Go With Your GUT

Most of us know that our gastrointestinal tract is a long tube that stretches from our mouth to our anus and is responsible for taking in food, digesting it, extracting and absorbing nutrients and energy while excreting waste. It’s that simple. But in recent years, scientists have discovered that the GI system along the bacteria, fungi and arachaea which comprise our gut microbiota play a major role in our overall health 1. Our gut plays a critical role in immunity, inflammation, detoxification and cognitive function which has nothing to do with digestion. An imbalance in the microbiome has now been associated with pain, headaches and fatigue to the development of diseases and medical conditions such as allergies, diabetes, alzheimer’s disease, IBS, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, anxiety, psoriasis and eczema 2-5. Some 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men report some
degree of sexual dysfunction.

Interesting FACT

Our brains are connected to our guts through bidirectional signaling networks which consists of the gut microbiota and the central nervous system, neuroendocrine and neuroimmune systems, sympathetic and parasympathetic arms of the autonomic nervous system including the enteric nervous system and vagus nerve. Through this communication network, the brain affects gut movement, sensory and secretion function while the visceral signals from the gut can also affect brain function 6.

Tip: An important part of gut health is boosting your gut microbiome which will lower your risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, colitis and arthritis.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

Have your ever experienced constipation, diarrhea or been bloated with gas and did everything from restricting foods you thought were causing the gas, taken probiotics to stop the gas, taken fibre, laxatives to anti-diarrheal medications and been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and nothing it working. It may that that they symptoms you are experiencing are due to an underlying gut imbalance called SIBO. Studies have shown that up to 70% of patients diagnosed with IBS in fact have SIBO 7,8.

SIBO is characterized by the abnormally high counts of multiple organisms in the small intestine. Common species associated with SIBO include streptococci, Bacteroides, Escherichia and Lactobacillus 9. Inflammation is caused by invasive strains of bacteria 10. Facultative anaerobes can injure the intestinal surface by direct adherence and production of enterotoxins. Aerobic bacteria produce enzymes and metabolic products that can induce epithelial cell injury 11.

SIBO can cause a host of problems in the intestine due to enterocyte damage resulting malabsorption of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and vitamins to production of toxins to altered small bowel motility 12-17.

Treatment of SIBO generally involves a course of antibiotics and dietary restrictions. Patients who suffer from recurrent symptoms after a course of antibiotic therapy may be considered for a promotility drug and/or further evaluated for an alternative diagnosis.
