Mindsip insights from this episode:
Prioritize lifestyle changes to reduce IBS risk
An unfavorable lifestyle is associated with a 56% higher risk for irritable bowel syndrome, a far greater impact than the 12% higher risk from genetics.
Utilize Atrantil to treat methane-dominant SIBO and constipation
A specific herbal formula called Atrantil is designed to treat methane-dominant SIBO, which is often associated with constipation.
Limit foods identified by sensitivity tests to alleviate IBS symptoms
A study in the journal Gut found that limiting foods identified through a delayed food allergy test (IgG) dramatically improved IBS symptoms.
Implement 5R program to restore gut health
A comprehensive approach to fixing gut issues involves a 5-step program: Remove, Replace, Re-inoculate, Repair, and Restore.
Utilize Trio-Smart breath test to diagnose SIBO effectively
The Trio-Smart breath test can diagnose SIBO by measuring three different gases—methane, hydrogen, and hydrogen sulfide—which are linked to different symptoms.
Address low stomach acid to prevent SIBO overgrowth
Low stomach acid, often caused by aging, stress, or acid-blocking drugs, can change the gut's pH and lead to an overgrowth of bacteria and fungus.
Utilize tryptophan to enhance intestinal motility for IBS relief
Tryptophan, the precursor to serotonin, can improve constipation-dominant IBS by increasing intestinal motility and transit time.
