info_outlineGitanjali Goel joins Mary to talk about SIBO small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It is something that a lot of people experience at some time in their life. The symptoms are varied but include constipation or diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, and flatus. For some, the symptoms are very distressing and really affect everyday life. For others the symptoms can be manageable for many years and then something triggers a worsening of symptoms and suddenly, it is affecting many aspects of their day.
Gitanjali explains how homeopathy helps rebalance the body even if the original cause of the health disturbance happened many years previously. Both acute and more long term remedies can really help your body get back in check.
