If you've been suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and have yet to find relief—you may be looking in the wrong place. Following the general recommendations for optimal gut health may lead you to probiotics, but those can be a problem if you're actually dealing with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). It's estimated that up to 80% of people with IBS have SIBO. Healing SIBO author, TV host, and founder of the SIBO SOS Summits, Shiva Sarna, joins JJ for a primer on this common digestive disorder. In this conversation, you'll learn all about its symptoms (some of which you may not realize are connected, like rosacea and restless leg syndrome), how people end up with SIBO, and the tests you can take to get a diagnosis. They also discuss dietary changes you can make to help with SIBO, including how you can rebuild your microbiome and the herbal protocol you can follow to promote a healthy gut. Shiva shares her story of how she healed from a lifetime of health issues that started at 5 years old with food poisoning. It's a message of hope, how you can avoid the tragedy of an unmanaged chronic condition and start to finally feel better. As a bonus for listeners, Shiva offers her SIBO IBS SOS Guide designed for you to take straight to your doctor's office to help you accelerate the healing process. Is Your IBS Really SIBO?
