Usually, SIBO is a dysbiosis in the gut. And I tried that on a lot of patients, and what I found is, it would just immediately come back and I could perceive it just wasnt long enough. A rapid rise in exhaled hydrogen or methane may indicate bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine. Leave a comment or connect with me on social media asking any health question you may have and I just might incorporate it into our next listener questions podcast episode just for you! nausea. Okay. Outdoors, H2S is naturally present in crude petroleum, natural gas, volcanic gases, and hot springs. And I hope it came through that I dont disagree one bit with everyones desire to have lactulose, for the very reason that Dr. Siebecker stated. Hear what the research says about their effectiveness. 25 It is usually well tolerated in young healthy adults. Disclaimer: (1) The information provided on this website is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any disease. So were missing a majority of these people. Well, I did try that for many years on many patients and I personally found it to be unsuccessful. A hundred patients that go through their center are different than a hundred patients off the street. That would be rifaximin for the diarrhea type or rifaximin plus neomycin or metronidazole for the constipation type. Now, before I go on, let me just say that I uniformly saw constipation in my hydrogen sulfide patients. DrMR: Yep. Remember, with any case of SIBO, it is extremely important to rule out other underlying causes that could be contributing to bacterial overgrowth such as decreased digestive motility, and to consult with a doctor who is knowledgeable in treating patients with IBS. Sulfur is also part of the cellular stress response, improving ATP (energy) productionso that cells can carry on normal functions even when under stress. Can a fecal transplant cure the dysbiosis imbalance causing hydrogen sulfide SIBO that causes debilitating diarrhea? The other thing thatat least for right now until we have better dataI just want to again remind the audience of is, a good gut-focused or SIBO-focused clinician should be able to help you navigate this. But thats going to be years and years. So we cant see that gas, but the hydrogen is getting converted into hydrogen sulfide and no methane is being made (because methane also uses hydrogen). The breath test only measures methane and hydrogen right now. so that cells can carry on normal functions even when under stress. And one lady said, What probiotics do you recommend?. Its because patients were reporting all their symptoms to me, that turn out to have a flat line. EXCESS HYDROGEN SULFIDE . Is it colonic gas? I have started to take berberine and it is also suggested to take Allicin along with it. I have to underscore this. So I guess what I want you to know is that diarrhea is what the research is showing, and mine and Dr. Jacobis clinical experience is showing constipation. So if you have bacteria where it doesnt belong and you eat something, the bacteria isnt going to say, On Monday Im going to eat it and Im going to ferment that and produce gas, and thats whats going to result in symptoms.. indigestion. So I think thats probably where everyone is getting excited. So very severe, difficult food intolerances. It is typical for people with an excess amount of hydrogen sulfide gas to have their stools turn black when they take bismuth. So, I feel like its essential in a basic way. So just for people, this is not something that Gary is just paying lip service to and not actually doing. And in terms of sulfur types of foods or supplements, a lot of them are worse from an Epsom salt bath, because thats magnesium sulfate. But again, zooming us way out, its great that we have some of these symptoms that can help steer this process. And I think if we hit the mark here of helping the person listening to or reading this understand that theres not this magic bullet of hydrogen sulfide SIBO, its not here yet, and work with their doctor, work with their clinician, consider some of the process in the hierarchy that we laid out earlier, that can get them moving forward. Sometimes theyd be taking allicin which comes from garlic, and thats sulfur-containing. And then number two, do they have chronic postprandial symptoms? Gary, anything that you want to close with? But, Bismuth subsalicylate has also been shown to substantially reduce gas in the intestine caused by hydrogen sulfide. Because 60 to 70 percent of the time, its they didnt drink the substrate! So I just dont want someone to be like, But she said this works for hydrogen sulfide. Its always hit or miss. Or what are