90% of all research on the gut microbiome has only been published in the last 8 years- so it can be hard to find out what's going on to cause your IBS. IBS encompasses a large array of underlying conditions like:
• SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) which makes up to 84% of IBS.
• Candida, which is when the normal levels of fungus in the gut have gotten out of control.
• Dysbiosis, which is an imbalance in the gut microbiome.
• Intestinal permeability - which can lead to many issues throughout the body via faulty tight junction mechanisms.
