SIBO - Wenn der Darm in Aufruhr ist

Up to 11 million adults in Germany suffer from cramps, diarrhea, or constipation – the so-called irritable bowel syndrome is on the rise, especially among younger patients. What exactly lies behind the diverse symptoms is often unclear, and it is not uncommon for it to be a diagnosis of convenience, as the condition has many faces. Experts believe that more than half of all affected individuals suffer from small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), where bacteria from the large intestine settle higher up in the digestive tract and cause discomfort.

Phoebe Lapine is personally affected and here consolidates all her knowledge on the topic: She explains what exactly small intestinal bacterial overgrowth entails (and what it does not), which diseases often accompany it (such as Hashimoto's, celiac disease, among others), and how one can still live well with it through practical strategies and proactive planning.

In this practical guide to SIBO, she presents:

1. Basic knowledge about causes, symptoms, risk factors, and examinations
2. Conventional and holistic treatment methods to effectively eliminate misplaced bacteria
3. Various dietary alternatives from FODMAP to Paleo
4. 90 recipes whose ingredients can be individually adjusted to allergens and intolerances through clever combinations.

Becoming healthy and feeling good does not mean subjecting oneself to countless restrictions and diets. The author knows this from personal experience.
