When we're talking about small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (aka SIBO), understanding the symptoms is important for effective intervention. The two primary subtypes, methane and hydrogen dominance, present in very obvious and different ways.
Bowel movements serve as a key differentiator. Hydrogen dominance manifests as loose, urgent, or reactive bowel movements, resembling diarrhoea. In contrast, methane dominance paints a picture of constipation, with a sluggish gut as its hallmark. Understanding these differences provides a valuable window into the digestive tract.
Bloating and distention, another important symptom, shows less obvious variations between the two subtypes. Hydrogen-dominant SIBO patients experience rapid bloating quickly after meals. Most methane-dominant individuals, on the other hand, exhibit a more persistent, visible distention that gradually worsens throughout the day.
Transit time, the duration from mouth to toilet bowl, serves as the third crucial difference. Hydrogen dominance tends to accelerate transit, with bowel movements occurring relatively quickly. Methane dominance, conversely, results in slow transit, with severely impacted patients experiencing constipation lasting up to weeks.
Recognising these differences in symptoms aids in navigating the complexities of SIBO treatment. While individual experiences may vary, these fundamental insights provide a starting point for intervention strategies. Seeking professional guidance and considering SIBO breath testing can offer a clearer understanding of one's specific subtype and inform targeted treatment approaches.
I've been struggling with Methane SIBO for 3 years now, tried anti-biotics twice, and SIBO spesific (low carb fodmap-ish) diet but it always relapsed. I feel like we're only sliencing it and not actually removing it. I wish you had services for international patients too! It's really hard to find doctors who know what they are doing when it comes to SIBO. My doctors never asked about how it started, never looked into why i have it... Losing hope slowly, but also not giving up.
Don’t antibiotics make gut/sibo worse??
Not really, it's common practice to use rifaximin, and sometimes neomycin with it for treating SIBO. I had great results, but it relapsed. So, in my experience, it does help with killing the bacteria, but it doesn't solve the main issue WHY you had SIBO in the first place, so it comes back.@@melriini8280
use natural herbs increase stomach acid eliminate your diet
I have Methane over growth
Check for B1 deficiency it could be the main cause
@@ibrahimnasser3545 what is your main symptoms?
fat malabsorption? floaty stools? yellow or pale?
Thank you so much for talking so well about SIBO. In most countries people, including doctors, don't even know what it is. I've been struggling with Methane SIBO for a while and your videos really help!!
Glad it was helpful!

Hi Byron, my 8 yr old daughter is suffering with IMO and SIBO relapse after 14 months of wellness. She is in daily pain, excruciating at times, and psychologically suffering. At that age, I worry about the additional unseen damage/trauma. Do you see pts via video visit? We’re in the U.S. I’ve done so much research and am getting her onto your fundamentals protocol for methane slowly.. I can’t put her on high dose ginger or PHGG but I do have her on Motility Activator by Integrative Therapeutics BID and very low dose PHGG along with her many other supplements including carefully selected probiotics. I am desperate to help my child. It’s breaking me.
Hi. And how do you feel about the treatment of methane sibo with colloidal silver?
I have both! Currently taking rifaximin and neomycin so I hope this kicks it in the butt 🙏
good luck!
How are you now?
@@Barc0d3 really good! I just had a follow up with my ND and just will keep taking prokine and dandelion bitter before eating
How are you now? I’m currently waiting on appointment for sibo breath test
@@yodaog__5536 well I still suffer from bloating so I think I still have it! I have started making this sibo yogurt from Dr William Davis and one week in and feel like this is my answer for the micro biome being the culprit! I also reached out to new naturopath and will go gluten free low carb and take L Glutimine to repair for leaky gut
Hello Byron! I don't live in Australia. I live in Canada. The cost to see s Sibo specialist or Naturopath here is not affordable for me. I believe i have methane sibo as i only seem to have a bowel movement every 3 or 4 days. I had an event after taking prescription antibiotics a few.months after taking them where i got diahreah for about a month and was basically in bed . Was taking a gowt milk probiotic but ut didn't help. Finally got the correct refrigerated probiotic and all the symptoms improved in 3 days. This was quite a long time ago(many years). And ever since that event my bowels functioning have continually gotten worse and to this point. I have tons of sensitivies with foods, skin care products etc. I want to get better. I just don't know where to start when having to do it all on my own. The EOnutrition fellow said in his vlogs that taking B1 mught just fix the problem. But i am sure there has to be more to it. Can you offer any suggestions ir help. I so would appreciate any advice as i feel like i am at such low feelings and its almost unbearable... thank-you...June 😢
Try to use specific strain of probiotics that target your problem. I have methane sibo too and use BioGaia (Lactobacillus Reuteri), Digestive Advantage (Bacillus Coagulans), as well as Bifidobacteria Lactis HN019 for the slow gut transition. I‘m getting almost symptomless with these products. It’s very important to prevent relapse and find the root cause (mine is low stomach acid). I make Lactobacillus Reuteri yogurt out of the BioGaia capsule and consume everyday (A doctor recommended this method to prevent relapse in his book Super Gut)
@@vananhoannguyen1378 thank-you so much for your suggestions!! It's true you have to find the root cause. A little unsure of my root cause. My birth story was not typical of most.
