Today we are answering the following question from a listener: “I have finished my kill phase for treated diagnosed SIBO with Lauricidin, NAC, and low dose Naltrexone and I’m now in the rebuild phase. Should I be taking probiotics and prebiotics Prescript-Assist, or just probiotics? I have rosacea on my face and both seem to be making it worse. Is that from the histamine or FODMAPS? I’m following a low FODMAP and Specific Carbohydrate Diet, but I’m slowly adding more carbs in. What do you recommend for this gut healing stage? Thanks.” After finishing a SIBO treatment protocol, it's tempting to expect your gut to be completely back to normal. But there’s more to healing from SIBO than antimicrobial treatment. The time period after treatment is crucial for healing from the effects of SIBO. Tune in today for an important discussion about the gut healing stage after SIBO treatment. We discuss why time is a significant factor in gut healing, recommend helpful supplements, and explain why symptoms can still be present when trying to reintroduce foods and repopulate the gut with good bacteria. Whether you are currently dealing with SIBO or have already nipped it in the bud, you won’t want to miss today’s podcast! Here's what Laura and Kelsey will be discussing in this episode: The relationship between skin conditions and gut bacteria imbalance The importance of retesting for SIBO after treatment if you still have symptoms Recommendations for prebiotic supplements Why it’s a good idea to take a prebiotic during the treatment phase for SIBO as well as in the gut healing phase How probiotics have more of an effect on the immune system than the gut bacteria What to do if probiotics and/or prebiotics are causing symptoms The strains of probiotics we recommended for those sensitive to probiotic supplementation The importance of giving your gut time to heal to see improvement after SIBO treatment Supplement recommendations for the gut healing phase after successful SIBO treatment SIBO treatment and healing is a very individualized process Experimentation is key when in the gut healing phase The significant role stress management plays in gut healing Links Discussed: This episode is sponsored by SunBasket.com.

Kelsey: Hey, Laura. How are you doing today? Laura: Not bad, just had my first full weekend home in about 6 weeks. It was almost like a little break from all the traveling, and I got a lot of work done, and had my first cake tasting experience yesterday which is somewhat relevant to just the overall week I had since we’re about to go into Thanksgiving. I have 3 cake tastings scheduled at this point during this week. Kelsey: Yum! Laura: Yeah, it’s a little ridiculous. I don’t really particularly like cake and neither does my fiancé, so it’s kind of an interesting experience and one of the reasons why I may drop that scheduling down to 2 because it’s already enough as is, and then having Thanksgiving coming up with all of the deserts that I’m going to be being around that day, I’m like do we really need to have 3 days’ worth of cake eating? Kelsey: Right, especially if you don’t even like cake that much. Laura: I know. I mean I don’t hate it. It’s just like I’m not that into it and so choosing a wedding cake I’m just kind of like I don’t really care that much. Last night I did it by myself and took a decent amount home to share with my parents and my aunt and uncle who are in town visiting. They were super happy about that.
