The Autoimmune RESET
Understanding the Root Cause of IBS and Its Link with Autoimmune Disease
In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET, host VJ Hamilton delves into a provocative study by Benjamin I. Brown that challenges the traditional diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The study, "Does Irritable Bowel Syndrome Exist? Identifiable and Treatable Causes of Associated Symptoms Suggest It May Not," suggests that many symptoms attributed to IBS may actually stem from identifiable and treatable underlying conditions.
Join VJ as she explores these conditions, including Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), food sensitivities and intolerances, inflammatory conditions, gut dysbiosis, stress, psychological factors, and nutrient deficiencies.
Learn how personalised nutritional strategies can help manage these underlying issues, improve digestion, and alleviate discomfort. If you’re struggling with IBS-like symptoms and looking for new insights and solutions, this episode is a must-listen.
Key Topics:
- Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
- Food sensitivities and intolerances
- Inflammatory conditions like microscopic colitis and mild IBD
- Gut dysbiosis
- Stress and psychological factors
- Nutrient deficiencies
Tune in to discover a comprehensive and personalised approach to gut health that goes beyond the traditional IBS diagnosis, offering hope and targeted treatments for those suffering from gut issues, inflammation and autoimmune disease.
