@@ferlem.8998 I have found my reason. I was histamine intolerant. Old meat caused me bloating. You have to do some elimination diet to see what causes the bloating. Life without bloating is amazing!!!
I sometimes am less bloated if I do a 48 hour fast. I get tired of my dad saying I should lose weight. I am only like 170 pounds and 5'8. It's my damn bloating.
Very infiormative and the first video I have seen to date explaining symtomatic differences between methane and hydrogen dominant SIBO. As always I am amazed by helpful doctors are online and how little that is reflected with doctors in surgeries who have no time to give this kind of advice and are frankly not much interested in what they consider to be minor illnesses. One docto actually rsaid to me straight "stomach disorder? most of my patients have more serious things to be worried about you know, like cancer." I still think that most people who talk about health are hugely over optimistic about the level of health care around the world. I have suffered from stomach disorders for over 30 years now the last 20 years of my life has been mroe or les spersistent watery stool or outright diorrhea and no doctor health practitioner or dietician I have gone to see has really helped or even been very interested. Practically all the improvement I have experienced has been the last 15 years thanks to what I have learned from the internet. It began 15 years ago with a Doctor Mercola talking about gluten. At the time I had not even heard of gluten.
Thank you! I have low methane, high hydrogen, BUT my motility is super slow. I take the artichoke and ginger extracts and move daily but am still very delayed. Why are my symptoms more in line with methane despite the testing showing the opposite?
When i still was undiagnosed, something that helped was ginger, anything bitter like wormwood tea, artemisia and ip6, also ibuprofen and fasting, no food for 24 hours. After having diarrhoea, gas and bloating for 2 years, now i have gastro paresis and more constipation and vomiting and lots of pain after eating because the stomach doesnt work properly anymore.
Hi Byron. Great video, I just subsribed to the channel. I think I have PI-IBS (D) after a course of antibiotics. Things did not improve even after taking normal broad specru probiotis and now I think I have Hydrogen SIBO (mild). I do not have man classic symptoms yet, but the occasional loose stool along with delayed apetite are two issues that is persistant. Do you think the herbal tannins route is better for me to take or should I go down the alkaloid path directly? I should mention that the only probiotic capsule I take is S.Boulardii (Florastor)
I love what you do so much, each video brings so much knowledge and insights, any chance we could get insights from you regarding H2S overgrowth or in general what to do with patients who just can't tolerate sulfur and thiols since they get really symptomatic from those?
yes! Lots here to unpack. This is a relatively common presentation and it can get complicated quickly. Do you prefer quick overviews or long deep dives into subjects?
@@ByronHerbalist Personally as deep as possible with as much info/tips would be so appreciated, anything like diet and the debate on thiols vs sulfur for driving symptoms and which to avoid of the 2, approaches, supplements, anything really, it is so so hard to balance this, so yeah your take on it would be invaluable.
BIG question, please: my wife suffers because of bloating, life is miserable. She does not get diarrhea that bad. in the morning her stomach gets flat like nothing happened, and in the evening disastrous bloating again. The very worst is when the weather is humid ( we moved out of Florida for that reason). She removed her ovary and uterus because of the suffering thinking she has OHSS, and bloating is a sign of it, the doctor want to help my wife and finally agreed on surgery, she did it last month. The problem is still there; messed up situation. Why humid weather makes it worse? please.
I'm have the same issue!I'm glade I started doing my own research on this!Every 3 -6 month I have an pancreatitis flare up!I wake most mourning fine or with a flat belly !If it's hot around 90 degrees, as soon as I eat something ,ten minutes later I'm in the bathroom in pain and it loose stool!This has been going on for 5 -7 years and I got fed up an called my doctor for more test!Thank you for this info and channel!So I just drink fluids while it hot but once the sun goes down I eat light foods !This video gave me hope!I'm also vegan!
I had an infection they gave me metronidazole but if it happens again I'm going to have the check for hepatitis b and c!I'm glade she is feeling and doing well!I'm a man lol I doubt it's the ovary!
Another great video thank you. Can you please also do a video on herbs for hydrogen sulfide sibo? Could you also please tell us if pomegranate husk/peel capsules would be effective because most countries do not sell the tincture? Also is a thyme leaf tincture worth considering if your not able to get a oregano leaf tincture in your country? Thank you
love the feedback! I will add H2S to the list. Pomegranate peel is fantastic for most. There are caveats and it can cause constipation in some but is generally well tolerated. Thyme is a great substitute for oregano most times too.
So funny! My patients tell me the same thing, and my wife says my herbals taste like feet! 😂 Welp we aren't here to enoy it, it will help! I love you, in my practice I use different herbs and indivual therapies. I love natural healing because so many different ways of healing naturally. 🙏 I love watching my patients heal from SIBO. I would love to have a conversation with you.
Would juicing pomegranate mixed with other fruits/veggies and ginger be at least somewhat effective? 8 yr old dtr had dual + SIBO but is thankfully far along in her healing and recovery - just see signs with some foods that signal we still have some work to do on the dysbiosis.
Hi Bryon, I got high hydrogen levels on breath test but with severe constipation not diarrhea and always bloated and gassy, do you know what does that mean please?
This is an unusual presentation but still happens. I would recommend a patient presenting like this to actively treat the overgrowth and keep other possible root causes (fungal?) in mind too!
Hi Bryan u seem to have a good understanding of dealing with bugs I had bad buds in the pass anf a old man herbalist in Central America help me I wish at the time I had learn the herbal from him
Where in Central America is this old man? I live in near there, in Mexico, and am looking for a knowledgeable gut health herbalist/practitioner. Thanks!
Would it be a good idea to use a binder before introducing a herb into the gut to induce killing of pathogens to bind up the debris or is this necessary?
Binders can be helpful as an optional addition. I don't start with them to avoid complications and expense but have been turning to them more and more when needed. I've got a mycotoxin binder video in the works. should be up within a month or so!
what could you suggest for someone sensitive to many foods high in polyphenols? a lot of them are irritants for my eczema, possibly because of salicylates? having some success with water kefir, but had to switch to the few low salicylate herbs and fruits for the F2 ferment. I hate missing the benefits from all of these high polyphenol foods. for example I love clove! but it causes flair ups.
If phenols and salicylates are an issue I would explore sulphur detox issues and your PST enzyme. There is a bit in this one near the end th-cam.com/video/kbdVl7W7I0w/w-d-xo.html. I hope it helps!

