Description

What if your “IBS” diagnosis isn’t the whole story?

Behind the bloating, gas, and unpredictable bowel movements lies an imbalance that millions silently struggle with: small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). In SIBO Uncovered: Exploring the Hidden Epidemic Behind Your IBS Symptoms, holistic nutritionist and functional nutrition practitioner Kirsten Janz pulls back the curtain on this misunderstood imbalance, blending cutting-edge research and fifteen years of clinical experience with her own powerful healing story.

From food poisoning to motility issues, hormonal imbalances to abdominal surgery, Janz explores the mechanisms that may contribute to bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, offering clarity where confusion once reigned. With empathy, scientific precision, and real-world guidance, she walks readers through testing options, supportive diets, and care approaches commonly used by health practitioners to nurture long-term digestive healing.

Whether you’ve tried every diet under the sun or you’re just beginning to search for answers, SIBO Uncovered will change the way you think about your symptoms—and your body. Packed with practical tools, compassionate insight, and hope, this book is more than a guide— it’s a road map to achieving balance, obtaining vitality, and restoring your gut health.

Comparative Titles: Perfect for readers of Healthy Gut, Healthy You by Michael Ruscio, The Microbiome Solution by Robynne Chutkan, and Super Gut by William Davis, SIBO Uncovered offers an evidence-based exploration of the mechanisms, contributing factors, and complexities behind SIBO.
