You may find relief from symptoms but you will never cure yourself this way.<br /><br />I wouldn't force fermented foods into your diet though. Simply introduce them to your tastebuds and then eat as the craving arises.<br /><br />As health improves, digestion will do the same. Improved digestion will improve transit time which decreases SIBO, and the increased immunity from higher health should take care of the rest.

The end goal of treating overgrowths is to<br />--restore the microvillie<br />--restore the gut microbiota<br />--restore normal digestive functions<br /><br />These occur in stages but our ancestral core microbiota help in each one.<br /><br />Here's an example. Rats had 90% of their livers cut out (acute liver failure) which is highly stressful. Overgrowths immediately occur. Same thing as in stressed humans or poor diets or antibiotics.<br /><br />Taking probiotics (L reuteri here in fermented oatmeal) prevent the overgrowths of adverse buggers.<br /><br />Scand J Gastroenterol. 1995 Feb;30(2):180-5.<br />The role of oral administration of oatmeal fermented by Lactobacillus reuteri R2LC on bacterial translocation after acute liver failure induced by subtotal liver resection in the rat.<br /><br />BACKGROUND:<br />Previous experimental studies showed that a disturbed ecology of the enteric bacterial population might contribute to the occurrence of bacterial translocation from the gut in acute liver failure (ALF).<br />METHODS:<br />In the present study the effects of oral administration of exogenous Lactobacillus reuteri R2LC and oat fiber on bacterial overgrowth and translocation and on enterocyte protein contents were investigated in rats with ALF induced by subtotal liver resection. The oatmeal soup base was anaerobically inoculated with L. reuteri R2LC and fermented for 15 h. The animals were then fed with fermented or unfermented oatmeal or saline daily for 6 days before the experimental procedure.<br />RESULTS:<br />The incidence of bacterial translocation to the systemic circulation was nil and 17% in rats subjected to sham operation with saline or 90% hepatectomy with fermented oatmeal, respectively, and 80-90% and 34-50% in rats subjected to hepatectomy with saline or unfermented oatmeal. One rat treated with fermented oatmeal had positive bacterial growth in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), which was significantly lower than in hepatectomized rats with saline or unfermented oatmeal (80-100% and 50-67%). No significant differences was demonstrable between hepatectomized animals with oral administration of fermented or unfermented oatmeal as compared with sham-operated rats. The number of anaerobic bacteria, Gram-negative anaerobes, and Lactobacillus decreased significantly, and the number of Escherichia coli increased in the distal small intestine and colon in hepatectomized animals with saline or unfermented oatmeal, as compared with animals subjected to sham operation or hepatectomy with fermented oatmeal.<br />CONCLUSIONS:<br />The occurrence of bacterial translocation from the gut in 90% hepatectomy-induced ALF could be prevented by fermented oatmeal, which implies possibilities for biologically balancing the enteric bacterial ecology.<br />http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7732342Dr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-51507354915273858932014-08-25T01:44:41.133-07:002014-08-25T01:44:41.133-07:00Hi Grace,

However, I don't think I saw any mention of why these fermented foods are beneficial for SIBO. I thought SIBO can be caused by an overgrowth of either good or bad bacteria, so why does eating food with lots of bacteria help?

Iam curious about your explanation for the question: why do you think the stuff you recommand works? you basically suggest the exact opposite of the things all the other sibo experts suggest (for example Dr. Allison Siebecker or scd lifestyle). they all suggest that the best way to combat sibo is to do scd, avoid all starch and only increase fermented veggies when the sibo is mostly cleared through starving the bacteria or yeast. they suggest hcl and enzymes and low foodmap. you say to take probiotics right from the beginning and suggest potatoe starch, fibre and gluten free grains and legumes, which is a no-go with the scd fraction. so why do you have such a detrimental approach and why do you think it works better? thank you. peterpeternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-31911816036987145972014-01-19T11:42:43.799-08:002014-01-19T11:42:43.799-08:00I was wondering, how big is the difference between...I was wondering, how big is the difference between commercial yoghurt vs homemade yoghurt or commercial kefir vs homemade kefir?

