\"\"SIBO, your Gut and all those Lyme Symptoms!<\/p>\n

Lyme disease is often referred to as the \u201cGreat Imitator\u201d\u00a0and can mimic the symptoms of Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, MS, ALS, Parkinson\u2019s and Alzheimer\u2019s, as well as more than some 350 other diseases. Lyme disease is not the only \u201cimitator\u201d in medicine.\u00a0Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Syndrome (SIBO) may be an underlying culprit to many or all your\u00a0lingering\u00a0symptoms.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
SIBO is a condition where bacteria that normally live\u00a0in your large intestines\u00a0take up residence in the small intestines. The metabolic byproducts of\u00a0SIBO activity\u00a0change bowel movements lead to\u00a0diarrhea and\/or\u00a0constipation. SIBO may also cause\u00a0pain locally in the intestines and throughout the body\u2019s muscles and joints. I have also seen it be a driving force behind lower back pains, inguinal pains, migraines, and as a major contributing factor towards menstrual issues;\u00a0often causing poor liver conjugation of hormones leading to PMS, PCOS, and\u00a0fibroids.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Whether you had SIBO before you got Lyme disease or developed SIBO during Lyme treatments, for many people struggling to rebound from Lyme disease the best place to look towards is within. That is within your small intestines. \u00a0\u00a0SIBO is easily tested through a breath test you can do in the convince of your own home. It is a conventional diagnosis, that often does not get diagnosed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Kirschling will provide an overview of SIBO, how to test for it, common treatment approaches, and how its presence confuses the treatment picture in persistent Lyme disease.<\/div>\n
