The Girls Fuel Podcast

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most confusing and frustrating gut health topics: SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth). What is it really? How does it differ from gut dysbiosis? And, most importantly, how do you know if it’s at the root of your digestive struggles? We’ll unpack the three types of SIBO—methane, hydrogen, and hydrogen sulfide—what causes it to develop, and how conditions like hypothyroidism or insulin resistance might increase your risk. Plus, I’ll share my personal experience with structural gut issues and how it shaped my approach to managing symptoms. We’ll also cover testing options (hint: not all tests are created equal), treatment strategies that go beyond antibiotics, and why low-FODMAP diets aren’t a one-size-fits-all fix. And if SIBO keeps coming back, don’t worry—we’re talking about how to support your gut so you can prevent recurrence and finally move forward. If you’ve ever wondered whether you have SIBO or just want a clearer picture of what’s happening in your gut, this episode is for you!
