So just for people, this is not something that Gary is just paying lip service to and not actually doing. Theyre seeing the sickest of the sick. But certainly, you do a great job there. Did they drink it with water? We have to be very careful with that though, because that can aggravate. A low sulfur diet enables the overworked enzymes to play catch-up. But Allison, lets go through some of these. But as an example, just looking at the SIBO biofilm data that we collected, yes, we did show a measurable benefit that was statistically significantwhere the people who are treated with SIBO herbs plus antibiofilm agents had a greater reduction in hydrogen than did patients treated with SIBO herbsbut it didnt really seem to be clinically meaningful. It might be yeast overgrowth. You see, your digestive tract is designed to house a host of different microbes that make up what is collectively known as your gut microbiome. I am seeing that alot of people use Allicin from garlic to treat SIBO. And then lo and behold, I had never shared my data with Dr. Jacobi, but we got together and shared our data and she had the same experience as I did, constipation. I have started to take berberine and it is also suggested to take Allicin along with it. It could be so many different things. Thats what Ive seen work. Sulfate plays an important role in a number of daily processes that occur within our body, such as maintaining the viscosity of the blood and lining our connective tissues. There are a number of different reasons why this could occur. So, I feel like its essential in a basic way. Bacteria found in your mouth and gastrointestinal tract produce hydrogen sulfide from decomposing materials that contain vegetable or animal proteins. So moving on in the symptoms, Ive seen bladder irritation or interstitial cystitis. There are also studies of using bismuth with antibiotics of your choice, really. I see people after theyve seen other doctors. Gary Stapleton: Yes, thank you, Dr. Ruscio. Im resigned to using fresh ginger at night due to its cost-effectiveness. You could have a flat line test. Is it the air from the room? So theyre more challenging cases. A rapid rise in exhaled hydrogen or methane may indicate bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine. This can help patients and practitioners better identify the problem, but there's likely no need for a special set of treatments for this specific SIBO type. SIBO, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine that typically produces an excess of either hydrogen or methane gas, or both. Lets go through the checklist that Gary has made, to make sure before you decide its hydrogen sulfide, etc. Start course. Remember, with any case of SIBO, it is extremely important to rule out other underlying causes that could be contributing to bacterial overgrowth such as decreased digestive motility, and to consult with a doctor who is knowledgeable in treating patients with IBS. Does your breath test simultaneously measure CH4, CO2, H2 and H2S? So I think you have to be careful not to hold this out as, every case who is negative on a SIBO breath test has hydrogen sulfide as the cause. I contacted Dr. De Meirleirs lab, and the lab director sent me a list of antibiotics that could be used, based on the hydrogen sulfide producing organism that you find. Instead, bismuth can be a short-term remedy for someone looking for some symptom relief. GS: Yeah. Five of those tablets, three times a day for 10 days, and then drop down to three tablets, three times a day for 20 days. I thought it would help with confirmation. Bismuth subsalicylate, sold generically as pink bismuth and under the brand names Pepto-Bismol and BisBacter, is an antacid medication used to treat temporary discomforts of the stomach and gastrointestinal tract, such as nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, and diarrhea.. Bismuth subsalicylate has the empirical chemical formula C 7 H 5 BiO 4, and is a colloidal substance obtained by . Zinc acetate has some research, and also soy isoflavones, and a Chinese herbal preparation. By the way, one other theory could be that when hydrogen sulfide is in the large intestine, it causes constipation. The Future of Functional Medicine Review: Elemental Heal (Gut Healing Meal Replacements), Future of Functional Medicine Review Clinical Newsletter, gut related disorders such as SIBO, leaky gut, Celiac, IBS, An Effective, Gut-Friendly Meal Replacement Shake, The Two Most Effective Supplements For Your Gut Microbiome, Spotting a Hashimotos Misdiagnosis and Treating The Real Cause, The Truth About Genetic Testing For Your Health, Hydrogen sulfide is a new gas being studied as a cause of SIBO, Specific hydrogen sulfide test not available as of August 2019 (in development). Today well be talking about hydrogen sulfide SIBO, what we can do in regards to treatment and testing, and what we may want to be cautious regarding. Ultimately Hydrogen SIBO will be treated by a GI with Rifaximin. A low-sulfur diet can be helpful. Measuring hydrogen sulfide to determine excess overgrowth was previously not possible until recent technological breakthroughs in breath testing. And so I asked what Dr. Pimentel