00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:10.189
What if you've been told you have IBS, tried probiotics, changed your diet, had expensive stool testing, and nobody has actually looked for SIBO?
00:00:10.589 --> 00:00:19.309
This is something I see far too often, particularly when bloating, constipation, and food reactions begin after a bout of food poisoning.
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:25.809
In today's episode, I'm walking you through a real patient case where the clues were there from the beginning.
00:00:26.219 --> 00:00:32.840
Significant bloating, nausea, reflux, constipation, brain fog, and even histamine-type reactions.
00:00:33.229 --> 00:00:46.109
We'll look at how I recognized the pattern, why I prioritized SIBO testing, what her results showed, and the simple changes that had already improved many of her symptoms by the time I saw her again.
00:00:48.426 --> 00:00:53.767

00:01:27.859 --> 00:01:28.640
Hi, everyone.
00:01:28.709 --> 00:01:30.530
Welcome back to The Histamine Well.
00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:37.868
Today, I'm gonna walk you through a case of a lovely girl that came to see me recently with gut issues.
00:01:37.868 --> 00:01:54.998
And I wanted to talk about this case for a few reasons, and the first one is that SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, which she has, and I'll walk you through how I detected that, is the main cause of irritable bowel syndrome.
00:01:55.259 --> 00:02:00.108
So IBS, meaning you've got a bad gut, don't really know the cause.
00:02:01.028 --> 00:02:02.828
The doctors might do a stool test.
00:02:02.849 --> 00:02:07.769
They often don't find anything and just give you some fiber or something.
00:02:08.408 --> 00:02:12.408
So this lovely girl came to see me.
00:02:12.449 --> 00:02:15.079
She got food poisoning in a third-world country.
00:02:15.778 --> 00:02:21.498
She had significant bloating, waves of nausea, sweating, abdominal cramps.
00:02:22.829 --> 00:02:24.799
Probiotics made bloating worse.
00:02:24.799 --> 00:02:26.408
That's a classic sign of SIBO.
00:02:27.549 --> 00:02:29.519
She had reflux and heartburn.
00:02:29.519 --> 00:02:31.229
She had a lot of belching.
00:02:31.868 --> 00:02:35.769
She was also constipated, going every second day with incomplete emptying.
00:02:36.568 --> 00:02:37.889
She also had headaches.
00:02:37.929 --> 00:02:39.199
She was very tired.
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:40.489
She had a lot of brain fog.
00:02:41.498 --> 00:02:47.848
And she developed this sort of chronic cough and actually had an asthma attack after eating leftover lunch.
00:02:48.248 --> 00:02:51.838
So anyone who knows about histamine, would be like,"Oh, dear.
00:02:52.008 --> 00:03:05.729
That was a histamine reaction." Now, before this girl came to see me, she had seen several naturopaths and was told just to do a complete microbiome test, a stool test.
00:03:06.098 --> 00:03:11.338
Now, it's not that I'm against those tests, but she wasn't flagged for SIBO, right?
00:03:11.338 --> 00:03:13.278
And I see this time and time again.
00:03:15.700 --> 00:03:24.550
The majority of gut issues, especially when there's a histamine component and there's been food poisoning, are SIBO.
00:03:24.911 --> 00:03:27.131
80% of IBS globally is SIBO.
00:03:27.181 --> 00:03:31.665
So we need to be looking at SIBO first These tests are expensive.
00:03:31.675 --> 00:03:33.765
Like, the stool test is, like,$480.
00:03:33.765 --> 00:03:36.876
A SIBO test is, like,$220 or something like that.
00:03:37.656 --> 00:03:45.415
So the priority is SIBO because she has all the symptoms of it, and she has all the risk factors for it.
00:03:45.876 --> 00:03:57.866
And Yes, so basically I was pretty adamant she had SIBO, so I told her to get a refund for the stool test that she did, and I'll walk you through my thinking about that.
