Solving Gut issues by treating your SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)

SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth and is characterised by an abnormal amount of bacteria in the small intestine. (1) Patients diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and especially diarrhoea-predominant IBS are likely to show a higher frequency of SIBO. (2)  Other digestive symptoms commonly experienced include abdominal pain, belching, bloating, distension, flatulence and indigestion. (1) Alternating bowels (both diarrhoea and constipation) are also commonly experienced when SIBO is present, and cases may also present with constipation varying in severity.

If you have IBS, consider SIBO, naturally.

As a growing number of patients are interested in using complementary and alternative therapies for their gastrointestinal health(3) a diagnosis of SIBO is more likely to be identified by a Naturopath. A meta-analysis has shown that the prevalence of SIBO is approximately 56% among patients with IBS(3) so it is well worth understanding if it is at the root of your digestive problems. When it comes to natural solutions, the good news is that Herbal therapies are shown to be at least as effective as antibiotic therapy(3) when it comes to treating SIBO. Once identified, there is a real opportunity to offer solutions – especially when IBS symptoms are poorly managed by improving the associated digestive complaints.

Read on for further insight into SIBO including how it impacts digestive health, associated conditions (including thyroid health), testing and treatment.

The impact of SIBO

Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine:(2)

Disrupts digestion and absorption > Ferments ingested carbohydrates causing increased gas production > Results in bloating and flatulence > Cause abdominal pain or discomfort > Produces toxic by-products > Damages the inner lining of the small intestine and colon.

Causes and Associated Health Conditions

Many conditions have a strong correlation with SIBO, some of which predispose a person to develop SIBO and others, resulting from the presence of SIBO. A variety of disorders include:(1),(3),(4),(5)

  • Acne rosacea
  • Abdominal surgery (e.g., hysterectomy, gastrectomy, cholecystectomy, and colectomy)
  • Anaemia and/or B12 deficiency
  • Bariatric surgery (such as gastric bypass surgery) in morbidly obese patients
  • Coeliac disease
  • Diabetes
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
  • Obesity
  • Older age
  • PPI therapy (proton pump inhibitors) for the treatment of reflux
  • Restless legs syndrome

Hypothyroidism and SIBO

Patients with hypothyroidism and especially patients taking prescribed Levothyroxine showed a higher prevalence of SIBO in a multivariate analysis. (4) Since hypothyroidism slows gut motility and is a common cause of constipation, this stagnation may allow for the overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.

Testing

Symptoms alone cannot be used to establish a SIBO diagnosis since they are broad-ranging testing is required. (1) Lactulose and glucose breath tests are patient-friendly methods and the most utilised diagnostic tests, which are low cost, non-invasive and provide sufficient accuracy. (5,6) The test measures for hydrogen and methane gases produced by the gut flora in response to the ingested lactulose or glucose.

An innovative new blood test named IBS-smart™ can help diagnose whether the cause of SIBO resulted from an episode of food poisoning. Research shows that over 60% of diarrhoea-predominant IBS cases could be post-infectious. This test was due to be launched in Australia in March 2020 but has since been delayed. We look forward to a time soon when we can offer this invaluable test to our patients to help them to understand the root cause of their gut issues potentially fully.

Treatment

A general approach to treating SIBO includes:

1 A tailored diet – Dietary manipulation may help those with SIBO(5) and similarly to the FODMAPS diet used to manage IBS, aims to reduce gas and bloating. Our Naturopaths expertly guide you on your individual needs, including vegetarian preferences, appropriate carbohydrate and calorie intake as well as considering food intolerances and meal planning.

2. Herbal medicine – Aimed at reducing bacterial counts in the small intestine and improving digestive function an individualised prescription of herbs in liquid, tablet and capsules forms are elected according to your clinical presentation and test results

3. Gut healing agents – Additional script items may be suggested based on the need, such as improving and healing associated leaky gut, managing bowel movements, and supporting the treatment phase. Prebiotic and probiotic therapy is often included at a later stage of a treatment since both fibres, and ‘good’ bacteria can potentially be aggravating in the presence of SIBO.

As always, when it comes to Naturopathic care, we seek to treat the individual and the root cause. SIBO is a diagnosis relevant to many who suffer from IBS and is at the root of the problem. Working with a Naturopath can be very worthwhile to address all aspects of your health and especially gut health. As the Ancient Greek physician, Hippocrates (also known as the Father of Modern Medicine) said: “All disease begins in the gut”.

