- Alternative Health
We know that gut health is trending, it's pretty hot right now, right?! Well, tune in to today's episode as Mase explores SIBO with a bonafide SIBO doctor. Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, it's a deep dive today, exploring what the heck is this actually?! Mason and Dr Nirala cover the nuanced approach required to treating SIBO, exploring why it may be overdiagnosed and other gut symptoms (constipation, food sensitivities and more).
If you've ever traveled to a third world country, got some sort of bug, 'fixed it' and then realised you never truly recovered, then today's episode is for you! (Also, if gut health and immunity are important to you, you are going to love today's episode.)
Dive in, here are some of the stuff discussed in today's episode:
-The nuanced nature of SIBO when compared to irritable bowel syndrome
-To heal from SIBO, a strategic approach is required, not just a one-size-fits-all
-What role chronic stress plays in suffering from SIBO
-How hypothyroidism, mould exposure and other autoimmune diseases are connected to SIBO
-The misunderstanding around 'reseeding' the gut
-How the 'breath' test works in diagnosing SIBO
-Which foods to avoid during SIBO
-Dr Nirala's dietary treatment plan
-Dr Nirala covers the three possible treatment plans (herbs, antibiotics, diet)
-A brief touch on the Blood Type diets
