1. SIBO can be a progressively worsening condition unless we get to the root cause and address it. However, we should
never lose hope, even after years of suffering from SIBO. This SIBO program developed by NutriRestore is simple, logical and very doable from the comfort of your home.
2. Unfortunately, SIBO can develop and worsen due to many reasons; unhealthy lifestyle, food poisoning, use of Antibiotics, eating the wrong foods too often, alcohol use, stress, etc. We don't know for sure what triggered this person's SIBO, but she suffered far too long (severe symptoms) before she sought care.
3. The use of excessive antibiotics in her case, triggered additional complications like C.Diff, that needed to be addressed as well. This is something Dr. Paul commonly sees in the advanced SIBO patients in his clinic.
4. Contrary to popular belief, a low FODMAP diet can be good for symptomatic improvement short-term, but is not typically a diet that people stick to long-term and it usually doesn’t fully address the root cause of SIBO.
5. This patient unfortunately did not seek Dr. Paul's care until after they exhausted all insurance covered-medical options. Functional Medicine is not always the first stop for people when considering care. Even when using approaches such as antibiotics, the right supplements and diet can be critical and important for long-term results with SIBO.
6. The Duration of the program often is based on the severity of SIBO and an important factor that can impact the timeframe is your commitment to making a few good lifestyle changes to give your gut health a chance!
7. Most can address SIBO with or without antibiotics. This can also be done from the comfort of your home and also on a very reasonable budget.
8. Due to his commitment to his patients and desire to help those who are unable to travel to see him, Dr. Paul has developed some of the best kits and supplements to give you the best chance of tackling SIBO while you are in the driver's seat from your own home.
In Summary: We typically see excellent results by combining some simple evidence-based applications along with high-quality supplements to help nourish and support the integrity of the gut. SIBO can be a progressively worsening condition unless we get to the root cause and address it. We don't believe in masking the symptoms. Our goal is to get to the root cause of the problem and address it whenever possible!
