HC -ok, here it goes, a little TMI here – both candida and Sibo will give you enough gas to blow up a 1970’s good year blimp over an American football game. And if you once sported a six pack abs, you will be sporting a keg under your shirt / waistline instead.
Candida presents itself more in the upper part of the digestive track all the way into the esophagus, sometimes oral- then it’s thrush. Candida is more of the upper bloating feel. Sweets and carbs activate Candida overgrowth very fast upon consumption.
Sibo is more of a lower bloating feel it, it’s intestinal, and Sibo gas is about
as nasty as it gets but less bloating, you can clear everyone out of a quarter mile distance LOL. Some people lack an enzyme to digest Certain sugars but more specifically FODmap sugars . Not surprisingly, fodmaps also trigger sibo response in many people.
With either of the above stuff exiting your body in the normal direction , it won’t necessarily be that physically abnormal But there can be some extreme cases where it is.
Also, there’s something to be said about
the sphincter valve between your stomach and intestines if it doesn’t shut properly intestinal overgrowth can get into the stomach and there is also the possibility of candida and or SIBO infecting and blocking the bile duct. When that happens you might possibly have floaters with no other explanation as to why. When or if this happens taking a digestive supplement with ox bile in it seems to help.
Leaky gut is a little more difficult to describe if I were you I would Google it. What factors that’s how you get nutrients they got leaking leaky gut just means the gaps in the microvilli are wider and this will result in you suddenly being a little more knowledgeable in foods that you just cannot tolerate you may have reactions to those some of those reactions may actually be seen on lab testing in the form of cytokines release. There are some foods now that I’m more healed that I can tolerate better Vs in the past, I find this rather interesting and hopeful.
In my experience both candida albicans and leaky gut contributed to brain fog, basic decline of cognitive abilities and word searching and slurred speech.
The above reasons are why I believe Everyone here should be controlling sugar intake.And seriously just say no to cakes and pastries etc. I’m gluten-free, Not by choice, I stay 100% clear of gluten-free cakes and pastries and I’m pretty specific with the snack bars I eat - the better ones are only found at health food stores and to my surprise..... Costco Has Paleo and grain free bars as well as fig free. The latest craze is to pack these natural bars with figs ....do you have an idea how much condensed sugar is in a fig, it’s really ridiculous and will make Sibo go through the roof.
I had the most complete food testing ,one major test which was $350 USD now gos about
double that apparently from other members here mentioning.
Much of what I said above may be totally discredited by an old-school conventional doctors, quite frankly those types don’t know much and don’t help very many people even though some of the younger ones that actually decide to venture into this area actually understand it.
