SIBO

Allison Siebecker

Gut health, or lack thereof, has been in the spotlight for very good reason. An imbalance of organisms in the gut can wreak havoc on a person's physical and mental health. Under certain conditions, an abnormal accumulation of bacteria in the small intestine may lead to a number of debilitating symptoms impacting the entire body. When these normally occurring bacteria take up residence in the small intestine, a condition known as SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, may result. 

In her new book, SIBO: A Comprehensive Guide to the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth, Dr. Allison Siebecker reveals her accumulated wisdom and experience after many years of helping patients manage this difficult condition. After dedicating her career to helping those with SIBO in her private practice, she is now sharing with everyone a treatment approach that identifies SIBO, reduces the bacterial overgrowth, and sets patients on a path to healing. Building on established evidence-based research and protocols, Dr. Siebecker’s approach to SIBO uses a combination of diet, traditional and herbal antibiotics, an elemental diet formula, prokinetics, and lifestyle changes. It’s a protocol that is proven to reduce symptoms, reduce bacterial overgrowth, and prevent recurrence.

Because the symptoms of SIBO are often similar to those caused by other conditions, many go misdiagnosed and untreated. Among those illnesses is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which has been linked directly to SIBO. Dr. Siebecker’s goal is to provide a complete guide for patients and practitioners, offering hope to those suffering from IBS and other SIBO-associated conditions.

SIBO: A Comprehensive Guide to the Diagnosis, Treatment, and Management of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is a clear, concise and easy to understand book that is designed for both physicians and patients. Dr. Siebecker not only sheds new light on treatments available to those suffering from SIBO, but also charts out foundational information that has been in the dark until now