Thank you.<br /><br />If you have any ideas about it, could you talk more about the dental implant that triggered your ill health? How might a Ti implant affect the immune system, and how might that affect the gut? What is happening in a Ti implant situation to affect gut flora? Is it the result of a reaction of oral bone/tissues with the Ti, or is it something else, like the removal of the periodontal ligament that might allow bacteria to enter the implant site from the mouth? Is this a similar situation as seen in a root canaled tooth? Would a ceramic or zirconium implant be equal cause for concern? Are the gut issues in a situation like yours what is causing the fatigue & sleep isues, or are there other factors? Could the gut potentially be healed without the removal of the implant?<br /><br />Thanks again,<br />Stink Flipper, Esq.Stink Flippernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-35432662048931789602013-12-10T16:33:03.616-08:002013-12-10T16:33:03.616-08:00Sarah,

FUN HUH. <br /><br />" I just wanted to make sure I wasn't possibly making things worse by eating fermented foods and drinking kombucha (very sour, low sugar kombucha)." When I was ill and had CFS, all fermented things made me ill. OTOH charcoal and bentonite clay improved this and built up some tolerance. I believe these were easy solutions for me to 'sweep up' some of the nasties growing in the small intestines. <br /><br />Have you met my good buddy Christian?

Unfortunately, I don'...Thanks for the response!<br />Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to work with a functional medicine practitioner right now. The recommendations I mentioned above were just things I've been hearing on podcasts and in blog posts. I will be getting health insurance come Jan. 1, courtesy of the Affordable Care Act and am hoping to find a doctor I can convince to order the GI fx test since it looks like Metametrix takes insurance. From everything I've read though, alternative care practitioners will not be covered by insurance (at least, not in California.) I have been seeing a Naturopath since she offers a sliding scale but it hasn't helped much. I did have a food sensitivity test done and of course it came back listing sensitivities to most of the common food allergens as well as things like lettuce and bananas.<br />So, yes, my gut is definitely pretty screwed up. I actually only had minor gut issues (well, except for the whole gallstones and gallbladder removal thing a couple of years back) until I went Paleo in March. Then I started getting a lot of IBS symptoms like diarrhea, constipation and really painful bloating. The bloating is better now if I avoid sweet potatoes, bananas, avocados and dried fruit but my stomach is definitely not healing. Other things that have gotten worse since going Paleo include, acne, particularly along my jaw, my energy levels are still low, brain fog is worse, and my eye lids are pretty puffy every morning which makes me feel even more tired. On the plus side, I have lost about 45 pounds and seem to have much better insulin sensitivity now. Anyway, these are the things that make me suspicious of some sort of microbial/fungal/yeast overgrowth. There's also some... err... itching that makes me suspicious of parasites.<br />I started doing the potato starch, psyllium husk, ORAC green powder and SBO about two weeks ago. Haven't noticed much difference except for the occasional farts. I'm up to 2 Tbsp/day with the potato starch since I was a bit worried about possible bloating. Seems okay so far. However, if there are bad critters in my gut, I want to address them so that the potato starch will work! I'm going to look into some of the anti microbials and anti-fungals you've mentioned in other posts, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't possibly making things worse by eating fermented foods and drinking kombucha (very sour, low sugar kombucha).<br /><br />One other question I have is about interpreting the 23andme results. I've seen people talking about detox pathways and methylation bases on their 23andme results but I don't understand most of it. Are there any tools or resources you recommend for learning more about that?<br /><br />Sorry for the long essay. I'm pretty frustrated at this point. <br /><br />Sarah<br /><br />Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-38270792425409506622013-12-09T14:06:32.617-08:002013-12-09T14:06:32.617-08:00Sarah,

