THE SIBO SOLUTION™ PROTOCOL BY DR. AMY MYERS

You look six months pregnant. And you only ate a salad.

Bloating, an IBS diagnosis that never resolved, rosacea, reactions to healthy food, a thyroid that will not behave. There is one overgrowth sitting underneath all of it, and I am going to show you exactly how to clear it.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

There is no one symptom of SIBO. It is a cluster.

These are the symptoms I looked for in every patient who walked into my clinic. You do not need all of them.

• Bloating after meals, the six months pregnant feeling
• Diarrhea, constipation, or alternating stool
• Cramping, gas, heartburn or reflux
• Brain fog, anxiety, depression, irritability
• Low B12 or low fat soluble vitamins despite supplementing
• Unexplained weight loss or weight gain
• Eczema, unexplained rashes, joint pain
• Recurrent UTIs
• Fermented foods make you worse
• A regular probiotic makes you worse

If I had to pick four

These are the strongest signals that point me to SIBO before anything else.

1. Hashimoto's
2. An IBS diagnosis
3. Histamine intolerance
4. Rosacea

Most people think of SIBO as diarrhea. What they do not realize is that chronic constipation can have SIBO underneath it too. I have had SIBO twice, and both times it showed up for me as constipation.

THE MECHANISM

Too much of a good thing, living in the wrong place.

“The gut is the gateway to health.” SIBO is small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It is too many bacteria, very often your own good bacteria, living somewhere they were never meant to be. Roughly 100 trillion bacteria belong in your large intestine. Your small intestine is supposed to have very few.

These bacteria are not the enemy. They are simply in the wrong place. That is why, when I get to the protocol, I talk about pruning them back rather than killing them off.

Once they are there, they feed on your carbohydrates and ferment them, producing hydrogen, methane and hydrogen sulfide gas as inflammatory byproducts. That fermentation is also where your histamine problem comes from, because histamine is a byproduct of it.

DEFENSE ONE

Stomach acid

At a pH of roughly 1.5 to 3.0, acidic enough to kill bacteria, viruses and parasites as your food arrives.

DEFENSE TWO

Bile

Your gallbladder releases bile salts, which help keep the small intestine relatively sterile.

DEFENSE THREE

The sweep

A wave of contractions clears your small intestine every 90 minutes. As with a janitor and a broom, it only runs when you are not eating.

Chronic stress, hypothyroidism, certain medications, nerve damage, diabetes and even a single episode of food poisoning can all suppress that sweep. That is when the conditions for SIBO are set.

EVERYTHING INCLUDED

What you get when you enroll

CORE TRAINING

10 video modules

I teach every one of them, start to finish. Follow along in order or move at your own pace.

THE PROTOCOL

The complete three step approach

Starve, disrupt and prune back, restore and balance. I give you the detail you need to actually run it, including why all three happen at once.

YOURS TO KEEP

The Protocol Workbook, 11 pages

A printable companion I put together for you: symptom inventory, the three gas types compared, a root cause checklist, all three steps, testing side by side, die-off support and a progress tracker.

KNOW YOUR TYPE

Hydrogen, methane and sulfide

I show you which gas your bacteria produce and how that changes the way your SIBO shows up. It explains why yours may look completely different from someone else's.

KNOW YOUR NUMBERS

The complete testing guide

I compare lactulose and glucose breath testing, organic acids urine testing and nutrient panels, and explain why a stool test is looking in the wrong place.

ROOT CAUSE

The Hashimoto's connection

I devote a whole module to why SIBO and thyroid disease feed each other, and the research showing more than double the risk.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Die-off support

I show you how to build up slowly, what to have on hand before you start, and why you do not need to feel terrible to get better.

MORE THAN ONE

SIBO and Candida Together

These two most often travel together. I give you the exact order to introduce each one, and the one step you must hold back.

LIVE SESSION

Live Q&A recording

I answer real questions on supplements to avoid, running protocols back to back, gallbladder removal and preparing for a test.

YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Dr. Amy Myers

I received my Doctorate of Medicine from Louisiana State University Health Science Center, trained in Emergency Medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center, and practiced as an emergency physician in Austin. However, the reason I do this work is personal.

During my second year of medical school I was diagnosed with Graves' disease, an autoimmune thyroid condition. Every concern I raised was ignored or dismissed until someone finally got the diagnosis right, and then conventional medicine offered me exactly two options, both of which meant destroying my thyroid.

In 2010 I opened my own clinic, Austin UltraHealth, and became a certified functional medicine physician in 2012. Almost everyone who walked through my door had SIBO or Candida or both. I developed this protocol because the conventional approach was costing my patients thousands of dollars, and that was not sustainable for anybody.

• Doctorate of Medicine, LSU Health Science Center
• Emergency Medicine, University of Maryland Medical Center
• Certified, The Institute for Functional Medicine
• Founder and Medical Director, Austin UltraHealth, 2010 to 2018
• Two New York Times bestselling books
• Seven appearances on The Dr. Oz Show
• My own PBS special
