Despite working in medicine as a manager of a very forward thinking internal medicine practice, owning & operating a pilates studio, and eating “healthy” most of my adult life, I found myself in my 40’s plagued by severe abdominal bloating no matter what I ate or drank. I experienced weight gain in my belly, back pain on one side, hair loss & constipation. I was told by doctors that “it was just gas” after begging for an ultrasound. I sought counsel from a Chinese medicine doctor, an internist, an acupuncturist, an ayurvedic practitioner, a naturopath, AND a licensed clinical nutritionist before finally being diagnosed with SIBO by a gastroenterologist. I briefly tried an antibiotic but it did nothing to provide relief. I was dismayed by the idea of taking more meds as I knew they were perpetuating the dysbiosis in my digestive tract. Wasn't there something else I could do?

My rock bottom was when I could literally no longer work in my Pilates studio for fear of the severe gas that was a result of anything I ingested at that time. That’s when I said, ENOUGH!
This sent me on a further quest to figure this out myself. It took a while, but after making the proper lifestyle and nutrition changes, I finally started feeling like myself again; no back pain, no bloating, much less gas & constipation and I successfully repaired my gut lining.
