hey I’m back and today we’re gonna talk

about SIBO and in a minute fasting what

is SIBO small intestinal bacterial

overgrowth okay that’s a situation where

you have too much bacteria in the wrong

place

normally the bacteria should be in the

large intestine right through here but

you have too much in the small intestine

it’s not where it should be so you get

too much fermentation too much gas

bloating and then if you add too much

fiber that feeds the microbes right here

it’s gonna be worse you’ll react with

too much salad for example in which case

you have to cut it down and also

antibiotics you should never take

antibiotics if you have SIBO it’s gonna

get worse you’re gonna have more gas so

the more fiber you have the more

probiotics the worse it gets

now what I want to talk about is this

thing right here there’s something

called migratory motor complex what is

that well this is a system in your body

that allows kind of like a house

cleaning effect like a broom cleaning up

all the leftover food and bacteria it’s

supposed to sweep all this stuff out and

push it into the large intestine okay

between meals that’s a normal process

it’s on a 90 minute cycle so it happens

every 90 minutes so after you eat the

food goes down through here and then

you’re supposed to get this effect right

here of pushing any residual back in

here because we don’t want too much

bacteria in the small intestine because

this is not where certain food in

certain fibers should be digested

okay now this mechanism is controlled

and triggered by mow tilling okay which

is then triggered by bile salts okay so

bile salts actually control this let me

explain what bile salts are bile salts

are not made by the gallbladder they’re

made by the liver but they’re stored in

the gallbladder so bile salts help you

digest fats they do a lot of other

things they help get rid of excess

cholesterol they help you extract fat

soluble vitamins from the food that

you’re eating and

they also help kill bacteria believe it

or not 90% of the bile is recycled

several times through the last part of

the small intestine right through in

here so you have this recycling effect

so when you’re eating for example you’re

using a lot of bile to extract nutrients

from that food in fact an average meal

it’s between 4 and 6 grams of bile per

meal so if you’re deficient in bile or

you don’t have a gall bladder or Eva

fatty liver or we have some problem with

the liver and you don’t have enough file

this could really disrupt your digestion

but remember that bile helps kill the

bacteria so when you’re not eating the

bile triggers this this starts kicking

in you start cleaning up and killing any

residual bacteria and it goes through

here what is the problem the problem is

most people eat too frequently and they

never allow this to occur they have a

lot of undigested food and they start

developing all sorts of gas problems be

because they have now have too much

overgrowth of bacteria in the wrong

place so if you have this problem the

most important thing to do is

intermittent fasting it will allow this

process to occur okay but you also will

need to increase your stomach acids

through betaine hydrochloride and apple

cider vinegar because we want all this

food to be broken down at this level and

not end up as undigested food right here

plus there’s microbes in the food and it

could be viruses and and fungus and even

yeast we want that all killed and

sterilized at the stomach level so it

doesn’t end up down here and start

growing now if you’re deficient in bile

or you have a liver problem you can take

purified bile salts ok so and I put a

link down below for more information on

that and that way that will actually

help this process occur as well and

another beneficial thing that you can do

and I used to do this in my clinic all

the time when I was in practice is do

some acupressure for what’s called the

ileocecal valve ok now between the small

intestine in a large intestine you have

this little valve that keeps things

separated it’s controlled by the

autonomic nervous system so if you’re

stressed out for example

that can affect the autonomic nervous

system to the point where this valve is

left open as well it doesn’t close

correctly and you’ll have a lot of

discomfort in spasm in this area as well

but one of the things I used to do all

the time and you may want to try this

out because it gives people a lot of

relief is just do some gentle massage or

acupressure right in this valve to allow

it to work a lot better so what you

would do is you just basically lay down

on your bed and right on the right lower

quadrant you would massage in this area

and try to find it there’s gonna be a

really sharp tender spot in this area

maybe a little bit of a spasm and you

just massage this area until it relaxes

it gives people a lot of relief because

they have a lot of buildup of things and

so now this food that’s kind of stuck

there it can start migrating over here

and it can relieve a lot of pressure so

you might want to try that so I know

it’s a little complex but number one you

need to do intermittent fasting okay I

have a lot of videos on that I’ll put

them down below but you need to do this

if you have any bloating or any

potential of SIBO okay number one and

number two you want to realize that bile

is really necessary for this to happen

and if you have any weakness within the

liver or a missing gallbladder take some

purified bile salts that can help you as

well next thing the next point is to

acidify the stomach with betaine

hydrochloride and or Alka cider vinegar

and lastly don’t forget the natural

antibiotic in the form of garlic clove

oregano thyme there’s many different

types but those are some some good ones

and you might even want to try some

massage over this else equal valve it

may also give you a lot of relief

alright guys thanks for watching
