Very interesting. Since birth, I've always had bowel problems. Any type of sugar is a nightmare, Severe cramps, gas, etc. (banana's are the worst)I also had severe constipation to the point of impactation constantly. Of course, now that I have an emergency ileostomy, that issue is gone. I've never had a medical professional able to explain to me what was wrong. I've assumed I was missing some "gut bacteria". Thanks for this video.
Thank you for this comment, Elaine. I think I am in a very similar situation as you were before the ileostomy, and my doc has agreed to do an ileostomy--I'm super excited about that. Question: are your symptoms all gone?
I’m so glad you tackled this subject! We all need to be more aware of our gut health, with or w/an ostomy. Who knew gut bacteria help protect against ulcers 😲 You have a great way for presenting this complex information! Keep youor camera rolling👍💜💩👍💜💩
Thank you so much! I'm really glad that you enjoyed the video. I only recently discovered just how much bacteria affect the mucousal lining of the bowel since getting my ulcer. It's a fascinating topic that bears a lot of relevance for ostomates and, really, all humans. Gut bacteria are just too important to ignore!
Hi there, Peta! That's a great question, although I'm not entirely sure. What I can say is that smelly gas is usually a product of either diet, gut microbiome imbalance, or even some medications. If your diet is relatively clear of gas-producing foods (like cruciferous veggies, eggs, fish, onions, garlic, ect), then it might be your gut's bacteria acting up. While I don't want to give any medical advice because I'm definitely not an expert, I would say that trying some probiotics might help in the long run. Your gastroenterology specialist might be able to recommend some great probiotics that would work for your particular case. Anther tip I've learned along the way is that using GasX or Phazyme can help reduce gas overall, making it less of a problem. I hope you get relief soon!
Hi Marta! That is a great question. Unfortunately, SIBO is more common in people with a history of abdominal surgery--which of course includes all ostomates. There are a few complex anatomical reasons for this, but basically whenever the bowel is cut and adhesions form post-surgically, the compartmentalization of the gut is permanently changed and can lend to microbiome imbalance. So in short, yes! Colostomates and ileostomates, as well as people with diseases like Crohns, celiac, UC, and bowel cancer, are thought to be at a greater risk of developing SIBO.

Wonderful info. Thank you👍

"Colon carrying counterparts" a nice little bit of alliteration!😄
Thank you for addressing theses issues. Is Sibo prevalent in ostomates, especially with ileostomies?
