The Healthy Gut Podcast Ep.27
4 – Steps to treating SIBO with Dr Melanie Keller
Dr Melanie Keller joins Rebecca this week to talk all about her 4-Step program to treat SIBO: rebalance, reinforce, remedy and renew. Dr Keller is passionate about treating SIBO and believes that an individualised approach to treatment is imperative to success. She and Rebecca get into why sharing your complete history with your practitioner is so important to truly develop a unique treatment program. They also chat about why sometimes, even after multiple treatments, SIBO can stay with us and what next steps can be taken to recover if this is the case.

Hi Rebecca,
I usually enjoy your podcast very much, but this episode has not been very helpful. Dr. Keller seems to not have understood your questions well, many of her answers didn’t have much to do with what the original question was about. We didn’t get to know what her 4 steps approach (the podcasts title!) actually is, neither what she recommends regarding diet.
Also, it would be very interesting to get any references for the claim that “methanogens really like fat”. And, what does that mean in terms of dietary recommendations, as restricting both, fat and carbohydrates, doesn’t seem viable?
If you possibly get the chance of a follow up with her, these points would be really worth clarifing, and generally perhaps try to dig more into the specifics of what’s actually happening. 🙂
