Dr Steven Sandberg Lewis is recognised as a leading practitioner in Naturopathic gastroenterology. He joins Rebecca on The Healthy Gut Podcast to discuss functional gastroenterology and why we need to take a holistic approach to our digestive health. They discuss SIBO, reasons why SIBO treatment might not be working, what to do if you suffer with bloating, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Pro kinetics and laxatives, and much more.

In Episode 63 of The Healthy Gut Podcast, we discuss:

• The functional medicine approach to treating SIBO
• Why we should take a holistic approach to our digestive health
• Whether we should be considering the whole digestive tract when treating SIBO
• What to look at when treatment isn’t working
• Why it’s important to find out whether other conditions are at play
• Bloating after a clear SIBO test, and what else could be causing it
• The difference between peristalsis and the migrating motor complex
• Whether fasting should be part of your SIBO treatment
• Why, and how, you might use prokinetics and laxatives
• The effect that Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome has on the ileocecal valve
• Whether an ‘all clear’ diagnosis for SIBO is the holy grail
