| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Dr. Rousho Radio, providing practical and science-based solutions to feeling your best. |

| 0:27.7 | Hey, everyone. Welcome back. Let's discuss four of the most effective treatments for SIBO |
| 0:33.7 | and also some nuances regarding different people have different guts, and therefore |
| 0:38.7 | these tools may take a slightly different application to help those different people use |
| 0:45.5 | them as effectively as possible. This is Dr. Makarusho. I am a professor at the University of |
| 0:52.4 | Bridgeport, a clinician, and a clinical researcher, |
| 0:54.9 | and one of my areas of interest and focus in publication is SIBO, small intestinal |
| 0:59.4 | bacterial life growth, which is a quite important entity to focus on because anything that |
| 1:06.0 | can disrupt gut function and SIBO might affect roughly 30 to 40% of people with digestive symptoms may also |
| 1:14.3 | contribute to things like fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, skin issues, just as a short list, |
| 1:21.8 | because of the very important impact, the gut, specifically the small intestine, exert on your entire body, |
| 1:29.3 | partially through nutrient absorption, partially through how the intestine is perhaps one of the |
| 1:35.0 | main sources of inflammation. So let's start our discussion of these four tools, |
| 1:41.7 | the low phob map diet, probiotics, the elemental diet, and also herbal antimicrobials. |
| 1:48.1 | And as a backdrop, keep in mind this framing that we've been using at the office, which helps parse |
| 1:55.4 | the individual from the symptoms. And how I mean that is if we know that there's gut dysfunction |
| 2:03.6 | that's leading to the bloating, the abdominal pain, maybe the brain fog, the insomnia, then we |
| 2:10.7 | need to better understand what is it in particular in the gut that we can remedy. Now, in some cases it is SIBO, but consider a study, a very elegant study by Dr. Satish Rao, gastroenterologist at University of Augusta, has been on the podcast a few times, where he surveyed people with gastrointestinal symptoms that had no known cause. |
| 2:32.8 | So they weren't celiac, there was an inflammatory bowel |
| 2:35.0 | disease. He found about 20% had SIBO. About 20% had C-Foe, fungal overgrowth, and 20% had both. |
