S02E04 | What you should know about SIBO with Prof. Dr. Stephan Vavricka

Prof. Dr. Med. Stephan Vavricka is an incredible gastroenterologist that has been raising SIBO awareness and is one of the very few leading SIBO experts in Switzerland. Also known as “Dr House” - not sure he’s aware of that - Dr. Vavricka has truly helped Sandra’s clients get to the bottom of their gut woes with empathy, humour and kindness.

This episode kicks off by breaking down the controversy surrounding small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and continues to cover the following points throughout the episode with today’s guest:

• What SIBO is and what the different types are including how they differ
• Symptoms to look out for and how they overlap with other conditions
• The diagnostic process
• Treatment protocols and the role of antibiotics
• The role of the low FODMAP diet
• Is SIBO preventable?

It was an absolute pleasure having him on the podcast and it was definitely interesting having two gastroenterologists discuss similarities and differences when it comes to managing SIBO.
