Awesome weather and awesome continuing ed going on today.... SIBO PRO masterclass with Dr. Siebecker, ND is a knockout! If you've seen us, generally we stick to herbal antibiotics or the elemental diet to treat SIBO. However, we wanted to brush up on antibiotic options for patients so we can treat locally vs referring out to other jurisdictions. Saves patients time, money and feeling better faster this way!

If you or a loved one has IBS or related symptoms (i.e. gas, bloating, pain, diarrhea, constipation, etc.), please do consider seeking a healthcare professional who is trained and qulaified to treat SIBO!

Fresh my inbox to you: Best quality of evidence shows strain specific probiotics can be significantly helpful in folks with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). This is another reason why for the past 3 years we've only used a select few probiotic strains to help improve gut health. Here is the paper if intersted:

Although the analysis of probiotic efficacy was limited by the diversity of IBS outcomes used in trials and lack of confirmatory trials for some strains, six single-strain probiotics and three different types of probiotic mixtures showed significant efficacy for at least one IBS outcome measure.
