SIBO is one of the most common causes of chronic bloating we find when we do gut testing with patients 🦠

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth.

Bacteria overgrow in the small intestines where they aren’t supposed to be and ferment the food you eat causing gas production (aka bloating) 💨

If you think you might have SIBO, it’s really important to get tested for it…

1. So we know if you have it or not (or if there is another cause for your gut issues we need to find).

2. So we know which type of SIBO it is (there are different types of SIBO that are tested, and they require different treatments.

🌿How do you test for SIBO?

With a SIBO breath test through a naturopath like us.

The SIBO test and the gut microbiome test is included in our Complete Gut Testing Package (our most popular package to work with us!) 🌿

With these two tests, we will finally have answers to what is causing your chronic gut issues.

Your gut plays a huge role in hormone balance.

If you think you have high oestrogen, or you have endometriosis, check your gut microbiome and make sure it’s not part of the oestrogen problem.

If you’d like to work with us to do the gut microbiome testing, see what those beta-glucuronidase levels are like, do hormone testing if we need to and fix the gut microbiome + liver detoxification…

We are here to support you 💚🌿

One of the Naturopaths in our clinic, Lori, has a special focus in women’s health, hormones, endometriosis alongside our special focus in gut issues.

The most common cause of bloating & gut issues is none of these things…

As a gut naturopath who has worked with hundreds of complex gut cases, let’s bust some myths 🤯

The number #1 cause of bloating I see in my patients with gut issues is…

Bad bacteria overgrowing in the gut + issues with basic digestive function and motility.

The bacteria ferment the fibres of the foods you eat, creating gases that cause gut symptoms.

They also inflame & damage gut tissue.

If you’re getting bloating, reflux, gas, constipation, irregular bowel movements etc…

You could have a bacterial overgrowth 🦠

BUT - what’s causing the bacterial overgrowth? That could be:

- Low stomach acid levels
- A sluggish liver not producing enough bile
- High stress/cortisol shutting off digestionyh4
- Nervous system (gut-brain axis) dysregulation
- Immune system dysregulation
- Motility issues
- Low levels of good bacteria & diversity

The whole gut environment is usually in chaos - and it’s our job to figure out what’s not working and fix it.

You need to get to the REAL cause of the bloating. Testing & a thoroughly assessment by a qualified practitioner can help 🤌

This is what we do with patients in our 1:1 Happy Gut Program.

We get to the underlying cause of gut issues through a deep health assessment and testing. With a personalised holistic protocol made just for you.

Our clinic manager Mercedes and I had a fun weekend down in Sydney for the .vital.ly conference on multidisciplinary holistic healthcare 💜

We stayed by the beach, ate lots of yummy food and did the most beautiful coastal walks (and got our steps in!) 🌞

And then spent Saturday learning all things integrative care and enhancing the way we support our patients 🫶🏻🌿

You feel like all food causes you bloating and gut symptoms - especially fruit, vegetables and fibre….

And you’re stuck on a low FODMAPs diet of 5 safe foods…

And feel like no matter what you eat you can’t win.

But you KNOW fibre, diversity and all the fruits & veg are great for your gut.

That’s okay.

That’s where most of our patients start.

There is something going on in your gut causing those reactions to foods.

It’s not the foods fault, it your gut environment.

We do thorough testing + evaluation of your gut to find the cause of your gut issues and fix that so the foods stop triggering you.

And as we fix the underlying causes, over time work to build up your diet diversity and tolerance of fibre 🍏

This is exactly what we do with patients in our 1:1 Happy Gut Program.

The first step to fixing your chronic gut issues is removing these foods 🍔🌭🍟🍕🥨

Without doing this, fixing your gut bacteria balance will be like trying to push a boulder up a hill - your fighting against constant gut stress and damage.

All of these unhealthy ingredients will:

- Reduce bacterial diversity
- Reduce butyrate production (protective metabolite made by helpful bacteria)
- Increase unhelpful inflammatory bacteria species
- Increase gut permeability
- Increase endotoxin levels (big gut inflammation)
- Irritate the gut lining and immune system
- Alter immune signalling

… all leading to dysbiosis 🥴

Once you’ve removed these foods, the second step is cleaning up your diet:

- Removing ultra processed foods
- Removing deep fried foods
- Removing takeaway
- Bringing in lots more plant foods, fruits and diversity to feed the good guys.

Most patients come to us already eating a pretty good diet and have already removed these unhelpful ingredients…

And they STILL have chronic gut issues with daily bloating, uncomfortableness, distention, constipation and reflux.

If you’ve done these foundations and still have symptoms, the next step is deeper gut testing and working with a practitioner who can find the root cause of what has gone wrong in your digestive system and microbiome, then work with you in a personalised treatment plan to fix it and bring it back to normal.

This is exactly what we do with patients in our 1:1 Happy Gut Program.

If you’ve been told you “just have IBS”, here’s how to find REAL answers…

You’ve been told you have IBS because they can’t find anything else wrong with your gut 😫

You’re told to go on FODMAPs and take either Imodium or movicol as needed.

And if you have a really good GP, may been given gut-directed hypnotherapy.

It’s made it slightly more manageable, but you still live the daily anxiety of having no idea what your gut is going to be like today 🥲

It’s NEVER “just” IBS.

IBS is not the final answer.

There are real root causes for IBS.

That we can fix.

And get you living a normal life again.

Most often the root cause of IBS is:

1️⃣ Damage to the nerves changing motility (most often from a food poisoning event) and causing hypersensitivity (you FEEL gut symptoms much more extremely than the average person)

2️⃣ Gut bacterial overgrowth and dysbiosis

3️⃣ Dysfunctional gut-brain communication (vagal nerve dysregulation)

You also very often find:

- A dysfunctional gut immune system (low secretory IgA)
- Low stomach acid
- Poor liver function
- Low levels of good bacteria
- Poor vagal nerve function

And very often, there is SIBO going on too causing lots of bloating, distention and uncomfortableness.

These are the REAL answers behind what’s causing IBS.

And the way we treat your IBS is TESTING to find out exactly what’s going on in your gut 🔬

Knowing the real answers means we can create a REAL action plan to fix them.

This is what we do with patients in our 1:1 Happy Gut Program.

bloating

1️⃣ You get bloating pretty quickly after meals (30 mins to 1.5 hours after) ⏰

If your bloating is set off after you eat, it could be SIBO.

2️⃣ Your bloating generally builds up over the day 📈

Sometimes with SIBO it will increase for a window of time after eating, then go back down until you eat next time.

But most commonly you start your day with a flat gut, and by the of the day are so bloated and distended you feel 6 months pregnant…

3️⃣ You feel 6 months pregnant bloated by the time you go to bed 🤰

Look like you’re 6 months pregnant and feel like you’re being blown up like a balloon from the inside? Yep, that could be SIBO.

4️⃣ Everything you eat feels like it bloats you 🥗

Sometimes even water 😭

And it doesn’t feel like there’s any pattern of “trigger foods”.

🌿What is SIBO?

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

Feel like you’re doing all the right things & still having gut issues?🙃

You feel like you eat pretty well.

You try to exercise.

You try to manage your stress.

Your taking supplements.

And yet… your gut still feels like it’s a hot mess 😔

Sometimes… it’s actually all of these little habits that are sabotaging your gut health 👀

Most of the patients I work with come to me so frustrated because they feel like they’re doing all the rights things.

But it’s these kinds of habits that are setting them up to fail (plus, there’s usually some deeper underlying causes like bacteria overgrowing that haven’t addressed).

If this sounds like you, getting these bad gut habits sorted is the first place to start!

💕🌈✨

Happy healing,
Love Shae xx
