As outlined in this article, SIBO treatment with antimicrobials alone is significantly less effective than when combined with dietary modifications before, during, and after antimicrobial therapy. Furthermore, without both dietary support and antimicrobial treatment, SIBO is more likely to recur.
The Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Package is designed for individuals diagnosed with SIBO, providing three stages of dietary support: before, during, and after treatment with antimicrobials.
Outline of the SIBO Package
The first phase of dietary treatment ideally occurs 4-6 weeks before starting to take the antimicrobials/antibiotics prescribed by a medical doctor or naturopath. For those who have already started on medication, it is not too late to start.
The second phase of dietary treatment occurs during the 4 weeks of taking antimicrobials.
The third phase of the SIBO Package is a gradual liberalization of the dietary recommendations, while continuing to avoid specific types of foods to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence of SIBO.
The Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Package is broken down into the following four separate, dated services:
1. Overview of a Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Diet: for an introduction to SIBO, the three phases of treatment, and an overview of the SIBO diet. Provides 2 multi-page handouts.
2. First Phase of Dietary Treatment: detailed instructions on what to eat and not to eat during the first phase of dietary treatment, which occurs 4-6 weeks before starting to take the antimicrobials/antibiotics. Provides 1 two-page handout.
3. Second Phase of Dietary Treatment: detailed instructions on what to eat and not to eat during the second phase of dietary treatment, which occurs during the 4 weeks of taking antimicrobials. Provides 1 two-page handout.
4. Third Phase of Dietary Treatment: teaching on the gradual liberalization of the diet after antimicrobial treatment has taken place, including foods to continue to limit to reduce the likelihood of a recurrence of SIBO. Provides a two-page handout.
