Is There Any Natural Remedy To Cure SIBO Along With The SIBO Diet?
hello! I have been diagnosed with SIBO and given the RX Xifaxxan. I am 56 with a redondit colon and have managed thru diet, natural supplements and walking, constipation all my life. I am afraid to take pharmacuetical drugs due to side effects. Do you know of any natural herbs such as garlic, peppermint, ginger, or the like that could cure SIBO along with the SIBO diet? Thank you very much.

1. SIBO [small intestine bacterial overgrowth] is disorder of small intestine and is associated with mal absorption resulting in malnutrition and weight loss other than nausea, vomiting, bloating , diarrhea.
2. since the small bowel is associated with absorption of iron [duodenum/ jejunum], thus mal absorption will result in iron deficiency anemia, while absorption of vitamin B12 at [ileum] and mal absorption will result in megaloblastic anemia, thus check with respective values
3. The problem with Xifaxan is that most insurance companies have approved it for traveler’s diarrhea, but not for SIBO, so it can be very cost-prohibitive, as such in Ayurveda we treat the disease on the basis of 'Grahani' Roga
take: old brown rice, moong,masoor, arhar dal, banana, jamun, butter milk, goat milk,sesame oil,honey,soup,cumin,mint.
avoid: maize,pea,garlic,betel nut,vinegar,milk and milk products,jaggery,spicy food,late night awakening,drinking excess milk,corrylium,tobacco [in any form], excess physical exertion.
1. fried cumin seeds 500mg,
fried asafetida (hing) 125mg,
shweta parpati 500mg, mix them and take with honey three times a day.
2. kutaj arishta 20ml
jirakadya arishta 20ml.. after meals for 21 days
3. chitrakadi vati: 1/2 hour before meals.
