Gitanjali Goel joins Mary to talk about SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.  It is something that a lot of people experience at some time in their life.  The symptoms are varied but include constipation or diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, and flatus. For some, the symptoms are very distressing and really affect everyday life.  For others the symptoms can be manageable for many years and then something triggers a worsening of symptoms and suddenly, it is affecting many aspects of their day.

Gitanjali explains how homeopathy helps rebalance the body even if the original cause of the health disturbance happened many years previously. Both acute and more long term remedies can really help your body get back in check.

• Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
• Abdominal bloating – A feeling of fullness or swelling in the stomach area.
• Excessive gas – Frequent flatulence or belching.
• Diarrhea – Loose or watery stools.
• Constipation – Difficulty in passing stools, sometimes alternating with diarrhea.
• Abdominal pain or discomfort – Cramping or general discomfort in the abdomen.
• Nausea – Feeling of wanting to vomit.
• Fatigue – Unexplained tiredness or lack of energy.
• Unintentional weight loss – Losing weight without trying, due to malabsorption of nutrients.
• Nutritional deficiencies – Symptoms related to deficiencies, such as iron or vitamin B12 deficiency, due to malabsorption.
• Bad breath (halitosis) – Caused by fermentation of food by bacteria.
• Food intolerances – Difficulty digesting certain foods, especially those high in fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs).
• Brain fog – Difficulty concentrating or feeling mentally sluggish.
• Skin issues – Such as acne, rosacea, or other inflammatory skin conditions.
