Thanks for watching! Which IBS symptoms are you hoping to improve with probiotics? Tell me in the comments!
@@Lila-he3ts Hi Lila! Nice to meet you :) Probiotics can make histamine and methane symptoms worse is some but not all cases. You can try them, but test with care and be mindful of the feedback your body is giving you :)
Interesting. I didn’t know the three types of probiotics and that taking them all together might be beneficial. I take Naturelo’s 50 Billion probiotic and it helps a lot. My doctor recommended Corebiotic which is a SBO probiotic. It didn’t work on its own, but maybe I could add it in now. Also, none of the probiotics have helped with my diarrhea enough to stop it completely, so I have been considering S. Boulardii, but was concerned about taking too many Probiotics. Now I will try adding that in too. Thank you for clarity on this!
Great video. I would like to recommend two probiotics that anyone can easily find at stores like Target or Walmart. Culterelle and Align. Both of these probiotics have the strains that you suggested. Culterelle has Lactobacillus and Align has Bifidobacterium.
Thank you, I was diagnosed with Sibo methane
HI Roman, thanks for suggesting this, they are definitely more widely available than some other probiotics. They may be worth trialing for some people. However, I wouldn't recommend for everyone...both companies have several different products, but for one thing, they are single strains of probiotics, but what I'm suggesting here is that a blend or variety is the intention. Also, some of Culturelle's IBS-focused products contain PREbiotics, which may be aggravating for some, so be aware of that if you choose to buy these. And finally, Align's digestive support probiotics have a dairy-based ingredient in them, sodium caseinate, which wouldn't be suitable for someone who is sensitive to dairy. Ultimately, always read your ingredient labels, and choose products wisely....but also don't be afraid to substitute options if you feel they will work for you. The same rules about introducing them apply: start low, go slow, and see how your gut and body respond :) Thanks so much for watching!
@@rafaelthemotivator You're welcome :) Are you treating your SIBO?
@@ConfluenceNutrition im trying to get my constipation under control. I just ordered sunfiber to see if it helps me. I'm already on a no sugar, no gluten, no carb, no grains diet. My constipation is the main problem. I was getting the Die offs and my constipation makes it worst. I wish had the diarrhea sibo to atleast push the bacteria out. My sibo is the methane complicated one. I think you talked about it. 😭🙏
@@rafaelthemotivator Hi Rafael! Yes, methane is difficult to get rid of, it was my problem! I had very high methane when I first tested for SIBO. It sounds like you're feeling overwhelmed with everything...if and when you're ready for a partner to help you navigate everything, I'd love to meet with you and see if my calm digestion method program would be right for you, because these are exactly the kind of issues I help my clients with. ❤
Thank you for the informative video, as I was confused why the doctor asked me to avoid probiotics after taking the antibiotic for treating SIBO, unfortunately took 2 courses of antibiotic, and I still have SIBO! trying to look for more natural remedies in addition to the low FODMAP diet that I am trying to follow, but found that different people give different list of what is allowed and what is not.
Hi Katia, I'm glad you found the video helpful...yes, probiotics help some but not others, so need to be used with care for SIBO. The FODMAP diet lists do indeed vary, but the main point is to try and figure out which categories of FODMAPS are most bothersome for YOU, so that variability doesn't exactly matter. The list is a guide to help you get there. If you need help navigating this, this is exactly the kind of thing I help my clients with.
Me too. I ended up wirh histamine intolerance. It has been horrible doing a low hist diet and taking low hist probiotic. I have sibo and this has wreaked havoc on me. No more antibiotics for me for a while.
@@LovingTheCountryLife-fp2ef It's quite common among us IBS and SIBO patients...thanks for sharing your experience, and I'm sorry you're having a tough time. Thanks so much for watching!
of all the people you say you help, how many have reoccurring symptoms ?
for the people that took probiotics for SIBO and had success, which probiotics did they take , what dosage, and how much time before they started to notice an improvement and did they temporarily have some side effects?
documenting this would really help out, if you haven’t already.
I apologize for the long delay, TH-cam hid your comment from me! I'd say it's about 60% need to do ongoing maintenance practices, and 40% are "cured" or are better without needing to do much.
I much more commonly see people have side effects from probiotics, but for the ones that do well, they tend to use a combo that works best for them at a dosage that works for them. I'm sorry to say it's not consistent between people.
Usually if they're going to see positive effects, they;ve noticed a positive change within a week or two, and plateau by about 4 weeks. For most people, if they have side effects, they'll quit before "breaking through".
I hope that helps.
@@ConfluenceNutrition : that does help and i appreciate you’re genuine, and informative response.
what kind of side effects are you taking about ?
i believe probiotics can make a real positive difference with my conditions but i’m not so sure that they brought them in in the first place. i’ll explain and make it quick….i was taking probiotics with a prebiotic when i fought an h. pylori infection.
nasty nasty symptoms i wouldn’t wish on an enemy. a brutal case of gastritis was the result. five years later and still not right.
what my fear is that there could be bad bugs in some of those probiotic capsules.
what are you’re thoughts on this ?
i’m seriously considering Xifaxan, instead of a probiotic, and kill the bacteria in my small intestines rather than overpopulating what’s already overpopulated.
it’s a rather desperate situation.
“sick of being sick”
a tele-visit with you might help remove the fear i have.
@@ginoasci2876 Hi Gino, side effects from probiotics typically include increased bloating, bowel changes (diarrrhea or constipation), and sometimes an increase in itching, brain fog, etc (histamine symptoms). If you're using reputable brands I wouldn't worry about bad bugs in the capsules, but there may be bugs that don't blend well with your unique ecology.
Rifaxamin can be a game changer, IF SIBO really is your problem, and taking it can help you assess whether it really IS the problem.