Normally our immunity can handle it but when our gut microbiota are messed up (which = 80-90% of our immunity) then we cannot handle event the tiniest of mold because we are producing and making the mold internally.<br /><br />So, no. I no longer agree and think it is totally unsustainable.<br /><br />We are all toxic. Also we are all different in our susceptibilities to toxins.<br />http://drbganimalpharm.blogspot.jp/2013/04/babies-and-mapping-pollution-in-people.html<br /><br />I suspect if you have fungal overgrowth, you have either toxins or a bad gut or both. Work with your functional med practitioner to figure this out.<br /><br />The 7 steps takes care of a bad gut but if there are deeper problems -- mercury, pthlalates, PCBs, BPA -- working with a professional will alleviate these burdens faster so that the gut and immunity can heal faster and take care of the fungal overgrowths.<br /><br />What probiotics have you tried? Any work?<br /><br />For me, nothing worked for sibo/sifo until I had both the titanium and mercury removed. For others, it's far easier.

How long does it take to get progesterone out of the body? I cut the dose the last few days and felt better yesterday then today I can barely eat again I'm so bloated and having hot flashes again. <br /><br />Is it best to taper slowly, or can I can drop the dose every few days until the symptoms go away? I have had about all I can take with this stuff. It has been one thing after the other for the last three and a half years. <br /><br />Can you help me with the dosing? I am at 225 mg. The reason they brought it up was to help with the withdrawal symptoms of the diazepam I am slowly coming off of. I have not had any overdose symptoms until I came off the estrogen, I'm guessing I may not need as much progesterone since I am no longer taking estrogen. I went off the estrogen due to a fibroid doubling in size from a estrogen pellet. Would never recommend those to anyone. I almost bleed to death last year coming off that pellet. I am in menopause so my estrogen was low until the testosterone converted. I am waiting for my new labs to come in this week.<br /><br />HELP!!!!<br /><br />MerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-46475814211812407262013-12-04T17:42:33.416-08:002013-12-04T17:42:33.416-08:00Merry~!

I hope those books that I recommended you consider provide some insight for you.<br /><br />When I used to work in BioHRT pharmacy, we often would see people getting overdosed on P cream. It's unfortunate. These have to be monitored and titrated based on symptoms like yours, labs and other metrics because hormones are so strong even the bioHRT ones. They are endocrine optimizers or disruptors depending on context and dose, no?<br /><br />gDr. B Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15451872961651116061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-2364298124240832672013-12-01T20:45:31.196-08:002013-12-01T20:45:31.196-08:00Anyway, I was the one you said had endocrine disru...Anyway, I was the one you said had endocrine disruption from the testosterone overdose. I realized that on top of the virus I had contracted that my progesterone levels had gone way up. I cut back on the progesterone and the bloating and gas has pretty much gone away. What I had asked was if the protocol you recommend here would help my hormone balance as well? I know you said you were messed up by some hormone you were given. I have been doing the potato starch, psyllium and amazing grass. I ordered the Prescript Assist and should have it this week. I have sauerkraut, but was waiting for my stomach to settle down to add that. Tolerating goat yogurt fine. Just trying to gain weight right now, but eating much better and feeling better already today. I think we are getting closer to getting my hormone system back in balance.<br /><br />MerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-47985313364586295702013-12-01T20:39:09.052-08:002013-12-01T20:39:09.052-08:00I check all the other blogs and couldn't find ...I check all the other blogs and couldn't find the original posts I sent you.<br /><br />MerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6780103924890350442.post-27651181474950647222013-12-01T19:54:44.145-08:002013-12-01T19:54:44.145-08:00Anon,
Histamine can be released from the stomach ...Anon,<br /><br />Histamine can be released from the stomach (gastric H2 receptors) and this typically indicates food intolerances and food allergens and SIBO. Consider the value of RS + SBO probiotics and the merit of slowly adding fermented foods as the colonies recede from the small intestines and pathogens are crowded/eradicated out.<br /><br /><br />Anon,<br /><br />Most can be done by children. Autistic, ADHD, spectrum and children with gut issues do these and similar GAPS protocols.<br /><br /><br />Anon,<br /><br />perhaps you posted on a diff post?