00:03:58.186 --> 00:04:02.406
As I said, she had the signs and symptoms of SIBO, and she had lots of histamine symptoms.
00:04:03.045 --> 00:04:05.596
So I put her on the SIBO low histamine diet.
00:04:06.086 --> 00:04:08.925
That gets your histamine bucket down really quickly.
00:04:09.556 --> 00:04:14.156
I have that diet available for sale via my e-bundle on my website if you're interested.
00:04:15.195 --> 00:04:22.615
And I also got her to start some digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid and pancreatic enzymes.
00:04:23.175 --> 00:04:36.346
Now, my instruction to her with regards to the heartburn, because when you take hydrochloric acid it can make heartburn worse and really burn you-- was to go on that SIBO low histamine diet there for at least a week until the heartburn went away.
00:04:36.346 --> 00:04:38.555
And she did that, and she took it and was fine.
00:04:39.175 --> 00:04:41.646
I also gave her some partially hydrolyzed guar gum.
00:04:42.206 --> 00:04:46.956
That's good for fiber when you're on a low FODMAP diet'cause she needed help with her bowels.
00:04:47.475 --> 00:04:49.946
She was already taking magnesium, so she stayed on that.
00:04:52.067 --> 00:04:54.317
And I got her to do the SIBO test.
00:04:54.788 --> 00:04:59.197
When I looked at her diet, she was also having bone broth every day to try and help heal her gut.
00:04:59.247 --> 00:05:00.697
So a big histamine load there.
00:05:01.968 --> 00:05:06.447
So I just sent her off for SIBO testing, and it came back positive for methane SIBO.
00:05:07.298 --> 00:05:12.317
And when I saw her at her follow-up, her bloating was 80% gone.
00:05:12.728 --> 00:05:16.947
No nausea, no sweating, no abdominal cramps, no reflux, no heartburn.
00:05:16.947 --> 00:05:19.458
She was tolerating the hydrochloric acid, no belching.
00:05:20.408 --> 00:05:24.418
Her bowels were improved, but she can still struggle a little bit.
00:05:24.487 --> 00:05:27.958
She feels like there's just sort of incomplete emptying, a bit of straining.
00:05:28.947 --> 00:05:37.997
Now, she was only up to taking two teaspoons of partially hydrolyzed guar gum,'cause you do need to increase that slowly just to make sure you don't get extra bloated from it.
00:05:38.778 --> 00:05:47.817
But since her bloating was significantly reduced and she was getting constipated, I got her to then take two tablespoons to build up to two tablespoons.
00:05:49.017 --> 00:05:54.257
Before we go any further, I want to speak directly to the practitioners and students listening.
00:05:54.538 --> 00:06:07.348
If you're intrigued by histamine and methylation and eager to expand your knowledge in this fascinating area, we offer the Histamine and Methylation Online Group Coaching course, the only program of its kind.
00:06:07.598 --> 00:06:18.898
It covers everything you need to know about histamine and methylation, providing both the theory and guidance you need to treat these issues effectively in clinical practice.
00:06:19.237 --> 00:06:36.237
We cover SIBO, hormonal imbalances, oxalates, MTHFR, the four pathways of methylation, including the folate pathway, methionine pathway, tetrahydrobiopterin pathway, and the all-important transsulfuration pathway, and much more.
00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:54.548
The program is delivered by detailed online webinars and handouts for you to keep, and for eight weeks, you'll meet with me for live coaching calls in a private community space with other practitioners from all over the world dealing with histamine and methylation issues in their patients every day.
00:06:54.767 --> 00:06:57.017
Together, we learn so much.
00:06:57.327 --> 00:07:12.180
To learn more and apply, visit joannekennedynaturopathy.com The other thing she told me was that when she eats fats, she feels heavy in the abdomen and feels tired.
00:07:13.110 --> 00:07:14.891
So she needs support with bile.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.060
She was feeling so good, so she was happy to buy a different digestive enzyme.
