Three 2 hour Seminars
December 11th & 12th, 2014
Presented by Dr. Michael Pierce
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common problem today. It is found in over 70% of patients with irritable bowel syndrome and over 60% of patients with celiac disease (with persistent symptoms). In this condition, bacteria from the large intestine translocate to the small intestine, and the individual becomes sensitive to a diverse list of foods that lead to small intestinal bacterial fermentation.
In this informative seminar, developed Dr. Datis Kharrazian and presented by Dr. Michael Pierce, the different causative mechanisms of SIBO as well as how to recognize them will be discussed.
Topics include:
• A systemic review of the latest literature on the exact
mechanisms leading to the symptoms and signs of
SIBO.
• The list of recommended foods to avoid for those who
experience SIBO
• The major mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology
of SIBO, including various mechanisms of
malabsorption, causes of enteric nervous system
degeneration, and the brain-gut axis dysregulation
involving both motility and intestinal valve control.
• Clinical jewels and insights
