If you, or someone you know, has been diagnosed with IBS, you know it can be frustrating because it is seemingly "untreatable" and symptom management is the only option. These patients need to know about SIBO, and that it is the #1 root cause behind the majority of IBS cases. Using a customized approach of pharmaceutical and natural medications, SIBO and the reason behind why patients end up with the overgrowth in the first place, can both be targeted. I have seen case after... case of IBS completely disappear. Beyond IBS, SIBO has also been scientifically proven, through research, to be correlated with conditions such rosacea, interstitial cystitis, fatty liver, iron and B12 deficiency anemia, and specific autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis, to name just a few. If you would like more information about the SIBO-IBS connection, please read the blog below from our SIBO Doctors website. If you suspect you may have SIBO or have been diagnosed with IBS, please do not hesitate to be assessed and treated by a SIBO Doctor. There is availability in both Vancouver and Abbotsford. If you are in Vancouver, please feel free to book an appointment at Twist Performance and Wellness (Olympic Village) at 604-428-9478. If you are in Abbotsford, or the surrounding areas, please feel free to book an appointment with me at Red Cedar Health at 604-746-3140. http://www.sibodoctors.ca/blog/2016/9/16/sibo-ibs-connection

I never thought I would be free of IBS. My digestion hasn’t felt this good in years! This was not the first time I heard a statement like this from a patient with digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, and irregular bowel movements. I tested and diagnosed them with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth - the #1 root cause of IBS. Most patients have dramatic improvements in their symptoms very quickly. Once feeling better, the focus of treatment shifts to the why they ...ended up with SIBO in the first place. By addressing each individual patients root cause, I work to ensure that SIBO doesn’t come back. If you or someone you know has been suffering with IBS and wants to be properly evaluated for SIBO, please have them call Red Cedar Health Naturopathic Clinic in Abbotsford at 604-746-3140 to set up an appointment.

Two of the most common conditions I see and treat in practice are Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (mTBI) - also known as concussions. The two are very strongly connected and SIBO almost always occurs following a head injury. Whether you have hit your head during a bad fall, a sporting event, or even have been involved in a car accident, the connection between the gut and the brain is undeniable. If you have ever had an mTBI and... noticed digestive complaints thereafter, SIBO Testing is absolutely necessary!
