🌱Is your , gas, and diarrhea more than just IBS?⁠

It might be SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). Many people struggle with symptoms like Kathy, who thought she had IBS but discovered was the true culprit. Here's her journey from feeling trapped by gut issues to living freely again!

🔹SIBO vs IBS
SIBO bloating happens in the small intestine, while IBS bloating typically affects the colon. If you’ve been struggling with bloating, gas, and diarrhea, it’s crucial to know the difference!⁠

🔹The Treatment for SIBO
SIBO requires antibiotics, like Xifaxan, to target bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. But it’s not just about the antibiotics—diet and lifestyle play a big role too.⁠

🔹Diet for SIBO
Managing SIBO means following a to manage symptoms and a low fermentation diet to ease discomfort during treatment. But that’s not all—it’s important to address the root causes to prevent SIBO from coming back.⁠

🔹Risk Factors for SIBO
Conditions like slower gut motility, acid-suppressing medications, and extensive antibiotic exposure can increase your risk. Knowing your risk factors helps guide treatment.⁠

🧐 Not sure what tests to get for and where to save $$? Here are the tests you SHOULD get vs the tests NOT to get ⬇️⬇️

I know it can feel SUPER frustrating to go to the doctor, get a bunch of tests done, and find they all come back normal 😩

But this is actually a GOOD thing as it means diet & lifestyle changes can make a BIG difference in your symptoms and how you feel 🙌

✅ That’s why I recommend you work with your doctor and get some tests done to rule out any other underlying cause BEFORE working with an IBS dietitian ✅

Before your doctor's appointment, document your symptoms accurately so that your doctor knows what tests to order for you. Here are some to document:
• (where, when, frequency, duration, etc)
• Pain (where, when, frequency, duration, etc)
• Reflux (when, frequency, duration, etc)
• BM (soooo important! Frequency, type, quantity, etc)

Not sure where to start? Checkout IBS Freedom to help you!

Which tests do I recommend?

Your doctor will likely run tests to run out:
• Celiac’s Disease,
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease,
• checking your thyroid levels,
• H Pylori if you have Upper GI Symptoms

Your doctor will help you decide if you need…
• scopes ( or endoscopy)
• stool tests
• Breath tests

These are GOOD tests to get done ✅

These tests rule out other life-threatening conditions to make sure your symptoms are IBS-related.

Then, if these tests come back normal, look towards diet and lifestyle for symptom relief. You probably do NOT need more tests, such as
❌ stool microbiome test
❌ Food Sensitivity Test
❌ Hair Mineral test

These tests are NOT reliable markers and are often scams! ❌

Seen multiple providers or dietitians and feeling discouraged? 😫

It is common to feel like you are back at square one even after following standard dietary advice. Many of my clients come to me after spending significant resources on alternative tests that promised answers but only delivered more confusion.

For years, Eileen’s life was ruled by her gut function. As a teacher, she faced daily stress over unpredictable symptoms and severe that traditional interventions failed to resolve. Despite seeing multiple and trying expensive, unvalidated testing like LEAP, nothing provided a lasting baseline.

Her turning point came when we stopped guessing and transitioned to a data-driven approach. By analyzing her food intake, specific symptoms, and visual bowel patterns during a structured reintroduction, we identified her true trigger in just a few sessions.

💬In Eileen's own words:
"Jessie is actually the third dietitian I've worked with to try to manage my . What really made Jessie stand out is her wealth of experience. She's seen many different clients so she was able to quickly identify what my main triggers were.

She was also the first that asked to see pictures of my BMs in addition to a detailed food log. Jessie was then able to help me understand how my body was reacting to different foods. Within a few sessions, she suspected that I had a problem with a particular food.

She was extremely understanding of how difficult it is to adopt a change in lifestyle, particularly since as an Asian American, many of my favorite cultural foods have my trigger in them. She was sensitive, sympathetic, and supportive.

Many of my worst symptoms have improved significantly. The painful stomachaches that would keep me up at night, the uncomfortable bloating and gas have all resolved."- Eileen

If you feel like you have tried everything, please know that you simply might need a more specialized GI approach.

⁠
My client Erika was living with constant lower abdominal pain, unpredictable bathroom habits, and a love/hate relationship with food.⁠
She had tried:⁠
▪️ and pricey 30-day detoxes⁠
▪️ Living off protein shakes and a tiny list of “safe” foods⁠
▪️ MLM and working out harder than ever⁠
⁠
And yet—nothing stopped the flare-ups that would leave her incapacitated for up to 48 hours. She planned every outing around bathroom access and dreaded special occasions, knowing a flare could strike at any moment.⁠
⁠
When we began working together, everything shifted.⁠
We stopped guessing and got clear on the root causes of her symptoms.⁠
We created a flexible, supportive plan tailored to her gut—and her life.⁠
⁠
Today, Erika has a plan to manage potential flares.⁠
⁠
She’s no longer afraid of food.⁠
⁠
She’s tuned into the gut-brain axis, understands her and hormonal triggers, and finally feels like herself again.⁠
⁠
Here’s what she shared:⁠
🗣 “The group and Jessie have changed my life for the better. I highly encourage those dealing with and SIBO to work with a specialized in these conditions. I'm glad I took a chance with Jessie! Best investment of the year!!!”⁠

Summer is just around the corner, and IBS doesn’t have to hold you back from enjoying the things you love.

Kinzie spent years struggling with —constantly fearing food, avoiding travel, and missing out on activities she enjoyed. After trying many treatments, including a , she still didn’t find lasting relief.

That’s when she found us. 🙌

Here’s how we helped her regain control:

• We identified the root causes of her (constipation-related )
• We didn’t do the low FODMAP diet because it wasn’t necessary for her—Instead, we focused on a personalized approach that fit her needs.
• Now, she’s symptom-free, travels without fear, and enjoys food without worry.

Kinzie’s transformation:
“I now drive an hour to work every day and have no fear of having to stop on my way to go to the bathroom.
Jessie gave me my life back… I can enjoy the thing I love the most as a dietitian again, FOOD!”

You don’t have to live with IBS forever. Start feeling better before your summer vacations kick off 🌞
