What is SIBO?
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) happens when too many bacteria build up in the small intestine, leading to uncomfortable gut symptoms and, in some cases, nutrient deficiencies.
I work with clients to help them understand what is driving their symptoms, calm inflammation, and make practical changes so you can eat with more confidence again.
What is SIBO?
SIBO is essentially an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine, where normally only relatively low numbers of microbes should be present. This overgrowth can interfere with digestion and absorption, leading to gas production, irritation of the gut lining, and problems with how you process fats, carbohydrates, and some vitamins.
What’s the difference between a dietician, nutritionist and nutritional therapist?
Each professional—dietitian, nutritionist, and nutritional therapist—plays a valuable role in the field of nutrition and health, contributing unique expertise and perspectives. While none of these professionals can prescribe or promote medications or claim to treat medical conditions, they all offer evidence-based recommendations to support health and well-being. Dietitians and nutritional therapists, in particular, consult with individuals to create personalised nutrition plans tailored to their specific needs, grounded in scientific evidence from published health journals.