00:07:20.591 --> 00:07:27.401
So I got her on the Thorne Advanced Digestive Enzyme, which has hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and ox bile.
00:07:27.940 --> 00:07:36.730
And she was just to keep taking the Orthoplex Hydrozyme, that's the hydrochloric acid, and the Orthoplex DEF, that's the pancreatic enzymes, until she got that Thorne product.
00:07:37.620 --> 00:07:48.290
That should help with her bowels, get her bowels moving, stop that nausea that she gets or that heavy feeling in her abdomen that she gets from the fats.
00:07:49.461 --> 00:07:57.380
Now, the other thing is when you get methane bacteria down, it will help with constipation because methane slows motility.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.620
So the herbs that I love to use for methane SIBO are just oregano and allicin.
00:08:05.511 --> 00:08:06.901
I gave her that.
00:08:07.348 --> 00:08:09.759
And her histamine bucket was down, right?
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.168
So she had no headaches.
00:08:13.019 --> 00:08:14.499
She had no asthma.
00:08:15.038 --> 00:08:28.019
So I was happy with her histamine bucket coming down from getting the histamine foods out of her diet for a while and just getting that SIBO down,'cause SIBO just drives inflammation, it drives up histamine.
00:08:28.548 --> 00:08:44.746
So I was happy to swap her on just to a SIBO diet and I said,"Just watch your headaches, or if your heartburn came back." But I was pretty happy with how she was going, so I just put her on the SIBO diet, increased the partially hydrolyzed guar gum to two tablespoons.
00:08:45.466 --> 00:08:49.756
Got her on the allicin, the oregano, and the Thorne Advanced Digestive Enzymes.
00:08:49.976 --> 00:08:52.636
So guys, it can be really, really as simple as that.
00:08:52.966 --> 00:08:55.576
And I am convinced this girl will get rid of her SIBO.
00:08:55.826 --> 00:08:57.667
She's extremely compliant.
00:08:58.006 --> 00:08:59.636
She's tolerating supplements.
00:08:59.937 --> 00:09:03.417
We've just got this little hurdle at the moment, which is her constipation.
00:09:04.417 --> 00:09:12.836
But if we get the fiber up, if we get the methane-producing bacteria down, bile's also a natural laxative.
00:09:12.956 --> 00:09:18.927
That's also why I put her on that Thorne Advanced Digestive Enzymes with the ox bile support as well.
00:09:19.697 --> 00:09:27.917
The poor thing had been through the ringer, and she had, you know, been to several practitioners who didn't do any testing.
00:09:27.927 --> 00:09:29.456
The last one said do a stool test.
00:09:29.506 --> 00:09:30.826
No one picked up SIBO.
00:09:31.506 --> 00:09:47.187
So if you are having these issues with your gut and you wanna see a practitioner for testing, really push for SIBO testing, or you can buy it online yourself through sibotest.com or in the United States there's lots of labs.
00:09:47.777 --> 00:09:51.777
You can get it through Direct Labs, which is in California.
00:09:51.836 --> 00:09:54.716
They'll post throughout the United States.
00:09:54.746 --> 00:09:57.006
United Arab Emirates, I know you can get it easily.
00:09:57.006 --> 00:09:57.606
The UK.
00:09:57.667 --> 00:10:01.856
You can just order a SIBO test yourself and get it done.
00:10:01.986 --> 00:10:05.287
That's my two bobs worth for this case.
00:10:05.297 --> 00:10:17.197
And I just wanted to talk about it because it's actually a really simple case, and I see simple cases like this just not being managed properly.
00:10:17.716 --> 00:10:22.927
So I just wanted to bring it up because it, it shouldn't be an expensive, timely ordeal.
00:10:23.187 --> 00:10:26.626
Sure, it can take four months for her to clear the SIBO.
00:10:26.866 --> 00:10:28.317
Methane's a bit stubborn.
