  • SIBO and Histamine Intolerance

    Presenter: Heidi Turner, MS, RDN
    Original Date: March 16, 2019

    Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth can create an inflammatory state in the gut that reduces the ability to digest dietary histamines. For those with histamine intolerance, this can trigger more inflammation both in the gut and systemically, leading to a variety of histamine-mediated symptoms. In this presentation we will discuss how histamine dysregulation and intolerance in those with SIBO is assessed and managed in this highly sensitive population.

  • My SIBO Journey

    Presenter: Rebecca Coomes
    Original Date: March 17, 2019

    In continuing the discussion of the principle of treating underlying causes of SIBO rather than simply focusing therapy on reduction of bacterial overgrowth, we cannot overlook the thyroid gland’s role in motility. Evidence has emerged for thyroid disorders as one of SIBO’s etiologies. This presentation explores SIBO’s intersections with dysthyroidsm, and points to implications in developing effective treatment plans and strategies for prevention of recurrence.
    The presentation will include a brief overview of thyroid prescribing, both clinically and sub-clinically, including use of Levothyroxin, Tri-iodothyronine, dessicated Thyroid USP, and compound prescribing.

    Presenter: Lela Altman, ND, MSA, LAc
    Original Date: March 17, 2019

    An elemental diet is a meal replacement plan that uses a mixture of all essential and nonessential amino acids, fat, simple sugars, electrolytes, trace minerals and vitamins. Components of this mixture are already in their simplest forms so they can be easily assimilated. This presentation will introduce elemental diets and provide information on how and when to use an elemental diet clinically for various gastrointestinal conditions, but primarily for SIBO. This presentation will include a discussion on indications and contraindications, as well as how to transition off of an elemental diet.
