TESTING:

• Bacterial Overgrowth of the Small Intestine Breath Test (BOSI) by Genova Diagnostics

• GI Effects® Comprehensive Stool Profile by Genova Diagnostics

o The GI Effects® Comprehensive Stool Profile is an advanced stool test that provides immediate, actionable clinical information for the management of gut health. Using the most innovative technologies available, this ground-breaking stool test offers:

▪ PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction), a molecular assay optimized for stool testing, assesses 24 commensal bacteria associated in the scientific literature with health and disease, and provides valuable insight into the human microbiome

▪ O&P (ova & parasite), the gold standard for parasite identification

DIET:

• SIBO Specific Diet

o This diet is a result of the work of Dr Allison Siebecker. It is her version of a combination of The Specific Carbohydrate Diet and The Low Fodmap Diet.  I have found her combination of these two diets to work very well for SIBO as well as other GI issues including: IBS, UC, Crohn’s, etc. It combines the best of both diets, reducing a broader range of fermentable carbohydrates than any other SIBO diet

ANTIMICROBIALS, PROBIOTICS, & DIGESTIVE ENZYMES

• The use of natural medicine based antimicrobials, probiotics, and digestive enzymes can be an EXTREMELY important part of treating almost EVERY gastrointestinal related conditions and are especially important in SIBO. They should be used, however, under the direction of a doctor trained in naturopathic/functional medicine because the dosage and timing of these products are critical in using them effectively.
