Everything you need to know about Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO): the three types, how it is diagnosed, treatment options including antibiotics and herbal protocols, dietary strategies, and how to prevent relapse.
Colon hydrotherapy flushes the large intestine with warm, filtered water in a 45 to 60 minute session. A 2009 systematic review found no rigorous trials supporting it for general health, so its realistic uses are short term relief of constipation and bloating.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which gluten damages the small intestine, affecting about 1 in 100 people. It is diagnosed with a tTG-IgA blood test and duodenal biopsy while still eating gluten, and treated with a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet.
An evidence-based guide to Crohn’s disease covering pathophysiology, immune dysregulation, the gut microbiome, diagnosis with colonoscopy and fecal calprotectin, conventional treatments including biologics and JAK inhibitors, integrative approaches like diet, vitamin D, curcumin, and low-dose naltrexone, complications, mental health, and pregnancy considerations.
Irritable bowel syndrome is diagnosed with the Rome IV criteria and split into IBS-C, IBS-D, IBS-M and IBS-U by the share of hard and loose stools on the Bristol scale, using a 25% threshold. Covers symptoms, causes, overlapping conditions, diet and treatment by subtype.
Hydrogen sulfide SIBO is a third form of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth that standard breath tests miss. Learn about H2S producers, symptoms, trio-smart testing, and treatment protocols including bismuth and low-sulfur diet.
The best gut health supplements are matched to the problem: specific probiotic strains such as LGG and S. boulardii, prebiotic fiber, and gut lining support from L-glutamine, butyrate and zinc carnosine, each with different strength of evidence.
Intestinal permeability is real science, not just a wellness buzzword. Learn what zonulin and tight junctions actually do, what damages the gut barrier, how to test for it, and the evidence-based protocol for healing.
A complete guide to the SIBO diet. Learn which foods to eat and avoid during SIBO treatment, how the elemental, low-FODMAP, and biphasic diets compare, and how to reintroduce foods safely.
After a colonic most people feel lighter and less bloated because stool, gas and mucus have been flushed from the large intestine. That is waste removal, not detox or fat loss, and controlled trials supporting colonics for general health are lacking.
