Main Questions Asked about SIBO and the Elemental Diet:

  • What are the lab markers that indicate someone may have SIBO?
  • What are the treatment options for SIBO?

    • Key Points Made by Dr. Schuler about SIBO and the Elemental Diet:
    • The large intestine is where fermentation happens, the small intestine is where absorption happens.
    • SIBO is where certain foods will cause massive bloating in the small intestine and may be the major factor in Irritable Bowel Syndrome. SIBO is Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth.
    • The conventional treatment of IBS has been terrible.
    • Highly processed foods, antibiotic feed meat, and antibiotics in general can contribute and cause SIBO.
    • Heartburn can be an indicator of SIBO.
    • There are a variety of tests you can use to find SIBO including blood tests, stool tests, and other malabsorption tests.
    • Measuring certain gases like methane and hydrogen after drinking glucose or lactulose quickly is another test.
    • Getting tested and knowing for sure your body can’t process a particular type of food can be the motivation you need to make a change.
    • Fructose tests can be useful but are often neglected because fructose won’t be lethal immediately.
    • Patients who suffer from headaches, about 60% are positive for SIBO. The pain medication taken to treat the headache could be contributing to SIBO.
    • Diet is the most reliable and effective way to treat SIBO but takes the longest time to take effect.
    • Proteins can be difficult to process if you have SIBO, eliminating carbohydrates to reduce the bacterial growth is part of The Elemental Diet.
    • The Elemental Diet is not very palatable but it is effective.
