In this video, I explain how SIBO can steal your nutrients and, as a result, damage your health.

SIBO stands for small intestine bacterial overgrowth. Here’s what happens: normally, your friendly bacteria live in your large intestine. But if they migrate to your small intestine, the microbes start fermenting your carbohydrates and eating your nutrients — especially B12, iron, and bile.

Bloating, abdominal pain and gas are some of the side effects, but the most consequential one is nutritional deficiencies. When you’re deficient in B12, you could have serious neurological issues, shooting, stabbing pain, and anemia among other symptoms. An iron deficiency will also cause anemia as well as fatigue. And if you’re too low in bile, you can’t digest fats thus you’re unable to extract fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E as well as vitamin K and essential fatty acids.

SIBO can develop because of many things. One is if your digestive system was surgically altered, allowing the bacteria to go into the small intestine. Or it can occur if you don’t have enough stomach acid to kill off microbes, which arrive with your food then can pass through to the small intestine.

Here’s what you can do if you have SIBO:

● Increase your stomach acid. Start by taking betaine hydrochloride, in pill form. Take at least five before each meal.
● Take apple cider vinegar regularly. You can get pills that combine betaine hydrochloride with apple cider vinegar.
● Do intermittent fasting to give your digestive system a chance to reset and clean itself out. When you fast, your food tends to be washed into the large intestine by the hair-like cilia in your bowel. I believe you can never fully handle SIBO unless you do intermittent fasting.
● Avoid prebiotics; that is, fiber, for at least a month to six weeks. Yes, I include not eating vegetables in this recommendation. Microbes will ferment the fiber.
● Avoid probiotics too, as part of keeping down your microbe numbers. And definitely don’t take products that combine pre-and probiotics!
● Take an herbal antibiotic such as oregano, thyme, or cloves to create an antimicrobial environment.

SIBO is way more common than you may know; and, one of the major problems with it is the nutritional deficiencies it can create, which will damage your health.
