How SIBO Testing Works with Us
SIBO occurs when bacteria that normally reside in the large intestine overgrow in the small intestine, disrupting digestion and causing inflammation. We take a detailed history and use breath testing to determine the type of SIBO—hydrogen, methane, or hydrogen sulfide—so we can tailor your treatment accordingly.
Your personalized plan may include:
- Herbal or prescription antimicrobials
- Prokinetic support to improve motility and prevent recurrence
- Digestive support
- Nervous system and stress regulation to support gut-brain balance
We also assess related concerns such as thyroid dysfunction, food sensitivities, and nutrient deficiencies to ensure complete recovery. Our goal is to help you heal your gut, restore comfort, and improve your overall well-being.