your thoughts about just adding in some bismuthor something like thatto your approach to treating SIBO, generally speaking, based on the fact that we cant measure hydrogen sulfide right now, and you dont know youre dealing with it? Today well be talking about hydrogen sulfide SIBO, what we can do in regards to treatment and testing, and what we may want to be cautious regarding. Meaning they cant master what they already have at their disposal. Maybe we should start with defining hydrogen sulfide SIBO for people who havent heard of it Im sure most of our audience has. Hydrogen sulfide has emerged as an important 'gasotransmitter' that regulates several bodily systems including: the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, hormonal, and nervous systems. Working hand in hand, thats what youre able to glean from the data that we provide you. It manufactured and distributed the pink liquid. Its not that long of an ask! Its coming. GS: Absolutely. We want to know whether or not were dealing with it from a hydrogen and methane perspective. But certainly, you do a great job there. We might get a 20% gain from one and then another 20% gain from another. Bismuth is one that comes up. Long-term use of Pepto Bismol, however, is not recommended, as it contains many adjuvants as well as salicylate, which can be harsh on the gut lining. DrMR: And this is one of the nice things, Gary, about the way your lab operates. Our body needs a constant supply of sulfate to function properly. So its truly toxic. So were seeing this really play out. Symptoms seem to be similar and my doctor did have me on Bebbermine with no success. One interesting diagnostic approach, aside from a flat line in regular SIBO testing, is Pepto Bismol. So youll have these, and it doesnt matter if its Monday morning, Thursday afternoon, or Sunday evening. Pepto Bismol need to NOT be used in children, and no longer then 2-3 weeks in grownups. It also works to protect the stomach and lower part of your food pipe (esophagus) from stomach acid. It depends on if the prep was done right, the appropriate laboratory work was done right, the right devices. Symptoms usually include bloating primarily, sometimes belching and reflux, and sometimes constipation and/or diarrhea. Even if you kill the overgrown bacteria and restore normal sulfur levels, if the reason sulfur dropped in the first place is due to toxicity, then identifying and eliminating the toxin(s) is in order. Ive seen so many various prep guidelines out there. Ive been through several treatments and several Drs for methane dominant sibo, including abx, alinia and herbals. Theyre seeing the sickest of the sick. Even if you kill the overgrown bacteria and restore normal sulfur levels, if the reason sulfur dropped in the first place is due to toxicity, then identifying and, SIBO, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth. What do you think might be happening? The clinician might treat. It doesnt offer much in regards to treatment besides letting you know that you probably have an underlying motility issue you need help with, but Id say its great for peace of mind knowing what caused your condition. And we do have a way to interpret hydrogen sulfide currently in breath testing. I understand people not reading, people not being patient and being maybe a little bit impetuous. When I see zeros, ones, twos, threes parts per million with glucose, were picking up the phone. So how do you get bismuth? raise the blood levels of sulfate via skin absorption, Anti-Aging Benefits of Glucosamine and MSM, Remove obstacles to cure and give your body the building blocks it needs to heal in just 6 weeks.

And I think it was about three years ago I started bringing it in. But Allison, any particulars that youre looking to? Pepto-Bismol works as an antacid to reduce excess stomach acid and so eases discomfort. What I very rarely saw, just a couple of patients, was the sulfur-smelling gas, like a flatulence where people say a rotten egg smell, but basically a sulfur smell. In summary, testing a low sulfur diet combined with daily Epsom salt baths for 7 days is a great place to start. Its like hearsay from another person. essentially gives the patients Pepto-Bismol along with the Rifaximin. Bismuth subsalicyclate (BSS) has been shown to provide up to 65% protection against TD when taken as 2 tablets 4 times per day for a maximum of 3 weeks. Keep your gut in balance by choosing the right supplements for your gut microbiome. So, brain fog, fatigue, potentially high cholesterol and weight gain and higher blood sugar, joint pain, skin lesions. And he said he was finding bismuth to be successful in cases of methane.

