Summary

Some debates about small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can take information out of context. A nuanced examination of relapse rates after Rifaximin, or breath test intervals, may spur a conclusion that SIBO treatments and tests just don’t work. Research disagrees over the extent to which antibiotics, herbal antimicrobials, probiotics, the low FODMAP diet, and other treatments impact SIBO. SIBO is a complex condition, and treating for the root cause is important. We discuss our clinical perspectives and the latest research on SIBO testing and treatment. https://drruscio.com/?p=28107

0:48.6

And we are going to be talking about SIBO.

0:52.2

And what I would like to do is kind of argue both sides of some contentious

0:57.6

points in Sibo. And I guess let me, you know, end my prelude there and just welcome me to the show.

It's great to have you back. And I've got to say that

1:11.8

I've been really continually impressed with the work that you do, not only as a clinician,

1:17.4

but the fact that you've published a number of papers, and you really seem to be pushing

1:21.7

hard to not only maintain your clinical practice, but also publishing. And I know you said before

1:26.8

we get on the line here,

1:27.7

it's always a delicate balance, maintaining your sanity and not being overly worked
