so today we’re talk about how SIBO can

steal your nutrients SIBO is small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth okay and

basically that is this normally your

flora your good friendly bacteria should

be on the large intestines right through

here but when it gets into the small

intestines it becomes this and what

happens is when you eat these microbes

start fermenting carbohydrates they

start eating up your nutrients

especially b12 iron and bile so bloating

abdominal pain and gas are just one side

effect but a bigger side effect is the

nutritional deficiencies so when you’re

deficient in b12 you can have all sorts

of things from serious neurological

issues shooting stabbing pain to anemia

and the list goes on and on on and then

iron anemia fatigue and then when you’re

deficient in bile you no longer can

digest your fats and you can’t extract

fat Seibel vitamins so you become

deficient in vitamin A vitamin D vitamin

E and vitamin K as well as essential

fatty acids and there’s so many symptoms

that are associated with those nutrients

so what causes SIBO well it could come

from many different things one being

some complication after surgery because

they structurally altered your digestive

system and sometimes that physical

alteration allows the bacteria to escape

going backwards into the small intestine

where you have this huge problem it

could also come from not having enough

stomach acid normally in the stomach the

pH should be between one and three this

is very very acidic and one of the big

purposes of having a really strong

acidic stomach is to kill off microbes

so if you don’t have that acid the

microbes that come from the food go into

the stomach and invade the small

intestine and start to multiply and

start living down here alright so now

what do you do about this condition

number one you need to increase the

acidity of your stomach very very

important I would start with something

called betaine hydrochloride you can get

them in pills I would take at least five

before

each meal I would also take out soda

vinegar as well on a regular basis you

can even get pills that combine outside

of vinegar powder with betaine

hydrochloride and take them together

that will start helping this area right

here number two you want to do

intermittent fasting this gives your

digestive system a chance to reset and

clean out some of the food for the

microbes and allow the transit time and

the food to kind of get through down

into the small intestine through here

now one of the things that happens when

you do in a minute fasting is you have

this kind of this washing effect of the

food back into the large intestine which

happened from these little cilia hairs

so you get this cleaning effect if you

could do in a minute fasting long enough

very very important compared to eat

eating so frequently if you’re not doing

in a minute fasting I believe you can

never fully handle this condition next

thing is to avoid prebiotics and I’m

talking about fiber do not consume fiber

and I’m talking about vegetables as well

for at least a month to six weeks

because guess what these microbes live

on that fiber they’ll ferment the fiber

and you’ll get gas and that also goes

for probiotics don’t take probiotics

because we’re trying to avoid adding

more bacteria you already have too much

bacteria and the microbes that are in

there don’t like to be in there and you

have unfriendly ones as well so this

huge competition and definitely don’t

consume something that combines both of

these a pre and a probiotic together

that would be like sauerkraut that would

really create a bloating effect the last

thing I would recommend is some type of

herbal antibiotic I mean you can do

oregano thyme clove garlic and that will

create an environment that’s very

antimicrobial so that’s what you want so

in summary I want to emphasize that this

condition is actually way more common

than you might think and number two one

of the big problems with this condition

is the nutrition deficiencies that a lot

of people don’t realize that could be

creating symptoms that you’re not aware

of so those nutritional deficiencies are

not coming because you’re not eating

certain foods they’re coming because the

microbes are actually eating them up and

they’re not giving them to you now

there’s a lot more to this

as far as getting tests to determine if

you have it or not I put some links down
