We are ending the podcast where we began: with the incredible Dr. Allison Siebecker. In this wind-down episode, I wanted to cover some frequently asked questions around relapse, retreatment and prevention. So many people end up in cycles of SIBO that they feel they will never exit from. But there is so much to be hopefully about, even for chronic SIBO cases, and this conversation really shows why.

Not only does Dr. Siebecker help troubleshoot some scenarios of stubborn SIBO, she gives an overview of an entire new toolkit of therapies that have shown incredible clinical results. None of these ideas involve aggressive herbals or antibiotics—in fact, very few require any pills at all.

Even if you feel you know everything there is to know about SIBO, I assure you this episode will open your mind to a whole new world of healing.

A quick taste of what we'll cover:

• How many courses of herbs and antibiotics are too many
• What are the signs that someone is reacting to a treatment itself or die-off
• How long do you wait to retest after treatment? And when is retesting not worth it
• When to start prokinetics and how long to take them for
• A whole arsenal of new therapies: Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Neural retraining systems, Neural therapy, Electrical stimulation, Myofascial release, Craniosacral therapy, Hypnotherapy, Immunoglobulins, Low Dose Immunotherapy, Peptides, Tapping and more!
