Did you know that if SIBO is left untreated, it can actually lead to other conditions, such as obesity, acne, anemia, fatigue, IBS, and even depression? Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is the excessive growing of bacteria in the lower part of the small intestine. Studies show that 6 to 15% of healthy, aymptomatic people have SIBO. These bacteria are of different varieties and is normally located in the colon or large intestines. The mechanisms that regulates the balanced bacteria population in the intestines are compromised and SIBO occurs. A person with SIBO experiences abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distention or bloating which is because of too much gas in the stomach, too much belching, and constipation. When SIBO is severe, a person starts to lose weight and begins to have a vitamin deficiency. Because of the symptoms, people commonly thought SIBO as a typical stomach disease and it is not correctly diagnosed as SIBO. According to Kresser (2016), SIBO is a largely under-diagnosed disease. Patients do not usually consult when they have symptoms and most Doctors are not aware how common SIBO is. The symptoms of SIBO are difficult to minimize and treat.

"By combining cutting-edge technical and medical information from health experts with her own expert advice and insights as a patient who has been there herself, Shivan Sarna has created an invaluable resource for the millions of people struggling with SIBO." –Dr. Allison Siebecker A guide to recognizing and overcoming SIBO, with a 21-day plan to stop feeling bloated, start losing weight, and fix your gut. Millions of Americans suffer from bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food intolerances, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Many spend years in pain before they figure out just what's going on with their gut. And while irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is commonly diagnosed, SIBO, a disorder with basically all the same symptoms, is not. Some studies show eighty percent of people who suffer from IBS, mostly women, likely also have SIBO, an overlooked health issue that is difficult to diagnose. So, what is SIBO? The acronym stands for Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, a disorder in which bacteria that usually live in other parts of the gut start to proliferate and take up residence in the small intestine. This causes a whole confluence of symptoms, ranging from bloating and cramps, to uncontrollable weight gain or weight loss, to even malnutrition when the bacteria eat up vital nutrients from our food. After decades of dealing with debilitating symptoms with no relief, Shivan Sarna's life finally changed when she was diagnosed with SIBO. As she eliminated her symptoms one by one through lifestyle changes and help from her physicians, she started to synthesize her personal experiences with Western and naturopathic medicine and dedicate herself to advocating for those suffering from SIBO, or those who think they could be. Now, in this groundbreaking book, Shivan shares her step-by-step plan to treat, manage, and even heal SIBO, with information on what to eat and what to avoid, how to build a routine to manage your symptoms, and how to work with your doctor to find supplements and medications that promote healing. Shivan also includes a 21-day plan, which includes more than 40 recipes to put you on the path to recovery. Whether you're SIBO-diagnosed or SIBO-suspicious, this empowering guide will change the way you approach and think about your gut and overall health.
