Phoebe Lapine knows all about irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)... and sugar!Phoebe is the author of SIBO Made Simple, which is a must-read not just for those suffering from unwanted GI symptoms, but anyone looking to improve their gut health without sacrificing delicious food. In this episode, Phoebe talks about her health issues, including the auto-immune disease Hashimoto's thyroiditis and its symptoms. It caused her to have a horrible skin rash, fatigue, unhealthy weight loss, disturbed digestion...Eventually she went to see a holistic practitioner and started to do an elimination diet, starting with one month excluding gluten, caffeine, alcohol... and added sugars.After 10 years of chronic issues, Phoebe's symptoms improved dramatically. Her liver healed, her skin cleared up, her inflammation went down which meant that her auto-immune issues improved.
