Healing SIBO without Antibiotics

My guest this week is Dr. Melanie Keller, who struggled with digestive issues for years before learning that it was caused by SIBO, or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

Dr. Melanie Keller earned her doctor of naturopathic medicine degree from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in Portland, Oregon. Her education included an extended internship and post-graduate training with Steven Sandberg-Lewis as well as post-graduate training with Allison Siebecker. She went on to become a founding physician in the development of the SIBO Center and SIBO Symposium at National University of Natural Medicine.

Once in Southern California, she spent time with leading SIBO physician, Dr. Mark Pimentel, MD, and his team at Cedars-Sinai’s GI Motility Program and the Pimentel Laboratory.

While in naturopathic school, Dr. Melanie discovered the cause of her longtime digestive problems was actually SIBO, or rather, an excess of methogens. She eventually treated it successfully, but it took multiple tries.

Now, she shares this knowledge with her patients, for whom she develops highly individualized treatments.

In this episode, Melanie primarily shares how she was able to treat SIBO without antibiotics.

In my conversation with Melanie you’ll hear…

How she diagnosed herself About the different types of SIBO Why methane SIBO isn’t actually small intestinal bacterial overgrowth How too-low or too-high stomach acid contributes to SIBO or methanogens The type of testing required to assess stomach acid levels The steps she took to treat SIBO How addressing her stomach acid levels made all the difference for her The role of diet and why long-term restrictive diets are not recommended How she prevents SIBO relapses