Caesarian section and no vaginal delivery. So right off the bat I didn't get what I needed and too much stress as a child. So many things can add up in our unique stories for sure. That is so good to hear you are pretty well symptom free!! Thanks again for sharing your experiences with me!!🙋
@@junegagnon6506 birth with C section would indeed cause constipation, according to Dr William David. Consider getting his book Super Gut and he talks about how to deal this problem ☺️ I remember he said about babies born with C Section lacks of bacteria strain (Bifidobacteria infantis) which will put them at lots of disadvantages later in life, so supplying with Bifidobacteria infantis may help your problem
4 weeks transit time! I hope she is better.
Thankyou for your informational video, i would like to know if I have sibo and how to fix it
Hello Bryon, I've used allicin, oregano and neem for my first round (35 days) to treat methane sibo and 50% of my symptoms gone. Which herbs should i use for a second round?
Which neem u used
Great info!! Saving for later!
QUESTION: Aside from the bloating, constipation, low motility, etc., have you found that chronic nausea is often a symptom that many Methane SIBO patients experience? That is probably my worst symptom out of all of them, on top of food sitting in my stomach longer than usual.
thanks so much! Yes nausea is a common enough symptom. I would explore delayed stomach emptying with your symptoms. This could be methane driving this too
All over the Internet... best of the best ppl are also talking about only and only either constipation with less bowel movements or diarrhea with urgent or multiple bowel movements in a day. Not a single one is talking about having diarrhea type stool whenever they have bowl movement but still not having urge to pass the stool and having incomplete evacuation as if there is no pressure and this is despite of having stool type 5 or 6 everyday 🤦♀️
That’s a tough symptom for sure!
I have constipation n bad bloating a lot if the time. I feel like I may as well starve at this point 😫
What about SIBO breathtest negative because of no rising of methane and hydrogene, but a preexisting high methane (also in fructose test), heavy bloating after eating and tiny bits of hard stool with every urinating several times a day? IMO? What to do?
Hello ! Tk you so much for this very interesting video ! Now I know now that I m methane dominant Sibo plus bloating and sluggish movements 3/5 days ! I m taking pro biotics but this time it seems like my system is blocked ! I have mcas / histamine/ sals intolerances and many other intolerances which makes it difficult to get a treatment! I also have a leaky gut ( taking L glutamine..) but this time I feel my belly s bloated all the time and do not have real bowel movements! I m thinking of eating tomatoes / high in histamine, to have a bowel movement ! Unfortunately this is going to bring a flare of inflammation 🙄 ! I live in France ! Could you help me ?
For methane dominant SIBO, is the treatment basically 1)pro-kinetics (ginger + artichoke, magnesium citrate) to speed up transit time 2) oregano & allicin to kill overgrowth.
Am I missing anything?
thats a good place to start for many. It can be quite treatment resistant for some so advanced therapies can help
@@ByronHerbalist What kind of advanced therapies can we use for Methane Sibo?
Can i do this breath test on my own? I have proteus overgrowth in si. Constipated chronic. He also put me on DS Bactrim. Are you available for zoom type patients?
Can sibo cause silent reflux (LPR)
I’m waking up bloated and gets worse while the day ends, but I am not constipated? (Go to toilet at least once a day- max one day yes one day not), could be IMO? Please help
Lot of gas too
yes indeed. That could definitely be methane. Breath testing is key for a deeper insight into what the driver is
Any idea how to treat tinea versicolour? Some oil applied topically?
Doctor what about the point in which the small and large intestine are contracted and spasms in the methan SIBO?
Hi Byron! My daughter is struggling with this now. Seeing an alternative practitioner. Has methane and hydrogen SIBO. her disbyosis registered a 10 on a 1-10 scale. Has gone through 2 rounds of antibiotics and now doing low fodmap. Taken herbal support as well and she’s sooo bloated and has stomach pain. Care rarely eat a full meal! Suggestions!? Thanks so much!
Look up carnivore diet. Gas and bloating gone in two days, everybody different tho.
What if I have most of the symptoms but just tested negative on a breath test for hydrogen SIBO. Could it be candida?
Yup. That’s definitely possible!
how to poop faster with methan sibo? i read on reddit that faster MMC dont help with methan SIBO
speeding up the MMC has been incredibly helpful for many of my methane SIBO patients!
curious: why can you only take aus/nz clients?
the timezones and shipping costs are killer and we can't find business insurance for north america. I've been trying to get coverage for years but it isn't available in Australia unfortunately
Is it possible to have both?
Absolutely
