It can feel frusturating to have bloating, distention and IBS symptoms with no answers as to why you are having them. Thankfully, there are two tests that can help to identify if you have SIBO and that can help you on your gut healing journey. What is SIBO? Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a […]

If you’ve been eating all the “right” foods and trying all the gut healing supplements, but still find yourself bloated, you’re not alone.