If you're interested in potentially working together, I recommend you start with watching this free masterclass, where I share the method I use to work with clients. Then if it feels like a good fit, there are instructions from that to reach out to me.

Which probiotic is good for methane based SIBO
Hi Melody, there is no one single probiotic or even type of probiotic that's good for methane SIBO. There is the principle of repopulating the microbiome with good bacteria, and as I mention in the video, the strategy is to work to bring the three main types into your body, as tolerated. You might find you only tolerate one type, two, or all three. The right probiotics for your methane SIBO are the probiotics your body is willing to accept :) Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thank you
@@LAcowgirl any update?
Thank you Amanda! The link to Dr. Ruscio's products doesn't work.
Arg, thank you for letting me know, Kiki, I will fix those shortly!!!!
Hi Kiki, I've fixed them and tested them, they are working!!
Hello, due to a chronic illness, I took three types of antibiotics for a year, and my intestines and stomach became very bad afterwards. They constantly produce gas and acid, and I still get anxious after consuming vegetables and fruits. The doctor told me that I have dysbiosis and SIBO. I don't know if I should take probiotics or not. On one hand, they are good for my intestines, but on the other hand, they are harmful for SIBO. Please help me !
Did you ever try the Probiotics?
@@lavarmaben1951
Yes, I have taken probiotics, but in small amounts because my nutritionist thinks I have SIBO. Additionally, I have an imbalance of bacteria in my large intestine, with more bad bacteria present. This is because when I consume meat, rice, and wheat, my stomach is fine, but fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and legumes upset my stomach
I have had IBS issues for a few years now and recently was diagnosed with alpha-Gal syndrome. How do probiotics affect alpha-Gal?
Hmmm, that is a really interesting question, and I'm not sure of the answer! I know that the alpha-Gal syndrome can cause some severe reactivity to certain foods...theoretically, I would guess that probiotics may help improve your resiliency to attacks, but everyone is different, and for some they may aggravate, just like any other person or condition. Thanks for your question, and thanks for watching!
Do I need to address SIFO and SIBO prior to probiotics? my microbiome is depleted of lactobacillus probably because I’m dairy intolerant so have been avoiding. 🤔
Hi Angela, this really depends. Some people do well with probiotics before and during, and some do not. In the absence of any clear answer to this question, the gold standard is to see how it feels to use probiotics. If they don't feel right, you'll know quickly, and can stop and move on with your treatment options.
And in my opinion, SIFO is generally addressed after SIBO, as the SIBO treatment generally leaves fungus more dominant. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!
I do have loose stools now and then and I do suffer from travelers loose stools. I am taking pro biotics, almost daily to see if that helps. I use Digestive Advantage gummies which contains bacillus coaglans, and GBI-30, 6086 . I use the gummies because i have a hiatal hernia. Am I doing the right thing? Do I need more of this. I also take a cleansing enema and a coffee enema every 10 days.I do not have IBS or SIBO
Hi John, you're certainly on the right track. but it might be worth trialing the other two types as well. That would be the lactobacillus-bifidobacteria, and the saccharomyces boulardii. And you are avoiding capsules because of the hiatal hernia?
Man, you seem so smart, I thought I found my functional doctor. But, you don't work with people with my issues. :( Are there any good functional doctors you know of that help with things like reflux/GERD, long covid, insomnia, anxiety/nervous system damage?
I wish I had a solid referral for you with these complex issues, but I don't have a great one. I'm sorry :(
My constipation is bad. I need a brand of probiotics to start
Hi Rafael, there’s not a specific brand I recommend for constipation, but my favorites are included in this protocol… us.fullscript.com/protocols/confluencenutrition-probiotics
So just got my test results for sibo tested positive just started veriazine for ibs-d I know im lactose intolerance....so constantipation isn't the problem chronic diarrhea usually...im waiting on my insurance to clear the medication for the sibo part...what would be a good probiotic for me then
Hi David, the answers is, likely none! Many people with SIBO find they do worse on probiotics. That said, if you'd like to trial probitoics to see if you do ok with them, I suggest using this video as a guideline for my suggestions: th-cam.com/video/DBFCiFbG-3Y/w-d-xo.html
Thank you I'll definitely avoid it...im still waiting on insurance to approve medicine for sibo
@@davidkeevil5151 Good luck with that, may that clearance come through quickly!
@Confluence Nutrition thank you it went through unfortunately walmart won't have it till next week so hopefully 9 years of dealing with this will end or at least allievate some
@@davidkeevil5151 Yes, I hope so, David! Make sure to check out my videos about how to prevent recurrence, or how to determine if more than one round of treatment is necessary.
🎉
What do you think of Sunfiber?
You are awesome*
Hi Mary, thank you for your kind compliment :) Sun Fiber is my preferred fiber to recommend if my clients need more fiber, and are having trouble getting enough in their daily food. It's also documented to help improve the likelihood of SIBO treatment success. I used it during my first round, and didn't feel like it was helpful during my 2nd and 3rd round. Everyone is different, even from month to month! Ultimately, listen to your body for feedback about wha to do :) Thanks for watching!
Constipation and bloating...and acid reflux
Thanks for sharing, have you gotten started with probiotics yet?
@@ConfluenceNutrition I'm taking antibiotics right now for a bad ear infection. I get acid reflux and I think it irritates my throat and causes inflammation..so things don't drain well along my ear. It has been a nightmare. Two consecutive ear infections. My ear was so plugged with wx. I've seen better days... But I know this will come to an end.
@@elhpasu I hope things clear up for you...check out my reflux video, it has some useful suggestions that may help: th-cam.com/video/80JudNO2V4A/w-d-xo.html