and Dr. Weinstock were doing. Symptoms seem to be similar and my doctor did have me on Bebbermine with no success. Each tablespoon or chewable tablet contains 262 mg, and it aggressively soaks up hydrogen sulfide and pulls it out of your body (by turning the hydrogen sulfide into bismuth sulfide). Because thats pretty much how we separate out our SIBO treatments, with the diarrhea usually going with hydrogen and the constipation usually going with methane. Since a majority of the gas in the body will be H2S, this may be why a traditional breath test will show little to no hydrogen or methane and will look like a flat line. This spun out of an initial conversation that Dr. Ruscio and I had regarding the noise level around hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen sulfide SIBO. And I was going to add that, for the benefit of the listeners, its absolutely working out. Please do not apply any of this information without first speaking with your doctor. Now, we can begin discussing treatment options. I tested positive. Then we have chronic postprandial symptoms. Epsom salt bathsallow your body to soak up sulfate in the form of magnesium sulfate. So we get a flat line hydrogen methane breath test. So that could make sense. It was a urine test developed by Dr. De Meirleirwho focuses on hydrogen sulfide in the context of myalgic encephalomyelitis (another name for that is fibromyalgia)in Europe. Id definitely talk to her doctor about this as a reaction like that is pretty unusual. Do I take my time to do that or take the easy way out and just send the results? Serving the San Francisco bay area and distance patients via phone and Skype. Usually, with antimicrobials, you will know within a week if it is going to help or not. However, when there is an excessive amount of H2S produced by the body, as in the case of H2S SIBO, a number of issues can occur. This makes up 60 to 70 percent of flat line. So, personally, I think where this comes in are really tricky challenging cases that havent made sense or youre really scratching your head. They might add something different because they might feel that its hydrogen sulfide, like bismuth, something that Dr. Siebecker just alerted me to. H2S plays an important role in our bodys ability to respond to foreign pathogens by regulating inflammation (which is good when we are trying to fight off disease), memory formation, cognition, energy, gut motility, and much more. In terms of, was the diet dialed in, was the appropriate probiotic protocol used, were the appropriate antimicrobials used, was an elemental diet potentially used, have immunoglobulins or something of that nature been used? Typically, the air that is swallowed will remain in the stomach until it gradually moves through the digestive system by peristalsis. I hate spam as much as you do. And I think I had one patient report it from burping. So it could be that theres methane present at the same time, and methane is usually more dominant than hydrogen sulfide. Is there an urgency but then you cant void very well? That sort of thing. And yes, there is some newer information, possibly some newer devices that we could augment to improve it even further. Then: 2 months biocidin 2/day followed by 2 weeks Pepto Bismol 3/day. And I think he even presented a case at one of our symposiums like that, and I just never got success trying that. But I think thats a minority ultimately. The original formula was developed by a physician to treat severe diarrhea brought on by cholera. And I have seen cases get better from that. There have been days when Ive been like, Boy, Im getting another call from Gary or an email. And your customer service is sometimes almost hard to keep up with, because you are that thorough. Which is, yes, we need to help weed out some of the things that we dont want there, but we also have to support the gut ecosystem, if you will, to encourage balance. Sometimes theyd be taking allicin which comes from garlic, and thats sulfur-containing. Go to wholehealthdr.com, choose the type of practitioner and/or the specialty you're looking for, and/or your city or zip code! And when that happens, then we can really talk. In particular, you want to reduce your intake of sulfur-containing foods to help your bodys sulfur metabolism and detoxification pathways. I just want to make sure we dont lose our lay audience, who are saying, Oh my God, all these details are way over my head. So thats how you can think about sequencing these different interventions. But thats going to be years and years. And Gary, I think you made a good point, which istrying to come back to that process that I outlined earlierfirst, test and if youre not sure if the testing is negative or flat lined, double-check that youve done the test appropriately. Is it really hydrogen sulfide? In H2S SIBO, the hydrogen sulfide-producing bacteria compete with the methane-producing bacteria in consuming hydrogen gas. And then we further validate on the research that Dr. Siebecker did, that Dr. Ruscio is going to supply, and theyll talk about this in a moment. A multi-focused approach works best to treat SIBO and biofilm. Three of the livers Phase II Detoxification processes (rendering a toxic molecule less harmful) require sulfur: sulfation, glucoronidation, and glutathione-S-transferase. The breath test only measures methane and hydrogen right now. And so all that hydrogen is going to hydrogen sulfide. Every product is science-based, validated by real-world use, and personally vetted by Dr. Ruscio, DC. One was done with Cipro. Its just talk. Two, if your test is negative, consider hydrogen sulfide. Now, Allison has done a terrific job of putting together symptoms that appear to be associated with and may indicate hydrogen sulfide SIBO. Does anyone know of a Dr who could treat all 3 types of sibo successfully?? But I mean it medically. Aerodiagnostics.com. And I do feel like if the right laboratory work is done, that provides the data to the patient and the clinician to make the right diagnosis decisions. The test tells you whether your IBS was caused by food poisoning from anti-cdtb and anti-vinculin antibodies. And it needs to be a three-hour, because its the third hour thats vital here. And if there isnt a rise there, if we see zero or close to zero, then thats when we call it a flat line or low fixed. Thanks for all the great information youve provided here, DrMR: Okay. I mean, it could be celiac. Pepto Bismol normally colors your tongue and stool black. Honestly Ive stopped using it because it became more expensive and Im not so sure about that test. DrMR: And this is one of the nice things, Gary, about the way your lab operates. There is a third type of SIBO (besides hydrogen and methane-based SIBO) that currently does not have a test available: hydrogen sulfide SIBO. Pepto-Bismol works as an antacid to reduce excess stomach acid and so eases discomfort. Some bismuth-containing products that may be useful includeDevrom,Thorne Pepti Guard,andBiotics HPF. encourages overgrowth of H2S producing bacteria to compensate. So they go for the new and novel, at the expense of what we already know can work. Guess what? Im going to have any of the following and more: bloating, cramping, nausea, joint pain, restless leg syndrome, rosacea, other skin lesions, some other things that were learning about SIBO. Its like hearsay from another person. Learn more about breath testing here. It should be available maybe in 2019 or at least early 2020. And those came from Dr. Jacobis research. If you are utilizing a generated prep that you didnt validate The only validation Ive ever seen is chicken, fish, eggs, white rice sometimes, and white bread. 3 Although it is normal to produce some amounts of this gas, an excess amount can be an indicator of a certain type of gastrointestinal issue. What do you think might be happening? Pepto-Bismol is used to treat diarrhea, nausea, heartburn, indigestion, gas, or upset stomach. Its on the lab. Learn more about SIBO and its variations here. So if youre going to treat SIBO more empirically, then you consider adding these in. DrMR: Okay. So those are my clinical symptoms Ive gathered over time and I just share them. Now, there are some other things that are shown in the research that Ive never tried, like lactobacillus plantarum LP8. Great question. Id like to thank Aerodiagnostics, my favorite SIBO lab, for making this podcast possible. If youve tested for SIBO and your test is negative or its a flat line, the first thing you should do is double-check that you did the test appropriately. But usually its more like I asked, Do you have irritation when youre urinating? DrAS: It can be. Essentially, they can be considered the same thing. Supplementing with molybdenum, which is a mineral that helps in sulfur metabolism, can also be very helpful. In your interview with Greg Nigh you mention you were able to get past your hydrogen sulfide issues. And the clinician is diagnosing hydrogen sulfide SIBO, regardless of glucose or lactulose. This is Dr. Ruscio. The active . Pepto-Bismol: Generally given as part of H.pylori treatment, Pepto-Bismol is also known to impact other bacteria. I wrote here on sulfur intolerance. However, we are, by and large, diagnosing SIBO based on the tried-and-true, time-tested, globally utilized hydrogen and methane breath testing, where we validate that from a gas perspective. Lets say this technology isnt out for a while, so we need to do something in the meantime. Is there increased frequency? Generally speaking, if you eat, youre feeling these symptoms. But Im unclear and wary as to whether we need to really make our SIBO treatment that much more complicated. And then Gary, your website and anywhere else you want to point people? A new SIBO breath test assesses hydrogen sulfide, which is directly related to diarrhea and abdominal pain. Now, I think what that would mean is were missing some people who maybe are showing a negative and they really do have hydrogen sulfide, because theyre not showing a flat line. So thats the current state. Approximately 400 mcg of molybdenum, also 20 min prior to meals. A hundred patients that go through their center are different than a hundred patients off the street. Hi.My friend with severe constipation tested negative for SIBO ( breath test) but I suspect hydrogen sulfide, particularly because she reacted to her Espom salts ( Her