This is a 2-part interview coming next week so stay tuned!Did you know that many people diagnosed with IBS actually have SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth)?SIBO is unfortunately a rather under-diagnosed condition impacting your gut that often leads people to struggle for very long periods (sometimes several years!) without a clear answer of what’s going on beyond just being told “you have IBS.”To be clear, digestive issues like bloating and diarrhea are not normal and can make you miserable. And being told that irritable bowel syndrome explains everything away isn’t really all that helpful especially if you experience severe bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and/or gas – all of which can wreck your life and create food fear (as you try to avoid whatever triggers an issue).While small intestine bacterial overgrowth is slowly but surely becoming more accepted amongst doctors, we’re still learning more about the different triggers of SIBO symptoms and how it can impact other body systems like your skin (especially for those dealing with rosacea).My friend and SIBO expert Dr. Ken Brown joins me today! He’s a board-certified gastroenterologist and has been in practice for over 15 years with a clinical focus on inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

And when people come to me, they're like, well, I'm told I have IBS. I'm like, IBS, in my mind, should be viewed as the warning sign. And the most common symptom is bloating. So what I tell my patients is the bloating you're experiencing, although you think it's normal, because it's been normalized either by you accepting it or a doctor saying, it's perfectly fine, you have to live with it, that's the warning sign that you have gut inflammation.”“The skin is the outward manifestation. The skin is another warning sign, including acne, eczema, rosacea, psoriasis. All of these things can actually start in the gut, and the skin is trying to say, hey, it's not right, something is wrong. And I do see a lot of people with skin issues. And I have treated a lot of people that have seen dermatologists, and we fix their gut and it gets better.”LinksFind Dr. Ken Brown Podcast | Instagram | TiktokGET ATRANTIL HERE!!TRY DR.