I think where the excitement is coming from for the new technology is that Doctors Pimentel and Rezaietheyre the ones who have invented this technology and are doing the researchhad told me that somewhere between 60 to 70 percent of people who are actually positive for hydrogen sulfide with this new technology are not a flat line. At the same time, it has antibacterial activity that may kill off both the unfriendly bacteria and the biofilms they live in. Unfortunately the Thorne one has a lot of other of their mucilaginous polysaccharide herbs that sometimes can aggravate SIBO. My guess is the allicin didnt work for me. If the SIBO breath test shows zero hydrogen or methane, though, then its possible that the vast majority of the gas produced is something different: its hydrogen sulfide. If youre exhibiting a lot of these symptoms, that increases the probability that the underlying cause of your symptoms may be this hydrogen sulfide SIBO, which could mean some nuanced changes in how you treat SIBO. Its possible that SIBO just isnt the causeit might be some other form of. If you need a refresher on what exactly SIBO is and how its linked to IBS see the overview here. Measuring hydrogen sulfide to determine excess overgrowth was previously not possible until recent technological breakthroughs in breath testing. One tab of Pepto bismol 20min before meals. Thats what Ive seen work. Lets say the technology does come out, but its only in office and its not something that offices want to buy because of the cost of the technology. Learn more about breath testing here. Welcome to Dr. Ruscio Radio. And guess what the number one reason is for a flat line test? But these are the validations. Sometimes its easier to say, Ooh, look at this new thing, and jump to that thing. Youre going to be in the ballpark with SIBO treatments, and then there are some nuances you can add to it. However, we are, by and large, diagnosing SIBO based on the tried-and-true, time-tested, globally utilized hydrogen and methane breath testing, where we validate that from a gas perspective. Your doctor may suggest taking over-the-counter medications such as Pepto Bismol that may be effective in fighting egg burps. And I was also using another test that at the time was very inexpensive, way back then. Not digesting proteins and fats very well based on testing, low stomach acid, inflammation, and gas build up in my gut. A new SIBO breath test assesses hydrogen sulfide, which is directly related to diarrhea and abdominal pain. So then as I read some more, I saw that bismuth can also be used. However, as Dr. Ruscio clearly pointed out in the introduction, we need to be cautious that we dont jump from an approach that weve used in large part to actively deal with patients suffering from SIBO globally, to newer technologies that may be very exciting and new in research situations, but have not been necessarily tested, nor has the technology been validated to really lead us. TypicalSIBO antibiotics, such as Xifaxan, Neomycin, Berberine, Neem, and oregano, can also be effective in treating H2S symptoms. 3 Genova's SIBO profiles utilize the North American Consensus Guidelines published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Lets go through the checklist that Gary has made, to make sure before you decide its hydrogen sulfide, etc. But I mean it medically. 3 Although it is normal to produce some amounts of this gas, an excess amount can be an indicator of a certain type of gastrointestinal issue. Even though hydrogen sulfide SIBO doesnt show up on tests, traditional SIBO treatments typically still work, too. For a while there, I couldnt tell, is it helping methane? Another diagnostic: while traditional SIBO typically responds well to a low FODMAP diet, those with hydrogen sulfide SIBO will likely respond better to a low sulfur diet. Patients are resolving. They never fed it. DrMR: Okay. When he couldn't keep up with demand he enlisted the Norwich Pharmacal Company in Norwich, New York. Number one, with regard to the flat line, lets start there. But well come back to that in more detail in a moment. And why do we test? It was a urine test developed by Dr. De Meirleirwho focuses on hydrogen sulfide in the context of myalgic encephalomyelitis (another name for that is fibromyalgia)in Europe. . Because the last thing that we need is a clinician whos just shooting from the hip, in terms of how theyre interpreting a SIBO breath test. Additionally, although meat contains a large number of amino acids, such as cysteine and methionine, which contain sulfur, most people have been shown to tolerate meat well in normal portion sizes. Usual Adult Dose for Dyspepsia. This is just theory. Usually, with antimicrobials, you will know within a week if it is going to help or not. And at the end of the 60-second video, we provide a link with the specific probiotic recommendations based upon this gut-brain connection. I dont think it would be necessary, if it was a hydrogen-only clear case and youre not concerned about hydrogen sulfide, right? And we can get into the treatment differences in a second. If you have bacteria where it doesnt belong, which is in the small intestine The small intestine is supposed to have less than 10 to the 3 colony forming units of bacteria. They could not have a colon. Or sometimes Id have patients that thought they were trying to treat their SIBO and theyd bought berberine sulfate, and theyd get worse. So it makes sense that these people present generally sicker. I continued to workout and sweat often. So maybe its pushing someone towards constipation. And this is really disheartening, because then these patients end up getting treated and treated and treated and treated, never to really feel much different or see their labs changed, because they were treating a false positive all the while. I also have H2S. This seems contradictory if the whole issue is low sulfur levels, but again, the problem may be that the body is unable to use the sulfur it receives from food. And then one other one I want to mentionempirical, clinicalis nitazoxanide. We have to be very careful with that though, because that can aggravate. First thing we do is validate via the questions. In small amounts, hydrogen sulfide is actually a vital molecule that is needed for living organisms to survive. Pepto-Bismol is used to treat diarrhea, nausea, heartburn, indigestion, gas, or upset stomach. Lemongrass oil has been shown to exhibit an antimicrobial effect on sulfur-reducing bacteria through its active ingredient, citral, inseveral studies. This article is based on scientific evidence, written by experts and fact checked by experts. However, you can consider treating for SIBO or presume SIBO, and potentially add some nuance to that treatment that is hydrogen-sulfide-specific. Unfortunately the treatment for Methane and HS is Rifaximin and Neomycin in combination. So theyre more challenging cases. And I think I had one patient report it from burping. Sometimes that would make them worse. I will never share, sell, or publish your email address. Because we might choose to treat differently if we are dealing with methane. Two, if your test is negative, consider hydrogen sulfide. By reducing your intake of sulfur for an extended period of time, youll give your body the break it needs to get back on track. Yes, absolutely, Dr. Siebecker, thank you. 1, 2 Experts suggest non-invasive breath testing for the diagnosis of SIBO. So that could make sense.

