Episode notes
Probiotics Aren't Just Friendly Bacteria
- Probiotics act as antimicrobials by releasing antimicrobial peptides that fight bacteria, fungi, and parasites.
- They also modulate immune receptors like toll-like receptors to improve systemic symptoms beyond the gut.
Use Saccharomyces Boulardii For SIBO
- Use Saccharomyces boulardii at clinical doses (around 10 billion CFU/day) to treat SIBO and reduce symptoms.
- Clinical trials showed high SIBO resolution rates and symptom improvements when using S. boulardii.
Try Lacto‑Bifido Blends For IBS And Leaky Gut
- Try lactobacillus + bifidobacterium blends at typical doses (1–20 billion CFU/day) to improve SIBO, leaky gut, and IBS symptoms.
- Multi-strain blends showed consistent improvements across trials, including up to 82% leaky gut improvement in a 2023 trial.