If you are looking for a holistic approach to your health, look no further! I visited Sheridan today and I was so relieved to finally have found someone who genuinely cares about your health, and who is passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition and the effect it has on not only your physical health, but your mental health as well! Sheridan is so caring, compassionate, and understanding, and always has her clients best interests at heart. I am looking forward to working with Sheridan and Brisbane Livewell Clinic long term to ensure that I am not only healthy, but happy too!!

After a few years struggling with thyroid disease I finally started to few better. Unfortunately the conventional medicine is very limited and don't see your body as a whole but in separate parts not connected. Craig has helped me to find what my body needed to optimize my health, something you won't find with your GP. It might sound costly but living a live of limitations can be way more costlier.

Months after recovering from Glandular Fever, I still felt like I had no energy, was constantly tired, had stomach issues and continually struggled to get out of bed. Dr did not find anything in my blood work after many visits, but I knew I was not well. Eventually I tracked down this clinic and had consultations with Craig Baron. Craig was absolutely amazing and really seeks a holistic approach. He builds a profile of your health issues and spends time getting to understand your mental wellbeing. Craig recommended some remedies and a change in my diet. Since visiting him, I have felt so much better, I have been able to get back to the gym and I finally have energy to do things. Thank you Craig for helping me feel like myself again!

The staff are friendly and welcoming. I have been seeing Fiona on a regular basis and I know when I go I don’t have to say anything to her about any pain or stiffness as she finds my problem spots even the ones I didn’t know I had. Fiona always provides information on how to help get things back in track. I recommend Fiona to anyone who needs a massage to assist with any tightness, pain or injury.

I know I’ll always be grateful that I found Brisbane Livewell Clinic. Craig leaves no stone unturned when it comes to looking at health issues and I’m feeling so much better than I did when I started going. I have more energy, my problematic skin issues have cleared up and my mood is better. I still have work to do but it is great to know that I have a practitioner I can count on who will spend time talking things through, and consider all possibilities. We are all unique and our health issues can be complex, so it’s important to have someone you can trust to help you work things out and get to the causes. My whole family Now attends the clinic. I would highly recommend them if you are serious about feeling your best self.

I booked into the Livewell Clinic in desperation after spending seven months and thousands of dollars seeing GPs and Specialists who couldn't help me. I started having these weird episodes where I would get terrible nausea and dejavu and felt like I was about to have a fit.Heart and brain scans were clear so I was referred to a neurologist. After heaps more tests they told me my symptoms were similar to Epileptic Aura but they couldn't treat me because the scans were clear. They told me to try and de-stress and they would continue to monitor me.When the episodes got worse, a friend recommended I try a naturopath and so I googled and found Craig.He has been amazing at treating my "excitable nervous system". I like how he explains the science behind things and is very knowledgeable. I have been seeing him for less than a month but my episodes have reduced and I feel much better. It's only early days but I have noticed my heart is not racing as much, I'm calmer and have more energy. I have never tried alternate medicine before, or posted a review of a service, but decided to post this because it might help someone else going through a similar thing.

Trudy is wonderful! She shows genuine care and interest in my goals - and is realistic and practical. I feel really comfortable with her which means I can be totally open (about going off the rails with my nutrition!). She also has a great sense of humor and is incredibly knowledgeable. All of the team I’ve had encountered are also lovely. I initially came to the clinic because of the online booking function but Trudy is what keeps me coming back!

I feel that the attention to details surrounding my food issues is being carefully considered before pointing fingers at any particular food. The new larger range food intolerance test I did, the last one was 8 years ago, opened my eyes to how far the research and accuracy of these tests has come along. Looking forward to eating without guessing!

After being dismissed by an Endocrinologist with my rT3 results and telling me it’s a “naturopath thing” - well, it made perfect sense to me to see a naturopath AND I’m glad I did. My partner even commented when I got home because he could see how totally deflated I was when I got home from the appt with the so called specialist over a week ago. He said to me yesterday - well that must of gone well because you have a smile on your face......I’m looking forward to feeling better once my levels get back to normal. Thank you Katarina !
