SIBO

Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth Specialist

SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) is a gut disorder that occurs when bacteria that normally live in the large intestine overgrow in the small intestine.

Let's Look Into

Some of The SIBO Symptoms

Bloating:

Feeling excessively full or swollen in the abdomen, especially after meals, due to trapped gas from bacterial fermentation.

Gas:

Frequent burping or flatulence caused by overactive bacteria producing excess gas during digestion in the small intestine.

Abdominal Pain

Cramping, discomfort, or a burning sensation in the belly due to inflammation and pressure from gas and bacterial activity.

Constipation

Infrequent, difficult, or incomplete bowel movements caused by disrupted gut motility and imbalanced gut flora.

Diarrhea

Loose, watery stools often triggered by irritation in the intestines and poor digestion from bacterial overgrowth.

Fatigue

Persistent tiredness even after rest, due to poor nutrient absorption and inflammation caused by SIBO.

Skin Disorders

Conditions like acne, eczema, or rashes linked to toxins and inflammation from bacterial imbalance affecting skin health.

Brain Fog

Difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness, and mental fatigue often connected to gut-brain axis disruption from SIBO.

Depression

Mood imbalances and low motivation possibly triggered by gut inflammation and poor serotonin production in the gut.

Asthma

Respiratory symptoms may worsen due to immune responses triggered by food sensitivities and gut inflammation related to SIBO.

Often misdiagnosed as IBS, the true root cause lies in a microbial imbalance within the small intestine.

The Truth About Treatment

Let’s be real—there’s no magic pill or quick fix for SIBO. Healing:

  • Requires time and patience
  • Demands a skilled practitioner who understands the complexity of the condition
  • Must be comprehensive and personalized for lasting results

Why Does Early Treatment Matter?

Left untreated, SIBO can lead to serious health complications.
 I've helped patients overcome SIBO for more than 30 years using safe, evidence-based natural medicine.

But I don’t guess—I test.

 

Testing for SIBO

To determine whether a patient is dealing with SIBO or another condition like IBS, I use the Hydrogen Breath Test (HBT):

  • A non-invasive test that measures hydrogen and methane levels in the breath
  • Conducted after ingesting a specific sugar solution
  • Requires a special prep diet for 2 days prior

The results clearly indicate whether SIBO is the root cause of the symptoms.

The Problem with Antibiotics

Conventional medicine often prescribes rifaximin, an antibiotic. But:

  • Antibiotics don’t discriminate—they kill good and bad bacteria alike.
  • SIBO recurrence is common after antibiotic treatment.

 

My approach?

  • A more conservative, natural path
  • Targeted herbal remedies proven by research to be just as effective—if not more so—than rifaximin

SIBO and Nutritional Deficiencies

Treating SIBO early is critical. Why?
 Because it can lead to malnutrition, due to poor absorption of:

  • Essential macronutrients
  • Key micronutrients

This can result in:

  • Fatigue
  • Brain fog
  • Neurological dysfunction

That’s why I test—not guess—using a comprehensive blood test to evaluate 31 vital nutrients.

The Role of Food in Healing SIBO

I firmly believe: food is the best medicine.

While popular diets like FODMAP and GAPS offer broad guidance, they aren’t personalized. No two people have identical nutritional needs.

My solution:

  • Design a personalized nutrition plan based on blood testing for hidden food allergies
  • This ensures my patients know exactly which foods won’t inflame their gut or worsen symptoms

The goal of my SIBO diet:

  • Eliminate hidden food allergies
  • Repair the gut lining
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Eradicate bacterial overgrowth
  • Flood the body with nutrient-rich, whole foods

Dr. Krystosik’s SIBO Protocol — Recap

  1. Test, don’t guess
    • Use the Hydrogen Breath Test to confirm diagnosis
  2. Identify and correct deficiencies
    • Run a 31-nutrient blood panel
  3. Personalize the diet
    • Use delayed food allergy testing
    • Eliminate reactive foods for 3 months
  4. Reintroduce strategically
    • After 90 days, reintroduce foods to reset and rebalance the gut
