Love Your Gut Ep. 106: What if its not SIBO, but SIFO? How fungus plays a role in GI symptoms
If you’ve treated SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) before and either nothing changed… or things got worse… this episode is for you!
Because what if it’s not just bacterial overgrowth?
In this episode of the Love Your Gut podcast, Dr. Heather Finley breaks down one of the most overlooked reasons women stay stuck with bloating, food reactions, sugar cravings, and “gut protocols” that never seem to fully work: SIFO, or small intestinal fungal overgrowth
You’ll learn why SIFO can look a lot like SIBO, why it’s often missed, and why repeated antibiotics, low stomach acid, restrictive diets, and chronic stress can all create the kind of environment where fungal overgrowth can thrive.
