Could SIBO Antibiotics Also Help Treat Endometriosis?

from This EndoLife · host Jessica Duffin

Antibiotics, understandably, have a bad reputation because of how much they’ve been overused in the past few decades, and the impact that has had on our gut microbiomes and overall health, not to mention, resistance development.So, when it comes to antibiotics for SIBO, most of my clients are initially hesitant to consider them, and will typically opt for antimicrobial herbs instead.However, there are some potential benefits of antibiotics for endometriosis, so I thought it was worth sharing these with you, so that if you find yourself having to treat SIBO, you can make an informed decision about which path you’d like to take.References1) Dr Siebecker estimates, in course: https://siboprocourse.siboinfo.com/?ref=15748-Allison-Siebecker2) https://www.siboinfo.com/antibiotics.html3)  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5299503/, https://www.cghjournal.org/article/S1542-3565(09)01331-7/fulltext4) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5299503/, https://www.cghjournal.org/article/S1542-3565(09)01331-7/fulltext, https://www.siboinfo.com/antibiotics.html5) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24788320/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19996983/, https://www.siboinfo.com/antibiotics.html6) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29574688/, https://www.siboinfo.com/antibiotics.html7) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28078798/ , https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26780631/,  https://www.siboinfo.com/sibo-antibiotics.html, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19243285/8) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24788320/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19996983/, https://www.siboinfo.com/antibiotics.html, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29574688/, https://www.siboinfo.com/antibiotics.html9) https://www.triosmartbreath.com/intestinal-sulfide-overproduction, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9558280/10) https://www.sciencedirect.com/org/science/article/pii/S263383862400004611) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12942269/, https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/11/8/208912) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6554192/13) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0002937824007506#bib2614) https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article/39/Supplement_1/deae108.658/770380215) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21806984/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20816942/, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2957776/, 16) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10855755/17)  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5543406/18) https://www.theendobellycoach.com/podcast/lipopolysaccharides-endo-pain-growth19) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21806984/, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11617758/, https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5543406/20) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20852272/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12120885/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25244596/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30555323/, 21) https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10458414/, https://www.sciencedirect.com/org/science/article/pii/S2633838624000046Need more help or want to learn how to work with me?Ways to work with me:⁠One to one coaching info and application⁠‍ ‍Endo Sessions: Single and mini-package one to one endo coachingSIBO Sessions: Single and mini-package one to one SIBO coachingLive and Thrive with Endo 2.0 DIY online course⁠Masterclasses in endo nutrition, surgery prep and recovery and pain relief⁠⁠This EndoLife, It Starts with Breakfast digital cookbook⁠Affiliate PartnershipsmBIOTA -mBIOTA Elemental is the next generation of the elemental diet.