Thanks for sharing- for the pomegranate, is juice or powder okay, or is there a more specific supplement from the husk that works better?
juice has similar properties but is far weaker.
I woke up bloated I go to sleepy bloated
me too. Plus waking up in the night needing to pee because of this heavily swollen stomach 👌

Thanks for the input! I'm on the case :-)
Sir is it true that e.coli is the most likely strain if we suffer from hydrogen SIBO??
Can you expand more on what you mean with the mixing of herbs with polyphenols? Which ones are you not supposed to mix?
Thanks so much...Suffering for years with it.
Sorry to hear that! It can be tricky to resolve in some

Slow motility can be a major root cause for hydrogen SIBO too. If you’ve had food poisoning before that may have been the root cause!
When i still was undiagnosed, something that helped was ginger, anything bitter like wormwood tea, artemisia and ip6, also ibuprofen and fasting, no food for 24 hours. After having diarrhoea, gas and bloating for 2 years, now i have gastro paresis and more constipation and vomiting and lots of pain after eating because the stomach doesnt work properly anymore.
Can you explain about the ibuprofen? How often did you take it?
When you say Pomegranate Husk, is it just the peel? We dont use the inside?

Lol feet! Valerian maybe? Glad the channels helpful 😊
Yeah, so the wife knows what feet taste like ha, gross😂.
Would Oregano tea work?
You can but I'll bet you only try it once lol better to take powder capsules or gelatin as very strong
lol
@@ByronHerbalist I mixed 20 drops oregano oil with olive oil in a small dropper bottle to use under the tongue and she kicks
I am only taking ACV and it's stable now. Should I go for antibiotics treatment?
How can I communicate with you? I have IBS for last 2.5 years. Age 24. I'm from Bangladesh.
when you speak about oils, you meen essential oils or plants in meceration in olive oils ?
Would juicing pomegranate mixed with other fruits/veggies and ginger be at least somewhat effective? 8 yr old dtr had dual + SIBO but is thankfully far along in her healing and recovery - just see signs with some foods that signal we still have some work to do on the dysbiosis.
Thank you! What do you think of when bloating only comes when hungry and alleviated by eating?
Hmmm that is unusual. I would be looking for low stomach acid signs first. Have you worked with HCL before?
Sounds more like Candida
Do you Need to follow a Special Diet while treating the overgrowth?
lower FODMAP can really help. I have a 'fodmap' light template and we get stricter if needed.
@@ByronHerbalist How about Biphasic diet? I have heard that that is even more efficient. Then we have the elemental diet as well.
If you are hydrogen dominant for SIBO but do not have loose bowels, would pomegranate husk still be indicated?
yes but it can be constipating for some at higher doses
@@ByronHerbalist What’s a good dose to start with, in this case?
Thank you for your videos what do you think about black garlic or grapefruit extract?
how to use pomegranate husk?
can we use oregano oil in water?
Hi Bryon, I got high hydrogen levels on breath test but with severe constipation not diarrhea and always bloated and gassy, do you know what does that mean please?

Is pomegranate husk the same as pomegranate peel?
yup :-)

how to use clove ?

Can the alcohol component of the tincture affect the liver? Is the glycerine base as effective as the alcohol base? Thank you!
Glycetracts are far less potent but might be useful for patients that can’t tolerate alcohol

I tested positive for both 👎🏻
Is there even a big difference between oregano leaf and oregano oil? cant it be enough with oregano oil?
Yes, the oil is more powerful
Would it be a good idea to use a binder before introducing a herb into the gut to induce killing of pathogens to bind up the debris or is this necessary?
Binders can be helpful as an optional addition. I don't start with them to avoid complications and expense but have been turning to them more and more when needed. I've got a mycotoxin binder video in the works. should be up within a month or so!
can we use oregano oil in water for sibo?
Yes, but read how many drops. 3 drops are okay.
Can I use organic dried oregano leaves?
I've seen that to be helpful for some :-)
Which works best for klebsiella?
pomegranate, thyme, myrrh, oregano and even uva ursi can help some of my patients here.
