Description

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a relatively new and poorly characterised testing outcome. Yet it also appears to be fairly common and is considered a frequent contributor to IBS, which is the most widespread gastrointestinal condition seen in clinical practice.

This 3-part webinar series, presented by Dr Jason Hawrelak, discusses many of the controversies in the diagnosis and intervention of SIBO, as well as update you on recent research in this area.

– Is the Lactulose Breath Test really the most accurate breath test for diagnosing SIBO? Can other breath tests provide accurate testing data?
– Is a strict diet necessary as a keystone of intervention?
– Are probiotics really contraindicated in the management of SIBO?
– Do prebiotics have any role to play in its intervention?
– What are effective herbal approaches in the management of the three main SIBO varieties – hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulphide?
– How can we protect the colonic microbiome from damage, whilst still effectively eradicating SIBO?

These topics, and many more, will be covered over the course of this webinar series.

By the end of this course, you will have a refreshed understanding of SIBO and the practical applications of testing and therapeutic strategies from one of the leaders in this field.

The webinars are pre-recorded and available to watch at a time that suits you.
