In this video, I'll uncover all the symptoms that you must know about, associated with
small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Now, many people are suffering from gastrointestinal
conditions. That's why we discuss them so much on this channel because most people who
are suffering are not finding any true answers that are really going to help them reverse
the problems that they're facing. That's why, in this video, we're going to talk about small
intestinal bacterial overgrowth symptoms, SIBO symptoms.
I was one of these people. I was one of the people who suffered from SIBO, and nobody
could give me real answers. Nobody could give me anything worthwhile, in order to help me
reverse it. We're going to talk about, in this video,
the mechanism in which it occurs and then, of course, the symptoms associated with it.
At the end of this video, I'm going to give you some advice that's going to really help
set you up for success. Before we get started, I'm Dr. Zyrowski, and
welcome to the channel. If you're new to the channel, it's a pleasure to have you here.

Now, let's go ahead and first talk about what is SIBO. Okay? Let's start by looking at the
intestines. We have the small intestines, right here. Now, when we look at the small
intestines, this is where the majority of our food is going to be broken down and digested.
This is where our body's going to extract the nutrients and is really going to give
us life. Okay? This is where most of our food is being digested, right here.
Then we have the large intestines. When the food goes to the large intestines, basically,
it's been fully digested. There's just a little bit more further digestion that takes place
in the large intestine. A lot of water is extracted, at this point, from the food that
is left over. Then, of course, there is a lot of bacteria in the large intestines, as
well. Now, this bacteria is designed to stay in
the large intestines. Due to many different mechanisms, it can actually make its way over
into the small intestines and cause bacterial overgrowth issues that spiral out of control.
And it causes a lot of gastrointestinal distress. Now, the thing about this whole issue here
is a lot of people will ask me, "Well, how did this happen to me?" Right? If you have
SIBO or you have the symptoms of SIBO, which we'll discuss in a moment, people ask, "Well,
how did it happen?" Well, the truth is there's so many different
ways that it could happen. It's hard to actually pinpoint it. I can't pinpoint how it happened
to me, but it can happen in so many ways. It can be due to just your gastrointestinal
system having an imbalanced pH. It can be due to an immune system issue. It can be due
to the food that you're eating. It can be due to so many different issues that it's
really hard to pinpoint it down. The fact is, if you have it, you just have to work
on reversing it. And so, when we look at this issue, like I
said, it's a matter of the bacteria from large intestines getting into the small intestines
and just causing havoc. Okay? It can cause a lot of serious issues.
This is something I faced. Nobody could help me with it. The traditional way of helping
this issue is just doing rounds and rounds of antibiotics, which ends up in a further
dysfunctional immune system. It also ends up in relapse after relapse because it actually
kills not only the bad bacteria, but also the good bacteria. It just spirals out of
control from there. It doesn't really work for most of the people out there.
Let's go ahead and talk about the different symptoms associated with it. Because if we
can, first, identify it and then know what to do with this issue, then it's going to
be something that we're going to be able to reverse properly.
First of all, chronic bloating and distension. Okay? Like I said, I've had this. I can describe
every one of these symptoms because I had all of them. And so, this is basically that,
every time you eat a meal, you just become extremely bloated. You're someone who is pretty
thin, but you look pretty thick because you're bloated all the time. And so, this happens
after meals. For me, it would happen at night a lot, too.
I would have this problem where I'd, literally, wake up at night with a whole bunch of gastrointestinal
discomfort and distress. Even in the morning, I'd feel like a balloon. So, this happens,
and it just happens chronically. It's just, like, every couple of days. You're going to
have it worse than others, but for the most part, it's always happening.
Irritable bowel syndrome, so this is, basically, where you're going to go through bouts of
chronic constipation and chronic diarrhea. There's really no normalcy there. And so,
that's something that is associated with it. Gas and burping is also something associated
with it. With all that bacteria in there, you're getting a lot of fermenting of your
food, so there's going to be a lot more gas. There's also going to be an issue with burping,
just because of the fact that the pH is off within the gut. And so, this is something
that comes up quite a bit. Also, acid reflux is another issue here. This
is associated with the pH in the gut, as well, and as a result of that, the stomach just
doesn't function properly. Valves don't close properly, like they should, and acid's getting
into the wrong places. And so, there's an issue with that.
Also, food sensitivities is a big one. Now, many people who have this will find that they'll
just start reacting to all kinds of new foods, all the time. And so, one day, they go to
have their favorite meal, something they really enjoy, and then, it's just it sends them spiraling
out of control, running to the bathroom. This could be something as healthy as fruit.
It could be something like eggs. It could be something that, like I said, you normally
would enjoy without a problem. You're just constantly finding new foods actually cause,
like, these irritable bowel syndrome symptoms. Next, here, is nutritional deficiencies. This
is also a major problem with it. The reason for it is because, when you have all that
bacteria in the small intestines... Remember, I said this is where your food is mostly digested.
All that bacteria in there actually starts eating up the nutrients. Okay? You are not
actually being able to digest the nutrients in and absorb them because they're being taken
from you. You end up with a big, severe nutritional deficiency.
Almost anybody I've worked with, who has had SIBO, also has had some nutritional deficiencies
associated with it. Specifically in the area of fat-soluble vitamins, as well, because
it's actually causing dysfunction in the way that your gallbladder is working and the way
that you're absorbing these fat-soluble vitamins. And so, nutritional deficiencies is typically
always associated with it. That's something we have to look out for. Like I said, the
bacteria within the small intestines is actually going and just eating up all those nutrients,
and you're not getting them. Then, the next is damage to the intestinal
lining. Okay? Most people who have SIBO, they don't just have an overgrowth issue. They
have a problem with chronic inflammation within the gastrointestinal tract. They have leaky
gut. They have ulcerative colitis. They have Crohn's. I mean, they typically have some
other issues occurring, as well. And so, when we look at SIBO, it's a complicated
thing that's difficult to reverse. And so, that's why, if you just go the traditional
route and they just give you rounds and rounds of antibiotics, you typically never find any
type of solution with that. Now, if you go to the natural route, you're typically going
to find a lot of people just doing little pieces, here and there, but really never giving
you the whole picture. For instance, I had a patient, one time, and
they just kept giving her enzymes, and lots of enzymes. Though it gave her relief, it
never actually fixed the issue. It just, basically, made some of the symptoms subside for years
on end. And so, there's a couple things that we need
to do. First of all, I'm going to put lots of resources out here. I'm going to give you
a video. Check out another video I did on this very topic, right here. The other thing
I will do is, in the description below, I'll give you a food list because there's foods
you must avoid, if you have SIBO. The other thing I will do is give you some
other resources, as well. Like I said, because I've actually suffered from this issue, I
have chosen particular supplements that work very well with this issue. I've also put together
an educational program on this issue, in order to help you reverse it.
Now, I can tell you that many people are finding that, with these resources that I utilized,
in order to reverse my SIBO, they are finding great success in theirs, too. I've had people
who have said, "I've been suffering from this for 5 years," "10 years." It was only until
I found this," that they were actually able to go and help reverse this issue.
Check out all these amazing resources that are going to be in the description, here,
below. Give this video a thumbs up. Also, share it with your friends. A lot of people
suffer from this issue, and there's no answers out there.
