Dr Allison Siebecker has a great wealth of information. She also has a sparkling personality. Hoping to be a patient of hers.
I’m newly diagnosed Thanks so much for the excellent information
Fantastic podcast, greetings from Germany!👌☘️
I can’t quite remember over a year ago when I was diagnosed with hydrogen dominant SIBO but I don’t think I had diarrhea often, but I also don’t think my case is severe compared to other people. Maybe I caught it at the start of it developing because I’m one of those people who pay attention and notice when my equilibrium is off, so to speak. My main annoying symptoms were the uncomfortable abdominal bloating, sometimes intense nausea causing retching and maybe vomiting, and when it wasn’t so bad as that, I would get burping that didn’t seem to stop, probably after certain foods. I’m guessing now I am more educated about the condition, that they were the more fermentable foods. Cucumber seems to set me off even now. And my beloved celery and cilantro juice which I would think would be gut healing is not for me. I did follow the super restrictive SIBO diet for 3 months last year and most of my symptoms have gone. But now that I have allowed sugar, dairy, gluten and processed foods back into my life, occasionally the bloating and burps have come back. This week I am planning to go back onto the diet for several months and then be careful about what I eat. Sorry ice cream - tummy does not like you. I will be eating a lot of arugula and carrots for sure. I invented a tomato based meatball soup last year that filled me up and was really good. The husband is going to have to learn to fend for himself since he doesn’t really like healthy eating.
Oh, I did also have the debilitating fatigue and brain fog for sure. Used to have to have long naps in the afternoon if I wasn’t working that day. Now I can do my stretching exercises, yoga and walk the dog almost every day with no problem. My naturopath recommended Atrantil which has helped when symptoms appear. One thing I started trying recently is cbd oil. Maybe it will further help my gut to heal. I also feel much better when I stick to intermittent fasting, usually one meal a day. Also means I have to worry about less food prep and shopping.
Great information. I would love to get her thoughts on biofilm presence causing issues.
Which came first... The SIBO or my THYROID Condition?
THYROID is a secondary reaction to root issue.
I'm convinced I started with LEAKY GUT years ago and mild thyroid symptoms (end of eyebrows fading) many years agp but my T4 and T4 TSH numbers were fine!!
MERCI!!!
Ceylon cinnamon is different than cassia which is called cinnamon as well in many places including the US. I believe true Ceylon cinnamon is not hot but I could be wrong. They are very different so a clarification as which one is used would be appreciated.
Hi, I have tested for hydrogen dominat sibo but i have constipation as my stool symptom, is this normal from what you are saying. And would you recommend herbal or rifixaimin for treatment ?. Thank you
I don't know if you'll read this but I have the same issue here. I'm hydrogen and I have constipation as my second worst sympthom. Anyways, how are you? Did you find something useful?
Can sibo be treated with antibiotics through iv? I'm worried pills will flare my gastritis too.
The antibiotic prescribed for SIBO (rifaximin) is a tablet and is specifically designed to mostly stay in the small intestine, where the bacterial overgrowth is. An IV antibiotic would affect the whole body so would kill bacteria everywhere, not just in the SI. Working with a skilled SIBO doc who also understands gastritis would be important.
How can I get the text for Sibo
pls tell us WHAT TYPE CAPSULE Berberine etc to use to deliver Meds to SIBO location? If capsules disintegrate in large intestine - how would that treat SIBO? won't it just kill good intestinal bacteria?? Is the reason u use such HIGH DOSE is u using wrong capsule coating?
I always thought I had SIBO cos I was on antibiotics back in 2013 due to a car accident I involved in, I abused them after, lately my symptoms gotten worse, Some doctors are clueless, at first he said it’s IBS suggested FODMAP, then I persisted asked him to write me all the tests like, pancreatic, celiac, thyroid, metabolic, liver etc then I asked him to write for SIBO and also CT scan of my whole gut, before I got the CT done SIBO results came out I am positive, It took 7 months to figure it out after my relentless pursuit of numerous tests. Now I am worried if my doc actually knows how to interpret those results correctly and what if the machine didn’t give me accurate results! Doc says it’s hydrogen SIBO, I asked about methane levels, he says it’s base start is at 8 which is a little higher than usual. I am confused how to approach my treatment, any help is appreciated!
