Lessons learned from having chronic SIBO with Rebecca Coomes

Rebecca Coomes was diagnosed with SIBO in early 2015. On today's podcast, she reflects on the insights she has gained from having a chronic condition and the lessons she has learned about herself, her health, her body and SIBO.

In Today's Episode

In Episode 81 of The Healthy Gut Podcast, we discuss:

  • Why SIBO can be a wake up call we need to listen to

  • 100% resolution might not be possible but 75% or 80% improvement can be and that is ok

  • If we have been sick a long time, we can’t expect complete resolution within days

  • Why we should focus on how we are feeling rather than what test results say

  • Testing is helpful for diagnosis and understanding what it going on but we need to treat the whole body and the person, not just the test results

  • Why tracking how we're feeling is so helpful in recognising how we're changing

  • Diet is helpful in controlling symptoms but isn't the only element in treating SIBO

  • Why working with a skilled dietician or nutritionist is such a good investment in developing a nutritional protocol that's right for us

  • The importance of recognising disordered eating early and investing in a skilled psychologist who can help us navigate through the challenges of SIBO

  • Why there are 4 stages to treating SIBO, yet so many people only do the first 2

  • Importance of taking a 360 degree view to health and not just focussing on taking drugs and diet to fix this

  • The importance of building a dream team of Practitioners around you

  • Not letting your location stop you from getting great care

  • Understanding that we know our bodies the best. Trust your symptoms and instincts

  • Changing your internal dialogue and limiting self beliefs

  • Writing down your goals and working towards them

  • Prioritising your spending so you spend money on health and fulfilment rather than distractions

  • Looking to see what positives and lessons you can take from this experience
