SIBO Challenges - Key Insights with GI MAP

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) has received a lot of attention in recent years as a possible cause of common GI symptoms such as excessive gas, bloating, abdominal pain, constipation and/or diarrhea.
In addition to SIBO, a wide range of other factors may cause similar symptoms, posing significant challenges for clinicians in determining the true cause(s) of symptoms, as well as effective treatment approaches. This situation may contribute to the relatively high rate of inadequate patient responses to SIBO treatments.
In this presentation, Dr. Fabian discusses how GI-MAP can provide clinicians with critical insights that can help identify specific imbalances that may underlie common GI symptoms that are often attributed to SIBO.

    I thought methane was the cause of constipation although Many things can cause it. I wonder how these results are interpreted if they are measured when symptoms are present with no baseline? What a challenging process to manage.

    Alkaline Phosphatase from the liver to the bloodstream & then measured in the intestines? If I have it correctly would there be an expectation that other liver enzymes would be elevated or just Alkaline Phosphatase? I appear to be a match for case 3 & it presented after surgery. Very difficult diagnostic process and conflicting philosophies. I’ve not had a GI map as of yet. Thank you for the video

    How do we get a GI Map? Regular doctors only check for H.Pylori in stool. I don't know if I have candida or sibo. The first GI doctor I had was garbage, he took a month a half to give me results for a ulcer...Wich I fix on my own with mastic gum, slippery elm , cabbage juice, licorice root extract, Manuka Honey. By the time he tried to give me medication I was almost fixed. He did tell me that I had H.Pylori but I'm not having heart burn anymore because I started raising up my stomach acid and I started adding Bile salts for now.

    also if you take mastic gum and take a conventional test, it will say you don't have Hpylori. But those are all great interventions!!

    @@diagnosticsolutionslaboratory please can you tell me if your test will be affordable for anyone or is this only for the rich? Insurance doesn’t cover it and I can’t afford $ 700 .00 Is so expensive and my doctor says I have to take at least a couple to see what I have and to see if the treatment that he will do works.

    What are the symptoms for H.Pylori that you look out for in clinical judgment to treat H. Pylori. I know some clinicians treat it every time they see it and some don't treat it until it is high. But from what I have noticed is when it is in the moderate levels, if we have not treated it, by the next test it will be high.

    How do I do a GI Map if I can not have a bowel movement without an at home enema kit? I can not go at all on my own and need to have another one because my first one I did when I was actually going at least some on my own did not show anything even though I have tons of GI and yeast symptoms. Thank you!

    You loos so much respect as a serious thinker when you casually say "The patient had a lot of [emotional] stress." There is no clinical and objective test of emotional stress. It's subjective. Therefore anything based on that (especially an unfounded assertion) is suspect at best. It's lazy too. You are like the drunk looking for his wallet under the light-post despite knowing he dropped it on the other side of the street - 'But there is no light where I dropped my wallet so I'll look here. '

    The stress referred to was noted based on patient presentation. Functional medicine practitioners talk to their patients to gauge their symptoms, including symptoms related to mental health.
