs treat both
Can you tell us what herbs help?
Which ones? Ive tried alot and nothing works
@@eldymart1 Oregano, berberine and allicin

has anyone experience chronic tenesmus with this as well as other horrible symptoms but tenesmus being the absolute worst ?!
Wouldn't it be better to name this video SIBO vs SIFO? Candida might be the most common SIFO, or is it? We don't have good testing in any case.
Yep, good point. I have saccharomices cerevisiae overgrowth not candida but havn't find anything on how to reduce it yet
What if you don’t have Candida (tested negative, don’t have the typical symptoms of thrush, don’t have one of the root causes listed and found Candida diets/treatments ineffective). But you react strongly to sugar? Are there certain bacterial strains that feed off of sugar? Particularly ones in the large bowel rather than sibo??
Sugar typically causes me brain fog, headaches and body odor. Can this be a symptom of large bowel dysbiosis too.
I have the same question, research suggests that certain pathogens such as ecoli feed off glucose so I don't think it's a stretch at all. Ecoli has been named as one of the primary pathogens found in people with SIBO.
Thank you so much 💓
What is PPI
i think I have both. >.
My fart smell like rotten eggs.. Seven months off of antibiotics for h pylora. My low right side always hurt me. Four hours after I eat like gas pressure But I do not get extremely bloated.
I tested for sibo but it was negative.
Sulfur rotten egg smell is usually hydrogen sulfide sibo
@@dprice81 But I don't get bloated. Just gas on my right side
Did you also have badbreath ?😢
@@tamianicoledoingme3007do you also have loose stools, undigested food in stools etc
I still don’t know after watching this video?????? A blood test said candida and high zonulin. So what is that???? I am assuming follow a candida diet.?????
Candida and leaky gut
Research Research I'm such a mystery
Have reactions to gluten and sugar now for 12 years
Interestingly, the reaction is always 2 weeks later . of course I steer clear but on holidays have slipped up. It all started after I took doxycycline for Lyme
Is my body somewhat ruined from that !? I'm ready to do some serious cleanses
the smells in my poop change from very sweet to peroxide type smell to occasional sulphur 🙄
The graph she made and her explanation of things is hard to follow because it's kind of all over but also too simple. She doesn't really go into detail. If that makes sense
So I have had 'IBS' for over 20 years now. my diagnosis was the doctor pressing the lump in my intestine, 2/3rd of the way from my belly button to my left hip.
The lump NEVER moves location. but sometimes goes quiet and soft.
I don't think it is IBS.
I honestly cannot remember that far back about antibiotics, but back then I was a normal omnivore, but to be honest, mostly living on kebabs and pot noodles.
Now I am plant based and fast, lump is still there.
I am only now coming round to a possible IBS/sibo/sifo/candida confusion.
pretty much as of today. I am attempting to make efforts.
I took bile (already had it for gallstones caused by massive omnivore weigh loss on extended 'fast' (economic fast rather than my current intentional) overloaded my gall with stored cholesterols and such. I even partook of a little bit of honey and ACV.
I will have a mix of probiotics in the next few days including the acid one.
any insights on my current journey?
not seen a doctor in about as long except for when I went to hospital for the stones. diagnosis.
edit: used to be a massive sugar junkie. but been sugar free for a few years now...except bread and fruit.
See a naturopathic doctor or get a homeopath.
@@Ane127 Many thanks. It is hard to explain this but I am a full on solar punk, Already got further using the combination of available science and AI.
Narrowed it down to an imbalance of Smithii, so far among a few things I will not mention on the internet at this time, I took another double dose of bile, just as a pre attempt to give a bit of a natural flush knowing my bile situation has been bad in the past. a perfectly reasonable surfacant that gut flora is used to. This seemed to have a bit of a direct immediate effect on motility with some rather old stuff leaving.
I waited a day for it to advance down the system and let nature do with it as it pleases then followed it with some plant based probiotic pill and 2 probiotic yogs,
so far in my guts have been their sleepiest ever, I can still fell my lump but its very in quiet mode and the rest of my guts just feels calm, I feel a bit more lucid and really quite hungry. my transit time before this was around 14 hours. I am still awaiting last nights meal...
Only real issue that I call an issue is I have had a lot of pressure in my head and quite a head ache, but since clarity of thought is improving I am riding it out with pain killers for now and presuming it is toxin cleaning or a last stand of anything unpleasant my slightly overlarge army of good bacteria and cascading events is causing.
But I personally have never come across the two words 'naturopathic doctor' strung together before this conversation, so I can now plug that into my worldview and see what comes out! Much appreciated!
Well, it just sucks if you did everything wrong and you took the Cipro for a month you took their proton pump inhibitors you got candida diagnosis and Cibo and seafood. Don’t even know where to start. Don’t eat any sugars or package foods and I’m very limited on foods now, totally fucked up my system. Thanks. Stupid doctors and western medicine but sad is none of them even believe that Steve is real or candida. My GPs have looked at me like I’m crazy. They tell me that my symptoms were not real functional doctor even that functional doctor does not know how to fix it. He’s never even heard of H2 S. I want to do your program and see if I can get anywhere doing that.
