    Impact of POTS or Dysautonomia on the Endo Belly and IBS symptoms

    A while back I did an episode on Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome and Dysautonomia and its connection to endometriosis. If you haven’t listened to that episode, I’ve linked it in the show notes. Today I want to do a short episode on how POTS may be connected to your endo belly and IBS symptoms.

    Three Ways SIBO Can Contribute to Endo Symptoms Outside of Endo Belly and IBS

    So today marks the 400th This EndoLife episode! But it occurred to me that my first full episode on SIBO was episode 90! So for some of you, you may wonder why it’s such a big deal in my mind for people with endo. So I wanted to share some of the ways that SIBO can affect our endo symptoms, outside of the usual endo belly issues.

    Could MCAS/Mast Cells Be Contributing to Your Endo Belly and IBS Symptoms?

    A couple of months back I did an episode on mast cells, MCAS and endometriosis - so, if you haven’t listened to that episode, it’s a short one, and I would listen to it to get you up to speed on what mast cells are and their function, what MCAS is and what the connection is to endo. Today, we are talking about how MCAS, or even just mast cells, could be contributing to your endo belly, IBS and/or SIBO. If you want to learn more about the root causes of endo belly and IBS in the endo demographic, and you’re keen to understand the SIBO, MCAS, POTS and hEDS connection too, I am running a free workshop on Thursday July 23rd, 6pm British Summer time, live on Zoom.

    Could SIBO Antibiotics Also Help Treat Endometriosis?

    Antibiotics, understandably, have a bad reputation because of how much they’ve been overused in the past few decades, and the impact that has had on our gut microbiomes and overall health, not to mention, resistance development. So, when it comes to antibiotics for SIBO, most of my clients are initially hesitant to consider them, and will typically opt for antimicrobial herbs instead. However, there are some potential benefits of antibiotics for endometriosis, so I thought it was worth sharing these with you, so that if you find yourself having to treat SIBO, you can make an informed decision about which path you’d like to take.
