Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) occurs when bacteria proliferate in the small intestine—an area that normally contains only minimal bacterial levels. When this balance shifts, the excess bacteria can disrupt digestion, impair nutrient absorption, affect gut motility, and compromise the integrity of the intestinal lining. Because its symptoms often mirror those of IBS, SIBO is frequently misdiagnosed, yet it has distinct root causes that require targeted treatment.
Rather than being a standalone condition, SIBO is usually a sign that something deeper is disrupting the digestive system and allowing bacteria to flourish. Slowed motility, low stomach acid, structural issues, chronic stress, or prior infections can all create conditions that promote bacterial overgrowth. While reducing the excess bacteria is essential, long-term resolution comes from identifying and correcting the underlying imbalance that allowed SIBO to develop in the first place.
Identifying these factors is essential so the overgrowth doesn’t return after treatment.
Additional tests—such as stool analysis or bloodwork—may be recommended to assess inflammation, enzyme function, microbiome health, and nutrient absorption.
Treatment is personalized based on your symptoms, gas type, and underlying digestive factors.
Reduce the Bacterial Overgrowth
We use targeted herbs or supplements to reduce the excess bacteria in the small intestine. The approach is selected based on your symptoms, test results and personal health history.
Support Digestion & Motility
Because SIBO often develops when stomach acid, enzymes, or motility are impaired, we support these foundational processes. This may include digestive enzymes, bile support, or prokinetic therapy to keep the small intestine moving properly.
Rebuild and Strengthen the Gut Lining
SIBO can irritate the gut lining and affect nutrient absorption. We use targeted nutrients to repair inflammation, support the intestinal barrier, and restore optimal digestive function.
Address Root Causes to Prevent Recurrence
We work to correct the underlying contributors—such as low stomach acid, hormone imbalances, constipation, or stress-related motility issues—so that SIBO does not return after treatment.
Restore Microbiome Balance
Once the overgrowth is cleared, we strategically provide gut support to rebuild a healthy, diverse microbiome and maintain long-term digestive stability.
If bloating, digestive discomfort, or food reactions are impacting your daily life, we’re here to help. Our functional, root-cause approach identifies why SIBO developed so we can restore proper digestion—not just manage symptoms temporarily.
