I joined Rebecca Coomes on her podcast, The Healthy Gut “Be your own health detective with SIBO Guru, Angela Pifer”
SIBO can be a debilitating condition for many people so it is important to become your own private investigator to really understand what went wrong in your body to allow SIBO to occur. In today’s episode, Rebecca talks to functional medical nutritionist aka SIBO Guru, Angela Pifer, about the importance of really listening to your body. Treating SIBO is a marathon; not a sprint.

✓ 25-45 million Americans are estimated to experience IBS, with 1 in 5 Australians estimated to have it
✓ Why Angela is passionate about being mindful when using antibiotics and eating a restricted diet
✓ The emotional impact treating SIBO can have on a person and Angela’s suggestions on how to break the vicious cycle
✓ Why stepping away from the SIBO chat rooms and research obsession, and going outside for a walk or spending time with friends can have a positive impact on your health
✓ The importance of sticking with a treatment protocol for a period of time
✓ Why it’s ok to get a second opinion
✓ How you can learn to find your IC valve and some symptoms you may experience if it is not working properly

Hi Philip, methane producers are archaea and these are not bacteria. To heal from SIBO, you need to work with a practitioner to help figure out what set this up, what is affecting motility and then treat properly. Treatment may include those herbs, but there are specific dosing, timing, and adjunct support that needs to be used together, to treat this properly (while addressing the underlying issues - so you can keep the momentum going).

Hi!
You mentioned somewhere here on the website that if you are methane dominant that it is not a bacteria overgrowth, correct? How would you then approach it? I use Allimed, oregano and berberine but it is not really helping. Im super anxious which i know would not help me heal but when i cant see the light at the tunnel then its pretty understandable that i feel this way. Thank you!