Drink about 10 pints of Guinness every day for a week, then you'll know what you got your arsehole for...LoL.😂
I had very similar results, and my hydrogen went up to 180ppm! I did a few rounds of Xifaxan since my diagnosis in 2019. Need to go back and find out if it actually worked
Yea I had the same situation. Smh…doctors these days. And they are so convicted. I was telling my doctor for 6 months I don’t feel right. Smh
is It possible that another reason for being constipated, although hydrogen dominant , could be fungal overgrowth in the gut? Ex. candida.
LOUDER !!! 📢
How long have you had Sibo?
yep, they tell you that this rifamain is the way to go but insurance don't want to prove it and it's extremely expensive it's all about money money
Can rifaximin be combined with antimicrobials? Or should one avoid other supplements while on the antibiotic?
Yes you can combine it with herbals like Allicin for instance if you’re treating methane SIBO
@@TheHealthyGuts Thank you for the reply. I did the SIBO breath test, and I am hydrogen dominant. My nutritionist recommended taking rifaximin, but said no other supplements are needed. I was just wondering if taking herbal supplements could speed up the process.
@@TsukimiTube best to try rifaximin alone otherwise you won’t know if it worked or if the herbs worked. More isn’t always better when it comes to treating the overgrowth.
How did you find out that you have adhesions? is there a test for that?
Check out my video on adhesions: ua-cam.com/video/LeHW68aSQOk/v-deo.html
its basically a side effect from abdominal surgeries
Is there any difference in herbal antibiotics treatments for the hydrogen, methane and hydrogen-sulfide types of SIBO?
Yes. Have you watched my videos on the other types of SIBO? You can start with this one on methane SIBO: ua-cam.com/video/BJSSRW2siv0/v-deo.html
@@TheHealthyGuts a
Can you treat methane and hydrogen together by using a mix of different herbals? Ie berberine and allicin and oregano oil?
Yes. Methane requires a combo to be treated successfully. Dr Siebecker has treatment info on her website which you will find helpful. www.siboinfo.com
@@TheHealthyGuts this may be where I’m failing. This has made my day, I will discuss with my practitioner!! Thank you so much x
I don't have diahorrea or constipation but I poop 3 times a day. Small bubbles r coming out my stool is semi solid wth gaps wen I eat carbohydrate after 2 hours I feel this cold menthol feeling from my stomach to between my chest then to throat mouth nose and then I feel the cold menthol gaseous feeling to my eyes . I close my eyes for some time. Wen i get this cold gaseous in my mouth my inner cheeks and my lips become cold and I have to tap my face to make me feel better. Do u think it's sibo. In India thay have stoped sibo breath test because of corona. One doc said it sounds like sibo or gut Fermentation
What did you figure out? Do you have sibo? I am from India too. Kindly do assist me
How long should we treat with the 2 supps? I’m doing berberine and neem but unsure if I missed the duration of the protocol....
It depends on how high your gas numbers are and how quickly your body responds to treatment. Did you do a breath test to diagnose your SIBO?
@@TheHealthyGuts Wow! Thank you so much for your quick reply. 😍 I’m using the FoodMarble Air 2 so the conversion isn’t available to non-healthcare providers, but from some Reddit research and according to Dr. Davis, respectively, methane converts by 4.4 and hydrogen by 5, so:
Methane 2.5 (x 4.4) = 11ppm
Hydrogen 7.9 (x5) = 39.5ppm
These were my highest scores. 😅 Scary hydrogen.
@@MsJordanaIsabel I would actually considered that low hydrogen. Many of my clients have readings over 100ppm for both hydrogen and methane. The food marble can be a handy at home device but for a formal diagnosis it is always best to use a SIBO breath test, such as the one produced by QuinTron.
@@TheHealthyGuts Thank you so much for your reply! You’ve helped me put it into perspective. I’m also dealing w H Pylori and parasites, so it’s hard to know what is causing what anymore. 😅 Have a great weekend!
What kind of Dr is she? I need one in my area Massachusetts
I'm bloated every morning after a few sips of water😑 i do think I have sibo but can't find any doctor in Belgium who can help diagnosing and healing ☹️ saccharomyces boulardii does help a bit but ok it's not healing my gut 😑
How is your opinion on SIBO as side effect from Ciprofloxacin ? Someone told me today and it sounded very familiar. I think in the US Ciprofloxacin is also on a black list. I was given this antibiotic and there my SIBO started.