legs swelled up). Pepto-Bismol is bismuth. Yes. Its rare that I see, for a patient whos pretty ill, that just one thing breaks open the entire case. They were both saying, you just treat it the same way you would have before, you treat the presentation, meaning constipation versus diarrhea. So this is a non-validated test and a patient told me about it. Steps to Breaking Through Biofilm to Eradicate SIBO: As always, "clean air, clean water, and clean food" should come first. GS: Yes, I absolutely agree with that. No, berberine is not that only or main antimicrobial for h2s. And there are different treatments for hydrogen sulfide. Were there to be the specialists on the diagnostic end. That didnt work for me. I do not necessarily think all of this was necessary, but this is . However, you can consider treating for SIBO or presume SIBO, and potentially add some nuance to that treatment that is hydrogen-sulfide-specific. But whats interesting about SIBOand many a gut conditionis were now understanding that imbalances in the gut can also manifest extra-intestinally. Number one, with regard to the flat line, lets start there. In the case of hydrogen sulfide dominance however do you think this would be a bad option. Then there are some herbs that we could use. Then the other thing would be, there are people who have positive hydrogen or methane, but they also have hydrogen sulfide, and were not seeing that. Getting more specific when someone has hydrogen sulfide issues it is usually correlated with diarrhea and sometimes rotten egg smelling gas, although Ive also seen constipation in people with h2s issues. I think the closing thoughts for me are, we as a treating communitybeing a diagnostic but mostly clinician and patient togetherhave had a lot of success diagnosing and treating SIBO. Sorry to dump so many things for the folks listening here, but these are important factors when we talk about this. And I just monitor Instagram periodically, but I replied on this one and said, Really? So many of the chronic cases, sadly, appear to be chronic because the provider hasnt had the requisite knowledge in how to really get in there and use the available tools appropriately. And I think, unfortunately, its the instinct of a patient to grasp for this one straw that is the thwarting factor. And most importantly, they treat, and guess what? If theres newer technology, I would assume that manufacturer and others will come up with it. Even though hydrogen sulfide SIBO doesnt show up on tests, traditional SIBO treatments typically still work, too. So maybe its pushing someone towards constipation. Im very excited. It doesnt offer much in regards to treatment besides letting you know that you probably have an underlying motility issue you need help with, but Id say its great for peace of mind knowing what caused your condition. Then we do this right and we get enough of these therapies integrated in sequence together. These are the types of gases that are measured on a breath test. In this study the ability of bismuth subsalicylate, a compound that binds H 2 S . DrAS: Ill just mention, if a person has a negative and youre thinking it could be hydrogen sulfide, the first thing to look at is to see if its a flat line test or hydrogen sulfide test. Theres actually some research with the GOS prebiotic Bimuno. Theres a study that used it and it had a very successful rate of treating it. So this conversation is relevant to almost anyone listening. So all those things. DrMR: Okay. Also, those who suffer from flatulence with this form of SIBO will likely find that it smells of rotten eggs. Its so basic. Sometimes its easier to say, Ooh, look at this new thing, and jump to that thing. And most of the lactulose in the United States is a syrup. Bismuth subsalicylate is something you've probably heard of - it usually goes by the name Pepto-Bismol! Its not a study. And I just began running it because it was so inexpensive. But SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) may underlie a number of digestive symptoms, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, termed loosely. So I cant report. At the end of the video theres a link that takes you exactly to those probiotics and also a screenshot of the probiotics that we recommend. And she goes, Oh, I didnt watch the full video. Its 60 seconds. GS: So first of all, what Dr. Siebecker was saying I absolutely align with too, and everything you just mentioned. However, the testing for this is not yet available. I personally dont feel comfortable using it. So I guess what I want you to know is that diarrhea is what the research is showing, and mine and Dr. Jacobis clinical experience is showing constipation. So we have to see how this pans out. Because the last thing that we need is a clinician whos just shooting from the hip, in terms of how theyre interpreting a SIBO breath test. Its a hydrogen sulfide. Written by Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC on I know theres a preference. EXCESS HYDROGEN SULFIDE . I have a colleague who tried using it for methane. To recap, hydrogen sulfide SIBO is a type of SIBO that can now be diagnosed with a lab breath test. The numbers in the parentheses (1, 2, 3) are clickable links to peer-reviewed scientific papers. DrMR: Yep. Pepto Bismol is an antacid . Your thoughts on IBS Smart blood test? Yes, absolutely, Dr. Siebecker, thank you. Youre supposed to mix it with water and they dont. One of the most common causes is altered intestinal motility due to nerve damage. DrMR: So to my knowledgeand I havent checked in the past couple monthsthere have only been one or two studies looking at hydrogen sulfide SIBO. There are actually a couple of research studies, not about SIBO, that show that link. Its a series of secondary questions. Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC. We have patients that have heavy doses of laxatives that can sometimes flush. And then, very cautiously and parsimoniously, consider expanding outward to other therapies. Or what are your thoughts about just adding in some bismuthor something like thatto your approach to treating SIBO, generally speaking, based on the fact that we cant measure hydrogen sulfide right now, and you dont know youre dealing with it? They could not have a colon. For more information on how to become a patient, pleasecontact our office. Have you had the IBS Smart blood test? TypicalSIBO antibiotics, such as Xifaxan, Neomycin, Berberine, Neem, and oregano, can also be effective in treating H2S symptoms. belching. GS: Can I just ask a question? Id suggest finding a doctor who knows more about treating patients with IBS and SIBO symptoms. The symptoms of H2S overgrowth can be pretty debilitating, depending on the severity of the dysbiosis. It comes back with the specimens. more commonly linked to diarrhea than constipation. I think where the excitement is coming from for the new technology is that Doctors Pimentel and Rezaietheyre the ones who have invented this technology and are doing the researchhad told me that somewhere between 60 to 70 percent of people who are actually positive for hydrogen sulfide with this new technology are not a flat line. There was another work by Lin and Massey showing 48% of people with positive glucose hydrogen breath tests at 90 minutes had a rise after that with glucose. So we cant see that gas, but the hydrogen is getting converted into hydrogen sulfide and no methane is being made (because methane also uses hydrogen). By now Im sure the audience is accustomed to me looking at things in this way. What Ive found is for patients who have this predilection toward carbsthey like carbs, they like starch, and they dont do that well with meat and lots of vegetablesIve observed that patient type may simply do better on a lower-sulfur diet. And why did I think it was hydrogen sulfide? Hydrogen sulfide has emerged as an important 'gasotransmitter' that regulates several bodily systems including: the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, hormonal, and nervous systems. This is what we do. Our team of licensed nutritionists and dietitians strive to be objective, unbiased, honest and to present both sides of the argument. I can go on. In the colon, there are numerous bacterial species that grow on poorly digested foods such as starches and sugars (carbohydrates).2As the bacteria within the colon ferment these foods, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases are released during the process. Youll have to do it in the office of the provider, which makes it significantly less convenient, because now you have to hang out for three hours at a doctors office. Most people with hydrogen sulfide issues find that garlic, eggs, kale and other brassica vegetables like broccoli and brussel sprouts are the most problematic foods that promote their symptoms. It's used to help diagnose common digestive problems, including SIBO, IBS and lactose intolerance. Irrespective of all these details, first thing, double-check that the task was done the correct way. Sorry to hear she is having trouble with the baths. When our body recognizes that we are low in sulfate, it can adapt and grow more H2S producing bacteria, since hydrogen sulfide gas and sulfite can be used to produce sulfate where its needed. Im not even going to share any more about that. And when we talked to Dr. Pimentel about it, he said what it could be is that methane is present, but its a level that is below detectable by the breath test machine in parts per million. And the reason why is because were not yet testing for hydrogen sulfide. These amino acids, of course, are also building blocks for protein, so sulfur is necessary for building proteins in general. And this is something hes actually been talking about for many, many years and reported on for many years. Although if Im remembering some of the details correctly, you oftentimes see an overlap between being traditional SIBO-positive and hydrogen-sulfide-SIBO-positive. (The characteristic rotten egg smell is due to sulfur.). Theyve been sick for so long. Because they had diarrhea that flushed it out. Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas that has a characteristic smell of rotten eggs. Maybe we should start with defining hydrogen sulfide SIBO for people who havent heard of it Im sure most of our audience has. Its amazing how far weve come and we have farther to go.
