Gut Health, IBS & SIBO

Antibiotics lower gut diversity, but the healthy adult microbiome usually rebounds in about six weeks. How recovery works and how to support it in Adelaide.

Reflux isn’t always too much acid. Low stomach acid can drive heartburn, bloating, SIBO and B12 or iron deficiency. Here’s how to tell, and how to test it.

Most symptoms blamed on parasites turn out to be dysbiosis, SIBO or a motility problem. Testing before treating changes what you find, and what helps.

Is Your SIBO Breath Test Reliable? Why Standard Testing May Miss the Mark in IBS — Over half of SIBO cases are missed by standard breath testing. Why the test is unreliable in IBS, and what a comprehensive assessment actually involves.

Your gut bacteria help set your mood. How short-chain fatty acids, immune signals and the vagus nerve carry the message, and which changes shift the balance.

IBS affects up to 11% of people. How low FODMAP, individualised fibre and trigger identification reduce bloating and pain, and where each approach falls short.

Antibiotics clear beneficial gut bacteria along with harmful ones. What research shows about how fully the microbiome recovers, and what supports rebuilding.

Hay fever in Adelaide is an IgE mast cell reaction to pollens such as ryegrass. How mast cell stability, DAO activity and histamine load change severity.

The gut-skin axis links your microbiome to visible skin ageing through inflammation, immune signalling and nutrient absorption. What supports the barrier.

The DAO enzyme clears histamine from the body. When DAO activity is low, histamine builds up and may trigger flushing, headaches, gut upset and skin reactions.
