Understanding SIBO: What You Need to Know
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where an excessive number of bacteria are present in the small intestine. Normally, the small intestine contains fewer bacteria compared to the large intestine. However, with SIBO, the bacterial population in the small intestine increases, leading to digestive issues.
Symptoms of SIBO can include bloating, excessive gas, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and constipation. Often misdiagnosed as IBS, there are various causes of SIBO. From reduced stomach acid, antibiotic use, intestine surgery to gut and other medical conditions, many factors can contribute to the development of SIBO.
Diagnosis of SIBO typically involves a simple breath test or less commonly, direct sampling. A positive test result indicates the presence of SIBO, prompting the need for appropriate treatment. Historically, treatment often relied on antibiotics, but studies have shown relapse rates after antibiotics are common, with approximately 40% of patients experiencing recurrence of symptoms within 9 months of completing treatment.
Natural Treatment for SIBO Relief
Plant-based extracts have been shown to resolve cases of SIBO and resulting symptoms, making them an excellent choice for those who may have developed antibiotic resistance. By addressing the root causes and supporting overall gut health, SIBO natural treatments can provide effective relief and long-term benefits.
Herbs such as Oregano, Berberine, Ginger, Sage, Lemon Balm, Thyme and Stinging Nettle have antimicrobial properties that can help reduce bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine without the side effects often associated with antibiotics.
By incorporating these antimicrobial herbs, individuals with SIBO can harness the power of nature to reduce bacterial overgrowth and support gut health.