I am seeing that alot of people use Allicin from garlic to treat SIBO. Bismuth subsalicylate is something you've probably heard of - it usually goes by the name Pepto-Bismol! Studies show that a large percentage of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is actually Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). We dont have that technology. I have a colleague who tried using it for methane. encourages overgrowth of H2S producing bacteria to compensate. And once we can get all the gases tested we might be able to make sense of this. There are two other quick things I just wanted to mention, and Dr. Ruscio just hit on it. The hydrogen breath test is a simple medical test that measures hydrogen gas levels (H02) in the breath you exhale. And what I was thrilled to learn from Gary is that as hes been sharing ithe talks to lots of clinicianshes finding its ringing true. So what does it really mean? He sold his invention directly to other doctors. Now I found out I have H2s. Id like to thank Aerodiagnostics, my favorite SIBO lab, for making this podcast possible. Ive seen them all work and Ive seen them all fail. Supplementing with molybdenum, which is a mineral that helps in sulfur metabolism, can also be very helpful. Aerodiagnostics.com. Instead, bismuth can be a short-term remedy for someone looking for some symptom relief. So moving on in the symptoms, Ive seen bladder irritation or interstitial cystitis. But the other thing that Ive seen is body pain. But usually its more like I asked, Do you have irritation when youre urinating? But rather, what it oftentimes looks like is, we need to string together a few different therapies. A couple of things with this. And bismuth, either alone or in combination.

Additionally, by eliminating the high sulfur foods from your diet, you will also be able to test out how your body responds to different foods that contain high amounts of sulfur when reintroducing them later. Symptoms of hydrogen sulfide SIBO are similar to those of regular SIBO, except that they also are, One interesting diagnostic approach, aside from a flat line in regular SIBO testing, is Pepto Bismol. What Ive found is for patients who have this predilection toward carbsthey like carbs, they like starch, and they dont do that well with meat and lots of vegetablesIve observed that patient type may simply do better on a lower-sulfur diet.

