What is SIBO? 

Digestive health is a cornerstone of overall well-being, and as a Naturopath specializing in SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome), my focus is on restoring balance to the gastrointestinal system.

In the intricate tapestry of digestion, the gut plays a central role in nutrient absorption, immune function, and even mood regulation. SIBO and IBS, however, represent disruptions in this delicate balance.

SIBO occurs when there's an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine, leading to symptoms like bloating, abdominal pain, and altered bowel habits. As a specialist, I employ holistic approaches to rebalance the gut microbiome, addressing the root causes and restoring harmony to support optimal digestion.

IBS, on the other hand, manifests as a functional disorder of the digestive system, often characterized by abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements, and bloating. Through personalized naturopathic strategies, I work to identify triggers, alleviate symptoms, and empower individuals with sustainable lifestyle changes that promote gut health.

My approach integrates natural therapies, dietary modifications, and lifestyle interventions tailored to each individual's unique needs. By addressing the underlying factors contributing to SIBO and IBS, I aim to guide my clients towards a path of digestive wellness, fostering not only physical health but also emotional and mental well-being. Together, we embark on a journey to restore digestive balance and enhance overall vitality, allowing individuals to reclaim control over their digestive health and embrace a life of holistic wellness.

The symptoms of SIBO are very similar to those of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome.)

Unfortunately, SIBO sufferers experience many uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing symptoms like:

  • Sore tummy
  • Diarrhoea and/or constipation or a combination of both
  • Bloating
  • Uncomfortable fullness after eating
  • Loss of appetite
  • Indigestion
  • Passing a lot of gas
  • Excessive burping
  • Fatigue and weakness

SIBO also can be the cause for other conditions like:

  • Diverticulitis
  • Irritable Bowel Disease
  • Leaky Gut
  • Gastritis
  • Food intolerances/sensitivities
  • Candida or thrush
  • Hypothyroidism
  • Asthma
  • Type II Diabetes
  • Interstitial Cystitis
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Restless Legs Syndrome
  • Acne Rosacea
  • Scleroderma 

Great news - SIBO conditions are one of my favourite parts of Naturopathy!

I have firsthand experience, as I know what it’s like to suffer from SIBO and digestive issues and also how wonderful life can be post SIBO. This digestive issue led me to become a SIBO Doctor approved Naturopath.

I love the challenge of supporting and working with my client’s to rebalance their gut microbiome and to be SIBO free.

Please note - we order your SIBO Breath Test during your initial consultation and once I have your results we commence your treatment. This ensures that the correct treatment plan is designed for YOU!
