Life Beyond SIBO

  1. Thanks again Rebecca – your Podcasts are wonderful, as is Chris, who has helped me get back to much better gut health after following his methodical, clear-sighted, well-informed approach. I’m now enjoying much more diverse foods and loving it, and although not completely there, my uBiome tests 9 months apart reflect my improvement in symptoms, including improved energy and enjoyment of foods! Yay to Chris, and bravo to you!

  2. Hi – wondering if doing the Ubiome test would be best to do AFTER I’ve finished with the killing phase of treating my SIBO? Are the results most helpful after kill phase and after heal phase.

      Hi Heidi
      Some people like to do a before and after comparison, so they can see the impact their SIBO treatment has had on their broader microbiome. It’s really a personal choice as to what you’d like to do.
      Kind regards
      Rebecca

  3. Absolutely loved it…….well done Chris (my Naturopath who got me on the right track). I paid heed to the carrot situation……whilst Stephanie (comment above) is correct, I am always “open”to change as we are all different (as we all know)!!!

  4. I love your podcasts and appreciate all the information they provide. It was one of them with Dr Siebecker that led me to look at, and confirm SIBO as my diagnosis!Thank you very much for all your work in pursuing these experts (my PCP certainly is of NO help!) On this podcast, Chris talked about the benefit of zinc, both for assisting in the production of hydrochloric acid and for gut healing. However, I have been unable to find any research that supports this. What I am finding indicates zinc suppresses HCl production. The research I am finding isn’t particularly new. Can you please provide me with newer research links that support this? Also, what form of zinc and in what dosage is he using it?

    I was confused when Chris mentioned carrots as being highly fermentable on the Fast Tract Diet. I have followed that diet and eat a lot of carrots so I checked the list in Dr. Robillard’s book. Both raw and cooked carrots are considered “low relative symptom risk” and fermentation potential is 5 for cooked and 7 for raw. Did I misunderstand him? Thank you!
