Green-pillWhat Is SIBO?

Bacteria are generally found in large intestines, where they perform various symbiotic functions for the body. SIBO is a condition where bacterial overgrowth occurs in the small intestines, typically producing following symptoms:

  • Bloating and /or wind
  • Abdominal pain and cramping
  • Halitosis
  • Burping and Acid Reflux
  • IBS diarrhoea/constipation
  • Food sensitivities
  • Joint pain
  • Skin rashes
  • Temporary improvement in symptoms after antibiotic therapy

Green-pillWhat May Contribute To Development Of SIBO?

  • Previous gastrointestinal infections such as traveller’s diarrhoea, food poisoning, gastroenteritis
  • Overconsumption of simple carbohydrates
  • Medications (e.g. proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs), opiates, prolonged use of broad spectrum antibiotics (e.g. amoxicillin, tetracycline)
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Chronic stress, which decreases stomach acid production
  • Ileocecal valve dysfunction, which results in a back flow of material from the colon into the small intestine
  • Adhesions and scarring due to surgery

Green-pillDiagnosis Of SIBO

There is currently no single gold standard test for SIBO diagnosis, however, the most commonly used procedure is a lactulose breath test (LBT). This involves the administration of 10g lactulose, with breath samples collected at 20-minute intervals for three hours.

The intestinal flora ferments the testing substance, resulting in the production of hydrogen and/or methane (depending on the overgrowth type), and it is these gases that are measured.

Glucose together with lactulose breath test may be a more accurate method for assessing the presence of SIBO, due to lactulose being useful to identify overgrowth in the distal small intestine, while glucose is more useful in identifying overgrowth in the proximal parts (due to the site of glucose absorption).

More information on SIBO diagnosis and breath testing can be found on www.sibotest.com

We went to Dorota after struggling with infertility for about 2 years, right after visiting a fertility doctor that provided us with absolutely no insights as to what's wrong. One of the first things Dorota said to us was no infertility is unexplained or without cause. She patiently analysed our blood tests, prescribed supplements and most of all provided us with the care and support we needed through this very difficult journey of infertility. We are now 33 weeks pregnant and we couldn't have made it so far without Dorota's guidance and experience. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much Dorota!

Dear Dorota, Thank you so much for all your support, wisdom and knowledge during this pregnancy! You've played a huge role in making sure everything goes as smooth as possible and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! Whenever I come across women who are dealing with the hardship if a miscarriage, your name is on my mind and I always tell them how much you've helped me! I would highly recommend Dorota for any issues related to women's health.

Dorota is an exceptional practitioner. I struggled for years with severe endometriosis and the accompanying infertility and fatigue etc. that followed. My goal seeing her was to improve My general well-being but also to have a baby. I now have a beautiful healthy, super alert and active 9 month old boy which we conceived following Dorota’s advice. She doesn’t just give you pills like other naturopaths, she investigates your symptoms and medical results to provide you with supplements and advice tailored to your body. I noticed results within 4 months, reduced fatigue, improved focus and less pain, and after following her recommendations regarding medical specialists fell pregnant 2 months later. I tell everyone I know to go see her and can’t recommend her enough. It’s hard to find someone who balances evidence based practice with complimentary medicine and naturopathy, thank you Dorota!

Dorota has been a life saver who has helped us with the challenges of infertility and as well as helping with my endometriosis and hashimotos. After following all her recommendations we fell pregnant naturally at 39 and now have a beautiful 9month old baby girl. I highly recommend Dorota to anyone affected by infertility, pregnancy and auto immune issues as she really does make a difference.

Dorota offers really good advice and a different way of thinking about PCOS. There are no drastic, scary recommendations like some fad diets offer. Usually women with PCOS get so fed up that we go for the newest dieting craze (I'm so guilty of that!). She spoke with me and came up with a plan that's realistic and shows proven results.
