Quick answers
What is SIBO?
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) happens when bacteria that normally live in the large intestine grow in the small intestine.
This can interfere with digestion and lead to symptoms such as bloating, pain, and food intolerance.
SIBO is often linked to IBS, gut infections, stress, hormone changes, or digestive problems.
Symptoms may come and go, and many people experience recurrence.
Common symptoms
People often seek support for:
- Bloating after eating
- Abdominal discomfort
- Excess gas
- Constipation or diarrhoea
- IBS diagnosis but ongoing symptoms
- Food intolerances
- Recurrent SIBO
- Indigestion
- Nausea after meals
- Fatigue with gut symptoms
How nutrition support can help
Targeted nutrition and gut health support may help:
- Reduce bloating
- Improve digestion
- Restore gut balance
- Identify food triggers
- Support recovery after antibiotics
- Reduce recurrence risk
- Improve energy and wellbeing
Support is personalised and not based on restrictive diets alone.
When to see your GP
Speak to your GP if you have:
- Severe or persistent pain
- Unexplained weight loss
- Blood in stool
- Ongoing diarrhoea
- Symptoms not improving
We often work alongside your GP or gastroenterologist.
How we support SIBO
SIBO often returns when the underlying cause has not been addressed.
Our approach focuses on understanding why symptoms developed and creating a structured plan to support recovery.
1. Detailed assessment of symptoms & history
We review:
- IBS or gut diagnosis history
- Previous SIBO treatment
- Antibiotics or infections
- Diet patterns
- Stress levels
- Hormones and lifestyle
This helps guide the right approach.
2. Personalised nutrition approach
Depending on your symptoms we may use:
- Low FODMAP approach
- SIBO-specific diet strategies
- Gradual reintroduction
- Meal timing changes
- Fibre adjustments
The goal is symptom relief without unnecessary restriction.
3. Supporting gut function & microbiome balance
We may work on:
- Digestive function
- Gut bacteria balance
- Bloating after meals
- Food tolerance
- Inflammation
- Nutrient status
4. Looking at root causes of recurrent SIBO
Recurrent symptoms may be linked to:
- Stress or nervous system imbalance
- Hormone changes
- Gut motility issues
- Previous illness or infection
- Long-term IBS
- Thyroid or metabolic factors
Addressing these reduces recurrence risk.
5. Functional testing when appropriate
In more complex cases we may consider testing to guide treatment.
