Today we are delving into the enigmatic world of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). SIBO is a condition where there is an excess of harmful bacteria in the small intestine. Our expert sheds light on the physiology behind SIBO and unravels the mystery of what causes it. Discover how the breakdown of the digestive process, starting with the stomach's failure to properly sterilize food, can set off a chain reaction that ultimately leads to SIBO. Understand the critical roles of stomach acids, gallbladder, and pancreas, and how their dysfunction leads to leaky gut, inflammation, and food sensitivities, which further contribute to SIBO.

You might be surprised to learn that chronic stress is identified as the primary culprit behind SIBO. It triggers the fight-or-flight response, affecting the digestive system. Stress and hypothyroidism, especially as seen in Hashimoto's disease, are key players in slowing down the digestive system, creating an environment conducive to bacterial overgrowth. Moreover, SIBO itself can perpetuate a vicious cycle by affecting other parts of the digestive system.

Tune in to grasp the nuances of treating SIBO, the importance of addressing underlying causes such as stress, and how solely depending on diets and supplements might not be enough. It's time to explore the brain-gut connection and take control of your digestive health!
