Shivan Sarna founded Chronic Condition Rescue, is a yoga instructor, and even a TV host! She joins Debbie today to discuss Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and an upcoming SIBO summit. Shiva was diagnosed with SIBO after meeting a new doctor, who found that an initial test result incorrectly said she did not have the disorder. SIBO is commonly misdiagnosed because its symptoms can be mistaken as other issues. To help others, Shivan decided to hold the SIBO SOS summit, conducting dozens of interviews. SIBO SOS Part 2 is happening October 21-29, 2017. Join the free online summit at https://sibosos.com/.
