Do we use prebiotics and probiotics in SIBO management?
Dr Jason Hawrelak, world-renowned gastrointestinal health researcher, educator, clinician, and gut microbiota expert (founder and head of research at Probiotic Advisor), joined us at the SIBO Summit to discuss this controversial topic.
Probiotics
- Are they effective
- Are they ineffective?
- Do they make SIBO worse?
In his talk, Dr Hawrelak highlights
- The Prebiotic & Probiotic Controversy – do we or don’t we use this therapy in SIBO treatment?
- Study analyses and exciting insights, such as there a 700% increase in SIBO risk for people taking Proton Pump Inhibitors.
- Strain-specific probiotic use and the potential for amelioration of SIBO symptoms.
- The range of probiotic actions, and how probiotics can help resolve SIBO. Â For (a very brief) example, some stimulate the MMC, help heal leaky gut, have selective antimicrobial action, decrease intestinal inflammation, reduce visceral hypersensitivity, and enhance secretory IgA production.
