“SIBO is associated with the onset and exacerbation of most skin diseases,” noted endocrinologist Ekaterina Young on her Telegram channel.
Additionally, if the syndrome is ignored, anemia can occur, as SIBO impairs the absorption of nutrients, fats, and vitamins. Sometimes, in bacterial overgrowth syndrome, “even the most advanced supplements do not have an effect,” the doctor warned.
People with SIBO complain of bloating as well as other symptoms due to gas-producing pathogens. In addition to the direct increase in gas formation, the person notices belching and bitterness in the mouth.
Some complain of bad breath and problems with stools. The reasons for this condition are banal and removable. “The main reason is a lack of energy, which is often due to an unhealthy lifestyle. You go to bed late, don’t know how to choose foods that will benefit you, and eat a lot of sweets,” Young said.
Previously, the specialist explained why it is important to avoid foods with empty calories during the cold season. Chips, donuts, sodas, sauces and processed foods are especially harmful in winter, since they do not provide the body with anything healthy and nutritious, at a time when it especially needs it. It is necessary to choose foods “rich in vitamins and minerals” that help make up for deficiencies. For example, “seasonal” sauerkraut, pomegranates, pumpkin and citrus fruits are suitable.
