Gastrointestinal (and systemic) complaints caused by an increased number of atypical bacteria in the small intestine (1,2). Patients complain of bloating and abdominal pain, which worsens after eating. They may also experience persistent belching and flatulence, diarrhea or constipation, impaired fat absorption, vitamin deficiencies (including B12), a disrupted gut barrier, and altered immune activity (2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The advice to take extra fiber for chronic abdominal complaints worsens the symptoms in SIBO by exacerbating bacterial overgrowth. Also, many classic probiotic strains often have an adverse effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What can you do for SIBO?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to the personalized nature of MiBlend, it is possible to specifically target those probiotics that studies show can reduce SIBO symptoms (3). Clinical research is available for various MiBlend strains, demonstrating a good effect in treating SIBO. How you, as a practitioner, can use this is simple: when choosing the SIBO variant in the prescription (in the prescription selection box for 1 or 2 months), the patient will receive a special MiBlend with a thermos flask and a tailored usage instruction to enhance effectiveness in the small intestine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SIBO Treatment Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, it\u2019s all about practice, so we requested the first experiences. We immediately encountered many positive patient stories. One notable case is a woman who, despite a healthy lifestyle, continued to suffer from fatigue, constipation, and skin issues. Only after SIBO treatment did she start improving. More information can be found in the attached case description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Referenties:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.gtc.2017.09.008\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.gtc.2017.09.008<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.advms.09.001\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.advms.09.001<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/MCG.0000000000000814\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/MCG.0000000000000814<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_0 et_pb_section et_pb_section--fixed et_section_regular et_flex_section et-interaction-target-zwocqpy6qf preset--module--divi-section--default\" data-interaction-trigger=\"7hv7hq8l9z\" data-interaction-target=\"zwocqpy6qf\" id=\"video_canvas\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_0 et_pb_row et_flex_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_0 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\"><div class=\"et_pb_icon_0 et_pb_icon et_pb_module et_flex_module video_close\"><span class=\"et_pb_icon_wrap\"><span class=\"et-pb-icon\">\uf057<\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_code_0 et_pb_code et_pb_module\" id=\"microbiome_center_video_iframe\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We previously discussed SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), a relatively unknown phenomenon for many, but one that is very common in practice.
