SIBO is surprisingly common these days.

Yet it goes unrecognized quite frequently, even though it’s a common driver behind issues such as:
-Chronic fatigue
-Brain fog
-Skin issues
-Hormonal imbalances
-Autoimmune conditions
-Mental issues such as generalized anxiety and depression
-Systemic inflammation

If you still think that SIBO can't be one of the primary drivers behind your health issues, think again since:
-At least half of the people who’ve used PPIs or antibiotics have it.
-Most people who eat the S.A.D have it.
-Up to 78% of people an IBS diagnosis actually just have SIBO.
-Sibo is present in up to 50% of hypothyroid patients.
and there's more as you will see in this thread.

So without further ado, here’s the ultimate guide for conquering SIBO (leave a like/RT if you find it useful)🧵

MASTIC GUM 101 - the powerful gut-healing tool for bloating, reflux, H Pylori & IBS:

Mastic gum has been used medicinally for thousands of years.

It can help address several of the root causes behind chronic gut problems.

What mastic gum does:

◇ Antibacterial
◇ Antifungal
◇ Antiparasitic
◇ Anti-inflammatory
◇ Pro-motility
◇ Supports saliva production

Mastic has antimicrobial activity against various GI pathogens:

◈ H. pylori
◈ Candida
◈ Other pathogenic bacteria

H. pylori is associated with:

◇ Gastritis
◇ Ulcers
◇ Nausea
◇ Upper GI discomfort

Mastic can help suppress this stubborn pathogen without broadly destroying the gut microbiome.

Mastic improves gut motility:

Poor motility can cause:

◇ Bacterial accumulation
◇ Bloating
◇ Constipation
◇ Reverse peristalsis
◇ Reflux
◇ Nausea
◇ Early fullness

Clinical trials have shown improvements in gastroparesis symptoms including:

➜ Less nausea
➜ Less bloating
➜ Less fullness
➜ Improved appetite

Mastic stimulates saliva production.

Saliva contains antimicrobial compounds that help control microbes before they reach the GI tract.

This may also explain why chewing mastic can help with:

◇ White/coated tongue
◇ Bad breath
◇ Oral microbial overgrowth

Mastic reduces gut inflammation:

Bacterial endotoxin (LPS) can activate inflammatory pathways including:

◇ Nitric oxide production
◇ Prostaglandins
◇ Other inflammatory signaling

Mastic has demonstrated anti-endotoxin effects and can inhibit some of these inflammatory pathways.

Studies have reported improvements in:

◇ Intestinal inflammation
◇ GI symptoms
◇ Crohn's disease activity
◇ Other inflammatory bowel conditions

What people commonly notice:

➜ Cleaner tongue
➜ More consistent bowel movements
➜ Less reflux
➜ Greater appetite
➜ Less bloating
➜ Less nausea

Mastic is interesting because it simultaneously supports:

◈ Microbial balance
◈ Gut motility
◈ Saliva production
◈ Inflammation
◈ Endotoxin control

By addressing microbes, motility, and inflammation at the same time, it may be particularly useful for people dealing with chronic:

◇ Bloating
◇ Reflux
◇ Nausea
◇ Constipation
◇ IBS-type symptoms

Phenomenal insights ... the issue is that chewability and diffusion of flavors and functional compounds is a challenge with mastic.
We ended up with an 80-20 ratio of natural chicle gum base to mastic

Mastic gum KILLED H. pylori in just 14 days. (PMID: 19879118)

It wiped out 90%+ of strains in the lab. Including the antibiotic-resistant ones your doctor can’t touch.

H. pylori infects 4.4 BILLION people.

WHO classified it as a Class 1 carcinogen. Same category as cigarettes.

Left untreated, it causes:

→ stomach ulcers

→ internal bleeding

→ stomach cancer

→ chronic gastritis

→ iron deficiency anemia

→ B12 deficiency

H. pylori has been burrowed into your stomach wall for YEARS. Your doctor blamed stress and handed you a PPI.

That PPI shut off your stomach acid. The ONE thing keeping H. pylori from colonizing DEEPER.

Your doctor’s solution? Triple antibiotic therapy. Three drugs. 14 days.

It FAILS up to 40% of the time.

The surviving strain is now DRUG-RESISTANT.

Mastic gum killed it. Zero antibiotics. Zero resistance. Zero side effects. Same 14 days.

3,000-year-old tree resin from a Greek island. Did what three modern drugs can’t.

Stop blaming food. Kill the bacteria. ↓