00:10:28.917 --> 00:10:41.447
But, you know, once she's seen me for a few consults, As long as she's good when I see her next time with her bowels, then she's on her way, and I probably won't see her for another couple of months, and then we'll always retest.
00:10:42.317 --> 00:10:51.287
We always retest SIBO to make sure it's gone, and then we reintroduce the FODMAP foods and if it's gone, then people very, very rarely get symptoms.
00:10:51.856 --> 00:11:00.537
So if you need help with your gut, if you know you've got SIBO, you can easily make an appointment to see us via my website, joannekennedynaturopathy.com.

00:04:47.475 --> 00:04:49.946
She was already taking magnesium, so she stayed on that.
00:04:52.067 --> 00:04:54.317
And I got her to do the SIBO test.
00:04:54.788 --> 00:04:59.197
When I looked at her diet, she was also having bone broth every day to try and help heal her gut.
00:04:59.247 --> 00:05:00.697
So a big histamine load there.
00:05:01.968 --> 00:05:06.447
So I just sent her off for SIBO testing, and it came back positive for methane SIBO.
00:05:07.298 --> 00:05:12.317
And when I saw her at her follow-up, her bloating was 80% gone.
00:05:12.728 --> 00:05:16.947
No nausea, no sweating, no abdominal cramps, no reflux, no heartburn.
00:05:16.947 --> 00:05:19.458
She was tolerating the hydrochloric acid, no belching.
00:05:20.408 --> 00:05:24.418
Her bowels were improved, but she can still struggle a little bit.
00:05:24.487 --> 00:05:27.958
She feels like there's just sort of incomplete emptying, a bit of straining.
00:05:28.947 --> 00:05:37.997
Now, she was only up to taking two teaspoons of partially hydrolyzed guar gum,'cause you do need to increase that slowly just to make sure you don't get extra bloated from it.
00:05:38.778 --> 00:05:47.817
But since her bloating was significantly reduced and she was getting constipated, I got her to then take two tablespoons to build up to two tablespoons.
00:05:49.017 --> 00:05:54.257
Before we go any further, I want to speak directly to the practitioners and students listening.
00:05:54.538 --> 00:06:07.348
If you're intrigued by histamine and methylation and eager to expand your knowledge in this fascinating area, we offer the Histamine and Methylation Online Group Coaching course, the only program of its kind.
00:06:07.598 --> 00:06:18.898
It covers everything you need to know about histamine and methylation, providing both the theory and guidance you need to treat these issues effectively in clinical practice.
00:06:19.237 --> 00:06:36.237
We cover SIBO, hormonal imbalances, oxalates, MTHFR, the four pathways of methylation, including the folate pathway, methionine pathway, tetrahydrobiopterin pathway, and the all-important transsulfuration pathway, and much more.
00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:54.548
The program is delivered by detailed online webinars and handouts for you to keep, and for eight weeks, you'll meet with me for live coaching calls in a private community space with other practitioners from all over the world dealing with histamine and methylation issues in their patients every day.
00:06:54.767 --> 00:06:57.017
Together, we learn so much.
00:06:57.327 --> 00:07:12.180
To learn more and apply, visit joannekennedynaturopathy.com The other thing she told me was that when she eats fats, she feels heavy in the abdomen and feels tired.
00:07:13.110 --> 00:07:14.891
So she needs support with bile.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:20.060
She was feeling so good, so she was happy to buy a different digestive enzyme.
00:07:20.591 --> 00:07:27.401
So I got her on the Thorne Advanced Digestive Enzyme, which has hydrochloric acid, pancreatic enzymes, and ox bile.
00:07:27.940 --> 00:07:36.730
And she was just to keep taking the Orthoplex Hydrozyme, that's the hydrochloric acid, and the Orthoplex DEF, that's the pancreatic enzymes, until she got that Thorne product.
