hey guys in this video we’re going to

talk about something called SIBO small

intestinal bacterial overgrowth okay now

some of the symptoms are bloating

because there’s gas involved methane gas

hydrogen gas hydrogen sulfide gas coming

from an excess fermentation which is the

microbes are eating too much food and

fiber so you’re gonna have this gas

which is going to cause pain so you have

a lot of bloating okay

constipation sometimes diarrhea

sometimes now here’s what’s causing this

problem okay

normally this stomach is supposed to be

very acid between one and three and

there should be no microbes growing

there okay hardly it wellmy it there

might be a couple microbes but it’s not

going to be that many same thing with

the small intestine this is not a place

where you’re supposed to have a lot of

microbial growth going on right here

most of the microbial growth should be

in the large intestine so we have the

stomach the small intestine which is

like 23 feet and then we have the large

intestine which is five feet okay this

is where all the microbes are right here

so SIBO is where the microbes are

growing in the small intestine and

sometimes even up into the stomach okay

now if the stomach is very very acid

that will kill off the microbes so the

deeper root cause to this problem most

the time it’s a low hydrochloric acid

okay and that could come from

antibiotics anti-acid junk food

consuming too much alkaline water baking

soda which is alkaline all these things

can neutralize the acid right here and

then what happens when the normal

function of the answer is supposed to

kill a microbe in a food that you eat it

doesn’t get killed it passes on through

here and starts growing right here

a lot of the food that you consume like

vegetables and and even some meat has

some microbes in them that are supposed

to be killed at the stomach level okay

so if that doesn’t happen it can

actually start growing right here

there’s a quite a few other causes to

this like one

be frequent eating now if you eat too

much what will happen is you won’t give

the body a chance to rest or clean out

the colon in between meals because

you’re eating like these snacks

constantly and that could cause it right

there because especially if there’s

constipation and then the food just sits

there and the microbes start growing the

problem with having too many bacteria in

the wrong place is the bacteria are

going to compete with the food that you

eat now normally the strong acid should

stimulate protein enzymes to break down

the protein at the stomach level it

dumps in the small intestine and the

pancreas releases its enzymes start

breaking things down and the gall

bladder starts releasing bile to break

down fats and it all works together and

then you absorb the nutrients through

the lining of the colon but the microbes

are basically going to start eating that

those nutrients and then kind of keep

you high and dry and you’re going to be

have malnutrition so that is a big

problem you know you can have all sorts

of additional symptoms from that alone

especially the fat type of vitamins not

having enough vitamin A for the eyes d

you know kay there can be just so many

different symptoms so but just to keep

it simple that’s kind of the mechanism

that’s going on so here’s what not to do

what we don’t want to do is dump more

fiber to feed the microbes microbes live

on fibre and they also live on sugar so

obviously we don’t want to do any sugar

so we don’t want to do a high-fiber diet

okay we want to do kind of a lower fiber

diet that means even vegetables you

don’t want to consume as many just a

very small amount because we don’t want

to keep feeding the situation and we

don’t want to add probiotics or microbes

because we already have too much okay so

these two things are not good here’s

what you should do in a minute fasting

okay of course I’m assuming you know

about healthy ketosis okay so that’s a

given because we don’t want to add the

sugar but in a minute fasting is very

important that way it’ll give your

system a chance to clean up all that

residue

in the and the food particles through

here in between the meals and that’s

what the body does it it helps to clean

out this stuff right here so this is

essential right here there were two

acidify your stomach with what apple

cider vinegar you can get them in

tablets and betaine how to chloride both

of those in larger amounts you can get

them together in a pill and I’ll put

some a link down below for more

information but I would do probably

eight or nine of those with a meal it

seems like a lot but it’s actually not

that much that’ll start making this acid

and then I’ll start to help you greatly

keep a very low stress life because

stress shuts this whole thing down and

it makes things worse now if you think

about what system controls digestion

it’s the parasympathetic that’s called

rest and digest and it gets inhibited by

the sympathetic or the flight or fight

mechanism so we want to keep a low

stress life some people just from that

alone could actually help correct the

situation number four you want to

consume in a tablet form clove garlic

and oregano this is really good to help

balance out the good and bad bacteria

okay so if you expect that you have this

you can go to your doctor and have them

do a test to actually see if you have

this and it’s a they can do certain

types of tests where they measure your

gas from your breath and pick it up

exactly what it is

alright thanks for watching