So, what exactly is this gas composed of? Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO Protocol update Hi guys :) I'm two weeks in to my treatment 2000mg Bismuth (Brands Combination out of Devrom, Thorne Pepti Guard and Pepto Bismol) 34mg Zinc Acetate (Brand life extension) 300 mcg molybdenum (Brand Biotics, Mo-zyme) Two pills of ADP oregano H2S plays an important role in our bodys ability to respond to foreign pathogens by regulating inflammation (which is good when we are trying to fight off disease), memory formation, cognition, energy, gut motility, and much more. And Gary, I think you made a good point, which istrying to come back to that process that I outlined earlierfirst, test and if youre not sure if the testing is negative or flat lined, double-check that youve done the test appropriately. It is also used to treat diarrhea and help prevent travelers' diarrhea. Its not a study. And what prokinetic did you use and possibly still using? And please correct me, Dr. Siebecker or Dr. Ruscio, if Im wrong, but you have to understand, these research centers have a different patient population than the clinician thats in private practice in Nebraska or New Jersey or New York or Florida. That would just be so speculative that the margin for error on that would be very high. Sorry to dump so many things for the folks listening here, but these are important factors when we talk about this. So thats one thing we can do. Most people with hydrogen sulfide issues find that garlic, eggs, kale and other brassica vegetables like broccoli and brussel sprouts are the most problematic foods that promote their symptoms. When you use Aerodiagnostics, they are very robust with their clinical support. We respect your privacy. Which are: does the patient suffer from tingling of the hands and feet, do they have photophobia, intolerance to noise, visceral body pain, do they have the odorous gas, that river bed or rotten egg odor? Since a majority of the gas in the body will be H2S, this may be why a traditional breath test will show little to no hydrogen or methane and will look like a flat line. Also at the same time guarding against not getting pulled into a gutter of therapies that have no relevance to your gut, and maybe even spinning your wheels. It seems like a lot of the things that can work on hydrogen sulfide can work on methanogen. So this conversation is relevant to almost anyone listening. And I have some patients report to me some very good results from doctors who had prescribed them Clindamycin. Then, we have methanogens that produce methane, but we are re-thinking that whole diagnosis as more intestinal methanogen overgrowth rather than classic SIBO. If you use highly absorbable foods, that hasnt been tested. Its a series of secondary questions. Did they actually drink it? *Inquiries relevant to the practice only. I see people after theyve seen other doctors. We might not have a rise in the colon with lactulose because they were on elemental diet. Im trying to help patients and providers make as much sense out of this as possible. These symptoms can include: heartburn. Were getting a lot of those calls in the lab. Although widely available, breath testing is less specific than other types of tests for diagnosing bacterial overgrowth. Uses. It's usually used as an antacid medication. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas that has a characteristic smell of rotten eggs. I might be getting this wrong. And then the last thing Ill say is, when folks are doing studies with regard to hydrogen and methane breath testing, please, please know that if youre doing it right, its all about the prep and the devices used, closed capture devices, and how the laboratory does it. Yes, I'm ready for the next steps And Get These Exclusive Bonus Items . This is what we do. It could be so many different things. Lets not start reading everything on the Internet that we can about hydrogen sulfide SIBO and making every treatment based upon what we eat, and all the supplements that we use totally centered around that. But if we dont have enough of it, one theory is that the body encourages overgrowth of H2S producing bacteria to compensate. Hi.My friend with severe constipation tested negative for SIBO ( breath test) but I suspect hydrogen sulfide, particularly because she reacted to her Espom salts ( Her legs swelled up). We have patients that have heavy doses of laxatives that can sometimes flush. And I often point patients to Dr. Siebeckers site and Dr. Jacobis site, trusted, well-valued across the board, and to Dr. Ruscios podcast for information. However, that comes with salicylic acid, which can be damaging to the stomach lining. And then lo and behold, I had never shared my data with Dr. Jacobi, but we got together and shared our data and she had the same experience as I did, constipation. But from what Ive been told it will not be available for a distance test or a mail kit or do-it-at-home kit. Those would be separate. Because were throwing out a lot of details here and I think the clinicians are probably loving this. Download Episode (Right click on link and Save As).

Dosing is 10 drops up to several times daily. And that seems to me to be really the best way to go about this. Its pretty interesting. Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO Everything You Need To Know, Hydrogen and Methane Lactulose Breath Test, Carbohydrate malabsorption (i.e., lactose intolerance), An important component of some amino acids, Important for maintaining the structure of cells and the walls of arteries, Folliculitis (inflamed/swollen hair follicles), Toxicity from chemicals(e.g., glyphosate, the herbicide used in Roundup), Cruciferous veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, Too much animal protein (contains amino acids cysteine and methionine), Carrots, celery, mushrooms, squash, zucchini, pumpkin, cucumbers, Lots of other foods that are lower in sulfur. There are actually a couple of research studies, not about SIBO, that show that link. If you use that, thats been validated. I know theres a preference. And then second, if youre negative or you have this flat line pattern and you have some of those hydrogen sulfide symptoms, consider adding in the hydrogen-sulfide-nuanced treatments to the gut treatment protocol youre going to use. So what you could do, as we look at this whole process, is first verify that your test was done correctly. Theres a study that used it and it had a very successful rate of treating it.
