The difference between IBS & SIBO

roothealthllc



⬇️⬇️ What’s the difference between IBS & SIBO??


On the surface, IBS and SIBO are hard to tell apart. Both can cause bloating, gas, pain, and either diarrhea or constipation.


❌ But they are NOT the same ❌


IBS and SIBO have different causes and different solutions—making it critical to know which is to blame if you ever want to heal.


🔆 Solving digestive mysteries is one of our specialties. We always recommend testing to know for sure what we are working with 🔆


Here are some differences between IBS and SIBO that anyone struggling with gas and bloating needs to know:


✅ SIBO affects the small intestine, whereas IBS affects the large intestine


✅ SIBO is caused by overgrowth of good bacteria, whereas IBS often involves yeast, parasites, or pathogenic bacteria


✅ Antibiotics may give temporary relief from SIBO but not IBS


✅ Probiotics and prebiotics are more likely to make SIBO worse and IBS better


The bottom line?


If you are at all confused about the cause of digestive distress, it’s time to stop guessing and actually test.

Unlike 26 other jurisdictions within the United States (23 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), Georgia chooses not to regulate the practice of Naturopathy in any form. As a result, Naturopathic Doctors are not licensed healthcare providers in Georgia and the service of Naturopathy is educational in nature and does not replace the relationship of a primary care provider. In Georgia, Naturopathic Doctors do not manage pharmaceutical medications nor do we prescribe any pharmaceuticals. In non-regulated states, all information provided during the course of our service is intended to educate and empower each and every individual however, it is not intended as medical advice, nor is it intended to replace the advice of a licensed provider.
