Treatments Strategy for SIBO

In 2006, Dr Pimentel shared his treatment protocol for IBS with SIBO, which included the use of antibiotics, an elemental diet, or both.  I offer 2 additional options, diet and herbal antibiotics.  See my explanation and treatment algorithm on You Tube (an excerpt from my class SIBO: Overview), and further details in the treatment section on page 2 of my article: Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth: Often Ignored Cause of IBS.
  • Reduce the bacteria.  Options include:
                Antibiotics
                Herbal Antibiotics
                Elemental Formula
                Diet
  • Heal the SI lining.   Occurs on it's own with bacteria reduced, assisted by diet and optional supplements.
  • Prevent relapse.  

For the most thorough discussion on SIBO treatment, including a detailed algorithm, please see my video classes.