Me, too, except my existing sibo was exasperated by cipro.
i got it to treat sibo lol
Mine started after cipro as well. My health insurance refused to pay for rifaxamin, stating that I have to try cipro first, even though it caused pancreatitis!
@@Andreabay90 did it work?
Ur awesome 😍👍🏻👍🏻
I've just tested positive for both hydrogen and methane sibo - is this uncommon?
No it’s pretty common. Most of my SIBO coaching clients have both gases.
Greetings from Russia!!!
Some good things about hydrogen sulfide...
Stalin was greatly disturbed by pain in the joints of the arms and legs. He believed that it was rheumatism, which he "earned" during his four-year exile to Eastern Siberia. The hydrogen sulfide waters of the vicinity of Matsesta (Sochi) helped Stalin, and the pains practically disappeared. So Stalin had a dacha on Matsesta, and on the Agura River the first structures providing hydrogen sulfide water to the Soviet leader. Later, public concrete fonts and uncomplicated infrastructure necessary for the treatment of people appeared on Agura.
The number of those suffering from healing grew, but the debit of Agura's hydrogen sulfide source was small. As a result, a new source of hydrogen sulfide water was discovered on the Matsesta River with a higher debit.
Nevertheless, the half-abandoned and dilapidated infrastructure of the hydrogen sulfide sources of the Agura River continues to be popular.

Very interesting, Mihail. Thank you for sharing this information.
I have Hydrogen Dominant SIBO and Rifaximin did not work. My ONLY symptoms are BLOATING and Distension.
Did you try a herbal protocol?
@@TheHealthyGuts Hi. Thanks for responding. Right now my gastroenterologist has me on Berberine, Oregano and Dybisode. And I have no relief. I am seeking a naturopath doctor.
@@Newbeg09 Hi! How did the herb protocol go? I also have hydrogen dominant SIBO and Xifaxan did nothing for me.
@@Newbeg09 maybe try elemental diet?
Had the same issue, but at least now my bowels are normal
I’m confused. I’m hydrogen dominant by results but supper from constipation 😢
Hydrogen dominant SIBO doesn’t mean you can’t have constipation. It could mean there’s something else going in which is causing the constipation (eg adhesions).
@@TheHealthyGuts ohhh thank you! Also I don’t have any diarrhoea which is why I was confused. I’m always constipated.
@@TheHealthyGuts could stomach liposuction cause adhesion and SIBO? I think my liposuction did this to me but not sure that it correlates.
@@Itstrulytiffany yes liposuction could cause scar tissue (adhesions) which could lead to SIBO.
@@TheHealthyGuts it’s amazing that the surgeons never warn about this. All of my gut issues started after liposuction and got worse after I had my first baby even though I had vaginal birth. Is there any other way to treat adhesions if you can’t get to this clinic?
Hydrogen dominant fighting for 4 months straight. Sometimes I just want to die. But I'll be seeing a naturopath soon, and I hope it helps.
I’m sorry I’ve been having a tough time with it. Are you working with a SIBO specialist or trying to do it on your own?
I feel your pain, what are your symptoms? 🙏
Does SIBO cause malnutrition or decreased absorption of nutrients from food? I’m trying to get pregnant but just tested positive to hydrogen dominant SIbO. Is SIbO correlated with malnourished babies or autism or any negative outcome?
Yes, SIBO can reduce the nutrients, vitamins and minerals we are able to absorb through food. I don’t believe there are any studies linking malnourished babies and/or autism to SIBO. The foetus will always be prioritised from a nutrient perspective but women often want to clear their SIBO prior to conceiving so they’re in the best health for the pregnancy, not to mention not having to deal with SIBO symptoms while also pregnant!
My name is Susan, I have seven for seven moans. I take antibiotic twice relief. your relief interested of your treatment. I am seeing my G.I. doctor on Monday.
Sibo Susan I am very frustrated
Was going so well until she said meet works well. What about all the other illnesses meet causes
Everyone is different. Some people do better on a carnivore diet. What're going to do? Deny these people meat?