00:07:37.620 --> 00:07:48.290
That should help with her bowels, get her bowels moving, stop that nausea that she gets or that heavy feeling in her abdomen that she gets from the fats.
00:07:49.461 --> 00:07:57.380
Now, the other thing is when you get methane bacteria down, it will help with constipation because methane slows motility.
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:02.620
So the herbs that I love to use for methane SIBO are just oregano and allicin.
00:08:05.511 --> 00:08:06.901
I gave her that.
00:08:07.348 --> 00:08:09.759
And her histamine bucket was down, right?
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.168
So she had no headaches.
00:08:13.019 --> 00:08:14.499
She had no asthma.
00:08:15.038 --> 00:08:28.019
So I was happy with her histamine bucket coming down from getting the histamine foods out of her diet for a while and just getting that SIBO down,'cause SIBO just drives inflammation, it drives up histamine.
00:08:28.548 --> 00:08:44.746
So I was happy to swap her on just to a SIBO diet and I said,"Just watch your headaches, or if your heartburn came back." But I was pretty happy with how she was going, so I just put her on the SIBO diet, increased the partially hydrolyzed guar gum to two tablespoons.
00:08:45.466 --> 00:08:49.756
Got her on the allicin, the oregano, and the Thorne Advanced Digestive Enzymes.
00:08:49.976 --> 00:08:52.636
So guys, it can be really, really as simple as that.
00:08:52.966 --> 00:08:55.576
And I am convinced this girl will get rid of her SIBO.
00:08:55.826 --> 00:08:57.667
She's extremely compliant.
00:08:58.006 --> 00:08:59.636
She's tolerating supplements.
00:08:59.937 --> 00:09:03.417
We've just got this little hurdle at the moment, which is her constipation.
00:09:04.417 --> 00:09:12.836
But if we get the fiber up, if we get the methane-producing bacteria down, bile's also a natural laxative.
00:09:12.956 --> 00:09:18.927
That's also why I put her on that Thorne Advanced Digestive Enzymes with the ox bile support as well.
00:09:19.697 --> 00:09:27.917
The poor thing had been through the ringer, and she had, you know, been to several practitioners who didn't do any testing.
00:09:27.927 --> 00:09:29.456
The last one said do a stool test.
00:09:29.506 --> 00:09:30.826
No one picked up SIBO.
00:09:31.506 --> 00:09:47.187
So if you are having these issues with your gut and you wanna see a practitioner for testing, really push for SIBO testing, or you can buy it online yourself through sibotest.com or in the United States there's lots of labs.
00:09:47.777 --> 00:09:51.777
You can get it through Direct Labs, which is in California.
00:09:51.836 --> 00:09:54.716
They'll post throughout the United States.
00:09:54.746 --> 00:09:57.006
United Arab Emirates, I know you can get it easily.
00:09:57.006 --> 00:09:57.606
The UK.
00:09:57.667 --> 00:10:01.856
You can just order a SIBO test yourself and get it done.
00:10:01.986 --> 00:10:05.287
That's my two bobs worth for this case.
00:10:05.297 --> 00:10:17.197
And I just wanted to talk about it because it's actually a really simple case, and I see simple cases like this just not being managed properly.
00:10:17.716 --> 00:10:22.927
So I just wanted to bring it up because it, it shouldn't be an expensive, timely ordeal.
00:10:23.187 --> 00:10:26.626
Sure, it can take four months for her to clear the SIBO.
00:10:26.866 --> 00:10:28.317
Methane's a bit stubborn.
00:10:28.917 --> 00:10:41.447
But, you know, once she's seen me for a few consults, As long as she's good when I see her next time with her bowels, then she's on her way, and I probably won't see her for another couple of months, and then we'll always retest.
00:10:42.317 --> 00:10:51.287
We always retest SIBO to make sure it's gone, and then we reintroduce the FODMAP foods and if it's gone, then people very, very rarely get symptoms.
00:10:51.856 --> 00:11:00.537
