E96: Why Your SIBO Keeps Coming Back (And What Actually Works)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you’ve been diagnosed with SIBO and feel stuck in the cycle of restrictive diets and endless supplements… this episode is for you.
Many people are told the solution to SIBO is simple: follow the Low-FODMAP diet and take antimicrobials or antibiotics to “kill” the overgrowth. But if that were the full answer, SIBO wouldn’t keep coming back for so many people.
In this episode, I’m joined by Registered Dietitian Katrina Cox, who specializes in IBS, SIBO, and complex digestive issues. Katrina takes a root-cause approach to gut health and helps women move beyond temporary symptom relief to build long-term digestive resilience.
Together we discuss:
• What SIBO actually is (and why it’s often misunderstood)
• Why antibiotics and antimicrobials don’t always solve the problem
• The most common root causes behind recurring SIBO
• The truth about the Low-FODMAP diet and why it shouldn’t be followed long-term
• How restrictive diets can actually worsen gut health
• Practical steps you can start today to support digestion and gut motility
If you’ve been dealing with bloating, food sensitivities, or recurring SIBO, this conversation will help you understand what’s really going on in your gut, and what actually works to move forward.
You’ll also learn why SIBO isn’t something you have to live with forever.
