1 - Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth SIBO
Here are the most common symptoms of the various SIBO types many of which overlap with those of IBS:
2 Intestinal Hyperpermeability Leaky Gut
When you have a "leaky gut" it's like the doors are open between your intestines from your bloodstream. Macro-molecules of food toxins and pathogens that normally aren't allowed through now flow freely into your bloodstream making your immune system wake up and start fighting. This is called an inflammatory immune response and causes all sorts of GI symptoms. And inflammation goes hand in hand with the worst hormone imbalances symptoms and stubborn weight
3 Dysbiosis of the Gut Microbiome
Often the result of antibiotics a dysbiosis is difficult to detect using standard testing. After all there is often nothing to find but actually THERE'S A HUGE PROBLEM. It is a lack of diversity and numbers of beneficial bacteria that leads to the gradual onset of IBS-type symptoms and for sure stubborn and unexplained weight gain. Regular stool tests at the doctors office can tell if there are no particularly bad bugs hanging out down there.
4 - Gut infections
While this isn't an exhaustive list parasites bacteria and fungi/yeast are the most common gut infections and the ones I specialize in treating.
Travel food poisoning or an outbreak in your town's water supply can all give you nasty bugs. Pathogens are just a normal part of life. It's whether your immune system is strong enough to fight them off that we need to be talking about. It's why we have stomach acid good bacteria in our gut and an immune system all keeping these "bad boys" at bay. But if you are stressed intoxicated fatigued have food sensitivities or any other illness or health condition your immune system is likely to be compromised increasing your risk of a gut infection.
