Did you know that many people diagnosed with IBS actually have SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)?
SIBO is unfortunately a rather under-diagnosed condition impacting your gut that often leads people to struggle for very long periods (sometimes several years!) without a clear answer of what’s going on beyond just being told “you have IBS.”
My friend and SIBO expert Dr. Ken Brown joins me today! He’s a board-certified gastroenterologist and has been in practice for over 15 years with a clinical focus on inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
We discuss:
- Why IBS is a total junk diagnosis (and what you more likely have)
- Fascinating research on small intestine bacterial overgrowth
- How SIBO is an inflammation trigger
- Unpacking methane production in SIBO
- How food poisoning triggers gut (and skin) SIBO symptoms
- Antibodies that worsen gut + skin SIBO symptoms

It's either IBS-C OR IBS-D depending on which is more predominant. Bloating is a typical characteristic of both. It is a diagnosis of exclusion in a way. That doesn't mean it's a useless term. I think as we learn more about gut /brain interconnectedness the criteria will become a bit better.
